 “Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect
on such day, (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus  1⁄2 of 1% and (c) the Adjusted LIBOR for a one month Interest Period on such day (or if
such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%, provided that, the Adjusted LIBOR for any day shall be based on the Adjusted LIBOR at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day. Any change in the Base Rate due
to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR, respectively.

converted from a different type into such type by the Lenders on a single date and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, for a single Interest Period. Borrowings of Loans are made and maintained ratably from each of the Lenders according to their
Percentages. A Borrowing of Loans is “advanced” on the day Lenders advance funds comprising such Borrowing to the Borrower, is “continued” on the date a new Interest Period for the same type of Loans commences for such Borrowing,
and is “converted” when such Borrowing is changed from one (1) type of Loan to the other, all as requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5(a) hereof. Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans are each a “type” of

deposits in the London interbank market. 
 “Capital Lease” means any lease of Property which in accordance
with GAAP is required to be capitalized on the balance sheet of the lessee; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any lease that would have been categorized as an operating lease as determined with GAAP as of the
Closing Date be considered a Capital Lease (whether or not such lease was in effect on such date) regardless of any change in GAAP following the Closing Date that would otherwise require such obligations to be recharacterized (on a prospective or
retroactive basis or otherwise) as a Capital Lease. 
 “Capitalized Lease Obligation” means, for any Person,
the amount of the liability shown on the balance sheet of such Person in respect of a Capital Lease determined in accordance with GAAP. 

“Captive Insurance Subsidiary” means any Restricted Subsidiary of Parent that is subject to regulation as an insurance
company (or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof). 
 “Cash Equivalents” means, as to any Person: (a) investments
in direct obligations of the United States of America or any member of the European Union or of any agency or instrumentality thereof whose obligations constitute full faith and credit obligations of the United States of America or any member of the
European Union or obligations guaranteed by the United States of America or any member of the European Union or any agency thereof; provided that any such obligations shall mature within one (1) year of the date of issuance thereof;
(b) investments in commercial paper rated at least P-2 by Moody’s or at least A-2 by S&P (or, if at any time neither Moody’s nor S&P shall be rating such obligations, an equivalent rating from another nationally recognized

by Moody’s or A-2 by S&P (or, if at any time neither Moody’s nor S&P shall be rating such obligations, an equivalent rating from another nationally recognized rating service), (f) (i) Dollars, Canadian dollars, pounds,
euros or any national currency of any participating member state of the EMU; or (ii) in the case of any Foreign Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary or any jurisdiction in which Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries conduct business,
such local currencies held by it from time to time in the ordinary course of business and (g) investments in money market funds that invest at least 90.0% of their assets in investments of the type described in the immediately preceding clauses

of compliance with any covenant hereunder if such state of compliance or noncompliance, as the case may be, would not exist but for the occurrence of a change in accounting principles after the date hereof.

conversion from a Base Rate Loan until, but excluding, the date of repayment thereof at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted LIBOR applicable for such Interest Period, payable in arrears on the last day
of the Interest Period and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise). 

(c)        Default Rate. While any Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) (with
respect to the late payment of principal, interest or fees), or, with respect to the Borrower, Section 7.1(j) or (k) exists or after acceleration, the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the
extent permitted by law) on the overdue amounts of all Loans, interest or fees owing hereunder by it at a rate equal to 2.00% per annum plus the interest rate otherwise applicable thereto. Such interest shall be paid on demand subject,
except in the case of any Event of Default under Section 7.1(j) or (k), to the request of the Administrative Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders. 

Section 2.5        Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates.

 (a)        Notice to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall give notice to
the Administrative Agent by no later than: (i) 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least two (2) Business Days before the date on which the Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Loans that are Eurodollar Loans (or such later
time as the Administrative Agent may agree) and (ii) 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date the Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Loans that are Base Rate Loans. The Loans included in each Borrowing of Loans shall bear
interest initially at the type of rate specified in such notice. Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing of Loans or, subject to Section 2.6 hereof, a portion
thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing of Loans is of Eurodollar Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower may continue part or all of such Borrowing as Eurodollar Loans or convert part or all of such
Borrowing into Base Rate Loans or (ii) if such Borrowing of Loans is of Base Rate Loans, on any Business Day, the Borrower may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by
the Borrower. The Borrower shall give all such notices requesting the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing of Loans to the Administrative Agent by telephone or telecopy (which notice shall be irrevocable (other than in the case of any
notice given in respect of the Closing Date, which may be conditioned upon the consummation of the Schrader Acquisition) once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing), substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B (Notice of Borrowing) or Exhibit C (Notice of Continuation/Conversion), as applicable, or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Notice of the continuation of a Borrowing of Loans that are Eurodollar Loans
for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Loans that are Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans must be given by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days before the
date of the requested  

  
 -29- 








 
continuation or conversion. All notices concerning the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing of Loans shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a
Borrowing of Loans (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the type of Loans (Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans) to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if
such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such telephonic or telecopy notice given by any person the Administrative Agent in good
faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of independent investigation (the Borrower hereby indemnifies the Administrative Agent from any liability or loss ensuing from such reliance) and, in the event any such notice by
telephone conflicts with any written confirmation, such telephonic notice shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon. 

(b)        Notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic
or telecopy notice to each Lender of any notice from the Borrower received pursuant to Section 2.5(a) above and, if such notice requests the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each
Lender of the interest rate applicable thereto promptly after the Administrative Agent has made such determination. 

(c)        Borrower’s Failure to Notify; Automatic Continuations and Conversions.
If the Borrower fails to give proper notice of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding Borrowing of Loans that are Eurodollar Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period within the period required by Section 2.5(a)
and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with Section 2.8, such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. 

(d)        Disbursement of Loans. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of the requested
advance of the Borrowing of the Loans, subject to Article 3 hereof, each Lender shall make available its Loan comprising part of such Borrowing in funds immediately available at the principal office of the Administrative Agent in New York, New York.
The Administrative Agent shall promptly wire transfer the proceeds of the Borrowing of Loans to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable notice of borrowing. 

(e)        Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding. Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to the date (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, by 1:00 p.m. on such date) on which such Lender is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan
(which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment when due and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption
may (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the
Administrative Agent the amount made available to the Borrower attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on
(but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the related advance was made by the Administrative Agent to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by
such Lender is due hereunder, the greater of, for each such day, (x) the Federal Funds Rate and (y) an overnight rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any
standard administrative or processing fees charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with such Lender’s non-payment and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Lender to the date
such payment is made by such Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. If such amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the
proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan, but without such payment being considered a payment or prepayment of a Loan under Section 8.1
hereof so that the Borrower will have no liability under such Section with respect to such payment. 

Section 2.6        Minimum Borrowing Amounts; Maximum Eurodollar Loans. Each Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans advanced under the Facility shall be in an amount not less than $1.0 million or such greater amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million. Each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans advanced, continued or converted
un-

  
 -30- 








 
der the Facility shall be in an amount equal to $1.0 million or such greater amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million. Without the Administrative Agent’s consent, there shall not
be more than fifteen (15) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans outstanding at any one time. 

Section 2.7        Maturity of Loans. The Loans, both for principal and interest, shall
mature and become due and payable by the Borrower on the date that is forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date (the “Final Maturity Date”). 

Section 2.8        Voluntary Prepayments of Loans. The Borrower may, at its option, upon
notice as herein provided, prepay without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 8.1 below) at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Loans, in each case, in a minimum aggregate amount of $5.0 million or such greater
amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. The Borrower will give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written notice) of each
prepayment under this Section 2.8 prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least one (1) Business Day in the case of Base Rate Loans and two (2) Business Days in the case of Eurodollar Loans prior to the date fixed for such prepayment
(which notice may be revoked at the Borrower’s option). Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), the principal amount of such Loans to be prepaid and the interest to be paid on the prepayment
date with respect to such principal amount being repaid. Such notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or other transactions, in which case
such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.8 may not be reborrowed. The
Administrative Agent will promptly advise each Lender of any notice of prepayment it receives from the Borrower. 

Section 2.9        Place and Application of Payments. All payments of principal of and
interest on the Loans, and of all other Obligations payable by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the due date
thereof at the office of the Administrative Agent in New York, New York (or such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate to the Borrower in writing) for the benefit of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto. Any payments received
after such time shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day. All such payments shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds at the place of payment, in each case without set-off or
counterclaim, except as provided in Section 10.7. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest on Loans ratably to the Lenders and like funds relating to
the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) pursuant to the exercise of remedies under Sections 7.2 and 7.3 hereof or
(y) after written instruction by the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all payments and collections received in respect of the Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral received, in
each instance, by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, shall be remitted to the Administrative Agent and distributed as follows: 

(a)        first, to the payment of any outstanding costs and expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent, and any security trustee therefor, in monitoring, verifying, protecting, preserving or enforcing the Liens on the Collateral, in protecting, preserving or enforcing rights under the Loan Documents, and in any
event all costs and expenses of a character which the Borrower has agreed to pay the Administrative Agent under Section 10.13 hereof (such funds to be retained by the Administrative Agent for its own account unless it has previously been
reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Lenders, in which event such amounts shall be remitted to the Lenders to reimburse them for payments theretofore made to the Administrative Agent); 

(b)        second, to the payment of any outstanding interest and fees
due under the Loan Documents to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof; 

  
 -31- 








 (c)        third, to the
payment of principal on the Loans, the aggregate amount paid to the Lenders to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof; 

(d)        fourth, to the payment of all other unpaid Obligations and
all other indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Borrower, Parent and its Subsidiaries secured by the Collateral Documents to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof;
and 
 (e)        fifth, to the Borrower or whoever else may be
lawfully entitled thereto. 
 Section 2.10        Commitment Terminations. The
Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making, conversion or continuance, as applicable, of the Loans on the Closing Date. 

Section 2.11        [reserved]. 

Section 2.12        Evidence of Indebtedness. 

(a)        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 from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(b)        The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will
record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the type thereof and, with respect to Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable
from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(c)        The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses
(a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein
shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms. 

(d)        Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or
notes in the forms of Exhibit D (being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Notes” and individually as a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note
payable to such Lender in the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of the Loans. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 10.10) be
represented by one (1) or more Notes, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in subsections (a) and
(b) above. 
 Section 2.13        Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Once paid when due and payable, such fees shall not be refundable
under any circumstances.

 ARTICLE 4.        THE
COLLATERAL AND THE GUARANTY. 
 Section 4.1        Collateral. As of the Closing
Date and until the occurrence of the Assumption, subject to Section 4.5 below, the Obligations shall be secured by (a) valid, perfected, and enforceable Liens on all right, title, and interest of each Grantor in all capital stock and other
Equity Interests (other than Excluded Equity Interests) held by such Person in each of its Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter formed or acquired, and all proceeds thereof, and (b) valid, perfected, and enforceable Liens on all right,
title, and interest of each Grantor in all personal property and fixtures, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds thereof (other than Excluded Property). 

Section 4.2        Liens on Real Property. After the Closing Date and until the
occurrence of the Assumption, in the event that any Grantor hereafter acquires fee-owned real property having a fair market value in excess of $30 million (as determined by Parent in good faith and without requirement of delivery of an appraisal or
other third-party valuation) (other than any Excluded Property), within 90 days following the acquisition thereof (or such longer period as to which the Administrative Agent may consent), Parent shall, or shall cause such Grantor to (i) execute
and deliver to the Collateral Agent (or a security trustee therefor) a Mortgage, title policy, ALTA survey, if required by the title company issuing the title policy (or no-change affidavits in connection with existing surveys), and certificates of

granting to the Collateral Agent a Lien on such real property to secure the Obligations and shall pay all taxes and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in recording such Mortgage; provided if the Mortgaged Property
is in a jurisdiction that imposes a mortgage recording or similar tax on the amount secured by such Mortgage, then the amount secured by such Mortgage shall be limited to the fair market value (without requirement of delivery of an appraisal or

Determination with respect to each Mortgaged Property (together with a notice about special flood hazard area status and flood disaster assistance duly executed by Parent and each applicable Grantor relating thereto). 

Section 4.3        Guaranty. As of the Closing Date and until the occurrence of the
Assumption, the payment and performance of the Obligations shall at all times be guaranteed by Parent and each Restricted Subsidiary of Parent (other than the Borrower, the Target Company or an Excluded Subsidiary), including any Immaterial
Subsidiary which becomes a Material Subsidiary (each, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”) pursuant to a guaranty agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit J, as the same may be
amended, restated, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time (the “Guaranty”). 

Section 4.4        Further Assurances. On and after the Closing Date and until the

any Collateral to the extent the cost, burden, difficulty or consequence of granting or perfecting a Lien (including any mortgage, stamp, intangible or other tax or expenses relating to such Lien) outweighs the benefit to the Lenders of the security
afforded thereby as reasonably determined by Parent and the Administrative Agent, (b) no Grantor shall be required to complete any filings or take any other action (including the execution of a foreign law security or pledge agreement or the
act of a foreign intellectual property filing or search) with respect to the grant or perfection of a security interest on any Collateral in any jurisdiction other than the United States; provided that with respect to any Equity Interests of

provision in respect of material Collateral shall be determined to be invalid or any Loan Party terminates, repudiates in writing or rescinds any Loan Document executed by it or any of its obligations thereunder; 

(f)         default shall occur under any Material Indebtedness, or under any
indenture, agreement or other instrument under which the same may be issued, the effect of which default is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of such Material Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders) to
cause any such Indebtedness to become due or required to be prepaid, repurchased, defeased or redeemed prior to its stated maturity, or the principal or interest under any such Material Indebtedness shall not be paid when due (whether by demand,
lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise) after giving effect to applicable grace or cure periods, if any; provided that this clause (f) shall not apply to termination events or any other similar event under the documents governing Hedge
Agreements for so long as such termination event or other similar event does not result in (x) the occurrence of an early termination date or (y) a failure to pay amounts owed resulting from any acceleration or prepayment of any amounts or
other Indebtedness payable thereunder; provided further that this clause (f) shall not apply to any Indebtedness represented by the Convertible Notes; 

(g)         any final judgment or judgments, writ or writs or warrant or warrants of
attachment, or any similar process or processes, shall be entered or filed against Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or against any of its Property, in an aggregate amount in excess of $200 million (except to the extent paid or

(h)         a Reportable Event shall have occurred which could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or any member of its Controlled Group, shall fail to pay when due an amount or amounts aggregating in excess of $150 million which it shall have become
liable to pay to the PBGC or to a Plan under Title IV of ERISA; or notice of intent to terminate a Plan or Plans having aggregate Unfunded Vested Liabilities in excess of $150 million (collectively, a “Material Plan”) shall be filed
under Title IV of ERISA by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or any other member of its Controlled Group, any plan administrator or any combination of the foregoing; or the PBGC shall institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to
terminate or to cause a trustee to be appointed to administer any Material Plan or a proceeding shall be instituted by a fiduciary of any Material Plan against Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or any member of its Controlled Group, to

 (i)         any Change of Control shall occur;


  
 -67- 








 (j)         the Borrower, Parent or any

(60) days, (ii) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (iii) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) apply for, seek, consent to or acquiesce in, the appointment of a

United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, to adjudicate it insolvent, or seeking dissolution, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization or relief of debtors; or 
 (k)         a custodian, receiver,
trustee, examiner, provisional liquidator, liquidator or similar official shall be appointed for the Borrower, Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries, or any substantial part of any of its Property, or a
proceeding described in Section 7.1(j)(v) shall be instituted against the Borrower, Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, and such appointment continues undischarged or such proceeding continues undismissed or
unstayed for a period of 60 days. 
 Section 7.2       Non-Bankruptcy Defaults. When any Event of
Default other than those described in subsection (j) or (k) of Section 7.1 hereof has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, by written notice to the Borrower: (a) if so directed by the Required Lenders,
terminate all obligations of the Lenders hereunder on the date stated in such notice (which may be the date thereof) and (b) if so directed by the Required Lenders, declare the principal of and the accrued interest on all outstanding Loans to
be forthwith due and payable and thereupon all outstanding Loans, including both principal and interest thereon, shall be and become immediately due and payable together with all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents without further demand,
presentment, protest or notice of any kind. The Administrative Agent, after giving notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 7.1(c) or this Section 7.2, shall also promptly send a copy of such notice to the other Lenders, but the failure
to do so shall not impair or annul the effect of such notice. 
 Section 7.3       Bankruptcy Defaults.
When any Event of Default described in subsections (j) or (k) of Section 7.1 hereof has occurred and is continuing, then all outstanding Loans shall immediately become due and payable together with all other amounts payable under the

Section 7.4       [reserved]. 

Section 7.5       Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower under
Section 7.1(c) hereof promptly upon being requested to do so by the Required Lenders and shall at such time also notify all the Lenders thereof. 

ARTICLE 8.       CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES AND CONTINGENCIES. 

Section 8.1       Funding Indemnity. If any Lender shall incur any loss, cost or expense (including,
without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan, but excluding any loss of margin) as a result of: 

(a)         any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan on a date other
than the last day of its Interest Period, 
 (b)         any failure (because of a
failure to meet the conditions of Article 3 or otherwise) by the Borrower to borrow or continue a Eurodollar Loan, or to convert a Loan that is a Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan, on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to
Section 2.5(a) hereof, 
 (c)         any failure by the Borrower to make any
payment of principal on any Eurodollar Loan when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise), 

  
 -68- 








 (d)         any failure by the Borrower
to prepay a Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in a notice of prepayment given pursuant to Section 2.8 hereto (including where such notice has been revoked by the Borrower or otherwise (unless such notice may be revoked under
Section 2.5 and is revoked in accordance therewith)), or 
 (e)         any
acceleration of the maturity of a Eurodollar Loan as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, 
 then, within ten (10) days after
the written demand of such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to
the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) and the amounts shown on such
certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 Section 8.2       Illegality. Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if at any time any change in applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation thereof makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or continue to maintain any Eurodollar Loans
or to perform its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to such Eurodollar Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and such Lender’s obligations to make or maintain Eurodollar
Loans under this Agreement shall be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans. Such Lender may require that such affected Eurodollar Loans be converted to Base Rate Loans from such Lender
automatically on the effective date of the notice provided above, and such Base Rate Loans shall not be made ratably by the Lenders but only from such affected Lender. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing
promptly following any date on which it becomes lawful for such Lender to make and maintain Eurodollar Loans or give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan. 

Section 8.3       Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a
Eurodollar Loan: 
 (a)         the Administrative Agent determines in good faith and in its
reasonable discretion (which determination shall be deemed presumptively correct absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR for such Interest Period; or 

(b)         the Administrative Agent determines in good faith and in its reasonable discretion or is
advised in writing by the Required Lenders (which determination shall be deemed presumptively correct absent manifest error) that deposits in Dollars are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount
and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan; or 
 (c)         the Administrative Agent determines
in good faith and in its reasonable discretion or is advised in writing by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans
included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as
promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice shall be delivered by the Administrative Agent promptly
after such situation ceases to exist), (i) any Notice of Continuation/Conversion that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Loan shall be ineffective. 

Section 8.4       Yield Protection. 

(a)         If, on or after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation,
or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged 

  
 -69- 








 
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
Governmental Authority: 
 (i)         shall subject any Lender (or its Lending
Office) to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 10.1 and (B) Excluded Taxes), with respect to its Eurodollar Loans, its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or its deposits, reserves
or other liabilities or capital attributable to any of the foregoing; or 
 (ii)
        shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, but excluding with respect to any Eurodollar Loans any such requirement included in an applicable Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Lending Office) or shall
impose on any Lender (or its Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition affecting its Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans; 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Lending Office) under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 30 days after
written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 8.4(a) for any increased costs or reductions suffered more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that Lender notifies the
Borrower of the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include such period of retroactive effect). 
 (b)
        If, after the Closing Date, any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall have determined that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity
requirements, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) or any
corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority has had the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration
such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 30 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section 8.4(b) for any reductions suffered more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that Lender notifies the Borrower of the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s
intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include such period of retroactive
effect). 
 (c)         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all
requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities,
in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation
thereof, shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (but solely to the extent the relevant increased costs or loss of yield would otherwise have been subject to compensation
by the Borrower under the applicable increased cost provisions). 

  
 -70- 








 (d)         A Lender claiming compensation under
this Section 8.4 shall only be entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower (i) if such Lender has delivered to Borrower a certificate claiming compensation under this Section 8.4 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be
paid to it hereunder at the time of such demand, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error (it being understood that in determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods) and (ii) to the extent
the applicable Lender is generally requiring reimbursement therefor from similarly situated borrowers under comparable syndicated credit facilities; provided that, in connection with asserting any such claim, no confidential information need
be disclosed. No failure or delay by a Lender in exercising any right or power pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall operate as a waiver thereof. 

Section 8.5       Substitution of Lenders. In the event that (a) the Borrower receives a claim from
any Lender for compensation under Section 8.4, Section 10.1 or Section 10.4 hereof, (b) the Borrower receives a notice from any Lender of any illegality pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof or (c) any Lender fails to consent
to any amendment, waiver, supplement or other modification pursuant to Section 10.11 requiring the consent of all Lenders or each Lender directly affected thereby, and as to which the Required Lenders or a majority of all Lenders directly
affected thereby have otherwise consented (any such Lender referred to in clause (c) above being hereinafter referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender” and any Non-Consenting Lender and any such Lender referred to in clause
(a) or (b) above being hereinafter referred to as an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may, in addition to any other rights the Borrower may have hereunder or under applicable law, require, at its expense, any such Affected
Lender to assign, at par plus accrued interest and fees, without recourse, all of its interest, rights, and obligations hereunder to an Eligible Assignee specified by the Borrower; provided that (A) such assignment shall not conflict
with or violate any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority, (B) if the assignment is to a Person other than a Lender, the Borrower shall have received the written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to such assignment, (C) the Borrower shall have paid to the Affected Lender all monies (together with amounts due such Affected Lender under Section 8.1 hereof as if the Loans owing to it were
prepaid rather than assigned and any premium owing to such Affected Lender under Section 2.8 other than principal, interest and fees owing to it hereunder, (D) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall
purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts (other than any disputed amounts), pursuant to Section 10.10 owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (E) the assignment is entered into in accordance with the other
requirements of Section 10.10 hereof and (F) any such assignment shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the Affected Lender. Each party hereto
agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this Section 8.5 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Affected Lender required to make such
assignment need not be a party thereto. 
 Section 8.6       Lending Offices. Each Lender may, at its
option, elect to make its Loans hereunder at the branch, office or affiliate specified on the appropriate signature page hereof (each a “Lending Office”) for each type of Loan available hereunder or at such other of its branches,
offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. To the extent reasonably possible, a Lender shall designate an alternative branch or funding office with respect
to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Section 8.4 hereof (or with respect to any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to reduce any liability
of the Borrower to such Lender under section 10.1 hereof), or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Loans under Section 8.2 hereof, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to the Lender. 

ARTICLE 9.       THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. 

Section 9.1       Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby appoints
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and
remedies under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are
expressly specified in the Loan Documents. Each Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. Notwithstanding the use of “Administrative Agent” as a defined term, the
Lenders expressly agree that the Administrative Agent is not acting as a fiduciary of any Lender in respect of the Loan Documents, the Borrower or otherwise, and nothing herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall result in any duties or
obligations on the Administrative Agent or 

  
 -71- 








 
any of the Lenders except as expressly set forth herein and therein. The provisions of this Article 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and no Loan Party
shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof (other than to the extent provided in Sections 9.1, 9.3, 9.7, 9.11 and 9.12). In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act
solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, other than as provided in Section 10.10(c)
with respect to the maintenance of the Register. 
 Section 9.2       Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates. The Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising such rights and power as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Borrower or any
Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to
the Lenders. The term “Lender” as used herein and in all other Loan Documents, unless the context otherwise clearly requires, includes the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. References in Article 2 hereof to the
amount owing to the Administrative Agent for which an interest rate is being determined, refer to the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. 

Section 9.3       Action by Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent receives from the Borrower
a written notice of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.1(f) hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give each of the Lenders written notice thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall
not be required to take any action hereunder with respect to any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall take such action to enforce
its Lien on the Collateral and to preserve and protect the Collateral as may be directed by the Required Lenders. Unless and until the Required Lenders give such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take or refrain
from taking such actions as it deems appropriate and in the best interest of all the Lenders. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action in violation of Applicable Law or of any provision of any Loan
Document, and the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it first receives any further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may
require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expense, and liability which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default exists unless notified in writing to the contrary by a Lender, Parent or the Borrower. In all cases in which the Loan Documents do not require the Administrative Agent to take
specific action, the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in taking any action thereunder. Any instructions of the Required Lenders, or of any other group of Lenders called for under the
specific provisions of the Loan Documents, shall be binding upon all the Lenders and the holders of the Obligations. 
 Section 9.4
      Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 Section 9.5
      Liability of Administrative Agent; Credit Decision; Delegation of Duties. 
 (a)
        Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in
connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents, as determined by a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Loan
Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders
as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.11) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), the Administrative Agent shall be


  
 -72- 








 
entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the
foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper
party or parties, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Parent and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and
(ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of it acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions
of Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.11). In particular and without limiting any of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for confirming the
accuracy of any Compliance Certificate or other document or instrument received by it under the Loan Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain, inquire into or verify: (i) any statement, warranty, representation or recital made in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Credit Extension, or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or
other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders or by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan
Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the terms,
conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements of Parent or any Subsidiary contained herein or in any other Loan Document or the Credit Extension or the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of
Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 3 hereof, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the
execution, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, perfection, value, worth or collectability hereof or of any other Loan Document or of any other documents or writing furnished in connection with any Loan Document or of any
Collateral; and the Administrative Agent makes no representation of any kind or character with respect to any such matter mentioned in this sentence. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under any of the Loan Documents by or
through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, the Borrower, or any other Person for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care. The Administrative
Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent signed by such payee in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges,
represents and warrants that it has independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information, investigations and inquiries as it deems appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to extend credit to the Borrower in the manner set forth in the Loan Documents. It shall be the responsibility of each Lender to keep itself informed as to the creditworthiness of Parent and its Subsidiaries, and the Administrative Agent shall have
no liability to any Lender with respect thereto. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide
any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or
the completeness of any information provided to Lenders. 
 (b)         Delegation of
Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one (1) or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative
Agent (and not otherwise reasonably objected to by the Borrower within ten (10) days after notice of such appointment). The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by
or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 9.5 and of Section 9.6 shall apply to any Affiliates of the Administrative Agent and shall apply to their respective activities
in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this
Section 9.5 and of Section 9.6 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and
privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an inde-

  
 -73- 








 
pendent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person,
against any or all of Loan Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and
(iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the Administrative Agent and not to any Loan Party, Lender or any other Person and no Loan Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party
beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent. 
 Section 9.6       Indemnity. The Lenders shall
ratably, in accordance with their respective Percentages, indemnify the Administrative Agent, to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not been reimbursed by any Loan Party and without relieving any such Loan Party from its obligation to do
so, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, taxes, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as Administrative Agent in any way relating
to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents within ten (10) days after the date the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, taxes, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or bad faith of, or material breach of the Loan
Documents as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become
impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that in no event shall this sentence require any Lender
to indemnify the Administrative Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, tax, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s ratable share thereof, in accordance with such Lender’s
respective Percentage; and provided further that this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify the Administrative Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, tax, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost,
expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 9.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to offset
amounts received for the account of a Lender under this Agreement against unpaid amounts due from such Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether as fundings of participations, indemnities or otherwise), but shall not be entitled to
offset against amounts owed to the Administrative Agent by any Lender arising outside of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

Section 9.7         Resignation of Administrative Agent and Successor Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving ten (10) days written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower (such retiring Administrative Agent, the “Departing Administrative Agent”). The Administrative Agent
shall have the right to appoint a financial institution (which shall be a commercial bank with an office in the U.S. having combined capital and surplus in excess of $1 billion) to act as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent hereunder, with
the written consent of the Borrower and the Required Lenders (not to be unreasonably withheld, and provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default), and the Administrative Agent’s
resignation shall become effective on the earliest of (i) 30 days after delivery of the notice of resignation, (ii) the acceptance of such successor Administrative Agent by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or (iii) such other
date, if any, agreed to by the Borrower and the Required Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation, if a successor Administrative Agent has not already been appointed by the retiring Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the
right, upon the written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld, and provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If
neither the Required Lenders nor the Administrative Agent have appointed a successor Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent; provided that until a successor Administrative Agent is so appointed by the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent in its role as Collateral Agent on behalf
of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents shall continue to be held by the retiring Collateral Agent as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Departing Administrative Agent and the Depart- 

  
 -74- 








 
ing Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held under the Collateral Documents, together
with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent
such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents,
whereupon such Departing Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Except as provided above, any resignation or removal of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or its successor as Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section 9.7 shall also constitute the resignation of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or its successor as Collateral Agent. After any Departing Administrative Agent’s resignation or replacement hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of
this Article 9 and all protective provisions of the other Loan Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent, but no successor Administrative Agent shall in any event be
liable or responsible for any actions of its predecessor. Any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section 9.7 shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent for all purposes
hereunder. 
 Section 9.8       [reserved]. 

Section 9.9       [reserved]. 

Section 9.10       No Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint
Lead Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents, Managing Agents or other agents or arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder. 
 Section 9.11
      Authorization to Enter into, and Enforcement of, the Collateral Documents. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, is hereby irrevocably
authorized by each Secured Party to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties and to execute and deliver the Collateral Documents and Guaranty on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties and to take such action and
exercise such powers under the Collateral Documents as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, considers appropriate. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall (except as expressly provided in
Section 10.11) amend the Collateral Documents unless such amendment is agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it will be bound by the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents upon the
execution and delivery thereof by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, no Lender (or its Affiliates) other than the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral or for the execution of any trust or power
in respect of the Collateral or for the appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of any other remedy under the Collateral Documents; it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Lenders (or their Affiliates) shall have any
right in any manner whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the Lien of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any security trustee therefor), as applicable, under the Collateral Documents by its or their action or to enforce any
right thereunder, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had, and maintained by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (or its security trustee), as applicable, in the manner provided for in the relevant Collateral
Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and their Affiliates. 
 Section 9.12       Authorization to
Release Liens, Etc. The Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders, without the further consent of any Lender, (and shall, upon the written request of Parent or the
Borrower) to (and to execute any agreements, documents or instruments necessary to): 
 (i)
        release any Lien covering any Property of Parent or its Subsidiaries that is the subject of a disposition to a Person that is not a Loan Party that is permitted by this Agreement or that has been
consented to in accordance with Section 10.11; 

  
 -75- 








 (ii)         upon the Termination Date,
release the Borrower and each of the Guarantors from its Obligations under the Loan Documents (other than those that specifically survive termination of this Agreement) and any Liens covering any of their Property with respect thereto; 

(iii)         release any Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Document to
which it is a party if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted by this Agreement and the Liens on such Obligations shall be automatically released; 

(iv)         at the request of the Borrower, subordinate any Lien on any Property
granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such Property that is permitted by Sections 6.15(e), (w) or (x) or, with respect to the replacement of Liens, permitted by Sections
6.15(e), (w) or (x); 
 (v)         enter into any intercreditor
arrangements contemplated by Sections 6.13, 6.14, and/or 6.15 that will allow additional secured debt that is permitted under the Loan Documents to be secured by a lien on the Collateral on a pari passu or junior basis with the Obligations.
The terms of such intercreditor arrangements shall be customary and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and 

(vi)         upon the consummation of the Assumption, release the Liens on the
Collateral. 
 The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Grantors on any Collateral shall
be automatically released (i) in full, upon the Termination Date, (ii) upon the sale or other transfer of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other transfer permitted hereunder) to any Person other
than another Grantor, to the extent such sale, transfer or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Grantor by a Person that is not a
Grantor, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance
with Section 10.11), (v) as required by the Collateral Agent to effect any sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents,
(vi) to the extent such Collateral otherwise becomes Excluded Property and (vii) upon the consummation of the Assumption. 

The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that (a) if (i) all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor or any of its successors in
interest hereunder shall be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof to a Person that is not a Loan Party or (ii) a Guarantor or any of its successors
in interest hereunder becomes an Excluded Subsidiary after the Closing Date, then, in each case, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any
further action by any Person effective as of (or if a Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, immediately prior to) the time of such transfer, sale, disposal or occurrence; provided that a release of a Guarantor (other than the SD
Guarantor) in connection with such Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment in such Excluded Subsidiary as of the date of such release and (b) upon the consummation of the Assumption, the Guarantors shall be
released from their Obligations under the Loan Documents. 
 Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document
relating to any Collateral or Guarantor released pursuant to this Section 9.12 shall no longer be deemed to be repeated with respect to such released Collateral or released Guarantor. 

Section 9.13       Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Administrative
Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 10.1, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent
against, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by
or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid 

  
 -76- 








 
to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify
the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the
Administrative Agent under this Section 9.13. The agreements in this Section 9.13 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 
 Section 9.14       Credit Bidding.
The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or
all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted
under the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 thereof, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or
acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and
purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or
unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating
the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the
Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which
were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for
the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be
governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition
vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.11), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf
of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or
membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that
Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of
Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such
Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the
acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests
in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by such credit bid. 
 ARTICLE 10.         MISCELLANEOUS. 

Section 10.1       Taxes. 

  
 -77- 








 (a)         Payments Free of Withholding.
Except as otherwise required by law, each payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes. If any such withholding or deduction
is so required, such withholding or deduction shall be made by the applicable withholding agent, the amount withheld shall be paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon, and the
relevant Loan Party shall pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender (or, in the case of any amount received by the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative
Agent) after withholding or deduction for Taxes has been made (including such withholding or deduction of Taxes on such additional amount payable under this Section 10.1) is equal to the amount that such Lender (or, in the case of any amount
received by the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) would have received had such withholding or deduction not been made.  

(b)         Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 10.1) paid or payable by Administrative Agent or
such Lender, as applicable, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in the currency in which such payment was made, whether or not such amounts were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority, within ten (10) days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor, which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis thereof.  

(c)         Status of Lenders.  

(i)         Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or
reduction in, withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under any Loan Document. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific
documentation required below in this Section 10.1(c)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. 

(ii)         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: 

(A)         Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), two (2) duly completed and signed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding. 

(B)         Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
  

	 	(i)	two (2) duly completed and signed IRS Forms W-8BEN or IRS Forms W-8BEN-E, as applicable, claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other
documentation as required under the Code; 

  

	 	(ii)	two (2) duly completed and signed IRS Forms W-8ECI; 

  

	 	(iii)	 in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h)
or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two (2) duly completed and signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax
Com-



  
 -78- 









	 	 
pliance Certificate”) and (y) two (2) duly completed and signed IRS Forms W-8BEN or IRS Forms W-8BEN-E, as applicable;  



 

	 	(iv)	to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two (2) duly completed and signed IRS Forms W-8IMY of the Lender, together with an IRS
FormW-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certifications documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable,
provided that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit K-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; or 

  

	 	(v)	two (2) duly completed and signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, together with
such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine any withholding or deduction required to be made. 


(C)         If a payment made to the Administrative Agent or a Lender under any Loan
Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Administrative Agent or such Lender were to fail to comply with the requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as
applicable), the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall deliver to the Borrower and (other than in the case of a payment to the Administrative Agent) the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Laws and
at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Laws (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether the Administrative Agent or such Lender has
complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 (iii)         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.1(c), a
Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. 
 (iv)
        Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 10.1(c). 
 (d)         Evidence of Payments. After any
payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 10.1 or Section 10.4, such Loan Party shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing that payment or certified copies thereof (or, if such receipts are
not available, other evidence of payment reasonably acceptable to the relevant Lender or Administrative Agent) to the Lender or Administrative Agent on whose account such withholding was made (with a copy to the Administrative Agent if not the
recipient of the original) on or before the thirtieth day after payment.  
 (e)
        Tax Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of Taxes as to which it has been indemnified
(including by the payment of additional amounts) pursuant to this Section 10.1 or Section 10.4, it shall pay over an amount equal to such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts
paid, by a Loan Party under this Section 10.1 or Section 10.4 giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable and without interest (other
than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay to such indemnified party the amount paid
over to the Borrower plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority 

  
 -79- 








 
in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1(e), in no event will the
indemnified party be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.1(e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if
the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had not been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 

(f)         [reserved]. 

(g)         Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 10.1 and
Section 10.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the Termination Date. 

Section 10.2       No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Collective Action. No delay or failure on the part of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on the part of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations in the exercise of any power or right under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and of the holder or holders
of any of the Obligations are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 7.2 and Section 7.3 for the benefit of all the Lenders, and each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document (including exercising any rights of set-off) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents or (b) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any debtor relief law. 

Section 10.3       Non-Business Days. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any payment hereunder or
date for performance becomes due and payable or performable (in each case, including as a result of the expiration of any relevant notice period) on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment or the date for such performance
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day on which date such payment shall be due and payable or such other requirement shall be performed. In the case of any payment of principal falling due on a day which is not a Business Day,
interest on such principal amount shall continue to accrue during such extension at the rate per annum then in effect, which accrued amount shall be due and payable on the next scheduled date for the payment of interest. 

Section 10.4       Documentary Taxes. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent shall timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of, any and all present or future documentary, court, stamp, excise, property, intangible,
recording, filing or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made under, from the execution, deliver, performance, enforcement, or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Other Taxes”). 
 Section 10.5
      Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in any other Loan Document or in certificates given pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made until the Termination Date. 

  
 -80- 








 Section 10.6        Survival of Indemnities. All
indemnities and other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders with respect to the Loans, including, but not limited to, Sections 8.1, 8.4, 10.4 and 10.13 hereof, shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment of the Obligations. 
 Section
10.7        Sharing of Set-Off. Each Lender agrees with each other Lender a party hereto that if such Lender shall receive and retain any payment, whether by set-off or application of deposit balances
or otherwise (except pursuant to a valid assignment or participation pursuant to Section 10.10), on any of the Loans in excess of its ratable share of payments on all such Obligations then outstanding to the Lenders, then such Lender shall
purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the Loans held by each such other Lenders (or interest therein) as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess payment
ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, however, that if any such purchase is made by any Lender, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other
Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. 

Section 10.8        Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents shall be in writing (including, without limitation, notice by facsimile or email transmission) and shall be given to the relevant party at its physical address, facsimile number or email address set forth below, or
such other physical address, facsimile number or email address as such party may hereafter specify by notice to the Administrative Agent, Parent and the Borrower given by courier, by United States certified or registered mail, by facsimile, email
transmission or by other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt. Notices under the Loan Documents to any Lender shall be addressed to its physical address or facsimile number or email address set
forth on its Administrative Questionnaire; and notices under the Loan Documents to the Borrower, Parent or the Administrative Agent shall be addressed to their respective physical addresses, facsimile numbers or email addresses set forth below:

 Section
10.9        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties hereto on separate counterpart signature pages, and all such counterparts taken
together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent. 

Section 10.10        Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations. 

(a)         Successors and Assigns Generally. 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 the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause
(b) of this Section 10.10, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause
(f) of this Section 10.10. 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 clause (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement. 
 (b)        Assignments by Lenders. 

(i)        Any Lender may at any time assign to one (1) or more Eligible Assignees all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it. 

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

(A)        except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
Loans at the time owing to the assigning Lender or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of such
Trade Date) shall not be less than $1.0 million (calculated in the aggregate with respect to multiple, simultaneous assignments by two (2) or more Approved Funds which are Affiliates or share the same (or affiliated) manager or advisor and/or
two (2) or more lenders that are Affiliates) unless each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); 

(B)        each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 

(C)        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 (unless otherwise waived or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a
Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and 

(D)        the Eligible Assignee provides the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
the forms required by Section 10.1(b) prior to the assignment. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 10.10, 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 As-

  
 -83- 








 
sumption, 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 8.4, 10.1(a) and 10.13 and subject to any obligations hereunder with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. All parties hereto consent that
assignments to the Borrower permitted by the terms hereof shall not be construed as violating pro rata, optional redemption or any other provisions hereof, it being understood that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this
Agreement, immediately upon receipt by the Borrower of any Loans the same shall be deemed cancelled and no longer outstanding for any purpose under this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 10.11, and in no event shall the Borrower
have any rights of a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

(c)        Register. 

(i)        The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time, and each repayment in respect of the principal amount (and any interest thereon) (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent 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 and any Lender (as to its own interest, but not the interest of any other Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(ii)        The Administrative Agent shall (A) accept the Assignment and Assumption and
(B) promptly record the information contained therein in the Register once all the requirements of clause (a) above have been met. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register. 

(d)        Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice
to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) or a Prohibited
Lender) (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 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 Administrative Agent and the 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 to approve any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver described in subclause (A) (to the extent that such Participant is directly affected) or (B) of Section 10.11. Subject to clause (e) of this
Section 10.10, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.1, 8.4, 10.1, and 10.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein (including the requirements under Section 10.1(c), it
being understood that the documentation required to be provided under Section 10.1(c) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause
(b) of this Section 10.10. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.14 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender. 
 Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this
Section 10.10(d), acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Participants, the commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated
interest) of the Loans owing to, each Participant pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time, and each repayment in respect of the principal amount (and any interest thereon) (each, a “Participant Register”). The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender and the Borrower shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant  

  
 -84- 








 
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of a participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary; provided that no Lender shall have the
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loan or other Obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person
except to the extent such disclosure is necessary in connection with a tax audit or other proceeding to establish that any such Obligations are in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

(e)        Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 8.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 10.1 or Section 10.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment results from a change in law
after the sale of the participation.  
 (f)        Certain Pledges. Any Lender
may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (other than to any Prohibited Lender) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such lender, and this Section 10.10 shall not apply to any pledge or assignment of a security interest; 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. 

(g)        Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the Ohio Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

(h)        [reserved]. 

(i)        Prohibited Lenders. If any assignment or participation under this
Section 10.10 is made (or attempted to be made) (i) to a Prohibited Lender without the Borrower’s prior written consent or (ii) to the extent the Borrower’s consent is required under the terms of this Section 10.10 and
such consent shall have not been obtained or deemed to have been obtained, to any other Person without the Borrower’s consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent,
(A) in the case of any outstanding Loans, purchase such Loans by paying the lesser of par or the same amount that such Lender paid to acquire such Loans, or (B) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance
with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.10), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts
such assignment); provided that (i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the lesser of par or the amount such Lender paid for such Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (ii) the Borrower shall be liable to such Lender under Section 8.1 if any
Eurodollar Loan owing to such Lender is repaid or purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, and (iii) such assignment shall otherwise comply with this Section 10.10 (provided that no registration
and processing fee referred to in this Section 10.10 shall be owing in connection with any assignment pursuant to this clause). Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with
an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder to an assignee as contemplated hereby in the circumstances
contemplated by this Section 10.10(i). Nothing in this Section 10.10(i) shall be deemed to prejudice any rights or remedies the Borrower may otherwise have at law or equity. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower would
suffer irreparable harm if such Lender breaches any of its obligations under Section 10.10(a), 10.10(d) or 10.10(f) insofar as such Sections relate to any assignment, participation or pledge to a Prohibited Lender without the Borrower’s
prior written consent. Additionally, each Lender agrees that the Borrower may seek to obtain specific performance or other equitable or injunctive relief to enforce this Section  

  
 -85- 








 
10.10(i) against such Lender with respect to such breach without posting a bond or presenting evidence of irreparable harm. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have liability
for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Prohibited Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to
ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is a Prohibited Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Prohibited
Lender. 
 (j)        If the Borrower wishes to replace the Loans with ones having different terms,
it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three (3) Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders, instead of prepaying the Loans, to (i) require the Lenders to assign such Loans to
the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 10.11. Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders in the same
manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid by the Borrower), accompanied by payment by the Borrower of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 10.13(b) to the extent demanded
in writing prior to the date of such assignment. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Assumption attached hereto as
Exhibit G and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this clause (j) are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security
interests in the Collateral during any such replacement. 
 Section 10.11 Amendments. 

(a)        No provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be amended, modified,
supplemented or waived unless such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is in writing and is signed by (i) the Borrower, (ii) Parent, (iii) the Required Lenders and (iv) if the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent are adversely affected thereby, the Administrative Agent; provided that: 

(A)        no amendment, modification, supplement or waiver pursuant to this
Section 10.11 shall (i) increase any Commitment or extend the expiry date of any such Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that any such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver that
provides for the payment of interest in kind in addition to, and not as substitution for or as conversion of, the interest otherwise payable hereunder shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders and that a waiver of any condition
precedent or the waiver of any Default or Event of Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment), (ii) reduce the amount of, postpone the date for any scheduled payment of any principal of or
interest or fee on, or extend the final maturity of any Loan or of any fee payable hereunder (other than with respect to a waiver of default interest and it being understood that any change in the definitions of any ratio used in the calculation of
such rate of interest or fees (or the component definitions) shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees) without the consent of each Lender (but not the Required Lenders) to which such payment is owing or which has committed to
make such Loan hereunder or (iii) change the application of payments set forth in Section 2.9 hereof without the consent of any Lender adversely affected thereby; 

(B)        no amendment, modification, supplement or waiver pursuant to this
Section 10.11 shall, unless signed by each Lender, change the definition of Required Lenders in a manner that reduces the voting percentages set forth therein, change the provisions of this Section 10.11, release all or substantially all
of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) or all or substantially all of the value of the guarantees provided by the Guarantors (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents), affect the number of Lenders required
to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or change or waive any provision of any Loan Document that provides for the pro rata nature of disbursements or payments to Lenders or sharing of Collateral among the Lenders
(except in connection with any transaction permitted by the last paragraph of this Section 10.11(a)); and 

(C)        no amendment, modification, supplement or waiver pursuant to this
Section 10.11 shall, unless signed by each Lender party to this Agreement on the Closing Date (to the extent a Lender on the date of such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver), amend, modify, supplement or waive any provision in
Section 10.27. 

  
 -86- 








 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) the Borrower, Parent and the
Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of any other Lender, effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower, Parent and the Administrative Agent to effect
the provisions of Sections 10.10(i) or (j); (b) guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents and related documents executed by Parent, the Borrower or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be
in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be amended, supplemented or waived without the consent of any Lender if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order to (i) comply with local law or advice of
local counsel, (ii) cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (iii) cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (c) the
Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does
not adversely affect the rights of any Lender and the Lenders shall have received, at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of
the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment. 

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment or waiver of the conditions in Section 3.1 shall require the consent of the
Required Lenders as of the date of such amendment or waiver. 
 (b)        [reserved]. 

(c)        Each waiver, amendment, modification, supplement or consent made or given pursuant to this
Section 10.11 shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given, and such waiver, amendment, modification or supplement shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding on the Loan
Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. 
 Section 10.12     Heading.
Section headings and the Table of Contents used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement. 

Section 10.13        Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. 

(a)        The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(on the Closing Date or within thirty (30) days of a written demand therefor, together with reasonable backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request) of (i) the Administrative Agent and Joint Lead Arrangers in connection with
the syndication of the Facility and the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents, (ii) the Administrative Agent in connection with any amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent related to the Loan
Documents, together with any fees and charges suffered or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with collateral filing fees and lien searches and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (within thirty (30) days of a
written demand therefor together with reasonable backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request) in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents. 

(b)        The Borrower further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such,
each Joint Lead Arranger and each Lender, their respective Affiliates and controlling Persons and the respective directors, officers, employees, partners, advisors, agents and other representatives of the foregoing against all Damages (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and other expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not the indemnified person is a party thereto, or any settlement arrangement arising from or relating to any such litigation)
which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to (x) any Loan Document, any of the transactions contemplated thereby, the Facility, the syndication of the Facility, the direct or indirect application or proposed application of
the proceeds of any Loan or the Transactions or (y) any Environmental Liability relating to Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, including without limitation, with respect to the actual or alleged presence, Release or threat of Release of any
Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than those in each of the cases of clauses (x) and (y) above which (i) arise from the gross
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of, or material breach of the Loan Documents by, the party claiming indemnification (or any of its respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents and Affiliates), in each case, to the extent
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment or (ii) arise out of any dispute solely among indemnified persons (other than in connection with 

  
 -87- 








 
any agent or arranger acting in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, a Joint Lead Arranger or any other agent, co-agent, arranger or similar role, in each case in their respective
capacities as such, or in connection with any syndication activities) that did not arise out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each indemnified person shall be obligated to refund and
return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower to such indemnified person for fees, expenses or damages to the extent such indemnified person is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof. No indemnified person and
no Loan Party shall have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after
the Closing Date); provided that nothing in this sentence shall limit any Loan Party’s indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent that such special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages are included in any claim by a
third party unaffiliated with any of the indemnified persons with respect to which the applicable indemnified person is entitled to indemnification as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. No indemnified person nor any other party hereto
shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent any such damages arise from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or material breach of the Loan Documents by, such indemnified
person (or any of its respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents and Affiliates) or such other party hereto, as applicable, in each case to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
judgment. 
 (c)        Notwithstanding any of the foregoing clauses (a) or (b) to
the contrary, in no event shall the Borrower be obligated to pay for the legal expenses or fees of more than one (1) firm of outside counsel and, if reasonably necessary, one (1) local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction or otherwise
retained with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders, taken as a whole, as the case may be, except, solely in the
case of a conflict of interest under clauses (a)(iii) or (b) above, one (1) additional counsel to all affected persons similarly situated, taken as a whole, and if reasonably necessary, one (1) additional local counsel in each
relevant jurisdiction or otherwise retained with Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to all affected persons similarly situated, taken as a whole. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.13 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.14        Set-off. In
addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, but subject to Section 10.2, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, each Lender and each
subsequent holder of any Obligation is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and
to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts, and in whatever currency denominated) and any other
indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender or that subsequent holder to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, whether or not matured, against and on account of any amount due and payable by the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender
or any such subsequent holder of any Obligations agrees to promptly 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 set-off and application. 
 Section 10.15        Entire
Agreement. The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding of the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and any prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby. 

Section 10.16        Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed by and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York; provided that notwithstanding any governing law provision of the Loan Documents, (a) the interpretation of the
definition of “Company Material Adverse Effect” (and whether or not a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred), (b) the determination of the accuracy of any Specified Acquisition Agreement Representation and whether as a
result of any inaccuracy thereof either Parent or its applicable affiliate has the right to terminate its obligations under the Acquisition Agreement or to decline to consummate the Schrader Acquisition and (c) the determination of whether the
Schrader Acquisition has been consummated in accordance with the terms of Acquisition Agreement 

  
 -88- 








 
and, in any case, claims or disputes arising out of any such interpretation or determination or any aspect thereof shall, in each case, be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. 

Section 10.17        Severability of Provisions. Any provision of any Loan Document which is
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions
of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents invalid or unenforceable. 
 Section 10.18        Excess Interest. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by Applicable Law to
be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all or any portion of the Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess
Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided for, herein or in any other Loan Document, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section 10.18 shall govern and control, (b) neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or
endorser shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (c) any Excess Interest that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have received hereunder shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, be (i) applied as a credit against
the then outstanding principal amount of Obligations hereunder and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law), (ii) refunded to the Borrower, or (iii) any combination of the
foregoing, (d) the interest rate payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable usury laws (the “Maximum Rate”), and
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in the relevant interest rate, and (e) neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall have any
action against the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any Damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any of Borrower’s Obligations
is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on the Borrower’s Obligations shall remain at the
Maximum Rate until the Lenders have received the amount of interest which such Lenders would have received during such period on the Borrower’s Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.

 Section 10.19        Construction. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan
Documents shall not be construed more favorably in favor of any party hereto based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation of the Loan Documents. The provisions of
this Agreement relating to Subsidiaries shall apply only during such times as Parent has one (1) or more Subsidiaries. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between or among this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall govern and control. 
 Section 10.20        Lender’s
Obligations Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to satisfy its obligations hereunder except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. 

Section 10.21        USA Patriot Act. Each Lender and each Agent hereby notifies each Loan
Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will
allow such Lender and/or Agent to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
 Section
10.22        Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York and of 

  
 -89- 








 
any New York State court sitting in New York City in the borough of Manhattan for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a
court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect any right that (a) any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any proceeding relating to any Loan Document against any
other party hereto or its respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction (i) for purposes of enforcing a judgment or (ii) in connection with any pending bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding in such jurisdiction or
(b) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any proceeding relating to any Loan Document against any Loan Party or its respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction in connection with
exercising remedies against any Collateral in a jurisdiction in which such Collateral is located. THE BORROWER, PARENT, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. 
 Section
10.23        Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
the Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, insurers, insurance brokers, settlement service providers and other representatives on a
“need to know basis” (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) solely in connection with the
transactions contemplated or permitted hereby; provided that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, shall be responsible for their respective Affiliates’ compliance with this clause, (b) to the extent
requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Person (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization) or any nationally recognized rating agency
that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender (provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to
preserve the confidentiality of any confidential Information relating to the Loan Parties), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that, unless specifically
prohibited by Applicable Law or court order, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in advance of any such disclosure, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions not less
restrictive than those of this Section 10.23, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, to
the extent that the list of Prohibited Lenders is made available to all Lenders, the “Information” for purposes of this clause (f)(i) shall include the list of Prohibited Lenders) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any Hedge Agreement relating to Parent or the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Parent or the Borrower, (h) (x) to any rating agency in connection with rating Parent or its Subsidiaries or (y) the
CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the facility evidenced by this Agreement (if applicable), (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.23 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Parent or the
Borrower, (j) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense and (k) to the extent that such information is independently developed, so long as not based on information obtained in a manner that would otherwise violate
this Section 10.23. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and customary 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 Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extension; provided that such Person is advised of and agrees to be
bound by the provisions of this Section 10.23. For purposes of this Section 10.23, “Information” means all information received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, from Parent or any of
its Subsidiaries relating to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses (including any target company and its Subsidiaries in connection with contemplated or 

  
 -90- 








 
consummated Acquisition or other investment), other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Parent
or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.23 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of
care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree not to disclose any Information to a Prohibited
Lender. 
 Section 10.24        No Fiduciary Relationship. Parent and the Borrower each
acknowledges and agrees that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s length commercial transactions between the Agents and
the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) the Agents and the Lenders have not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Loan
Parties, the Loan Parties’ equity holders or the Loan Parties’ Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of
whether such Agent and/or Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Loan Parties, the Loan Parties’ equity holders or the Loan Parties’ Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Loan Parties except the
obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) such Agent and/or Lender is acting solely as a principal and not as a fiduciary of the Loan Parties, the Loan Parties’ management, equity holders,
Affiliates, creditors or any other Person or their respective Affiliates. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with the economic interests of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, their stockholders
and/or their Affiliates. 
 Section 10.25        Platform; Borrower Materials. 

(a)         Parent and the Borrower each hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative
Agent and/or the Joint Lead Arrangers will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of Parent and the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower
Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”), and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information
(within the meaning of the United States federal and state securities laws) with respect to Parent or the Borrower or their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Parent and the
Borrower each hereby agrees that it will identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which,
at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated
“Public Investor” and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform
not designated “Public Investor.” THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ITS RELATED PARTIES AND THE JOINT LEAD ARRANGERS DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE
BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY OR ITS RELATED PARTIES OR ANY JOINT LEAD ARRANGER IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR
THE PLATFORM. 
 (b)         Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including
requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by Parent, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material
non-public information. Each Lender represents to the Borrower, Parent and the Administrative Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle material non-public
information in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information 

  
 -91- 








 
that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws. 

Section 10.26        Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan
Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a)         the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to
any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b)
        the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 

(i)         a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(ii)         a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other
instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of
any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 

(iii)         the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the
exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 
 Section
10.27        Borrower Assumption. Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.10 to the contrary, the parties hereto hereby agree that the Initial Borrower may assign and transfer all of its rights and
Obligations under the Loan Documents to a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Initial Borrower with the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender party on the Closing Date to this Agreement (any such Subsidiary, the “Assumed
Borrower”). In connection with any such assignment, (a) the Initial Borrower shall assign to the Assumed Borrower, and the Assumed Borrower shall assume all of the obligations and liabilities (including the Obligations) and all rights
of the Initial Borrower as “Borrower” under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the Assumed Borrower shall become a party to this Agreement as the “Borrower” with the same force and effect as if originally named
herein as Borrower and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities (including the Obligations) and rights of the Initial Borrower hereunder, (c) the Assumed Borrower shall be bound
by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (d) each reference to the “Borrower” in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to the Assumed Borrower, (e) the Assumed Borrower shall be
liable under this Agreement for payment of all Obligations, (f) the Initial Borrower shall be released from its obligations and liabilities (including the Obligations) under the Loan Documents and have no further rights, obligations or
liabilities (including the Obligations) under the Loan Documents and (g) all of the security interests, Mortgages, Liens and pledges in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under each of the Loan Documents, and
all guarantees of the Guarantors under each of the Loan Documents, in each case shall be automatically terminated and released (clauses (a) through (g), the “Assumption”). Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the
contrary, the Assumption shall be immediately effective upon the execution and delivery of an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Lender party on the Closing Date to this Agreement by the
parties thereto to the Administrative Agent and the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness set forth therein.

 Exhibit E 

SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE 

May 12, 2016 
 This SOLVENCY
CERTIFICATE (this “Certificate”) is delivered in connection with that certain Bridge Loan Agreement dated as of May 12, 2016 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated, replaced, or otherwise modified from time to
time, the “Bridge Loan Agreement”) among Western Digital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Western Digital Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Borrower”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders and the other parties thereto. Capitalized terms used herein without
definition have the same meanings as in the Bridge Loan Agreement. 
 I am familiar with the finances, properties, business and assets of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and have made such investigation and inquiries as I have deemed necessary and prudent to provide this Certificate. In my capacity as a Responsible Officer of Company (as defined below), and not in my individual or
personal capacity, I believe that: 
 1.         Company (as used herein
“Company” means the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) is (and will be after the incurrence of the obligations under the Bridge Loan Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions on the Closing Date, on a
pro forma basis) “solvent” as defined in this paragraph; in this context, “solvent” means that (i) the fair value of assets of the Company is more than the existing debts of the Company as they become absolute and matured,
(ii) the present fair saleable value of assets of the Company is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability on existing debts of the Company as they become absolute and matured and (iii) the Company is able
to meet its debts as they generally become due. The term “debts” as used in this Certificate includes any legal liability, whether matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute, fixed or contingent and “values of
assets” shall mean the amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible) in their entirety would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable
knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under compulsion to act. For the purposes hereof, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that would reasonably be expected to become an actual and
matured liability. 
 2.         The incurrence of the obligations under the Bridge
Loan Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions on the Closing Date, on a pro forma basis, will not leave Company with property remaining in its hands constituting “unreasonably small capital.” I understand that “unreasonably
small capital” depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on my current assumptions regarding the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the
businesses conducted or anticipated to be conducted by Company in light of projected financial statements and available credit capacity, which current assumption I do not believe to be unreasonable in light of the circumstances applicable thereto.

 I represent the foregoing information is provided to the best of my knowledge and belief and
execute this Certificate as of the date first above written.

(a) any and all indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Debtors, and of any of them individually, to the Secured Parties, and to any of them individually, under or in connection with or evidenced by the Bridge Loan Agreement or any

in collecting or enforcing any of such indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities or in realizing on or protecting or preserving any security therefor, including, without limitation, the lien and security interest granted hereby (all of the
indebtedness, obligations, liabilities, expenses, and charges described above being hereinafter referred to as the “Secured Obligations”).

Section 4.       
  Covenants, Agreements, Representations and Warranties. (a) Each Debtor hereby represents and warrants to the Secured Parties that: 

(i)         Each Debtor is duly organized and validly existing in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each Debtor is the sole and lawful owner of its Collateral, and has full right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform each and all of the matters and
things herein provided for. 
 (ii)         As of the Closing Date,
each Debtor’s respective sole place of business or chief executive office, as applicable, is at the address listed on Schedule 1(a) to the Perfection Certificate opposite such Debtor’s name. 

(iii)         As of the Closing Date, each Debtor’s legal name
and jurisdiction of organization are correctly set forth on Schedule 1(a) to the Perfection Certificate. As of the Closing Date, no Debtor has transacted business at any time since February 1, 2011, and does not currently transact business,
under any other legal names other than the prior legal names set forth on Schedule 1(b) to the Perfection Certificate or the other names set forth on Schedule 1(c) to the Perfection Certificate. 

(iv)         As of the Closing Date, Schedule 6 to the
Perfection Certificate contains a true, complete, and current listing of all material patents, trademarks and copyrights owned by each of the Debtors as of the date hereof that are registered or the subject of a pending application with any United
States federal governmental authority, and exclusive licenses of copyrights to which a Debtor is a party, other than to the extent the same constitutes Excluded Property. As of the date thirty (30) days after the Closing Date (or fifteen
(15) days for copyrights), the supplement to Schedule 6 to the Perfection Certificate to be provided by the Borrower will set forth a true, complete and current listing of any other patents, trademarks or copyrights owned by each of the Debtors
as of the Closing Date that are registered or the subject of a pending application with any United States federal governmental authority, and exclusive licenses of copyrights to which a Debtor is a party, other than to the extent the same
constitutes Excluded Property, and other than any patent, trademark or copyright or exclusive copyright license where the Borrower has filed or caused to be filed an applicable Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the United States Patent
and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office promptly after the Collateral Agent provides the Borrower with written notice identifying such patent, trademark or copyright or exclusive copyright license with respect to the corresponding
requirement under this Agreement or the Bridge Loan Agreement or the Borrower provides the Collateral Agent with written notice identifying such patent, trademark or copyright or exclusive copyright license, to the extent such Intellectual Property
Security Agreement filing preserves, confirms and perfects the security interest granted herein (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement). 

(v)         As of the Closing Date, Schedule 7 to the Perfection
Certificate contains a true and correct list of all Commercial Tort Claims (i) with a projected value (as reasonably estimated by the Borrower) in excess of $30.0 million individually held by the Debtors as of the date hereof and (ii) for
which a complaint has been filed in a court of competent jurisdiction. 

(b)         Each Debtor hereby covenants and agrees with the Secured
Parties that: 

  
 Exh. I-5 








 (i)         Each Debtor
shall provide the Collateral Agent written notice of a change of the location of such Debtor’s chief executive office within sixty (60) days of such change or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may agree. 

(ii)         Upon any change to the legal name or jurisdiction of
organization of any Debtor the applicable Debtor shall provide written notice thereof to the Collateral Agent within sixty (60) days after the occurrence thereof or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may agree. Each Debtor agrees
promptly (and, in any event, within sixty (60) days) following any change referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, to take all action reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to maintain the perfection and priority of the
security interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Collateral, if applicable, and to provide the Collateral Agent with certified organizational documents reflecting any such changes, if applicable. 

(iii)         Each Debtor shall take all commercially reasonable
actions necessary to defend the Collateral against any claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the same or any interest in the Collateral other than a Permitted Lien adverse to any of the Secured Parties. 

(iv)         [Reserved]. 

(v)         Subject to Schedule 6.24 to the Bridge Loan Agreement,
all insurance disclosed on Schedule 8 to the Perfection Certificate, to the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, shall be endorsed or otherwise amended to include a loss payable or mortgagee endorsement (as applicable) to the
Collateral Agent and shall name the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as additional insured, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. Each Debtor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, at the Collateral
Agent’s option, to adjust, compromise, and settle any losses in respect of any Collateral under any insurance afforded at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, and such Debtor does hereby irrevocably
(until the Termination Date) constitute the Collateral Agent, its officers, agents, and attorneys, as such Debtor’s attorneys-in-fact, with full power and authority after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default to
effect such adjustment, compromise, and/or settlement and to endorse any drafts drawn by an insurer of the Collateral or any part thereof and to do everything necessary to carry out such purposes and to receive and receipt for any unearned premiums
due under policies of such insurance. 
 (vi)         At any time
after and during the continuance of any Event of Default, if any Collateral with a value in excess of $1,000,000 is in the possession or control of any agents or processors of a Debtor and the Collateral Agent so requests, such Debtor agrees to
notify such agents or processors in writing of the Collateral Agent’s lien and security interest therein and instruct them to hold all such Collateral for the Collateral Agent’s account and subject to the Collateral Agent’s
instructions. 
 (vii)         At any time after and during the
continuation of any Event of Default, each Debtor agrees from time to time to deliver to the Collateral Agent such evidence of the existence, identity, and location of its Collateral and of its availability as collateral security pursuant hereto
(including, without limitation, schedules describing all Receivables created or acquired by such Debtor, copies of customer invoices or the equivalent and original receipts for all services rendered by it), in each case as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request. At any time after and during the continuation of any Event of De-

  
 Exh. I-6 








 
fault, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to verify all or any part of the Collateral in any manner, and through any medium, which the Collateral Agent considers appropriate and
reasonable, and each Debtor agrees to furnish all reasonable assistance and information, and perform any reasonable acts, which the Collateral Agent may reasonably require in connection herewith. 

(viii)     Upon any new registration, or application for registration, for any
Intellectual Property rights, and exclusive licenses of copyrights, constituting Collateral granted to or filed or acquired by any Debtor after the Closing Date (including any Intellectual Property that is no longer included as Excluded Property)
(collectively, “New IP”), the Debtor shall, on or prior to the later to occur of (i) thirty (30) days for copyrights and sixty (60) days for all other Intellectual Property following such grant, filing or acquisition and
(ii) the date of the next required delivery of the Compliance Certificate following the date of such grant, filing or acquisition (or such longer period as to which the Collateral Agent may consent), submit to the Collateral Agent a supplement
to Schedule 6 to the Perfection Certificate to reflect such additional rights, and execute the applicable Intellectual Property Security Agreement and deliver such Intellectual Property Security Agreement to the Collateral Agent, and shall promptly
file such Intellectual Property Security Agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable. 

(ix)         If any Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire a
Commercial Tort Claim with a projected value (as reasonably estimated by the Borrower) equal to or in excess of $30.0 million individually for which a complaint has been filed in a court of competent jurisdiction and that is required to be pledged
hereunder, the Debtor shall, on or prior to the later to occur of (i) sixty (60) days following such acquisition and (ii) the date of the next required delivery of the Compliance Certificate following the date of such acquisition (or
such longer period as to which the Collateral Agent may consent), execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a supplement to Schedule 7 to the Perfection Certificate in such form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and the provisions of
Section 2 of this Agreement shall apply to such Commercial Tort Claim (provided any Debtor’s failure to do so shall not impair the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein). 

(x)         Each Debtor agrees to execute and deliver to the
Collateral Agent such further agreements, assignments, instruments, and documents, and to do all such other things, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary to assure the Collateral Agent of its lien and security interest hereunder,
including, without limitation, such agreements with respect to patents, trademarks, copyrights, and similar intellectual property rights as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably require to comply with the filing requirements of the
United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office; provided that (a) no action outside of the United States shall be required in order to create or perfect any security interest in any assets located outside of
the United States and no foreign law security or pledge agreement or foreign intellectual property filing or search shall be required (other than the Cayman Share Mortgage and any foreign law governed security or pledge agreement in such other
jurisdictions as required pursuant to Section 4.5 of the Bridge Loan Agreement), (b) no Debtor shall be required to seek any landlord lien waiver, estoppel, warehouseman waiver or other collateral access or similar letter or agreement and
(c) to the extent constituting Collateral, (1) the security interests in assets requiring perfection through control agreements or other control arrangements (other than control of pledged certificated Securities and material Instruments
to the extent otherwise required under this Agreement and the filing 

  
 Exh. I-7 








 
of financing statements), (2) assets subject to certificates of title (other than the filing of financing statements) and (3) Letter-of-Credit Rights (other than the filing of financing
statements) shall not be required to be perfected. In the event for any reason the law of any jurisdiction other than New York becomes or is applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof, or to any of the Secured Obligations, each Debtor agrees
to execute and deliver all such agreements, assignments, instruments, and documents and to do all such other things as the Collateral Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, and enforce the security interest of the
Collateral Agent under the law of such other jurisdiction, subject to the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of this clause (x). Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statement that describes the Collateral as “all assets” or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within
the scope of Article 9 of the UCC. Each Debtor hereby further authorizes the Collateral Agent to file the Intellectual Property Security Agreements, or other instrument to perfect, confirm, continue, protect or enforce the security interest granted
hereunder, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office), as applicable, without the signature of such Debtor, and naming such Debtor as a debtor and naming the Collateral Agent as
secured party. 
 (xi)         If an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may, at its option, but only following ten (10) Business Days’ written notice to each Debtor of its intent to do so, expend such sums as the Collateral Agent reasonably deems advisable to perform the
obligations of the Debtors with respect to the Collateral under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent that any Debtor fails to do so, including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes,
Liens and encumbrances that do not constitute Permitted Liens, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claims that do not constitute Permitted Liens, and all other expenditures which the Collateral Agent may be compelled to make by
operation of law or which the Collateral Agent may make by agreement or otherwise for the protection of the security hereof that do not constitute Permitted Liens. All such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Debtors within thirty
(30) days after demand, shall constitute additional Secured Obligations secured hereunder, and shall bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of
days elapsed) equal to 2% plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans (such rate per annum as so determined being hereinafter referred to as the “Default Rate”). No such performance of any
obligation by the Collateral Agent on behalf of a Debtor, and no such advancement or expenditure therefor, shall relieve any Debtor of any default under the terms of this Agreement or in any way obligate any Secured Party to take any further or
future action with respect thereto. The Collateral Agent, in making any payment hereby authorized, may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without
inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim. The Collateral Agent, in performing any act hereunder, shall be the sole judge of whether the
relevant Debtor is required to perform the same under the terms of this Agreement. 
 Section 5.         Special Provisions Re: Receivables. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if any
Receivable arises out of a contract with the United States of America, or any state or political subdivision thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality of any of 

  
 Exh. I-8 








 
the foregoing, each Debtor agrees to provide information promptly upon the request of the Collateral Agent and, at the request of the Collateral Agent, execute whatever instruments and documents
are reasonably required by the Collateral Agent in order that such Receivable shall be assigned to the Collateral Agent and that proper notice of such assignment shall be given under the federal Assignment of Claims Act (or any successor statute) or
any similar state or local statute, as the case may be. 

(b)         If any Debtor shall at any time after the Closing Date
hold or acquire any Instrument or Chattel Paper evidencing any Receivable or other item of Collateral (including Intercompany Notes but other than any checks received and deposited in the ordinary course of business), the Debtor shall, on or prior
to the later to occur of (i) sixty (60) days following such acquisition and (ii) the date of the next required delivery of the Compliance Certificate following the date of such acquisition (or such longer period as to which the
Collateral Agent may consent), cause such Instrument or tangible Chattel Paper to be delivered to the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a Debtor shall not be required to
deliver any such Instrument or tangible Chattel Paper if and only so long as the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such Instruments and tangible Chattel Paper held by the Debtors and not delivered to the Collateral Agent hereunder is less
than $30.0 million at any one time outstanding. 

Section 6.
        Collection of Receivables. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Debtor shall make collection of its Receivables and may use the same to carry on its business in accordance
with its ordinary business practices and otherwise subject to the terms hereof. 

(b)         Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, whether or not the Collateral Agent has exercised any of its other rights under other provisions of this Section 6, in the event the Collateral Agent makes a written request for any Debtor to do so: 

(i)         all Instruments and tangible Chattel Paper at any time
constituting part of the Receivables (including any postdated checks but other than any checks received and deposited in the ordinary course of business) shall, upon receipt by such Debtor, be promptly endorsed to and deposited with Collateral
Agent; and/or 
 (ii)         such Debtor shall instruct all
customers and account debtors to remit all payments in respect of Receivables or any other Collateral to a lockbox or lockboxes under the sole custody and control of the Collateral Agent and which are maintained at one or more post offices selected
by the Collateral Agent. 
 (c)         Upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of any Event of Default, whether or not the Collateral Agent has exercised any of its other rights under the other provisions of this Section 6, the Collateral Agent or its designee may notify the relevant Debtor’s
customers and account debtors at any time that Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Agent or of the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein, and either in its own name, or such Debtor’s name, or both, demand, collect
(including, without limitation, through a lockbox analogous to that described in Section 6(b)(ii) hereof), receive, receipt for, sue for, compound and give acquittance for any or all amounts due or to become due on Receivables, and in the
Collateral Agent’s reasonable discretion file any claim or take any other action or proceeding which the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary to protect and realize upon the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Receivables
or any other Collateral. 
 (d)         Any proceeds of Receivables
or other Collateral transmitted to or otherwise received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to any of the provisions of Sections 6(b) or 6(c) hereof may be handled and administered by the Collateral Agent in and through a remittance account or


  
 Exh. I-9 








 
accounts maintained at the Collateral Agent or by the Collateral Agent at a commercial bank or banks selected by the Collateral Agent with reasonable care (collectively the “Depositary
Banks” and individually a “Depositary Bank”), and each Debtor acknowledges that the maintenance of such remittance accounts by the Collateral Agent is solely for the Collateral Agent’s convenience. The Collateral Agent
may, after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, apply all or any part of any proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral received by it from any source to the payment of the Secured Obligations (whether or not then due
and payable), such applications to be made pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Loan Agreement, and at such intervals as the Collateral Agent may from time to time in its discretion determine. The Collateral Agent need not apply or give credit for
any item included in proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral until the Depositary Bank has received final payment therefor at its office in cash or final solvent credits current at the site of deposit reasonably acceptable to the Collateral
Agent and the Depositary Bank as such. However, if the Collateral Agent does permit credit to be given for any item prior to a Depositary Bank receiving final payment therefor and such Depositary Bank fails to receive such final payment or an item
is charged back to the Collateral Agent or any Depositary Bank for any reason, the Collateral Agent may at its election in either instance charge the amount of such item back against any such remittance accounts. After all Events of Default have
been cured or waived, the Collateral Agent shall promptly return to the applicable Debtor all proceeds of Collateral which the Collateral Agent has not applied to the Secured Obligations as provided above from the remittance account, as well as all
Instruments and tangible Chattel Paper delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Secured Party shall be obligated to refund and return any and all amounts paid by any Debtor to
such Secured Party for fees, expenses or damages to the extent such Secured Party is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof. The Secured Parties shall have no liability or responsibility to any Debtor for the
Collateral Agent or any Depositary Bank accepting any check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement whatsoever or be
responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance. 

Section 7.
        Special Provisions Re: Investment Property and Deposits. (a) Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given the Debtors at least
three (3) Business Days’ notice of its intent to exercise its rights under this Agreement: 

(i)         each Debtor shall be entitled to exercise all voting
and/or consensual powers pertaining to its Investment Property, or any part thereof, for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Bridge Loan Agreement or any other document evidencing or otherwise relating to any Secured
Obligations; and 
 (ii)         each Debtor shall be entitled to
receive and retain all cash dividends paid upon or in respect of its Investment Property subject to the lien and security interest of this Agreement. 

(b)         As of the Closing Date, all (i) Equity Interests in a
Subsidiary held, beneficially or of record, by each Debtor, (ii) Equity Interests in an Affiliate held, beneficially or of record, by each Debtor that represent 50% or less of Equity Interests of such Affiliate, (iii) securities accounts
in the name of a Debtor and (iv) commodity accounts in the name of a Debtor, in each case, that constitute Collateral are listed and identified on Schedule 4 to the Perfection Certificate and made a part hereof. If any Debtor shall at any time
after the Closing Date, hold or acquire any other Investment Property constituting Collateral, the Debtor shall, on or prior to the later to occur of (i) sixty (60) days following such acquisition and (ii) the date of the next
required delivery of the Compliance Certificate following the date of such acquisition (or such longer period as 

  
 Exh. I-10 








 
to which the Collateral Agent may consent), deliver to the Collateral Agent certificates for all certificated securities constituting Investment Property and part of the Collateral hereunder
(other than any certificated securities issued by a Person that is not an Affiliate), all duly endorsed in blank for transfer or accompanied by an appropriate assignment or assignments or an appropriate undated stock power or powers, in every case
sufficient to transfer title thereto, including, without limitation, all stock received in respect of a stock dividend or resulting from a split-up, revision or reclassification of the Investment Property or any part thereof or received in addition
to, in substitution of or in exchange for the Investment Property or any part thereof as a result of a merger, consolidation or otherwise. With respect to any uncertificated securities or any Investment Property held by a securities intermediary,
commodity intermediary, or other financial intermediary of any kind, at the Collateral Agent’s request after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (or at any time with respect to uncertificated securities or
Investment Property issued by any Guarantor to Borrower or another Guarantor), the relevant Debtor shall execute and deliver, and shall cause any such issuer or intermediary to execute and deliver, an agreement among such Debtor, the Collateral
Agent, and such issuer or intermediary in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent which provides, among other things, for the issuer’s or intermediary’s agreement that it will comply with such entitlement orders,
and apply any value distributed on account of any Investment Property, as directed by the Collateral Agent without further consent by such Debtor. The Collateral Agent may, upon three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Debtors at any
time after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, cause to be transferred into its name or the name of its nominee or nominees any and all of the Investment Property hereunder. 

(c)         [Reserved]. 

Section 8.
        Power of Attorney. In addition to any other powers of attorney contained herein, each Debtor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent, its nominee, or any other person whom the Collateral Agent may
reasonably designate as such Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default to sign such Debtor’s name on verifications of Receivables and other Collateral;
to send requests for verification of Collateral to such Debtor’s customers, account debtors, and other obligors; to endorse such Debtor’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts, and any other forms of payment or
security that may come into the Collateral Agent’s possession; to endorse the Collateral in blank or to the order of the Collateral Agent or its nominee; and to sign such Debtor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any
Collateral, on claims to enforce collection of any Collateral, on notices to and drafts against customers and account debtors and other obligors, on schedules and assignments of Collateral, on notices of assignment and on public records; to notify
the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Debtor’s mail to an address designated by the Collateral Agent; to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Debtor; and to do all things reasonably necessary
to carry out this Agreement. Each Debtor hereby ratifies and approves all acts of any such attorney and agrees that neither the Collateral Agent nor any such attorney will be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake
of fact or law other than such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement. The foregoing powers of attorney, being coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until the Termination Date. 

Section 9.
        Defaults and Remedies. (a) The occurrence of any event or the existence of any condition, after giving effect to any applicable notice, grace or cure provision pursuant to the Bridge Loan
Agreement, specified as an “Event of Default” under the Bridge Loan Agreement shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder. 

(b)         Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any
Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have, in addition to all other rights provided herein or by law, the rights 

  
 Exh. I-11 








 
and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights or remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to
the affected Collateral), and further the Collateral Agent may, without demand and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without advertisement, notice, hearing or process of law, all of which each Debtor hereby waives to the extent permitted
by applicable law, at any time or times, sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver, or acquire by credit bid on behalf of the Lenders any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private
sale, at any securities exchange or broker’s board or at the Collateral Agent’s office or elsewhere, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Collateral Agent deems advisable, in its reasonable
discretion. In the exercise of any such remedies, the Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral as a unit even though the sales price thereof may be in excess of the amount remaining unpaid on the Secured Obligations. Also, if less than all the
Collateral is sold, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to marshal or apportion the part of the Collateral so sold as between the Debtors, or any of them, but may sell and deliver any or all of the Collateral without regard to which of the
Debtors are the owners thereof. In addition to all other sums due any Secured Party hereunder, each Debtor shall pay the Secured Parties all costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court
costs (but under no circumstances shall the Debtors be obligated to pay for more than one firm of outside counsel, and no Debtor shall be obligated to pay for any in-house counsel), in obtaining, liquidating or enforcing payment of Collateral or the
Secured Obligations or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding by or against any Secured Party or any Debtor concerning any matter arising out of or connected with this Agreement or the Collateral or the Secured Obligations,
including, without limitation, any of the foregoing arising in, arising under or related to a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any successor statute). Any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is personally
served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Debtors in accordance with Section 14(b) hereof at least ten (10) Business Days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice; provided, however, no
notification need be given to a Debtor if such Debtor has signed, after the Event of Default hereunder that is then continuing has occurred, a statement renouncing any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition. The Collateral Agent
shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. Any Secured Party may be the purchaser at any public sale. Each Debtor hereby waives all of its rights of redemption from any such
sale. The Collateral Agent may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to
which the sale was postponed or the Collateral Agent may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and place. The Collateral Agent has no obligation to prepare the Collateral for sale. The Collateral Agent may sell or otherwise
dispose of the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral or any part thereof, including disclaimers of any warranties of title or the like, and each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the absence of such warranties shall not
render the disposition commercially unreasonable. 
 (c)        
Without in any way limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default hereunder, in addition to all other rights provided herein or by law, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take
physical possession of any and all of the Collateral, the right for that purpose to enter without legal process any premises where the Collateral may be found (provided such entry be done lawfully), and the right to maintain such possession on the
relevant Debtor’s premises or to remove the Collateral or any part thereof to such other places as the Collateral Agent may desire, in each case, subject to the terms of any lease covering the relevant premises, (ii) the Collateral Agent
shall have the right to direct any intermediary at any time holding any Investment Property or other Collateral, or any issuer thereof, 

  
 Exh. I-12 








 
to deliver such Collateral or any part thereof to the Collateral Agent and/or to liquidate such Collateral or any part thereof and deliver the proceeds thereof to the Collateral Agent, and
(iii) each Debtor shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s demand, promptly assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place reasonably designated by the Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent exercises its
right to take possession of the Collateral, each Debtor shall also at its expense perform any and all other steps requested by the Collateral Agent to preserve and protect the security interest hereby granted in the Collateral, such as placing and
maintaining signs indicating the security interest of the Collateral Agent, appointing overseers for the Collateral and maintaining Collateral records. 

(d)         Without in any way limiting the foregoing, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, all rights of the Debtors to exercise the voting and/or consensual powers which they are entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) hereof and/or to receive and retain the
distributions which they are entitled to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) hereof, shall, at the option of the Collateral Agent upon ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to the Debtors, cease and thereupon become
vested in the Collateral Agent, which, in addition to all other rights provided herein or by law, shall then be entitled solely and exclusively to exercise all voting and other consensual powers pertaining to the Investment Property and/or to
receive and retain the distributions which such Debtor would otherwise have been authorized to retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) hereof and shall then be entitled solely and exclusively to exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange
or subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Investment Property as if the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof including, without limitation, the rights to exchange, at its discretion, all Investment
Property or any part thereof upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the respective issuer thereof or upon the exercise by or on behalf of any such issuer or the Collateral Agent of any right,
privilege or option pertaining to any Investment Property and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver the Investment Property or any part thereof with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such
terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine. In the event the Collateral Agent in good faith believes any of the Collateral constitutes restricted securities within the meaning of any applicable securities laws, any disposition
thereof in compliance with such laws shall not render the disposition commercially unreasonable. To the extent that the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (d) has been given, after all Events of Default have been cured
or waived, (i) each Debtor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers that such Debtor would have otherwise been entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 7(a)(i) hereof and
(ii) the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each applicable Debtor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Debtor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii)
hereof and that have not been applied to the repayment of the Secured Obligations. 

(e)         Without in any way limiting the foregoing, each Debtor
hereby grants to the Secured Parties, effective and exercisable solely upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, a royalty-free (and free of any other obligation of payment or
compensation), irrevocable (solely during the continuation of an Event of Default), non-exclusive license and right to use and sublicense (in the ordinary course of business), in connection with any foreclosure or other realization by the Collateral
Agent or the Secured Parties on all or any part of the Collateral to the extent permitted by law and this Agreement, all Intellectual Property Collateral (excluding any rights under a License that by its terms is prohibited from being sublicensed by
Debtor to the Collateral Agent) now owned or hereafter acquired by such Debtor, and wherever the same may be located and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer
software and programs used for the 

  
 Exh. I-13 








 
compilation or printout thereof, the right to prosecute and maintain all such Intellectual Property Collateral and the right to sue for past infringement of such Intellectual Property Collateral.
The license and right granted to the Secured Parties hereby shall be without any royalty or fee or charge whatsoever with respect to fees payable by the Secured Parties to Debtors. 

(f)         The powers conferred upon the Secured Parties hereunder
are solely to protect their interest in the Collateral and shall not impose on them any duty to exercise such powers. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its
possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property, consisting of similar type assets, it being understood, however, that the Collateral Agent shall
have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking any action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have
knowledge of such matters, (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral, or (iii) initiating any action to protect the Collateral or any part thereof against the possibility of a
decline in market value. This Agreement constitutes an assignment of rights only and not an assignment of any duties or obligations of the Debtors in any way related to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or obligation to
discharge any such duty or obligation. Neither any Secured Party nor any party acting as attorney for any Secured Party shall be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than such person’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement. 

(g)         Failure by the Collateral Agent to exercise any right,
remedy or option under this Agreement or any other agreement between any Debtor and the Collateral Agent or provided by law, or delay by the Collateral Agent in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver; and no waiver shall be effective
unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and otherwise complies with the requirements set forth in Section 10.11 of the Bridge Loan Agreement and then only to the extent specifically stated.
The rights and remedies of the Secured Parties under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which any Secured Party may have. 

Section 10.       
  Application of Proceeds. The proceeds and avails of the Collateral at any time received by the Collateral Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default pursuant to any exercise of remedies shall, when
received by the Collateral Agent in cash or its equivalent, be applied by the Collateral Agent in reduction of, or held as collateral security for, the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Loan Agreement. The Debtors shall
remain liable to the Secured Parties for any deficiency. Any surplus remaining after the Termination Date has occurred shall be returned to the Borrower, as agent for the Debtors, or to whomsoever the Collateral Agent reasonably determines is
lawfully entitled thereto. 
 Section 11.
        Continuing Agreement; Release. (a) Subject to Section 9.12 of the Bridge Loan Agreement, this Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and shall remain in full force and
effect until the Termination Date. Upon the Termination Date, the pledge of all Collateral hereunder will terminate and all liens and security interests hereunder shall automatically be released, without delivery of any instrument or performance of
any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Debtors. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 11 or as required by any other provision of this Agreement or the Bridge Loan Agreement,
the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall promptly deliver to the applicable Debtor any Collateral of such Debtor held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder and execute and deliver to any


  
 Exh. I-14 








 
Debtor, at such Debtor’s expense, all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and similar documents that such Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.

 (b)         If the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be directed or permitted
pursuant to Section 9.12 of the Bridge Loan Agreement to release any Lien created hereby upon any Collateral (including any Collateral sold or disposed of by any Debtor in a transaction permitted by the Bridge Loan Agreement (other than a
transfer to another Debtor)), such Collateral shall be automatically released from the Lien created hereby to the extent provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, Section 9.12 of the Bridge Loan Agreement, all
without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to such Collateral shall revert to the Debtors. In connection therewith, the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, at the request and
sole expense of the Borrower, shall execute and deliver to the Borrower all releases or other documents, including, without limitation, UCC termination statements, reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Lien created hereby on such
Collateral. A Debtor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the capital stock of such Debtor shall be so sold or disposed (other than a transfer to another Debtor) or if such Debtor ceases to be a
Restricted Subsidiary or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted under the Bridge Loan Agreement. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 11(b) shall be without
recourse to or representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent. 
 Section 12.         The Collateral Agent. (a) In acting under or by virtue of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to
all the rights, authority, privileges, and immunities provided in the Bridge Loan Agreement, all of which provisions of said Bridge Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9 thereof) are incorporated by reference herein with the
same force and effect as if set forth herein in their entirety. The Collateral Agent hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the Secured Parties or any other holders of the Secured Obligations concerning the perfection of the liens and
security interests granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral. 

(b)         The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to
indemnification and reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Sections 9.6 and 10.13 of the Bridge Loan Agreement as if such sections were set out in full herein and references to “the Administrative Agent” therein
were references to “the Collateral Agent” and references to “the Borrower” therein were references to “each Grantor.” The obligations of the Grantors under this clause shall survive termination of this Agreement. 

Section 13.
        Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right
or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder, are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement shall govern and control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (as defined in the First Priority Intercreditor Agreement) that are Obligations, with respect to Shared Collateral
(as defined in the First Priority Intercreditor Agreement), the requirements of this Agreement to deliver Collateral to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed satisfied by the delivery thereof to the Applicable Authorized Representative (as defined in
the First Priority Intercreditor Agreement) as bailee for the Collateral Agent as provided in the First Priority Intercreditor Agreement; provided that as of the date hereof, the Applicable Authorized Representative is the Collateral Agent.


Section 14.       
  Miscellaneous. (a) This Agreement may only be waived or modified in writing in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.11 of the Bridge Loan Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing lien on and security interest
in the Collateral and shall be binding upon each Debtor, its successors and assigns and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and permitted
assigns; provid-

  
 Exh. I-15 








 
ed, however, that no Debtor may assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, and subject to the provisions of the Bridge Loan Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person subject to the requirements of Section 10.10 of the
Bridge Loan Agreement, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise. 

(b)         All notices and other communications hereunder shall
comply with Section 10.8 of the Bridge Loan Agreement; provided that, the address information for each Debtor shall be that expressed for the Borrower in such Section. 

(c)         Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. All
rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to
all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid or unenforceable. 

(d)         The lien and security interest herein created and provided
for stand as direct and primary security for the Secured Obligations of the Borrower arising under or otherwise relating to the Bridge Loan Agreement as well as for the other Secured Obligations secured hereby. No application of any sums received by
the Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral or any disposition thereof to the reduction of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof shall in any manner entitle any Debtor to any right, title or interest in or to the Secured Obligations or
any collateral or security therefor, whether by subrogation or otherwise, unless and until all Secured Obligations have been fully paid and satisfied and the Termination Date has occurred. Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the lien and
security interest hereby created and provided are absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of any Secured Party or any other holder of any Secured Obligations, and without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien and security interest hereof shall not be impaired by any acceptance by any Secured Party or any other holder of any Secured Obligations of any other security for or guarantors upon any of the
Secured Obligations or by any failure, neglect or omission on the part of any Secured Party or any other holder of any of the Secured Obligations to realize upon or protect any of the Secured Obligations or any collateral or security therefor. The
lien and security interest hereof shall not in any manner be impaired or affected by (and the Secured Parties, without notice to anyone, are hereby authorized to make from time to time) any sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, release,
renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, substitution, exchange, change in, modification or disposition of any of the Secured Obligations or of any collateral or security therefor, or of any guaranty thereof, or of any instrument or agreement
setting forth the terms and conditions pertaining to any of the foregoing. The Secured Parties may at their discretion at any time grant credit to the Borrower without notice to the other Debtors in such amounts and on such terms as the Secured
Parties may elect without in any manner impairing the lien and security interest created and provided for. In order to realize hereon and to exercise the rights granted the Secured Parties hereunder and under applicable law, there shall be no
obligation on the part of any Secured Party or any other holder of any Secured Obligations at any time to first resort for payment to the Borrower or any other Debtor or to any guaranty of the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or to resort
to any other collateral, security, property, liens or any other rights or remedies whatsoever, and the Secured Parties shall have the right to enforce this Agreement against any Debtor or its Collateral irrespective of whether or not


  
 Exh. I-16 








 
other proceedings or steps seeking resort to or realization upon or from any of the foregoing are pending. 

(e)         In the event the Secured Parties shall at any time in
their discretion permit a substitution of Debtors hereunder or a party shall wish to become a Debtor hereunder, such substituted or additional Debtor shall, upon executing an agreement in the form attached hereto as Schedule A, become a party hereto
and be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof to the same extent as though such Debtor had originally executed this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution, in lieu of the Debtor being replaced. Any such agreement shall contain
information as to such Debtor necessary to update Schedules 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 to the Perfection Certificate with respect to it. No such substitution shall be effective absent the written consent of the Collateral Agent nor shall it in any
manner affect the obligations of the other Debtors hereunder. 

(f)         This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by
different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all together one and the same instrument. Delivery of executed counterparts of this Agreement by telecopy or by e-mail of an Adobe portable document format
file (also known as a “PDF” file) shall be effective as originals. Each Debtor acknowledges that this Agreement is and shall be effective upon its execution and delivery by such Debtor to the Collateral Agent, and it shall not be necessary
for the Collateral Agent to execute this Agreement or any other acceptance hereof or otherwise to signify or express its acceptance hereof. 

(g)         No Secured Party (other than the Collateral Agent) shall
have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law in connection with this Agreement for the enforcement of any remedy under or upon this Agreement; it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Secured
Parties (other than the Collateral Agent) shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to enforce any right hereunder, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained by the Collateral Agent in the manner herein
provided and for the benefit of the Secured Parties. 
 (h)        
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED BY AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of any provision hereof. 

(i)         Each Debtor hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York state court sitting in New York City in the borough of Manhattan, for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby. Each Debtor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that
any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient form. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that (i) any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any proceeding relating to this Agreement against any other party hereto or their respective
properties in the courts of any jurisdiction (A) for purposes of enforcing a judgment or (B) in connection with any pending bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding in such jurisdiction or (ii) the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Debtor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction in 

  
 Exh. I-17 








 
connection with exercising remedies against any Collateral in a jurisdiction in which such Collateral is located. EACH DEBTOR AND, BY
ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH SECURED PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 SCHEDULE A 

[FORM OF] ASSUMPTION AND SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY AGREEMENT 

THIS AGREEMENT dated as of this [    ]th day of

Bank”), as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (defined in the Bridge Security Agreement hereinafter identified and defined) (JPMorgan Chase Bank acting as such agent and any successor or successors to JPMorgan Chase Bank in such
capacity being hereinafter referred to as the “Collateral Agent”). 
 PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS 

A.        Western Digital Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the

such parties (the “Existing Debtors”) have granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a lien on and security interest in the Existing Debtors’ Collateral to secure the Secured Obligations. 

B.        All capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the same meaning
herein as such terms have in the Bridge Security Agreement, except that any reference to the term “Debtor” or “Debtors” and any provision of the Bridge Security Agreement providing meaning to such term shall be deemed a reference
to the Existing Debtors and the New Debtors. 
 C.        The Borrower provides each New Debtor with
substantial financial, managerial, administrative, and/or technical support and each New Debtors will benefit, directly and indirectly, from the financial accommodations extended by the Secured Parties to the Borrower. 

NOW, THEREFORE, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration of
financial accommodations given or to be given to the Borrower by the Secured Parties from time to time, each New Debtor hereby agrees as follows: 

1.        Each New Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it shall become a “Debtor” party to
the Bridge Security Agreement effective upon the date of such New Debtor’s execution of this Agreement and the delivery of this Agreement to the Collateral Agent, and that upon such execution and delivery, all references in the Bridge Security
Agreement to the terms “Debtor” or “Debtors” shall be deemed to include such New Debtor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each New Debtor hereby repeats and reaffirms all grants (including the grant of a lien and
security interest), covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties contained in the Bridge Security Agreement as amended hereby, each and all of which are and shall remain applicable to the Collateral from time to time owned by such New
Debtor or in which such New Debtor from time to time has any rights. Without limiting the foregoing, in order to secure payment of the Secured Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising, each New Debtor does hereby grant to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby agrees that the Collateral Agent has and shall continue to have until the Termination Date (as such term is defined in the Bridge Loan Agreement referred to in the Bridge Security
Agreement) for the benefit of the Secured Parties a continuing lien on and security interest in all of such New Debtor’s Collateral, including, without limitation, all of such New Debtor’s Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments, Documents,

 A-1 








 
eral Intangibles, Letter-of-Credit Rights, Supporting Obligations, Deposit Accounts, Investment Property, Inventory, Equipment, Fixtures, Commercial Tort Claims, and all of the other Collateral
other than the Excluded Property, each and all of such granting clauses being incorporated herein by reference with the same force and effect as if set forth herein in their entirety, except that all references in such clauses to the Existing
Debtors or any of them shall be deemed to include references to such New Debtor. Nothing contained herein shall in any manner impair the priority of the liens and security interests heretofore granted in favor of the Collateral Agent under the
Bridge Security Agreement. 
 2.     Schedules 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 to the Perfection Certificate shall be
supplemented by the information set forth on the attached Supplements to each of Schedules 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 to the Perfection Certificate with respect to each New Debtor. 

3.        Each New Debtor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Obligations are secured by
all of the Collateral according to, and otherwise on and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Bridge Security Agreement to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if such New Debtor had originally been one of the Existing
Debtors under the Bridge Security Agreement and had originally executed the same as such an Existing Debtor. 

4.        Except as specifically modified hereby, all of the terms and conditions of the Bridge
Security Agreement shall stand and remain unchanged and in full force and effect. 
 5.        Each
New Debtor agrees to execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and do such further acts and things as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement. 

6.        No reference to this Agreement need be made in the Bridge Security Agreement or in any other
document or instrument making reference to the Bridge Security Agreement, any reference to the Bridge Security Agreement in any of such to be deemed a reference to the Bridge Security Agreement as modified hereby. 

7.        THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,

 Exhibit J

Bridge Guaranty Agreement (this “Guaranty”) is entered into as of
[            ], 2016, by Western Digital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), Western Digital Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Borrower”), and the other parties who have executed this Guaranty (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”; and along with any other parties who execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (as hereinafter identified and
defined) an agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, being herein referred to collectively as the “Guarantors” and individually as a “Guarantor”). 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS 

A.        Parent, Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase Bank”), as
Administrative Agent (JPMorgan Chase Bank in such capacity being referred to herein as the “Administrative Agent”), and the other banks and financial institutions party thereto are parties to a Bridge Loan Agreement dated as of
May 12, 2016 (as extended, renewed, amended, restated, refinanced, replaced, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Bridge Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which JPMorgan Chase Bank and other banks and
financial institutions from time to time party to the Bridge Loan Agreement have provided financial accommodations to the Borrower (JPMorgan Chase Bank, in its individual capacity and such other banks, financial institutions and lenders being
hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Lenders” and individually as a “Lender”). 

B.        The Borrower and one or more of the Guarantors may from time to time be liable to the
Lenders and/or their Affiliates with respect to the Obligations as defined in the Bridge Loan Agreement (the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, together with any Affiliates of the Lenders with respect to the Obligations, as such terms are defined
in the Bridge Loan Agreement, being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Creditors” and individually as a “Guaranteed Creditor”). 

C.        The obligations of the Lenders to extend such credit are conditioned upon, among other
things, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty. 
 D.        The Subsidiary Guarantors are
direct or indirect Subsidiaries of the Parent; and the Parent provides each of the Borrower and the Guarantors with financial, management, administrative, and/or technical support which enables the Borrower and the Guarantors to conduct their
businesses in an orderly and efficient manner in the ordinary course. 
 E.        Each Guarantor
will benefit, directly or indirectly, from credit and other financial accommodations extended by the Guaranteed Creditors to the Borrower. 

F.        The Intercreditor Agreement governs the relative rights and priorities of the First Lien
Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) in respect of the First Lien Security Documents (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) and with respect to certain other matters as described therein. 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

  
 Exh. J-1 








 1.  All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings
herein as such terms have in the Bridge Loan Agreement. 
 2.  Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees
jointly and severally to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors, the due and punctual payment when due of the Obligations whether now existing or hereafter arising (whether or not any proceeding under any
debtor relief law shall have stayed the accrual of collection of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) (and whether arising before or after the filing of a petition in bankruptcy and including all interest accrued
after the petition date), due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and howsoever evidenced, held or acquired (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). In case of failure by the Borrower or the Guarantors punctually to
pay any Guaranteed Obligations, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees to make such payment or to cause such payment to be made punctually as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Borrower or other Guarantors. All payments hereunder by any Guarantor shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars without setoff, counterclaim or other defense or withholding or
deduction of any nature. Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty to the contrary, the right of recovery against a Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its
obligations under this Guaranty subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any comparable provisions of any other applicable law. 

3.  Each Guarantor agrees that, upon demand, such Guarantor will then pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Guaranteed Creditors the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations that is then due (subject to the limitation on the right of recovery from such Guarantor pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2 above) whether or not any one or more of the
other Guarantors shall then or thereafter pay any amount whatsoever in respect to their obligations hereunder. 

4.  (a)  Until the Termination Date, the Guarantors (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to such
Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which any of the Guaranteed Creditors or the Administrative Agent now have or may hereafter have against the Parent, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, and until such time the Guarantors waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Guaranteed Creditors, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent to
secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of the Parent to the Guaranteed Creditors or the Administrative Agent. Should any Guarantor have the right, notwithstanding the foregoing, to
exercise its subrogation rights, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably (A) subordinates any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off that such Guarantor
may have to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Termination Date and (B) waives any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Termination Date. Each Guarantor
acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Administrative Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty,
and that the Administrative Agent, the Guaranteed Creditors and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 4(a). 

  
 Exh. J-2 








 (b)  Each Guarantor agrees that any and all claims of such Guarantor against the
Borrower or any other Guarantor hereunder (each, an “Obligor”) with respect to any “Intercompany Indebtedness” (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations, or against any of its properties shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations until the Termination Date; provided that, as long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, such Guarantor may receive payments of principal and interest from any Obligor with respect to Intercompany Indebtedness to the extent not prohibited by the other terms of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding
any right of any Guarantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any Obligor, all rights, liens and security interests of such Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any other Obligor
shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Guaranteed Creditors, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in those assets. No Guarantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset,
whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until the Termination Date. If all or any part of the assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Obligor,
whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any such Obligor is
dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an “Insolvency Event”), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either
in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any Indebtedness of any Obligor to any Guarantor (“Intercompany Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the
Administrative Agent for application on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or to become due, until the Termination Date. Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the applicable Guarantor upon or
with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness after any Insolvency Event and prior to the satisfaction of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of all financing arrangements pursuant to any Bridge Loan Document among the Borrower and
the Guaranteed Creditors, such Guarantor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors,
in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the
Guarantor as the property of the Guaranteed Creditors. If any such Guarantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any of their
officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same. 
 5.  (a)  To the extent that any Guarantor shall
make a payment under this Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid
by or attributable to such Guarantor if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below)
(as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following the Termination Date, such
Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to
such Guarantor Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance
under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation or contribu-

  
 Exh. J-3 








 
tion which such Guarantor may have under this Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account. 

(b)  Unless the Guarantors have otherwise agreed on a different allocation, as of any date of determination, the “Allocable
Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of
contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made by such other Guarantors as of such date in
a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions. 
 (c)  This Section 5 is intended only to define the relative rights
of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 5 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the
terms of this Guaranty. 
 (d)  The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder
shall constitute assets of the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. 
 (e)  The
rights of the indemnifying Guarantors against other Guarantors under this Section 5 shall be exercisable upon the occurrence of the Termination Date. 

6.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Bridge Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 10.10 thereof,
each Guaranteed Creditor may, without any notice whatsoever to any of the Guarantors, sell, assign, or transfer all of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, or grant participations therein, and in that event each and every immediate and
successive assignee, transferee, or holder of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, shall have the right through the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 18 hereof to enforce this Guaranty, by suit or otherwise, for the benefit of
such assignee, transferee, holder or participant, as fully as if such assignee, transferee, or holder or participant were herein by name specifically given such rights, powers and benefits; but each Guaranteed Creditor through the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 18 hereof shall have an unimpaired right to enforce this Guaranty for its own benefit or any such participant, as to so much of the Guaranteed Obligations that it has not sold, assigned or transferred. 

7.  Subject to Section 9.12 of the Bridge Loan Agreement, this Guaranty is a continuing, absolute and unconditional Guaranty,
and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date has occurred. The Guaranteed Creditors may at any time or from time to time release any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder or effect any compromise with any Guarantor and no
such release or compromise shall in any manner impair or otherwise affect the obligations hereunder of the other Guarantors. No release, compromise, or discharge of any one or more of the Guarantors shall release, compromise or discharge the
obligations of the other Guarantors hereunder. 
 8.  In case of the dissolution, liquidation or insolvency (howsoever evidenced)
of, or the institution of bankruptcy or receivership proceedings against the Borrower or any Guarantor, in each case, that would permit or cause the acceleration of the indebtedness under the Bridge Loan Agreement, all of the Guaranteed Obligations
which are then existing may be declared by the Administrative Agent immediately due or accrued and payable from the Guarantors at such time as the obligations are accelerated. 

9.  Subject to Sections 9.12 of the Bridge Loan Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of
each of the Guarantors hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute 

  
 Exh. J-4 








 
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by: 

(a)  any extension, renewal, settlement, indulgence, compromise, waiver or release of or with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether (in any such case) by operation of law or otherwise, or any failure
or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

(b)  any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Bridge Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document,
including, without limitation, any such amendment which may increase the amount of, or the interest rates applicable to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby; 

(c)  any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without
consideration, of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any nonperfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Obligations; 

(d)  any change in the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence, structure or ownership
of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any of their
respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

(e)  the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantors may have at any time against the
Borrower, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Guaranteed Creditor or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in connection with any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein
shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; 
 (f)  the
enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof,
or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related to the Bridge Loan Agreement or any provision of applicable law, decree, order or
regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligation or otherwise affecting any term any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

(g)  the failure of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any
security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any: 

(h)  the election by, or on behalf of, any one or more of the Guaranteed Creditors, in any proceeding instituted
under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. 

  
 Exh. J-5 








 
101 et seq.) (or any successor statute, the “Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; 

(i)  any borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Borrower, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364
of the Bankruptcy Code; 
 (j)  the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any
portion of the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors or the Administrative Agent for repayment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

(k)  the failure of any other guarantor to sign or become party to this Guaranty or any amendment, change, or
reaffirmation hereof; or 
 (l)  any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any other
guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Guaranteed Creditor or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever (other than payment in full of the Obligations) which might, but for the provisions of this
Section 9, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or otherwise reduce, release, prejudice or extinguish its liability under this Guaranty. 

10.  In the event the Guaranteed Creditors shall at any time in their discretion permit a substitution of Guarantors hereunder, a
party shall wish to become Guarantor hereunder or a party is required to become a Guarantor hereunder pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Bridge Loan Agreement, such substituted or additional Guarantor shall, upon executing an agreement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A, become a party hereto and be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof to the same extent as though such Guarantor had originally executed this Guaranty and in the case of a substitution, in lieu of the
Guarantor being replaced. No such substitution shall be effective absent the written consent delivered in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Loan Agreement, nor shall it in any manner affect the obligations of the other Guarantors hereunder.

 11.  (a)  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives acceptance
hereof, presentment, demand or action on delinquency, protest and any notice not provided for herein or under the other Loan Documents, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, any other
guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person. 
 (b)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of
the Guarantors hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: 

(i)  any right it may have to revoke this Guaranty as to future Indebtedness or notice of acceptance hereof; 

(ii)  (1)  notice of acceptance hereof; (2) notice of any Loans or other financial accommodations
made or extended under the Loan Documents or the creation or existence of any Guaranteed Obligations; (3) notice of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject, however, to each Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of the Administrative
Agent and the Guaranteed Creditors to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time; (4) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such
Guarantor’s risk hereunder; (5) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instruments among the Loan Documents; (6) notice of any Default or 

  
 Exh. J-6 








 
Event of Default; and (7) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such Guarantor hereunder or under the Loan Documents) and demands to which each
Guarantor might otherwise be entitled; 
 (iii)  its right, if any, to require the Collateral Agent, the
Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors has or may have against, the other
Guarantors or any third party, or against any Collateral provided by the other Guarantors, or any third party; and each Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than a defense of payment or
performance or the defense that the Termination Date has occurred) of the other Guarantors or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Guarantors in respect thereof; 

(iv)  (a)  any rights to assert against the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors any
defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against the other Guarantors or any other party liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors (other
than a defense of payment or performance or the defense that the Termination Date has occurred); (b) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of
perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; (c) any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance or the defense that the Termination Date has occurred) such Guarantor
has to performance hereunder, and any right such Guarantor has to be exonerated, arising by reason of: the impairment or suspension of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Guaranteed Creditors’ rights or remedies against the other
Guarantors; the alteration by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors of the Guaranteed Obligations; any discharge of the other Guarantor’s obligations to the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors by
operation of law as a result of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Guaranteed Creditors’ intervention or omission; or the acceptance by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors of anything in partial satisfaction
of the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) [reserved]; and (e) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any other defense of waiver, release, discharge in bankruptcy, res judicata, statue of frauds, anti-deficiency statute, incapacity,
minority, usury, illegality or unenforceability which may be available to the Borrower or any other person liable in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; and 

(v)  any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (a) any claim or defense based upon an election of
remedies by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors; or (b) any election by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors under the Bankruptcy Code, to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim
against the Guarantors. 
 (c)  Subject to the last sentence of Section 2 above, the Guarantors agree that the Guarantors
shall be and remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency remaining after foreclosure or other realization on any lien or security interest securing the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not the liability of the Borrower or any other
obligor for such deficiency is discharged pursuant to statute or judicial decision. 
 12.  No failure or delay by the
Administrative Agent or any Guaranteed Creditor in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power
or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Guaranty, the Bridge Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 

  
 Exh. J-7 








 13.  If any payment applied by the Guaranteed Creditors to the Guaranteed Obligations
is thereafter set aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Borrower or any other obligor), the Guaranteed Obligations to which such
payment was applied shall for the purposes of this Guaranty be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and this Guaranty shall be enforceable as to such of the Guaranteed Obligations as fully as if such application
had never been made. 
 14.  Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Guaranteed Creditors that as of the date hereof: 

(a)  (i)  Such Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, except to the extent the failure of any Guarantor to be in existence and good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) has the power and authority to own its property
and to transact the business in which it is engaged and proposes to engage, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) is duly qualified and in good standing in each
jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except, in each case, under this clause (iii) where the same could not reasonably be expected to have, either
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b)  Such Guarantor has the power and authority to
enter into this Guaranty, to guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations and to perform all of its obligations under this Guaranty. 

(c)  The Guaranty has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by such Guarantor and constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general
principles of equity (regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

(d)  This Guaranty does not, nor does the performance or observance by such Guarantor of any of the matters and
things herein provided for, (i) violate any provision of law or any judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon such Guarantor, (ii) contravene or constitute a default under any provision of the organizational documents (e.g.,
charter, articles of incorporation or by-laws, articles of association or operating agreement, partnership agreement or other similar document) of such Guarantor, (iii) contravene or constitute a default
under any covenant, indenture or agreement of or affecting such Guarantor or any of its Property or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Property of such Guarantor other than the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to any Loan Document and Permitted Liens, except with respect to clauses (i), (iii) and (iv), to the extent, individually or in the aggregate, that such violation, contravention, breach, conflict, default or creation or imposition of
any Lien could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (e)  From and after the date
of execution of this Agreement or any agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A by any Guarantor and continuing until the Termination Date or until such Guarantor is earlier released from its obligations hereunder in accordance with
Section 6 hereof, such Guarantor agrees to perform and observe, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform and observe, all of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth in Article VI of the Bridge Loan Agreement on its or their part to
be performed or observed or that the Borrower has agreed to cause such Guarantor or such Subsidiaries to perform or observe. 

  
 Exh. J-8 








 15.  The liability of the Guarantors under this Guaranty is in addition to and shall
be cumulative with all other liabilities of the Guarantors after the date hereof to the Guaranteed Creditors as a Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating
such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. 
 16.  Any provision of this Guaranty which is unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. All
rights, remedies and powers provided in this Guaranty may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Guaranty are intended to be subject to
all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Guaranty invalid or unenforceable. 

17.  Any demand for payment on this Guaranty or any other notice required or desired to be given hereunder to any Guarantor shall
comply with Section 10.8 of the Bridge Loan Agreement; provided that, the address information for each Guarantor shall be its address or facsimile number set forth below, or such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter
specify by notice to the Administrative Agent given by courier, United States certified or registered mail, by facsimile, by email transmission or by other telecommunication device capable of creating written record of such notice and its receipt.
Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile, when such facsimile is transmitted to the facsimile number specified in this Section 17 and a confirmation of such telecopy has been received by
the sender, (ii) if given by mail, five days after such communication is deposited in the mail, certified or registered with return receipt requested, addressed as aforesaid, (iii) if by email, when delivered (all such notices and
communications sent by email shall be deemed delivered upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return email or other written
acknowledgement)), or (iv) if given by any other means, when delivered at the addresses specified in this Section.

more of the Guaranteed Creditors (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to enforce any right hereunder, and that all proceedings at law or in equity

19.  THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED BY AND INTERPRETED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. This Guaranty may only be waived or modified in writing in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.11 of the Bridge Loan Agreement. This Guaranty and every part thereof shall be
effective as to each Guarantor upon its execution and delivery by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, without further act, condition or acceptance by the Guaranteed Creditors, shall be binding upon such Guarantors and upon the legal

20.  Each Guarantor hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City in the borough of Manhattan for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Guarantor irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such court has been brought
in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE GUARANTEED CREDITORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Credit that has been cash collateralized, back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or deemed reissued 

  
 Exh. L-3 








 
under another agreement reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer) or (y) such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived; and 

(iii)        if any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash,
securities or other property (other than Restructured Securities), in respect of this Note shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any Affected Payee in violation of the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), such payment or
distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to the Applicable Authorized Representative on behalf of the applicable First Lien Secured Parties, under the Intercreditor Agreement or the Unsecured Notes
Trustee under the Unsecured Indenture, as applicable. 
 Except as otherwise set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately
preceding paragraph, any Payor is permitted to pay, and any Payee is entitled to receive, any payment or prepayment of principal and interest on the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note. 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no present or future holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in its right to
enforce the subordination of this Note by any act or failure to act on the part of any Affected Payor or Affected Payee or by any act or failure to act on the part of such holder or any trustee or agent for such holder. Each Affected Payee and each
Affected Payor hereby agrees that the subordination of this Note is for the benefit of each Collateral Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the other First Lien Secured Parties and the Unsecured Notes Trustee. Each Collateral Agent (as
defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the other First Lien Secured Parties and the Unsecured Notes Trustee are obligees under this Note to the same extent as if their names were written herein as such and (i) the Applicable Authorized
Representative may, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Secured Parties proceed to enforce the subordination provisions, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, and (ii) the Unsecured Notes Trustee may proceed to enforce the
subordination provisions herein subject to the terms of the Unsecured Indenture. In the event that the Company incurs any Additional First Lien Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all applicable references herein to
(i) the Credit Agreement Obligations, Bridge Obligations and Secured Indenture Obligations, as applicable; (ii) the Credit Agreement, the Bridge Agreement and the Secured Indenture, as applicable; and (iii) the Credit Agreement
Security Documents, the Bridge Security Agreements and the Notes Security Agreements, as applicable, shall be deemed, in each case, to refer to the then outstanding Credit Agreement Obligations, Bridge Obligations and Secured Indenture Obligations,
as applicable, and all related Secured Debt Agreements and First Lien Security Documents, respectively. 
 The Indebtedness evidenced
by this Note owed by any Payor that is not a Loan Party or any Payor that is a Loan Party, in each case, to any Payee that is a Loan Party shall not be subordinated to, and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with, any other obligation
of such Payor.  
 Nothing contained in the subordination provisions set forth above is intended to or will impair, as between each
Payor and each Payee, the obligations of such Payor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to such Payee the principal of and interest on this Note as and when due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or will affect the
relative rights of such Payee and other creditors of such Payor other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness. 
 Each Payee is
hereby authorized (but not required) to record all loans and advances made by it to any Payor (all of which shall be evidenced by this Note), and all repayments or prepayments thereof, in its books and records, such books and records constituting
prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein. For the avoidance of doubt, this Note replaces, but does not affect the principal amount of, any intercompany loan outstanding between any Payor and any Payee prior to
the execu-

  
 Exh. L-4 








 
tion hereof and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, from and after the date hereof, each such intercompany loan shall be deemed to incorporate the terms set forth in this Note to the
extent applicable and shall be deemed to be evidenced by this Note together with any documents and instruments executed prior to the date hereof in connection with such intercompany Indebtedness; provided that any certificated intercompany note
(other than this Note) evidencing Indebtedness owed to any Payee that is a Loan Party, as the same may be assigned, assumed, succeeded, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, that has been delivered to the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent
pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(xiii) of the Credit Agreement on or prior to the Escrow Release Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (each such note, an “Excluded Intercompany Note”) and all loans evidenced by any such Excluded
Intercompany Note and obligations and rights pertaining to such loans shall not be so replaced by this Note and shall remain outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Excluded Intercompany Note and all loans
evidenced thereby and obligations and rights pertaining to such loans shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof, and shall not be affected or modified by the terms of this Note. 

Each Payor hereby waives presentment, demand (unless otherwise agreed upon from time to time by the Payor and the Payee), protest or notice of
any kind in connection with this Note. Each Payor and Payee shall cooperate to exchange any certifications, documentation or other information necessary to reduce or eliminate any taxes required to be withheld with respect to payments under this
Note and, except to the extent of any taxes required by law to be withheld, all payments under this Note shall be made without offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. 

It is understood that this Note shall evidence only Indebtedness and not amounts owing in respect of accounts payable incurred in connection
with goods sold or services rendered in the ordinary course of business and not in connection with the borrowing of money. 
 This Note
shall be binding upon each Payor and its successors and assigns, and the terms and provisions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of each Payee and their respective successors and assigns, including subsequent holders hereof. 

From time to time after the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of the Company may become parties hereto (as Payor and/or Payee, as the case
may be) by executing a counterpart signature page hereto, which shall be automatically incorporated into this Note (each additional Subsidiary, an “Additional Party”). Upon delivery of such counterpart signature page to the Payees,
notice of which is hereby waived by the other Payors, each Additional Party shall be a Payor and/or a Payee, as the case may be, and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Party were an original signatory hereof. Each Payor expressly
agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Payor or Payee hereunder. This Note shall be fully effective as to any Payor or Payee that is or becomes a party hereto
regardless of whether any other person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Payor or Payee hereunder. 
 Any Subsidiary of the
Company that is a party to this Note that ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, Bridge Agreement, Secured Indenture and Unsecured Indenture (the “Former
Subsidiary”) shall be automatically released from the rights and obligations under this Note and the applicable Collateral Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) shall return any signature page to this Note and any note powers,
allonges or instruments of transfer related thereto previously delivered to such Collateral Agent; provided that, at the time of such release, any existing balances between the Former Subsidiary and the remaining parties hereto have been paid
in full or settled.
