B. The Borrowers have notified Agent and Lenders that Quantum has formed New Subsidiary as a wholly-owned Subsidiary on or

C. The Borrowers have requested that Agent and the Lenders make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement as set forth herein,

 AGREEMENT 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

  
 1 













 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall
have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement. 
 2. New Guarantor Joinder. New Guarantor has
indicated its desire to join the Credit Agreement as a Guarantor pursuant to the terms thereof. Accordingly, New Guarantor, Agent, Lenders and the other Loan Parties hereby agree as follows: 

(a) New Guarantor acknowledges and confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the schedules and exhibits
thereto, in each case as amended to date (including by this Amendment). 
 (b) New Guarantor hereby acknowledges, agrees and
confirms that, by its execution of this Amendment, New Guarantor will become a party to the Credit Agreement and a “Guarantor” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the Other Documents, and shall have all of the obligations of a
Guarantor thereunder as if it had originally executed the Credit Agreement and such Other Documents. New Guarantor hereby ratifies, as of the date hereof, and agrees to be bound by, all of the terms, provisions and conditions contained in the Credit
Agreement and in the Other Documents applicable to Guarantors and/or the Loan Parties, including without limitation (i) all of the representations and warranties set forth in Article V of the Credit Agreement, (ii) all of the affirmative
covenants set forth in Article VI of the Credit Agreement, and (iii) all of the negative covenants set forth in Article VII of the Credit Agreement.

severally with each other Guarantor when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by notice of prepayment or otherwise, the due and punctual performance of all Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing, New Guarantor authorizes Agent to
file against it, one or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in form and substance satisfactory to Agent (which statements may have a description of collateral which is broader than that set
forth herein, including without limitation a description of Collateral as “all assets” and/or “all personal property” of such New Guarantor). 

(d) New Guarantor hereby agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon the reasonable request of Agent, it will execute
and deliver such other and further agreements, documents and instruments and do such other further acts and things as Agent may reasonably request in order to effect the purposes of the joinder set forth in this Section 2. In addition,

(iii) sign and endorse notes, (iv) execute and deliver all instruments, documents, applications, security agreements and all other agreements, documents, instruments, certificates, notices and further assurances now or hereafter required
under the 

  
 2 













 
Credit Agreement or the Other Documents, (v) make elections regarding interest rates, and (vi) otherwise take action under and in connection with the Credit Agreement and the Other
Documents, all on behalf of and in the name such Loan Party, and hereby authorizes Agent to pay over or credit all loan proceeds thereunder in accordance with the request of Borrowing Agent.

Governmental Body, all of which will have been duly obtained, made or complied with prior to the date hereof and which are in full force and effect on the date hereof, and (vi) will not conflict with, nor result in any breach in any of the
provisions of or constitute a default under or result in the creation of any Lien except Permitted Encumbrances upon any asset of such Loan Party under the provisions of any material agreement, instrument, or other document to which such Loan Party
is a party or by which it or its property is a party or by which it may be bound, including without limitation the Revolving Loan Documents; 

(e) each Loan Party is duly formed or incorporated, as applicable, and in good standing under the laws of the state of its

(f) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in the Credit Agreement and the Other Documents, each as
amended hereby, are true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) as if made on the
date of this Amendment and after giving effect to this Amendment and the 

  
 4 













 
transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty is made as of an earlier and/or specified date, in which case such representation or warranty shall

specified date; and 
 (g) after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Amendment, on the date of this
Amendment, no Default or Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing. 
 6. Conditions Subsequent. Any
failure by the Loan Parties to comply with the requirements of this Section 6 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default. 

(a) On or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date hereof (or such later date as Agent shall agree
to in writing in its sole discretion), the Loan Parties shall deliver to Agent appropriate loss payable endorsements, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, naming Agent as mortgagee and/or lender loss payee (as applicable) as its interests
may appear with respect to all insurance coverage of the Loan Parties referred to in clauses (i) and (iii) of Section 6.6 of the Credit Agreement, and providing (i) that all proceeds under such policies shall be payable to Agent,
(ii) no such insurance shall be affected by any act or neglect of the insured or owner of the property described in such policy, and (iii) that such policy and loss payable clauses may not be cancelled, amended or terminated unless at

prepared in accordance with GAAP, and in reasonable detail and audited by independent certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to Agent and certified without qualification (except (i) to the extent such qualification solely is due to
the projected, potential or possible failure to comply with any covenant under the Credit Agreement or the Revolving Loan Agreement during the one year period following the date such certification is delivered, or (b) a “going
concern” statement or qualification solely due to the impending maturity of the Obligations and the Revolving Loan Indebtedness), together with a completed Compliance Certificate. 

  
 5 













 (d) Each Loan Party, will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
comply with each of the Milestones (as defined below) set forth in Section 7 on or prior to the applicable date for compliance indicated below with respect to such Milestone. 

7. Repayment Transaction and Related Milestones. The Loan Parties have notified Agent and the Lenders that the Loan
Parties have retained Armory Securities, LLC (the “Investment Banker”) to pursue a refinancing or other transaction that results in the Payment in Full of all of the Obligations and the termination of the Credit Agreement and the
Other Documents pursuant to the terms of a payoff letter reasonably acceptable to Agent (the “Repayment Transaction”) with one or more Potential Repayment Transaction Parties (as defined below). The Loan Parties hereby
(i) authorize the Investment Banker to meet with Agent, Lenders, and each of their respective advisors (in person and telephonically), and provide to Agent such information and reports as Agent may request from time to time, and
(ii) agree, at all times, to (x) continue to retain the Investment Banker for the purpose of effectuating the Repayment Transaction, (y) not interfere with the Investment Banker or with the performance of the Investment Banker’s
responsibilities, and (z) diligently pursue the Repayment Transaction and take all commercially reasonable steps to consummate the Repayment Transaction. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Loan Parties, will, and will cause each of their
Subsidiaries to, comply with each of the milestones (the “Milestones”) set forth below. Failure by the Loan Parties to comply with any Milestone as of the date indicated below therefor (or such later date as Agent agrees to in
writing in its sole discretion) will constitute an immediate Event of Default.

any Potential Repayment Transaction Party in respect of the Repayment Transaction, such financial institution or other third party shall no longer be considered a “Potential Repayment Transaction Party” for purposes of this
Section 7.

Potential Repayment Transaction Party containing Sufficient Terms. 
 8. Reaffirmation. Each Loan Party hereby
ratifies and reaffirms (a) all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under the Credit Agreement and each of the Other Documents to which it is a party, and (b) its grant to Agent of a security interest in the

 (c) no Borrower nor any other Loan Party has any
valid defense to the enforcement of their respective obligations set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Other Documents or this Amendment, as applicable, by reason of any circumstance, action, cause or thing whatsoever which arises at any time on or

(a) Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of (i) the Term A Loan to (x) repay the Indebtedness owing to
Existing Agent and Existing Lenders under the Existing Loan Documents, (y) pay fees and expenses relating to the Transactions, and (z) provide for their working capital needs and other general corporate purposes, <and >(ii) the <Delayed Draw >Term B Loan and the Term C Loan solely

purposes, and (iii) the Delayed Draw Term Loan to provide for their working capital needs and other general corporate
purposes. 
 (b) Without limiting the generality
of Section 2.4(a) above, neither the Loan Parties nor any other Person which may in the future become party to this Agreement or the Other Documents as a Loan Party, intends to use nor shall they use any portion of the proceeds of the Term
Loan, directly or indirectly, for any purpose in violation in any material respect of Applicable Law. 
  

	 III
	 INTEREST AND FEES. 



3.1 Interest. 

(a) From and following the Closing Date, depending upon Borrowers’ election from time to time, subject to
the terms hereof, to have portions of the Loans accrue interest determined by reference to the Prime Rate or the LIBOR Rate, the Loans and the other Obligations shall bear interest at the applicable rates set forth below: 

(i) If a Prime Rate Loan, or any other Obligation other than a LIBOR Rate Loan, then at the sum of the Prime
Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Prime Rate Loans. 
 (ii) If a LIBOR Rate Loan, then at the sum of the
LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans. 
 (b) All interest and fees under this Agreement
and each Other Document shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. The date of funding of a Prime Rate Loan and the first day of an Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be included in
the calculation of interest. The date of payment of a Prime Rate Loan and the last day of an Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be excluded from the calculation of interest. If a Loan is repaid on the same day that it is made,
one (1) days’ interest shall be charged. Interest on all Prime Rate Loans is payable (in cash or PIK Interest, as applicable) in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter and on the maturity of such Loans, whether by
acceleration or otherwise. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable (in cash or PIK Interest, as applicable) on the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless the Interest Period is greater than three (3) months, in which case
interest will be payable on the last day of each three (3) month interval. In addition, interest on LIBOR Rate Loans is due on the maturity of such Loans, whether by acceleration or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, any PIK Interest shall
be compounded on each interest payment date and added to the outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loan and, once paid, shall be treated as principal amount of the Term A Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. Following any such increase in
the principal amount of the Term A Loan, interest will accrue on such increased amount. 

  
 -68- 













 (c) At the election of Agent or Required Lenders, after the
occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as it continues, the Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest at rates that are two percent (2.0%) in excess of the rates otherwise payable under this Agreement. Furthermore, at the
election of Agent or Required Lenders during any period in which any Event of Default is continuing (x) as the Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Loans then in effect expire, such Loans shall be converted into Prime Rate Loans and (y) the
LIBOR election will not be available to Borrowers. 
 3.2 LIBOR Provisions. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1(c) hereof, Borrowing Agent may request that the Term Loan be
made as LIBOR Rate Loans, that outstanding portions of the Term Loan be converted to LIBOR Rate Loans and that all or any portion of a LIBOR Rate Loan be continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan upon expiration of the applicable Interest Period. Any such
request will be made by submitting a Notice of Borrowing to Agent. Upon the expiration of an Interest Period, in the absence of a new Notice of Borrowing submitted to Agent not less than by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) three (3) Business Days prior to
the end of such Interest Period, the LIBOR Rate Loan then maturing shall be automatically converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan with a one month Interest Period. There may be no more than six (6) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time. Loans
which are not requested as LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with this Section 3.2(a) shall be Prime Rate Loans. Agent will promptly notify Lenders, by written notice, of each Notice of Borrowing received by Agent prior to the first day of
the Interest Period of the LIBOR Rate Loan requested thereby. 
 (b) In the event, prior to commencement of
any Interest Period relating to a LIBOR Rate Loan, Agent shall determine in good faith or be notified in good faith and in writing by Required Lenders that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, Agent shall promptly
provide notice of such determination to Borrowing Agent and Lenders (which shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers and Lenders). In such event (1) any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or for a conversion to or continuation of a LIBOR Rate
Loan shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Prime Rate Loan, (2) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating thereto, become a Prime Rate Loan and
(3) the obligations of Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until Agent or Required Lenders determine that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, in which event Agent shall so notify Borrowing Agent and
Lenders. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, if any law, rule, regulation, treaty or
directive or interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make, fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of such circumstances to Agent, Borrowing Agent and the other Lenders. In
such an event, (1) the commitment of such Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans or convert Prime Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be immediately suspended and (2) such Lender’s outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted
automatically to Prime Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period thereof or at such earlier time as may be required by law. 

  
 -69- 













 (d) Upon (i) any failure of any Borrower in making any
borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loan following Borrowing Agent’s delivery to Agent of any applicable Notice of Borrowing (in each case other than any such failure that arises as a result of a Lender failing to
fund such LIBOR Rate Loan or as a result of a notice delivered pursuant to Section 3.8 hereof) or (ii) any payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on any day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (regardless of the source
of such prepayment and whether voluntary, by acceleration or otherwise), Borrowers shall pay Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders that funded or were prepared and required to fund any such LIBOR Rate Loan, an amount equal to the amount of any
losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss (including interest paid) in connection with the re-employment of such funds but excluding any loss of interest rate margin that would have been earned on the repaid amounts)
that any Lender may sustain as a result of such default or such payment. For purposes of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this paragraph, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Rate Loan through the
purchase of a deposit bearing interest at LIBOR in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Rate Loan and having a maturity and repricing characteristics comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each
Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. 

3.3 <Non-Use Fee><><. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of each Lender (other than a
Defaulting Lender) with a Commitment to make Delayed Draw Term Loans, a non-use fee, for the period from the Closing Date to the earlier of (i) Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Completion Date and (ii) the Delayed Draw Term Loan
Commitment Termination Date, in an amount equal to a rate per annum of 0.50% of such Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the Commitment of all Lenders to make the Delayed Draw Term Loans as of such date. Such non-use fee
shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter and on the Maturity Date for any period then ending for which such non-use fee shall not have previously been paid. The non-use fee shall be computed for the actual number
of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days.> 

3.3
 [Reserved]. 

3.4 Fee Letter. Borrowers shall pay the amounts required to be paid in the Fee Letter in the manner and at the times
required by the Fee Letter. 
 3.5 [Reserved]. 

  
 -70- 













 3.6 Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and other
charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under Applicable Law: (i) the interest rates
hereunder will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law; (ii) such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers; and (iii) if then remaining excess amount is greater than the
previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate. 

3.7 Increased Costs. In the event that any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this
Section 3.7, the term “Lender” shall include Agent, any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent or any Lender and the office or branch where Agent or any Lender makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall: 

(a) subject Agent or any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any LIBOR
Rate Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Agent or such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Taxes payable by Agent or such Lender);

 (b) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, compulsory loan, insurance
charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of Agent or any Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System; or 
 (c) impose on Agent or any Lender or the London interbank LIBOR market any
other condition, loss or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Other Document or any Loans made by any Lender; 
 and
the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or any Lender of making, converting to, continuing, renewing or maintaining its Loans hereunder by an amount that Agent or such Lender deems to be material or to reduce the amount
of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Loans by an amount that Agent or such Lender deems to be material, then, in any case Borrowers shall promptly pay Agent or such Lender, upon its demand, such
additional amount as will compensate Agent or such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the LIBOR Rate, as the case may be. Agent
or such Lender shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowing Agent, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Failure or delay on the part of Agent or any Lender to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the right of Agent or any Lender to demand such compensation; provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section for any
reductions in return incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that Agent or such Lender notifies Borrowing Agent of such law, rule, regulation or guideline giving rise to such reductions and of the intention of Agent or such Lender to claim
compensation therefor; provided further that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then the 270 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof. 

  
 -71- 













 3.8 Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the
event that: 
 (a) Agent shall have determined that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR
Rate applicable pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof for any Interest Period; or 
 (b) Agent shall have
determined that Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available in the London interbank LIBOR market, with respect to an outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a
Prime Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan; or 
 (c) Agent shall have determined that (or any Lender shall have
notified Agent that) the making, maintenance or funding of any LIBOR Rate Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Agent or such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any
Governmental Body or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law); or 

(d) the Required Lenders shall have notified Agent that the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to the Lenders of the establishment or maintenance of any LIBOR Rate Loan, 
 then Agent shall give Borrowing Agent
prompt written notice of such notice or determination. If such notice is given, (i) any such requested LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made as a Prime Rate Loan, unless Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent in writing (including by electronic
transmission) no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) any
Prime Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Prime Rate Loan, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time)
two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted into a Prime Rate Loan, or, if Borrowing Agent
shall notify Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of then current Interest Period applicable to such affected LIBOR Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of LIBOR
Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of then current Interest Period for such affected LIBOR Rate Loans (or sooner, if any Lender cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected LIBOR Rate Loan). Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall
have no obligation to make an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Prime Rate Loan or an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan into an affected type of
LIBOR Rate Loan. 

  
 -72- 













 3.9 Capital Adequacy. 

(a) In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law, any change in any
guideline regarding capital adequacy or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Body, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Agent or any
Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.9, the term “Lender” shall include Agent or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent or any Lender and the office or branch where Agent or any Lender (as so defined) makes or
maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on Agent’s or any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Agent or such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Agent’s and
such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Agent or any Lender to be material, then, from time to time, Borrowers shall pay upon demand to Agent or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate Agent or such Lender for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 3.9 shall be available to Agent and each
Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the Applicable Law, rule, regulation, guideline or condition. 

(b) A certificate of Agent or such Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to
compensate Agent or such Lender with respect to Section 3.9(a) hereof when delivered to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Failure or delay on the part of Agent or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of the right of Agent or any Lender to demand such compensation; provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions in return
incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that Agent or such Lender notifies Borrowing Agent of such law, rule, regulation or guideline giving rise to such reductions and of the intention of Agent or such Lender to claim compensation therefor;
provided further that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then the 270 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof. 
 3.10 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligations hereunder or under any Other Document shall be
made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if Borrowers shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such
payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives


  
 -73- 













 an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
been made, provided that Borrowers shall not be required to increase any such amounts to the extent that the increase in such amount payable results from such Recipient’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence (as finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction), (ii) Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable Law. 

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.10(a) above, Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes
to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable Law. 
 (c) Each Borrower shall indemnify
each Recipient within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) paid by such Recipient and any penalties, interest and reasonable and documented expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by any Recipient (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to
a Governmental Body, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to Agent. 
 (e) Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any Other Document shall deliver to Borrowers (with a
copy to Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Recipient, if requested by Borrowers or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Agent as will enable
Borrowers or Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is resident for tax purposes in
the United States of America, (x) any Recipient that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent two (2) duly completed valid copies of IRS Form W-9 demonstrating that such Person is exempt from United States federal backup
withholding tax, and (y) any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and
from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrowers or Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(i) duly completed valid copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income
tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, 

  
 -74- 













 (ii) duly completed valid copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, 

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrowers
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed valid copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or 

(iv) any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in
United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

(f) If a payment made to a Recipient under this Agreement or any Other Document would be subject to U.S.
federal withholding Taxes imposed by FATCA if such Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall
deliver to Agent and Borrowers (A) a certification signed by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller of such Person, and (B) other documentation reasonably requested by Agent or any Borrower
sufficient for Agent and Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such applicable reporting requirements. 

(g) Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this
Section 3.10 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(h) If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of such Recipient and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant 

  
 -75- 













 Governmental Body with respect to such refund), provided that Borrowers,
upon the request of the Recipient, agree to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Body) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Body. This Section shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person. 

3.11 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (a) makes demand upon Borrowers
for (or if Borrowers are otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.9 or 3.10 hereof, (b) is unable to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in Section 3.2(b) hereof, (c) is a
Defaulting Lender, (d) denies any consent requested by Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, or (e) gives a notice described in Section 3.8(c) hereof, Borrowers may, by notice in writing to Agent and such Affected Lender
(i) request the Affected Lender to cooperate with Borrowers in obtaining a replacement Lender satisfactory to Agent and Borrowers (the “Replacement Lender”); (ii) request the non-Affected Lenders to acquire and assume all
of the Affected Lender’s Loans and its Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Percentage as provided herein, but none of such Lenders shall be under any obligation to do so; or (iii) propose a Replacement Lender subject to approval by Agent in
its good faith business judgment. If any satisfactory Replacement Lender shall be obtained, and/or if any one or more of the non-Affected Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s Loans and its Delayed Draw Term
Loan Commitment Percentage, then such Affected Lender shall assign, in accordance with Section 16.3 hereof, all of its Loans and its Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Percentage and other rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
Other Documents to such Replacement Lender or non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, in exchange for payment of the principal amount so assigned and all interest and fees accrued on the amount so assigned, plus all other Obligations then
due and payable to the Affected Lender. 
 3.12 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Sections 3.7 or 3.9 hereof, or requires Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof, then such
Lender shall (at the request of Borrowing Agent) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 3.7, 3.9, or 3.10 hereof, as the case may be, in the future, and (b) would not subject such Lender
to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment.

	 IV
	 COLLATERAL: GENERAL TERMS 



4.1 Security Interest in the Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and performance to Agent and each Lender (and each
other holder of any Obligations) of the Obligations, each Loan Party hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of each Lender and each other Secured Party, a continuing security interest in and to and
Lien on all of its Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising and wheresoever located. Each Loan Party shall provide Agent with written notice of all commercial tort claims in an aggregate amount in excess of
$500,000 promptly upon the occurrence of any events giving rise to any such claims (regardless of whether legal proceedings have yet been commenced), such notice to contain a brief description of the claims, the events out of which such claims arose
and the parties against which such claims may be asserted and, if applicable in any case where legal proceedings regarding such claims have been commenced, the case title together with the applicable court and docket number. Upon delivery of each
such notice, such Loan Party shall be deemed to thereby grant to Agent a security interest and lien in and to such commercial tort claims described therein and all proceeds thereof. Each Loan Party shall provide Agent with written notice promptly
upon becoming the beneficiary under any letter of credit or otherwise obtaining any right, title or interest in any letter of credit rights in an aggregate amount in excess of $500,000, and at Agent’s request shall take such actions as Agent
may reasonably request for the perfection of Agent’s security interest therein. 
 4.2 Perfection of Security
Interest. Each Loan Party shall take all action that may be necessary, or that Agent may reasonably request, so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of Agent’s security interest in and Lien on
the Collateral or to enable Agent to protect, exercise or enforce its rights hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited to, (i) immediately discharging all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) using commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain Lien Waiver Agreements, (iii) delivering to Agent, endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of assignment as Agent may specify, and stamping or marking, in such manner as Agent may specify, any and all chattel paper,
instruments, letters of credits and advices thereof and documents evidencing or forming a part of the Collateral, (iv) using commercially reasonable efforts to enter into warehousing, lockbox, customs and freight agreements and other custodial
arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (v) executing and delivering financing statements, Control Agreements, instruments of pledge, mortgages, notices and assignments, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Agent, relating to the creation, validity, perfection, maintenance or continuation of Agent’s security interest and Lien under the Uniform Commercial Code or other Applicable Law. By its signature hereto, each Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent
to file against such Loan Party, one or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in form and substance satisfactory to Agent (which statements may have a description of collateral which is broader
than that set forth herein, including without limitation a description of Collateral as “all assets” and/or “all personal property” of any Loan Party). All documented charges, expenses and fees Agent may incur in doing any of the
foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be at the sole expense of the Borrowers and payable by the Borrowers to Agent not later than ten (10) Business Days after written demand.

financial records bad debt reserves adequate to cover such Receivables. 
 (c) Each Loan Party’s chief
executive office is located as set forth on Schedule 4.4 hereto, as such Schedule may be updated from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof. Until written notice is given to Agent by Borrowing Agent of any other office at which any Loan
Party keeps its records pertaining to Receivables, all such records shall be kept at such executive office. 

(d) The Loan Parties shall instruct their Customers to deliver all remittances upon Receivables (whether paid

contemplated by Section 4.8(h) hereof or as otherwise agreed to from time to time by Revolving Agent or, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Loan Party directly receives
any remittances upon Receivables, such Loan Party shall, at such Loan Party’s sole cost and expense, but on Revolving Agent’s and Agent’s behalf and for Revolving Agent’s and, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement,
Agent’s account, collect as Revolving Agent’s and, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, Agent’s property and in trust for Revolving Agent and, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, Agent all amounts

Agreement, Agent, deliver to Revolving Agent or, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, Agent, in original form and on the date of receipt thereof, all checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of

the Obligations remain unpaid. 

  
 -82- 













 (g) Neither Agent nor any Lender shall, under any
circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Receivables or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage
resulting therefrom. 
 (h) All proceeds of Collateral shall be deposited by the Loan Parties into either
(i) a lockbox account, dominion account or such other “blocked account” (each a “Blocked Account” and collectively the “Blocked Accounts”) established at a Specified Domestic Blocked Account Bank,
Specified Swiss Blocked Account Bank or such other bank or banks as may be acceptable to Agent in its Permitted Discretion (each such bank, a “Blocked Account Bank” and collectively, “Blocked Account Banks”)
pursuant to an arrangement with such Blocked Account Bank as may be acceptable to Agent in its Permitted Discretion or (ii) depository accounts (“Depository Accounts”) established at Agent for the deposit of such proceeds. Each
applicable Loan Party shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Agent a Control Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, among such Loan Party, Agent, Revolving Loan Agent and each bank at which each Blocked Account, each
Depository Account and any other deposit account or securities account (other than any Swiss Blocked Account or any Excluded Account) of such Loan Party is maintained that is sufficient to give Agent “control” (for purposes of Articles 8
and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) over such Blocked Accounts, Depository Accounts and other deposit accounts and securities accounts. At any time during a Cash Dominion Period, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, Agent or
Revolving Loan Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to direct, and Agent is hereby authorized to, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, give instructions pursuant to such Control Agreements directing, the disposition of funds
in the Blocked Accounts and Depository Accounts (any such instructions, an “Activation Notice”) to Agent on a daily basis, by wire transfer to a deposit account maintained by Agent, which such funds may, if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, be applied by Agent to repay the Obligations. Prior to the occurrence of a Cash Dominion Triggering Event, the Loan Parties shall retain the right to direct the disposition of funds in the Blocked Accounts and Agent shall
not deliver an Activation Notice. In the event that Agent issues an Activation Notice, Agent agrees to rescind such Activation Notice at such time that no Cash Dominion Period shall exist (it being understood that, notwithstanding any such
rescission, Agent shall have the right and is authorized to issue an additional Activation Notice if a subsequent Cash Dominion Triggering Event shall have occurred or a Cash Dominion Period shall exist at any time thereafter). All funds deposited
in the Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts shall immediately become subject to the security interest of Agent, for its own benefit and the ratable benefit of the other Secured Parties, and Borrowing Agent shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain the agreement by each Blocked Account Bank to waive any offset rights against the funds so deposited. Neither Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility for such blocked account arrangements, including any claim of accord and
satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any Blocked Account Bank thereunder. Agent shall apply all funds received by it from the Blocked Accounts and/or Depository Accounts to the satisfaction of the Obligations in such order as
Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. 

  
 -83- 













 (i) No Loan Party will, without Agent’s consent,
compromise or adjust any material amount of the Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any material returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits thereon except for those compromises,
adjustments, returns, discounts, credits and allowances as have been heretofore customary in the Ordinary Course of Business of such Loan Party. 

(j) All deposit accounts (including all Blocked Accounts and Depository Accounts), securities accounts and
investment accounts of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries as of the
<Closing>Fourth Amendment Effective Date are set forth on Schedule 4.8(j) hereto. No Loan Party shall open any new deposit account, securities account or investment account (other than an Excluded Account) with a bank, depository institution or
securities intermediary other than Agent unless (i) the Loan Parties shall have provided written notice thereof to Agent within five (5) Business Days and (ii) if required by Agent in its sole discretion, such bank, depository
institution or securities intermediary, each applicable Loan Party, Agent and Revolving Loan Agent shall within thirty (30) days following Agent’s request, enter into a Control Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Agent and sufficient to give Agent “control” (for purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) over such account. 

(k) The aggregate amount on deposit in the Swiss Blocked Accounts shall not exceed $6,000,000 for any period of
five (5) or more consecutive Business Days, on any date of determination. 
 4.9 Inventory. To the extent
Inventory held for sale or lease has been produced by any Loan Party, it has been and will be produced by such Loan Party in all material respects in accordance with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, modified or supplemented,
and all rules, regulations and orders thereunder. 
 4.10 Maintenance of Equipment. The Loan Parties’ Equipment
shall be maintained in good operating condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and all necessary replacements of and repairs thereto shall be made. No Loan Party shall use or operate its Equipment in violation in any material respect
of any law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation. 
 4.11 Exculpation of Liability. Nothing set forth herein
shall be construed to constitute Agent or any Lender as any Loan Party’s agent for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the
Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof. Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of any Loan Party’s obligations under any contract or
agreement assigned to Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance by any Loan Party of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

 4.12 Financing Statements. Except as respects the financing
statements filed by Agent, financing statements described on Schedule 7.2 hereto, and financing statements filed in connection with Permitted Encumbrances, no financing statement covering any of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof is or will be
on file in any public office. 
 4.13 Investment Property Collateral. 

(a) Each Loan Party has the right to transfer the Investment Property free of any Liens other than Permitted
Encumbrances and will use commercially reasonable efforts to defend its title to the Investment Property against the contrary claims of all Persons. Each Loan Party shall (i) ensure that each operating agreement, limited partnership agreement
and any other similar agreement permits Agent’s Lien on the Equity Interests of wholly-owned Subsidiaries (other than Foreign Subsidiaries) arising thereunder, foreclosure of Agent’s Lien and admission of any transferee as a member,
limited partner or other applicable equity holder thereunder and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that each operating agreement, limited partnership agreement and any other similar agreement with respect to any other Person
permits Agent’s Lien on the Investment Property of such Loan Party arising thereunder, foreclosure of Agent’s Lien and admission of any transferee as a member, limited partner or other applicable equity holder thereunder. 

(b) Each Loan Party shall, if the Investment Property includes securities or any other financial or other asset
maintained in a securities account, cause the custodian with respect thereto to execute and deliver a notification and Control Agreement or other applicable agreement reasonably satisfactory to Agent in order to perfect and protect Agent’s Lien
in such Investment Property. 
 (c) Except as set forth in Article XI hereof or in the Pledge Agreement,
(i) the Loan Parties will have the right to exercise all voting rights with respect to the Investment Property and (ii) the Loan Parties will have the right to receive all cash dividends and distributions, interest and premiums declared
and paid on the Investment Property to the extent otherwise permitted under this Agreement or under any of the Other Documents. In the event any additional Equity Interests are issued to any Loan Party as a stock dividend or distribution or in lieu
of interest on any of the Investment Property, as a result of any split of any of the Investment Property, by reclassification or otherwise, then any certificates evidencing any such additional shares will be delivered to Agent within fifteen
(15) Business Days (or such later date as Agent shall agree in its Permitted Discretion) and such shares will be subject to this Agreement and a part of the Investment Property to the same extent as the original Investment Property.

 XI LENDERS’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
AFTER DEFAULT. 
 11.1 Rights and Remedies. 

(a) Upon the occurrence of: (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.7 hereof (other than
Section 10.7(g) hereof), all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement shall be deemed terminated, and (ii) any of the other Events of Default and at any time thereafter, at the option of Agent or at the direction
of Required Lenders all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Agent or Required Lenders shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all
rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Other Documents, under the Uniform Commercial Code and at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any
available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Agent may enter any of any Loan Party’s premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring
liability to any Loan Party therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require the Loan
Parties to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place. With or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one
or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type
customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give the Loan Parties reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Borrowing Agent at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or
sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid (including credit bid) for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely
free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly waived and released by each Loan Party. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies,
including the sale of Inventory, Agent is granted a perpetual nonrevocable, royalty free, nonexclusive license and Agent is granted permission to use all of each Loan Party’s (a) Intellectual Property which is used by such Loan Party in
connection with Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such Inventory and (b) Equipment for the 

  
 -125- 













 purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The Net Cash
Proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.5 hereof. Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are converted into cash. If any deficiency
shall arise, the Loan Parties shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor. 
 (b) To the extent that
Applicable Law imposes duties on Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent: (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed
significant by Agent to prepare Collateral for Disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for Disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to
Collateral to be Disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or Disposition of Collateral to be collected or Disposed of; (iii) to fail to exercise
collection remedies against Customers or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral
directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise Dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature;
(vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the
Disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (viii) to Dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the
reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (ix) to Dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment,
(xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or Disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or Disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the
extent deemed appropriate by Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or Disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the
purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or
omissions by Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any
rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 11.1(b). 

  
 -126- 













 (c) Without limiting any other provision hereof: 

(i) At any bona fide public sale, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, at any private sale, Agent
shall be free to purchase all or any part of the Investment Property Collateral. Any such sale may be on cash or credit. Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers
to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Investment Property Collateral for their own account in compliance with Regulation D of the Securities Act or any other applicable exemption available under the Securities Act.
Agent will not be obligated to make any sale if it determines not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of the sale may have been given. Agent may adjourn any sale and sell at the time and place to which the sale is adjourned. If the
Investment Property Collateral is customarily sold on a recognized market or threatens to decline speedily in value, Agent may sell such Investment Property Collateral at any time without giving prior notice to any Loan Party or other Person. 

(ii) Each Loan Party recognizes that Agent may be unable to effect or cause to be effected a public sale of
the Investment Property Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions of the Securities Act, so that Agent may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things,
to acquire the Investment Property Collateral for their own account, for investment and without a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Loan Party understands that private sales so made may be at prices and on other terms less favorable
to the seller than if the Investment Property Collateral were sold at public sales, and agrees that Agent has no obligation to delay or agree to delay the sale of any of the Investment Property Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit
the issuer of the securities which are part of the Investment Property Collateral (even if the issuer would agree), to register such securities for sale under the Securities Act. Each Loan Party agrees that private sales made under the foregoing
circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. 
 (iii) The Net Cash
Proceeds arising from the Disposition of the Investment Property Collateral after deducting expenses incurred by Agent will be applied to the Obligations pursuant to Section 11.5 hereof. If any excess remains after the discharge of all of the
Obligations, the same will be paid to the applicable Loan Party or to any other Person that may be legally entitled thereto. 

At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (A) Agent may transfer any or all of the
Investment Property Collateral into its name or that of its nominee and may exercise all voting rights with respect to the Investment Property Collateral, but no such transfer shall constitute a taking of such Investment Property Collateral in
satisfaction of any or all of the Obligations, and (B) Agent shall be entitled to receive, for application to the Obligations, all cash or stock dividends and distributions, interest and premiums declared or paid on the Investment Property
Collateral. 
 11.2 Agent’s Discretion. Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which
rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify, which procedures, timing and methodologies to employ, and what any other action to take with respect to any or all of the Collateral and
in what order, thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights hereunder as against the Loan Parties or each other. 

  
 -127- 













 11.3 Setoff. Subject to Section 14.13 hereof, in addition to any
other rights which Agent or any Lender may have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply any Loan Party’s property
held by Agent and such Lender or any of their Affiliates to reduce the Obligations and to exercise any and all rights of setoff which may be available to Agent and such Lender with respect to any deposits held by Agent or such Lender. 

11.4 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be
exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative. 

11.5 Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the
contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by Agent on account of the Obligations, or in respect of the Collateral may, at Agent’s discretion, and shall, at the direction
of the Required Lenders, be paid over or delivered as follows: 
 FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of Agent in connection with enforcing its rights and the rights of Lenders under this Agreement and the Other Documents, and any Protective Advances funded by Agent with
respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; 
 SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to Agent;

 THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) of each of the Lenders to the extent owing to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; 

FOURTH, to the payment of all Obligations arising under this Agreement and the Other Documents consisting of accrued fees and
interest; 
 FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations; 

SIXTH, to all other Obligations arising under this Agreement, under the Other Documents or otherwise which shall have become
due and payable and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FIFTH” above; and 
 SEVENTH, to the
payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 
 In carrying out the
foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; and (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based
on the proportion that then outstanding Loans held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Loans) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “FOURTH”, “FIFTH”, “SIXTH” and “SEVENTH”
above. 

  
 -128- 













 XII WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS. 

12.1 Waiver of Notice. Each Loan Party hereby waives notice of non-payment of any of the Receivables, demand,
presentment, protest and notice thereof with respect to any and all instruments, notice of acceptance hereof, notice of loans or advances made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered, or any other action taken in reliance hereon, and all
other demands and notices of any description, except such as are expressly provided for herein. 
 12.2 Delay. No
delay or omission on Agent’s or any Lender’s part in exercising any right, remedy or option shall operate as a waiver of such or any other right, remedy or option or of any Default or Event of Default. 

12.3 Jury Waiver. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM,
COUNTERCLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED
OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR
THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE AND EACH PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL
WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 

XIII EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION. 

13.1 Term. This Agreement, which shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the respective successors and
permitted assigns of each Loan Party, Agent and each Lender, shall become effective on the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect until the Maturity Date (the “Term”) unless sooner terminated as herein provided.
The Loan Parties may terminate this Agreement at any time upon ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Agent upon the Payment in Full of all of the Obligations. 

  
 -129- 













 13.2 Termination. The termination of the Agreement shall not affect
Agent’s or any Lender’s rights, or any of the Obligations having their inception prior to the effective date of such termination or any Obligations which pursuant to the terms hereof continue to accrue after such date, and the provisions
hereof shall continue to be fully operative until (a) all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full and this Agreement has been terminated and (b) each of the Loan Parties has released the Secured Parties from and against any and all
claims of any nature whatsoever that any Loan Party may have against the Secured Parties. The security interests, Liens and rights granted to Agent and Lenders hereunder and the financing statements filed in connection herewith shall continue in
full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, until all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full and this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms. Accordingly, each Loan Party waives any rights which
it may have under the Uniform Commercial Code to demand the filing of termination statements with respect to the Collateral, and Agent shall not be required to send such termination statements to each Loan Party, or to file them with any filing
office, unless and until all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full and this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms. All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and agreements set forth herein shall survive
termination hereof until all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full and this Agreement has been terminated. 
 XIV REGARDING AGENT.

 14.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates TCW to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and
the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as
are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees (except the fees set forth in
Section 3.4 hereof and in the Fee Letter), charges and collections received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and
remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, this Agreement or any Other Documents by or through any trustee, sub-agent, employee, attorney-in-fact and any other Person (including any Lender). Any
such Person shall benefit from this Article X to the extent provided by the Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including collection of the Notes) Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any
action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however,
that Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in Agent’s discretion, exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or Applicable Law unless Agent is furnished with an indemnification
reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto. 
 14.2 Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or
in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals,
statements, 

  
 -130- 













 representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof set forth in
this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the
value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any
obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements set forth in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan
Party. The duties of Agent as respects the Loans to the Loan Parties shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the transactions described herein except as expressly set forth herein. 

14.3 Lack of Reliance on Agent. Independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made
and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Loan Party in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in
connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Loan Party. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with
respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Loan Party pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any
recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Loan Party, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this
Agreement, the Notes, the Other Documents or the financial condition or prospects of any Loan Party, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default. 

14.4 Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent. Agent may resign on sixty (60) days written notice to each Lender and
Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation, Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Parties (provided that no such approval by the Loan Parties shall be required after the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default). Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and shall in particular succeed to all of Agent’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Liens in the Collateral
securing the Obligations created hereunder or any Other Document, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated,
without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the effectiveness of the new Agent’s appointment, any further actions need to be taken in order to provide for
the legally binding and valid transfer of any Liens in the Collateral from former Agent to new Agent and/or for 

  
 -131- 













 the perfection of any Liens in the Collateral as held by new Agent or it is otherwise not
then possible for new Agent to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien as to any of the Collateral, former Agent shall continue to hold such Liens solely as agent for perfection of such Liens on behalf of new Agent until
such time as new Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien on all Collateral, provided that Agent shall not be required to or have any liability or responsibility to take any further actions after such date as such agent for
perfection to continue the perfection of any such Liens (other than to forego from taking any affirmative action to release any such Liens). After any Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV, and any indemnification
rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement (and in the event
resigning Agent continues to hold any Liens pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this Article XIV and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under
Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with such Liens). 

14.5 Certain Rights of Agent. If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action
(including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Required Lenders; and Agent shall
not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the
instructions of Required Lenders. 
 14.6 Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, email, facsimile, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and
attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care. 

14.7 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event
of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Borrowing Agent referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice
is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Required
Lenders; provided that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall
deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders. 

  
 -132- 













 14.8 Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and
indemnified by the Loan Parties, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the outstanding Loans, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other
Document; provided that Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross (not mere)
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). 

14.9 Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Loans
made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise
indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Loan Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services
in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. 
 14.10 Delivery of
Documents. To the extent Agent receives financial statements required under Sections 9.7, 9.9, 9.12 and 9.13 hereof from any Loan Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which any Loan Party is not obligated to deliver to each Lender,
Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders. 
 14.11 Loan Parties Undertaking to Agent.
Without prejudice to their respective obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time on demand all amounts from time to time due and payable by it
for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant Loan Party’s obligations to make payments for the
account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement. 
 14.12 No Reliance on Agent’s
Customer Identification Program. To the extent the Loans or this Agreement is, or becomes, syndicated in cooperation with other Lenders, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or
assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the
regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended, modified, supplemented or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any
of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Other Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures,
(ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such Anti-Terrorism Laws. 

  
 -133- 













 14.13 Other Agreements. Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not,
without the prior written consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Loan Party or any deposit accounts of
any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by Agent, take any action to
protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Documents, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be taken in concert and at the
direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders. 
 14.14 Swiss Law Governed Security Documents. 

(a) Without prejudice to the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, the parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that, for the purposes of taking and ensuring the continuing validity of any pledge or security agreement governed by the laws of Switzerland, Agent shall hold: (i) the security that it holds under any such Swiss law
governed pledge or security agreement that is accessory in nature (akzessorisch) for itself and for and on behalf of the other Secured Parties as a direct representative (direkte Stellvertretung) and (ii) the security that it
holds under any such Swiss law governed pledge or security agreement that is non-accessory in nature (nicht-akzessorisch) as an agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (Halten unter einem Treuhandveraltnis). 

(b) With regards to any pledge or security agreement governed by the laws of Switzerland, (i) each Lender
(on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby appoints and authorizes Agent (x) to enter into, do all actions required in connection with and enforce (all in accordance with this Agreement) each of the Other Documents governed by the laws of
Switzerland that is non-accessory in nature (nicht-akzessorisch) in its own name but for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and (y) to enter into, do all actions required in connection with and enforce (all in accordance with this
Agreement) each of the Other Documents governed by the laws of Switzerland that is accessory in nature (akzessorisch) for itself and for and on behalf of the Secured Parties as a direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter), and
each Lender (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) and (ii) each Loan Party acknowledges that each Lender (including, without limitation, any future Lender) will be a party to each of the Other Documents governed by the laws of Switzerland.

 XV BORROWING AGENCY. 

15.1 Borrowing Agency Provisions. 

(a) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably designates Borrowing Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such
capacity to (i) borrow, (ii) request the Delayed Draw Term Loan, (iii) sign and endorse notes, (iv) execute and deliver all instruments, documents, applications, security agreements and all other agreements, documents,
instruments, certificates, notices and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, (v) make elections regarding interest rates, and (vi) otherwise take action under and in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents,
all on behalf of and in the name such Loan Party or the Loan Parties, and hereby authorizes Agent to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrowing Agent. 

  
 -134- 













 (b) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing
facility with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to the Loan Parties and at their request. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur liability to the Loan Parties as a result thereof. To induce
Agent and Lenders to do so and in consideration thereof, each Loan Party hereby indemnifies Agent and each Lender and holds Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or
injury asserted against Agent or any Lender by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of the Loan Parties as provided herein, reliance by Agent or any Lender on any request or instruction from
Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by Agent or any Lender with respect to this Section 15.1 except due to the willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence by the indemnified party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final and non-appealable judgment). 
 (c) All Obligations shall be joint and several, and each Loan
Party shall make payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Loan Party shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by Agent or
any Lender to any Loan Party, failure of Agent or any Lender to give any Loan Party notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of Agent or any Lender to pursue or preserve its rights against any Loan Party, the release by Agent or any
Lender of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Loan Party, and such agreement by each Loan Party to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by Agent or any Lender to the other Loan
Parties or any Collateral for such Loan Party’s Obligations or the lack thereof. Each Loan Party waives all suretyship defenses. 

15.2 Waiver of Subrogation. Each Loan Party expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Loan Party may now or hereafter have against the other Loan Parties or any other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to
any other Loan Parties’ property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until the termination of the Commitments, the termination of
this Agreement and the Payment in Full of the Obligations.

State of New York, be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Any judicial proceeding brought by or against any Loan Party with

appoints as such Loan Party’s agent for the purpose of accepting service within the State of New York. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to

 16.2 Entire Understanding. 

(a) This Agreement and the documents executed concurrently herewith contain the entire understanding between
each Loan Party, Agent and each Lender and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not set forth herein and hereinafter made shall
have no force and effect unless in writing, signed by each Loan Party’s, Agent’s and each Lender’s respective officers. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof may be amended, modified, changed, waived,
supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Borrowing Agent may modify this
Agreement or any of the Other Documents for the purposes of completing missing content or correcting erroneous content of an administrative nature, without the need for a written amendment, provided that Agent shall send a copy of any such
modification to the Borrowers and each Lender (which copy may be provided by electronic mail). Each Loan Party acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and Other Documents and is not relying
upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 

  
 -136- 













 (b) Required Lenders, Agent with the consent in writing of
Required Lenders, and the Loan Parties may, subject to the provisions of this Section 16.2(b), from time to time enter into written supplemental agreements to this Agreement or the Other Documents executed by the Loan Parties, for the purpose
of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving in any manner the rights of Lenders, Agent or the Loan Parties thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof or waiving any Event of Default thereunder, but
only to the extent specified in such written agreements; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall: 

(i) increase the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Percentage or the maximum dollar amount of the Delayed Draw
Term Loan without the consent of such Lender directly affected thereby; 
 (ii) extend the Term or the time
for payment of principal or interest of the Loans (excluding the due date of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans), or any fee payable to any Lender, or reduce the principal amount of or the rate of interest borne by the Loans or reduce any fee
payable to any Lender, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except that Required Lenders may elect to waive or rescind any imposition of the Default Rate under Section 3.1 hereof (unless imposed by Agent)); 

(iii) alter the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or alter, amend or modify this
Section 16.2(b) without the consent of all Lenders; 
 (iv) alter, amend or modify the provisions of
Section 11.5 hereof without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; 
 (v)
release all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) without the consent of all Lenders directly affected thereby; or 

(vi) release any Borrower without the consent of all Lenders. 

(c) Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon the Loan
Parties, Lenders and Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured
and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent
thereon. 
 (d) In the event that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 16.2
and such consent is denied, then Agent may, at its option, require such Lender to assign its interest in the Loans to Agent or to another Lender or to any other Person designated by Agent (the “Designated Lender”), for a price equal
to (i) then outstanding principal amount thereof plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and fees due 

  
 -137- 













 
such Lender, which interest and fees shall be paid when collected from the Loan Parties. In the event Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to Agent or to the Designated
Lender, Agent will so notify such Lender in writing within forty five (45) days following such Lender’s denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to Agent or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt
of such notice pursuant to an Assignment Agreement executed by such Lender, Agent or the Designated Lender, as appropriate, and Agent. 

(e) Agent is hereby authorized by the Loan Parties and Lenders, at any time in Agent’s sole discretion,
regardless of (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the other applicable conditions precedent have not been satisfied or the Commitments have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other
contrary provision of this Agreement, to make Loans to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders which Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b) to
enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (c) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Protective
Advances”). Lenders holding the Loans shall be obligated to fund such Protective Advances and effect a settlement with Agent therefor upon demand of Agent in accordance with their respective pro rata share of the outstanding Loans. To the
extent any Protective Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(e), any such Protective Advances funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Loans made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be
entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding Loans. 
 16.3 Successors and
Assigns; Participations; New Lenders. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Loan Parties, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the
prior written consent of Agent and each Lender. 
 (b) Each Loan Party acknowledges that in the regular
course of commercial banking business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Loans to other Persons (each such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest, a
“Participant”). Each Participant may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to the portion of such Loans held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such Participant were the
direct holder thereof provided that (i) the Loan Parties shall not be required to pay to any Participant more than the amount which it would have been required to pay to any Lender which granted an interest in its Loans or other Obligations
payable hereunder to such Participant had such Lender retained such interest in the Loans hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of Borrowing
Agent and such Participant acknowledges that it is entitled to no greater rights hereunder and under the Other Documents than the applicable Lender, and (ii) in no event shall the Loan Parties be


  
 -138- 













 
required to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same Loans or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and such Participant. Each Loan
Party hereby grants to any Participant a continuing security interest in any deposits, moneys or other property actually or constructively held by such Participant as security for the Participant’s interest in the Loans. Each Lender that sells
a participation shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or
its other Obligations hereunder or under any Other Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that any such Commitment, Loan or other Obligation is in registered form under Treas. Reg.
Section 5f.103-1(c). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all
purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register 

(c) Any Lender, with the consent of Agent, may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and
obligations under or relating to Loans under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional Persons (each a “Purchasing Lender”), in minimum amounts of not less than $5,000,000, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement,
executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording, provided, however, that each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans under this Agreement in which such Lender has an interest. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such
Assignment Agreement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with a Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Percentage
as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Assignment Agreement creating a novation for that purpose.
Such Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Percentages
arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Loan Party hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing Lender
and the resulting adjustment of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other
Documents. The Loan Parties shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing; provided, however, that the consent


  
 -139- 













 
of Borrowing Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such
assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Permitted Assignee; provided that Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Agent within seven (7) Business
Days after having received prior notice thereof. 
 (d) Any Lender, with the consent of Agent which shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed, may directly or indirectly sell, assign or transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under or relating to Loans under this Agreement and the Other Documents to an entity, whether a corporation,
partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity that (i) is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and (ii) is
administered, serviced or managed by the assigning Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender (a “Purchasing CLO” and together with each Participant and Purchasing Lender, each a “Transferee” and collectively the
“Transferees”), pursuant to an Assignment Agreement modified as appropriate to reflect the interest being assigned (“Modified Assignment Agreement”), executed by any intermediate purchaser, the Purchasing CLO, the
transferor Lender, and Agent as appropriate and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution and delivery, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Modified Assignment Agreement, (i) Purchasing CLO
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Modified Assignment Agreement and recordation in the Register, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the
extent provided in such Modified Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Modified Assignment Agreement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Modified Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to amend this
Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing CLO. Each Loan Party hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing CLO. The Loan Parties shall execute and deliver such further documents and
do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing. 
 (e) Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary
agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at its address a copy of each Assignment Agreement and Modified Assignment Agreement delivered to it and the Register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the outstanding
principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due hereunder. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Loan Party, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as the owner of the Loans recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowing Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Agent
shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other than to an intermediate purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender and/or
Purchasing CLO. 

  
 -140- 













 (f) Each Loan Party authorizes each Lender to disclose to
any Transferee and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning such Loan Party which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or in
connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of such Loan Party; provided that such Transferee or prospective Transferee shall agree to be bound by the provisions of Section 16.15 hereof. 

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time and from
time to time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; 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. 

16.4 Application of Payments. Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any
payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Loan Party’s benefit, which
are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to
such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender. 

16.5 Indemnity. Each Loan Party shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Agent, each Lender and each of
their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) for and from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel)) (collectively,
“Claims”) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of: (i) this Agreement, the Other Documents, the
Loans and other Obligations and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (ii) any action or failure to act or action taken only after delay or the satisfaction of any conditions by any Indemnified Party in connection with
and/or relating to the negotiation, execution, delivery or administration of the Agreement and the Other Documents, the credit facilities established hereunder and thereunder and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions,
(iii) any Loan Party’s failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under or breach of any of the representations or warranties made in this Agreement and the Other Documents,
(iv) the enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Agent or any Lender under the Agreement and the Other Documents, (v) any threatened or actual imposition of fines or penalties, or disgorgement of benefits, for violation of any
Anti-Terrorism Law by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, and (vi) any claim, litigation, proceeding or investigation 

  
 -141- 













 
instituted or conducted by any Governmental Body or instrumentality or any other Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter related
to, this Agreement or the Other Documents, whether or not Agent or any Lender is a party thereto. Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, each Loan Party shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Indemnified Party
from any Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party under any Environmental Laws with respect to or in connection with any Real Property owned or leased by any Loan Party, any Hazardous Discharge, the
presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting any Real Property owned or leased by any Loan Party (whether or not the same originates or emerges from such Real Property or any contiguous real estate), including any Claims consisting of or relating
to the imposition or assertion of any Lien on any Real Property owned or leased by any Loan Party under any Environmental Laws and any loss of value of such Real Property as a result of the foregoing except to the extent such loss, liability, damage
and expense is attributable to any Hazardous Discharge resulting from actions on the part of Agent or any Lender. The Loan Parties’ obligations under this Section 16.5 shall arise upon the discovery of the presence of any Hazardous
Materials at any Real Property owned or leased by any Loan Party, whether or not any federal, state, or local environmental agency has taken or threatened any action in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Materials, in each such case
except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including fees and disbursements of
counsel) asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties by any Person under any Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of any Loan Party’s or any other Person’s failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or
hazardous waste materials, including Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste, or other Toxic Substances. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, (A) the Loan Parties shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Party under this
Section 16.5 with respect to any Claims that (I) a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or its officers, directors, employees,
attorneys or agents; (II) result from disputes solely between or among the Lenders or from disputes solely between or among the Lenders and their respective Affiliates; it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Section 16.5
shall extend to Agent (but not the Lenders) relative to disputes between or among Agent, on the one hand, and one or more Lenders, or one or more of their Affiliates, on the other hand, and (B) any obligation for any Claim with respect to legal
counsel shall be limited to the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (I) one primary counsel and any special and local counsel for Agent and the other Indemnified Parties and (II) in the event of any actual or potential
conflicts of interest, one additional primary counsel and any additional special and local counsel, in each case, for all similarly situated Indemnified Parties. This Section 16.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes.

 -144- 













 16.8 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is contrary to,
prohibited by, or deemed invalid under Applicable Laws, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so
far as possible. 
 16.9 Expenses. The Loan Parties shall pay (a) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel and any special and local counsel), and shall pay all reasonable and documented fees and time charges and
disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the Other
Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (b) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by Agent on any Lender (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (x) one primary counsel and any special and local counsel for Agent and the Lenders and (y) in the event of any actual or potential
conflicts of interest, one additional primary counsel and any additional special and local counsel, in each case, for all similarly situated Lenders), and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of Agent in connection
with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents, including its rights under this Section, (c) all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent on any Lender (including the
reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of (x) one primary counsel and any special and local counsel for Agent and the Lenders and (y) in the event of any actual or potential conflicts of interest, one additional primary
counsel and any additional special and local counsel, in each case, for all similarly situated Lenders), and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of Agent in connection with the enforcement or protection of its
rights in connection with the Loans issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans, and (d) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of
Agent’s regular employees and agents engaged periodically to perform audits of any Loan Party’s or any Loan Party’s Affiliate’s or Subsidiary’s books, records and business properties. 

16.10 Injunctive Relief. Each Loan Party recognizes that, in the event any Loan Party fails to perform, observe or
discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or discharge such obligations or liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lenders; therefor, Agent, if Agent so
requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy. 

16.11 Consequential Damages. Neither Agent nor any Lender, nor any agent or attorney for any of them, shall be liable to
any Loan Party (or any Affiliate of any such Person) for indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations
or as a result of any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any Other Document.

constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile or electronic transmission (including email transmission of a PDF image) shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto. 

16.14 Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed this Agreement and that the

obtained by Agent, such Lender or such Transferee pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with Agent’s, such Lender’s and such Transferee’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this
nature; provided, however, Agent, each Lender and each Transferee may disclose such confidential information (a) to its examiners, so long as such examiners are informed of the confidential nature of such information; (b) to

with the provisions of this Section 16.15; (c) to Agent or any Lender; (d) to any prospective Transferees, so long as such prospective Transferees agree to comply with the provisions of this Section 16.15; and (e) as
required or requested by any Governmental Body or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided further that (i) unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law, Agent, each Lender and each Transferee shall use
its reasonable best efforts prior to disclosure thereof, to notify the applicable Loan Party of the applicable request for disclosure of such non-public information (A) by a Governmental Body or representative thereof (other than any such
request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of a Lender or a Transferee by such Governmental Body) or (B) pursuant to legal process and (ii) in no event shall Agent, any Lender or any Transferee be obligated to
return any materials furnished by any Loan Party other than those documents and instruments in possession of Agent or any Lender in order to perfect its Lien on the Collateral once the Obligations have been Paid in Full and this Agreement has been
terminated. Each Loan Party acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to such Loan Party or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise)
by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each Loan Party hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in
connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate 

  
 -146- 













 
of any Lender receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 16.15 as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the other
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any non-disclosure agreement or similar document executed by Agent in favor of any Loan Party or any of any Loan Party’s affiliates, the provisions of this Agreement shall
supersede such agreements. 
 16.16 Publicity. Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to make
appropriate announcements of the financial arrangement entered into among the Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders, including announcements which are commonly known as tombstones, in such publications and to such selected parties as Agent shall in its
sole and absolute discretion deem appropriate. 
 16.17 Certifications From Banks and Participants; USA PATRIOT Act.

 (a) Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the
United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement in Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or
foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to Agent the
certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten
(10) days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act. 

(b) The USA PATRIOT Act requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information
that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, each Lender may from time to time request, and each Loan Party shall provide to Lender, such Loan Party’s name,
address, tax identification number and/or such other identifying information as shall be necessary for Lender to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act and any other Anti-Terrorism Law. 

16.18 Anti-Terrorism Laws. 

(a) Each Loan Party represents and warrants that (i) no Covered Entity is a Sanctioned Person and
(ii) no Covered Entity, either in its own right or through any third party, (A) has any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in the possession, custody or control of a Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law;
(B) does business in or with, or derives any of its income from investments in or transactions with, any Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; or (C) engages in any dealings or transactions
prohibited by any Anti-Terrorism Law. 

  
 -147- 













 (b) Each Loan Party covenants and agrees that (i) no
Covered Entity will become a Sanctioned Person, (ii) no Covered Entity, either in its own right or through any third party, will (B) have any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in the possession, custody or control of a Sanctioned

any Anti-Terrorism Law, (iii) the funds used to repay the Obligations will not be derived from any unlawful activity, (iv) each Covered Entity shall comply with all Anti-Terrorism Laws and (v) the Loan Parties shall promptly notify
Agent in writing upon the occurrence of a Reportable Compliance Event. 
 16.19 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of
EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Other Document, or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any Agent, Lenders and the Loan Parties, Agent, each Lender and each
Loan Party acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under this Agreement or any Other 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 undertaking, 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 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. 
  

	 XVII
	 GUARANTY. 



17.1 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety,
jointly and severally with each other Guarantor when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by notice of prepayment or otherwise, the due and punctual performance of all Obligations. Each payment made by any Guarantor pursuant to this
Guaranty shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. 

  
 -148- 













 17.2 Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably waives (a) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, notice of presentment of payment and any other notice hereunder, (b) demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, notice of the present and future amount
of the Obligations and any other notice with respect to the Obligations, (c) any requirement that Agent, any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take
any action against any other Loan Party, or any Person or any Collateral, (d) any other action, event or precondition to the enforcement hereof or the performance by each such Guarantor of the Obligations, and (e) any defense arising by
any lack of capacity or authority or any other defense of any Loan Party or any notice, demand or defense by reason of cessation from any cause of Obligations other than the Payment in Full of the Obligations and any defense that any other guarantee
or security was or was to be obtained by Agent. 
 17.3 No Defense. No invalidity, irregularity, voidableness,
voidness or unenforceability of this Agreement or any Other Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or of all or any part of the Obligations or of any collateral security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense
hereunder. 
 17.4 Guaranty of Payment. The Guaranty hereunder is one of payment and performance, not collection, and
the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of the other Loan Parties, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce the terms and conditions of this Article XVII,
irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Loan Party or other Persons or whether any other Loan Party or other Persons are joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives any right to require that any resort be had
by Agent or any Lender to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Agent or any Lender in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person. No election to proceed in one form of
action or proceedings, or against any Person, or on any Obligations, shall constitute a waiver of Agent’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against any other Person unless Agent has expressed any such right in
writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Agent against any Loan Party under any document evidencing or securing indebtedness of any Loan Party to Agent shall diminish the liability of any Guarantor
hereunder, except to the extent Agent receives actual payment on account of Obligations by such action or proceeding, notwithstanding the effect of any such election, action or proceeding upon the right of subrogation of any Guarantor in respect of
any Loan Party. 

  
 -149- 













 17.5 Liabilities Absolute. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder
shall be absolute, unlimited and unconditional and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or
compromise, and shall not be subject to any claim, defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any other Obligation or otherwise. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor shall not be discharged or impaired, released, limited or otherwise affected by: 

(a) any change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, and/or any change or extension of the
time of payment or performance of, release, renewal or alteration of, or any new agreements relating to any Obligation, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any rescission of, or amendment,
waiver or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, this Agreement or any Other Document, including any increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or otherwise; 

(b) any sale, exchange, release, surrender, loss, abandonment, realization upon any property by whomsoever at
any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, all or any of the Obligations, and/or any offset there against, or failure to perfect, or continue the perfection of, any Lien in any such property, or delay in the perfection of any
such Lien, or any amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty for all or any of the Obligations; 

(c) the failure of Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against
any other Loan Party or any other Person under the provisions of this Agreement or any Other Document or any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith or therewith; 

(d) any settlement or compromise of any Obligation, any security therefor or any liability (including any of
those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and any subordination of the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any obligation (whether due or not) of any Loan Party to creditors of any Loan Party
other than any other Loan Party; 
 (e) any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all
or any of the Obligations, or any manner of Disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of any Loan Party; and 

(f) any other agreements or circumstance of any nature whatsoever that may or might in any manner or to any
extent vary the risk of any Guarantor, or that might otherwise at law or in equity constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guaranty hereunder and/or the obligations of any Guarantor, or a defense to, or discharge of, any Loan Party
or any other Person or party hereto or the Obligations or otherwise with respect to the Loans or other financial accommodations to the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Other Documents. 

17.6 Waiver of Notice. Agent shall have the right to do any of the above without notice to or the consent of any
Guarantor and each Guarantor expressly waives any right to notice of, consent to, knowledge of and participation in any agreements relating to any of the above or any other present or future event relating to Obligations whether under this Agreement
or otherwise or any right to challenge or question any of the above and waives any defenses of such Guarantor which might arise as a result of such actions (in each case other than the defense of Payment in Full of the Obligations). 

  
 -150- 













 17.7 Agent’s Discretion. Agent may at any time and from time to
time (whether prior to or after the revocation or termination of this Agreement) without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without incurring responsibility to any Guarantor or impairing or releasing the Obligations, apply any sums by
whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any Obligations regardless of what Obligations remain unpaid. 
 17.8
Reinstatement. 
 (a) The Guaranty provisions herein set forth herein shall continue to be effective
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if claim is ever made upon Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Agent or such Lender in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and such Person repays
all or part of said amount for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Person or the respective property of each, or any
settlement or compromise of any claim effected by such Person with any such claimant (including any Loan Party); and in such event each Guarantor hereby agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise or other circumstances
shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any Obligation, and each Guarantor shall be and remain liable to Agent and/or Lenders for the amount so repaid
or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Persons. 
 (b)
Agent shall not be required to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor, or against or in payment of Obligations. 

(c) No Guarantor shall be entitled to claim against any present or future security held by Agent from any
Person for Obligations in priority to or equally with any claim of Agent, or assert any claim for any liability of any Loan Party to any Guarantor in priority to or equally with claims of Agent for Obligations, and no Guarantor shall be entitled to
compete with Agent with respect to, or to advance any equal or prior claim to any security held by Agent for Obligations. 

(d) If any Loan Party makes any payment to Agent, which payment is wholly or partly subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to any Person under any federal or provincial statute or at common law or under equitable principles, then to the extent of such payment, the Obligation intended to be
paid shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if the payment had not been made, and the resulting revived Obligation shall continue to be guaranteed, uninterrupted, by each Guarantor hereunder. 

  
 -151- 













 (e) All present and future monies payable by any Loan Party
to any Guarantor, whether arising out of a right of subrogation or otherwise, are assigned to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of Lenders as security for such Guarantor’s liability to Agent and Lenders hereunder and are
postponed and subordinated to Agent’s prior right to Payment in Full of the Obligations. Except to the extent prohibited otherwise by this Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all monies received by any
Guarantor from any Loan Party shall be held by such Guarantor as agent and trustee for Agent. This assignment, postponement and subordination shall only terminate when the Obligations are Paid in Full and this Agreement is irrevocably terminated.

 (f) Each Loan Party acknowledges this assignment, postponement and subordination and, except as otherwise
set forth herein, agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall make no payments to any Guarantor without the prior written consent of Agent. Each Loan Party agrees to give full effect to the
provisions hereof.
