 3 








 
Amendment constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

SECTION 7. Effect of Amendment; Reaffirmation. 

7.1. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or
otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other provision of the Existing Credit Agreement or of any other Loan Document. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrower or any Guarantor to a consent to, or a
waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. Nothing in this Amendment
shall be deemed to be a novation of any Obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 7.2. Each Guarantor reaffirms
its guarantee of the Borrower’s Obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions of Section 2 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Guaranty”) and agrees that such Guaranty remains in
full force and effect and is hereby ratified, reaffirmed and confirmed. Each Guarantor hereby confirms that it consents to the terms of this Amendment. Each Guarantor hereby (i) confirms that each Loan Document to which it is a party or is
otherwise bound will continue to guarantee to the fullest extent possible in accordance with the Loan Documents, the payment and performance of the Guarantor Obligations, including without limitation the payment and performance of all such
applicable Guarantor Obligations that are joint and several obligations of each Guarantor now or hereafter existing; (ii) acknowledges and agrees that its Guaranty, the Guarantor Obligations and each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party
or otherwise bound shall continue in full force and effect and that all of its obligations thereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be impaired, interrupted, discharged or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Amendment;
and (iii) acknowledges, agrees and warrants for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each other Agent and each Secured Party that there are no rights of set-off or counterclaim, nor any defenses of any kind, whether legal, equitable or
otherwise, that would enable such Guarantor to avoid or delay timely performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents (except to the extent such obligations constitute Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such Guarantor). 

7.3. Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors (collectively, the “Grantors”) hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed and
consents to the terms and conditions of this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, each Grantor reaffirms the security interests granted by such Grantor under the terms and conditions of the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement to secure the Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations and agrees that such security interests remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified, reaffirmed and confirmed. Each Grantor hereby (i) confirms that each Loan
Document to which it is a party or is otherwise bound and all Collateral encumbered thereby will continue to guarantee or secure, as the case may be, to the fullest extent possible in accordance with the Loan Documents, the payment and performance
of the Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations, as the case may be, including without limitation the payment and performance of all such applicable Obligations or Guarantor Obligations that are joint and several obligations of each Guarantor or
Grantor now or hereafter existing, (ii) confirms its respective grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of the security interest in and continuing Lien on all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to
and under all Collateral, in each case whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance in full when due,


  
 4 








 
whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all applicable Obligations and Guarantor Obligations (including all such Obligations or
Guarantor Obligations as amended, reaffirmed and/or increased pursuant to this Amendment), subject to the terms contained in the applicable Loan Documents, and (iii) confirms its respective guarantees, pledges, grants of security interests and
other obligations, as applicable, under and subject to the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. 
 7.4. Each Grantor
acknowledges and agrees that each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or otherwise bound shall continue in full force and effect and that all of its obligations thereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be impaired,
interrupted, discharged or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Amendment, except to the extent expressly provided herein. 

7.5. Notwithstanding Sections 7.1 through 7.4 of this Amendment, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Amendment and the Restated
Credit Agreement shall not constitute the incurrence of any Indebtedness by any Loan Party or the creation of any security interest with respect to any property or asset of any Loan Party hereunder or under the Restated Credit Agreement unless and
until the Restatement Effective Date has occurred. 
 7.6. On and after the Restatement Effective Date, each reference in the Existing Credit
Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein”, or words of like import, and each reference to the Credit Agreement in any other Loan Document, shall be deemed a reference to the Restated
Credit Agreement. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement). 

7.7. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Amendment Effective Date, the Lenders and the
Borrower agree that the Administrative Agent shall treat the Restated Credit Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 

SECTION 8. General.

expenses in connection with this Amendment, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent.

counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Amendment by email or facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart hereof.

time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period). Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment
shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, each Swingline Lender shall make
available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of its ratable portion of the Swingline Loan to be made by such Swingline Lender (such ratable portion to be calculated based
upon such Swingline Lender’s Revolving Commitment (in its capacity as a Revolving Lender) to the total Revolving Commitments of all of the Swingline Lenders (in their respective capacities as Revolving Lenders)). The Administrative Agent shall
make the proceeds of such Swingline Loans available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds. 

(b) Independent Swingline Lender Obligations. The failure of any Swingline Lender to make its ratable portion of a Swingline Loan shall
not relieve any other Swingline Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its ratable portion of such Swingline Loan on the date of such Swingline Loan, but no Swingline Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Swingline Lender to
make the ratable portion of a Swingline Loan to be made by such other Swingline Lender on the date of any Swingline Loan. 

  
 38 








 (c) Any Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion
may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lenders to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by such Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, to the Administrative Agent,
who shall then request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the
“Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lenders. Subject to clause (d) below, each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative
Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative
Agent to the Swingline Lenders for application by the Swingline Lenders to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lenders, following notice by the Swingline Lenders to the Administrative
Agent, to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving
Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans. 
 (d) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise
been made pursuant to Section 2.7(c), one of the events described in Section 8.1(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by any Swingline Lender in its sole
discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.7(c), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(c), purchase for cash an
undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to each Swingline Lender (through the Administrative Agent) an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans of such Swingline Lender then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans. 

(e) Whenever, at any time after any Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) such
Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, such Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, such Swingline Lender will distribute (through the Administrative Agent) to such Lender its ratable portion of such payment
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such
Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by such Swingline
Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return (through the Administrative Agent) to such Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by such Swingline Lender. 

(f) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Refunded Swingline Loans referred to in Section 2.7(c) and to purchase
participating interests pursuant to Section 2.7(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or
the Borrower may have against any Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions
specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving
Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 

  
 39 








 2.8. Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available
Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. 

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the
Administrative Agent and to perform any other obligations contained therein. 
 2.9. Termination or Reduction of Revolving
Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments;
provided, that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total
Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be irrevocable; provided, that such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the
effectiveness of other credit facilities, settlement of an offering of securities or a Change in Control, in each case, which such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 A.M., New York City
time, on the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect. 

2.10. Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or
penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business
Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.20. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such
notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount
prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a
whole multiple thereof. Each payment pursuant to this Section on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be applied as provided in Section 2.17(b). Each payment pursuant to this Section on account of principal of and
interest on the Revolving Loans shall be applied as provided in Section 2.17(c). 
 2.11. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If any
Indebtedness shall be issued or incurred by any Group Member (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2, other than paragraph (l) thereof), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied
on the date of such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(d). 

  
 40 








 (b) If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or
Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on such date toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(d); provided, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales that may be excluded from the foregoing requirement pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice shall not exceed $2,500,000 in any fiscal year of the Borrower and
(ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving
Commitments as set forth in Section 2.11(d). 
 (c) If, for any fiscal year of the Borrower commencing with the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2015, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, prepay an aggregate amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to (A) the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the
fiscal year covered by the financial statements for such fiscal year (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in Section 2.11(d) below), minus (B) solely to the extent not funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness, the aggregate amount
of all optional prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10 made during such fiscal year. Each such prepayment and commitment reduction shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than
five days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and
(ii) the date such financial statements are actually delivered. 
 (d) Amounts to be applied pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be
applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.17(b). The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment
of the Loans under Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. 
 (e)
Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 2.11, to the extent any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary, the Net Cash Proceeds of any Recovery Event received by a Foreign Subsidiary or Excess Cash Flow
attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries, are prohibited or delayed by any applicable local law (including, without limitation, financial assistance, corporate benefit restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra group and the fiduciary and statutory
duties of the directors of such Foreign Subsidiary) from being repatriated or passed on to or used for the benefit of the Borrower or any applicable Domestic Subsidiary or if the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any such
amount to the Borrower or any applicable Domestic Subsidiary would have material adverse tax consequences (including a material acceleration of the point in time when such earnings would otherwise be taxed) with respect to such amount, the portion
of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to prepay the Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.11 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long,
as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation or the passing on to or otherwise using for the benefit of the Borrower or the applicable Domestic Subsidiary, or the Borrower believes in good faith that such material adverse tax consequence
would result, and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law or the Borrower determines in good faith such repatriation would no longer have such material adverse
tax consequences, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes
payable or reasonably estimated to be payable as a result thereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11; provided, that no such prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be required in the
case of any such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow the repatriation of which the Borrower believes in good faith would result in material adverse tax consequences, if on or before the date on which such Net Cash Proceeds so retained would
otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to a 

  
 41 








 
Reinvestment Notice (or such Excess Cash Flow would have been so required if it were Net Cash Proceeds), the Borrower applies an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess
Cash Flow to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been received by the Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved
against if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary). For the purposes of this Section 2.11(e) only,
the term Domestic Subsidiary shall include a Foreign Subsidiary Holdco. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 2.11, if any Term Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent (i) on the date of such prepayment, with respect to any prepayment under Section 2.11(a) or (b) or (ii) at least one Business Day prior to the date of a
prepayment under Section 2.11(c) that it wishes to decline its share of such prepayment, such share (the “Declined Prepayment Amount”) shall be offered in accordance with the mandatory prepayment provisions of the Second Lien
Credit Agreement (or the applicable corresponding provisions of any document governing any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness with respect thereto) and, if declined by the lenders thereunder, may be retained by the Borrower. 

2.12. Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by
giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit J of such election no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided, that any such
conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice
in the form of Exhibit J of such election no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor),
provided, that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility
have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. 

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower
giving irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit J to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to
be applicable to such Loans, provided, that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility
Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) if an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8.1(f) with respect to the Borrower is
in existence, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be
automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. 

2.13. Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and
continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising
each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than 10 Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time. 

  
 42 








 2.14. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest
for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin. 

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin. 

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and any grace period applicable thereto shall have expired, all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of
the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility
plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility,
the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before
judgment). 
 (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided, that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph
(c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand. 
 2.15. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest
and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon
shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar
Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative
Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. 

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and
binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any
interest rate pursuant to Section 2.14(a). 
 2.16. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any
Interest Period: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate) do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period, or


  
 43 








 (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority
Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate, as applicable, determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as
conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, then 
 the Administrative Agent shall
give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such
Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding
Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant
Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans. 

2.17. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower
on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. 

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata
according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders. The amount of each mandatory principal prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be applied to reduce the then
remaining installments of the Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, pro rata based upon the respective then remaining principal amounts thereof. The amount of each optional prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to
Section 2.10 shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans, as the case may be, in such order as the Borrower may direct. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be
reborrowed. 
 (c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans
shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders. 

(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise,
shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately
available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to Section 9.7. If any payment hereunder (other
than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately
preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. 

  
 44 








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

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the
Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average NYFRB
Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower. 
 (g) If any Lender
shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.7(c), 2.7(d), 2.17(e), 2.17(f), 2.19(e), 3.4(a) or 9.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof,
(i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lenders or the Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under
such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in
the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 
 2.18.
Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender or other Credit Party with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof: 
 (i) shall
subject any Credit Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal,
letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; 

  
 45 








 (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit (or participations therein) by, or any other acquisition of funds
by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or 
 (iii) shall
impose on such Lender any other condition (other than Taxes); 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such other
Credit Party, by an amount that such Lender or other Credit Party deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in
respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or such other Credit Party, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such other Credit Party for such increased cost or
reduced amount receivable. If any Lender or such other Credit Party becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason
of which it has become so entitled. 
 (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law
regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity
requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence
of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or
such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a
written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the
Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in any Requirement of
Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. 
 (d) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to
this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, that, if the
circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

  
 46 








 2.19. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan
Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the
deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including
such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.19), the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(b) The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the
Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes. 
 (c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a
Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.19, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) The Loan Parties shall
jointly and severally indemnify each Credit Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable
or paid by such Credit Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Credit Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on
behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within
10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties
to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative
Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to
the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing
to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). 

  
 47 








 (f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with
respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject
to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 2.19(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would
materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person, 
  

	 	(A)	any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax; 


 

	 	(B)	any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on
which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 


 

	 	(1)	in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form
W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS
Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 


 

	 	(2)	executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

  

	 	(3)	 in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is 



  
 48 









	 	
not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the
Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or 


 

	 	(4)	to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the
form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners
of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;


  

	 	(C)	any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on
which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis
for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the
withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

  

	 	(D)	if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender 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 Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the
amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 


  
 49 








 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.19 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments
made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the
indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been
in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall
not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.19 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any
assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under the Loan Documents. 

(i) For purposes of this Section 2.19, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lenders and the term
“applicable law” includes FATCA. 
 2.20. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each
Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice
requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment (including any payment made to a Lender in connection with a forced assignment by such Lender of Loans in accordance with Section 2.22 or Section 10.1) of Eurodollar Loans on a day
that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed,
converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that
would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of 

  
 50 








 
interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the
interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 2.21. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon
the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.18 or 2.19(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to
designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender
and its lending offices to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant
to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a). 
 2.22. Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that
(a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (c) does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of all Lenders, of each of the Lenders or of each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained), with a replacement financial
institution; provided, that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement
pursuant to clause (a) above, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.21 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), (iv) the replacement financial
institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender (including principal, interest and fees) on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under
Section 2.20 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution shall be a Lender or reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided, that the Borrower or replacement financial institution
shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.18
or 2.19(a), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. Each party hereto agrees that
an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party
thereto in order for such assignment to be effective. 
 2.23. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, but without prejudice to Section 2.22, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(a);

 (b) the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Extensions of Credit of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the
Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting
Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby; 

  
 51 








 (c) if any Swingline Exposure or L/C Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender then: 
 (i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than the
portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all
non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Extensions of Credit plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall
within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such portion of the Swingline Exposure not reallocated and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the
Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8 for so long as
such L/C Exposure is outstanding; 
 (iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s
L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period such
Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is cash collateralized; 
 (iv) if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is
reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.8(a) and Section 3.3(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentages; and 

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant
to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall
be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and 
 (d) so long
as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lenders shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related
exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.23(c),
and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.23(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not
participate therein). 

  
 52 








 If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent of any Lender shall occur
following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lenders or the Issuing Lender have a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements
in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lenders shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless a Swingline Lender or an
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender
hereunder. 
 In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each of the Swingline Lenders and each of the Issuing Lender agrees
that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance
with its Revolving Percentage. 
 2.24. Incremental Facilities. (a) The Borrower and any one or more Lenders (including New
Lenders) may from time to time agree that such Lenders shall make, obtain or increase the amount of their Incremental Term Loans (an “Incremental Term Facility”) or Revolving Commitments (“Increased Revolving
Commitments”; together with any Incremental Term Facility, the “Incremental Facilities”), as applicable, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Increased Facility Activation Notice specifying
(i) the amount of such increase, (ii) the applicable Increased Facility Closing Date, (iii) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, (x) the applicable Incremental Term Maturity Date, (y) the amortization schedule for such
Incremental Term Loans, and (z) the Applicable Margin for such Incremental Term Loans; provided, that (i) no Event of Default exists or would exist after giving effect to such Incremental Facility, (ii) on a pro forma basis
after giving effect to the incurrence of any such Incremental Facility (assuming, if such Incremental Facility consists of Increased Revolving Commitments, such Increased Revolving Commitments are fully drawn as of such date) and after giving effect
to other permitted pro forma adjustment events and any repayments of Indebtedness after the beginning of the relevant period but prior to or simultaneous with the incurrence of such Incremental Facility, (x) the Borrower shall be in compliance
with the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.1 recomputed as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower then most recently ended for which financial statements described in Section 6.1(a) or (b) have been delivered,
and (y) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal quarter shall be no greater than 4.00:1.00, (iii) the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV shall be true
and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to the extent any such representations and warranties are already qualified or modified by materiality, it being understood and agreed that any
representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date) immediately prior to, and after giving effect to, the incurrence of such
Incremental Facility, (iv) the maturity date and Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any such Incremental Term Facility shall be no earlier than (or the same as) the maturity date and Weighted Average Life to Maturity, respectively, of the
Term Loans, (v) the interest rates and amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereunder and (vi) any Increased Revolving Commitments shall be on terms and
pursuant to documentation applicable to the Revolving Facility (including the maturity date in respect thereof) and any Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation, to the extent such terms and documentation are
not consistent with, in the case of an Incremental Term Facility, the Term Facility (except to the extent permitted by clause (iv) and (v) above), reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (including as 

  
 53 








 
to the identity of the New Lenders); provided, that if the total yield (calculated for both the Incremental Term Loans and the Term Loans, including the upfront fees, any interest rate
floors and any OID (as defined below)) shared with all providers of such Incremental Term Loans, but excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all
providers of such financing, and without taking into account any fluctuations in the Eurodollar Rate or ABR in respect of any Incremental Term Loans exceeds the total yield for the existing Loans (it being understood that any such increase may take
the form of original issue discount (“OID”), with OID being equated to the interest rates in a manner determined by the Administrative Agent based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), the Applicable Margin for the Loans shall
be increased so that the total yield in respect of such Incremental Term Loans is no higher 0.50% greater than the total yield for the existing Term Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the consent of the Required Lenders, the
aggregate amount of Increased Revolving Commitments obtained after the Restatement Effective Date pursuant to this paragraph, together with the aggregate amount of Incremental Term Loans obtained after the Restatement Effective Date pursuant to this
paragraph, shall not exceed $40,000,000 and (ii) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, each increase effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount of at least $5,000,000. No Lender shall have any obligation to
participate in any increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion. 
 (b) Any additional bank,
financial institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with any
transaction described in Section 2.24(a) shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”), substantially in the form of Exhibit H-3, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a
“New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. 

(c) Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, on each Increased Facility Closing Date with respect to the Revolving Facility, the
Borrower shall borrow Revolving Loans under the relevant increased Revolving Commitments from each Lender participating in the relevant increase in an amount determined by reference to the amount of each Type of Loan (and, in the case of Eurodollar
Loans, of each Eurodollar Tranche) which would then have been outstanding from such Lender if (i) each such Type or Eurodollar Tranche had been borrowed or effected on such Increased Facility Closing Date and (ii) the aggregate amount of
each such Type or Eurodollar Tranche requested to be so borrowed or effected had been proportionately increased. The Eurodollar Base Rate applicable to any Eurodollar Loan borrowed pursuant to the preceding sentence shall equal the Eurodollar Base
Rate then applicable to the Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders in the same Eurodollar Tranche (or, until the expiration of the then-current Interest Period, such other rate as shall be agreed upon between the Borrower and the relevant Lender.

 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, on each Increased Facility
Activation Date, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loans evidenced thereby. Any such deemed amendment may be effected in writing by the
Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto. 
 2.25.
Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Commitments. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all
Lenders of Term Loans with a like maturity date or Revolving Commitments with a like maturity date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Commitments with a


  
 54 








 
like maturity date, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that
accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms
of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such
Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original Revolving Commitments (in each
case not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a
separate tranche of Revolving Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 shall be satisfied at
the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer),
the Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender that agrees to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”; and the Loans thereunder, “Extended Revolving Loans”), and the related outstandings, shall be a
Revolving Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings); provided, that (x) subject to the provisions of Sections 2.6(c) and 3.1(c) to the
extent dealing with Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments with a longer maturity date, all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated in on
a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments in accordance with their Revolving Percentages (and except as provided in Sections 2.6(c) and 3.1(c), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity date with respect to
Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued) and all borrowings under Revolving Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on
Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Revolving Commitments) and (y) at no time shall there be Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Extended
Revolving Commitments) that have more than four different maturity dates, (iii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to
immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v) and (vi), be determined between the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans extended
pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer until the maturity of such Term Loans, (iv) the final maturity date of any Extended Term
Loans shall be no earlier than the then latest maturity date hereunder and the amortization schedule applicable to Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.3 for periods prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, may not be increased,
(v) the weighted average life of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life of the Term Loans extended thereby, (vi) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro
rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer, (vii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated
on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount
of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case
may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as 

  
 55 








 
the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer, (viii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, (ix) any applicable Minimum Extension
Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower and (x) the Minimum Tranche Amount shall be satisfied unless waived by the Administrative Agent. 

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute
voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 or 2.17 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided, that (x) the Borrower may at its
election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and
may be waived by the Borrower) of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable tranches be tendered and (y) no tranche of Extended Term Loans shall be in an amount of less than $15,000,000 (or, if less, the then
aggregate outstanding amount of the Term Loans) (the “Minimum Tranche Amount”), unless such Minimum Tranche Amount is waived by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions
contemplated by this Section (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension
Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 or 2.17 or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section).

 (c) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of
each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Commitments, the consent of the Issuing Lender and
the Swingline Lenders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Loans and all obligations of any Loan Party in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral and guaranteed on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to
enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments
as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section. Without limiting
the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage (i) that states a maturity date prior to the then latest
maturity date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest maturity date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent), (ii) in connection with such amendments the Loan Parties shall (at their
expense) deliver to the Administrative Agent a date-down endorsement or equivalent document to the title insurance policy covering the Mortgages that are being amended and (iii) if requested by the Administrative Agent, an opinion of local
counsel in each jurisdiction in which a Mortgage is being amended. 
 (d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the
Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments
and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of
this Section.

 SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT 

3.1. L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the
other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be
approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided, that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment
or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Agreed Currencies and (ii) expire no later than the first anniversary of its date of
issuance, unless consented to by the Issuing Lender; provided, that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods; provided further, that in the event any such
Letter of Credit expires after or is renewed beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, such Letter of Credit shall be cash collateralized or otherwise credit supported to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender on or prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date. 

(b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the
Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law 
 (c) If the maturity date in
respect of any tranche of Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Commitments in respect of which the maturity date shall not have occurred are then in
effect, (x) the outstanding Revolving Loans shall be repaid pursuant to Section 2.10 on such maturity date in an amount sufficient to permit the reallocation of the L/C Obligations relating to the outstanding Letters of Credit contemplated
by clause (y) below and (y) such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make payments in respect
thereof pursuant to Section 3.4) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the Revolving Commitments in respect of
such non-terminating tranches at such time (it being understood that (A) the participations therein of Revolving Lenders under the maturing tranche shall be correspondingly released and (B) no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit
may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), but without limiting the obligations with respect thereto, the Borrower shall cash collateralize any such Letter of Credit in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender. If, for any reason, such cash collateral is not provided or the reallocation does not occur, the Revolving Lenders under the maturing tranche shall continue to be
responsible for their participating interests in the Letters of Credit; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon any subsequent repayment of the Revolving Loans, the reallocation set forth in clause
(i) shall automatically and concurrently occur to the extent of such repayment (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated). Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to
clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, the occurrence of a maturity date with respect to a given tranche of Revolving Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Lenders in
any Letter of Credit issued before such maturity date. Commencing with the maturity date of any tranche of Revolving Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit under any tranche of Revolving Commitments that has not so then matured shall be as
agreed with such Revolving Lenders; provided that in no event shall such sublimit be less than the sum of (x) the L/C Obligations of the Revolving Lenders under such extended tranche immediately prior to such maturity date and
(y) the face amount of the Letters of Credit reallocated to such tranche of Revolving Commitments pursuant to clause (i) above (assuming Revolving Loans are repaid in accordance with clause (i)(x)). 

  
 57 








 3.2. Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time
request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the currency of the requested Letter
of Credit), completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such
Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures (including receiving information from the Administrative Agent that there is sufficient
availability under the L/C Commitment and the Revolving Commitment) and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days
after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to
by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in
turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof). 
 3.3. Fees and
Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the
Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears in Dollars on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date (and based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof, in the case of Foreign Currency Letters of Credit). In addition, the Borrower shall pay to
the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears in Dollars on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date (and based on the
Dollar Equivalent thereof, in the case of Foreign Currency Letters of Credit). 
 (b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall
pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit. 

3.4. L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to
induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C
Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft
paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement (or in the event that any reimbursement received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by it at any time), such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for
notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount that is not so reimbursed (or is so returned). Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other 

  
 58 








 
Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5,
(iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
 (b) If any amount required to be paid by any
L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date
such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average NYFRB Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such
amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled
to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C
Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
 (c) Whenever, at
any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment
related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C
Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return
to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it. 
 3.5. Reimbursement Obligation of the
Borrower. If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid (and in the applicable currency) and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or
expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such draft, if such notice is received on such day prior to
10:00 A.M., New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice; provided that, in the case of amounts denominated in Available
Foreign Currencies, in the event any such amount is not paid when due, such amount shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be converted to an amount in Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing
Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full (x) in the case of amounts
denominated in Dollars at the rate set forth in (A) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice (or, if later, the Borrower’s receipt of the notice of drawing described in Section 3.7), Section 2.14(b)
and (B) thereafter, Section 2.14(c) and (y) in the case of amounts denominated in Available Foreign Currencies, the rate determined by the Issuing Lender as its cost of funding such amounts. 

  
 59 








 3.6. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall
be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other
Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or
genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party
to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay
in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done
in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower. 

3.7. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall
promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation
expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of
Credit. 
 3.8. Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with
the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply. 
 SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters
of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that: 
 4.1. Financial Condition.
(a) The projected pro forma balance sheets of Bioventus Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016 (including the notes thereto) (collectively, the “2016 Pro Forma Balance
Sheet”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, have been prepared after giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date (in the case of the 2016 Pro Forma Balance Sheet)) to the Bioventus IPO
Transactions. The 2016 Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared in good faith based on the best information available to the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, and presents a good faith estimate of the financial position of the Borrower
and its consolidated subsidiaries as at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016, as applicable, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such dates and based on the assumed amount of proceeds from
the Bioventus IPO stated therein. 
 (b) The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the
full year ended December 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, present
fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited


  
 60 








 
consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as at April 2, 2016, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the
three-month period ended on such date, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the
three-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied
consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). Immediately prior to the Restatement Effective Date, no Group Member has any material Guarantee Obligations,
contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that
are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph and are required to be set forth in such financial statements in accordance with GAAP. During the period from December 31, 2015 to and including the date
hereof there has been no Disposition by any Group Member of any material part of its business or property. 
 4.2. No Change. Since
December 31, 2015, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

4.3. Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged,
(c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and
(d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except in the case referred to in clause (b) (other than with respect to the Borrower), (c) or (d), to the extent that the failure to comply therewith or to have such power would not,
in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.4. Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.
Each Loan Party has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all
necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement
or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and
(ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a
legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 

4.5. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of
Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to any Group Member or any Contractual Obligation of any Group Member and will not result in, or require, the creation or
imposition 

  
 61 








 
of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents).
No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

4.6. Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or
(b) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.7. No Default. No Group Member is in default under
or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

4.8. Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Group Member has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real
property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other property, except where the failure to have such title or valid leasehold interest would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and
none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3. 
 4.9. Intellectual Property. Each Group Member
owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, except to the extent that the failure to own or have a license to use any such Intellectual Property would not, in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any
Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim, in each case, except to the extent that any such claims would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge
of the Group Members, the conduct of the business of each Group Member does not infringe the Intellectual Property rights of any Person in any material respect. 

4.10. Taxes. Except as would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each Group Member
has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other Tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other
Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves
in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Group Member) and (ii) no Tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such Tax, fee or other charge.

 4.11. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used
(a) for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect for any purpose that violates the
provisions of the Regulations of the Board or (b) for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. No more than 25% of the assets of the Group Members consist of “margin stock” as so defined. If requested
by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in
Regulation U. 

  
 62 








 4.12. Labor Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Group Member pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees of each Group Member have not
been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from any Group Member on account of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued
as a liability on the books of the relevant Group Member. 
 4.13. ERISA. (a) Each Group Member and each of their respective
ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the provisions of the Code relating to Plans and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder; (b) no ERISA Event or Foreign Plan Event has occurred or is
reasonably expected to occur; and (c) all amounts required by applicable law with respect to, or by the terms of, any retiree welfare benefit arrangement maintained by any Group Member or any ERISA Affiliate or to which any Group Member or any
ERISA Affiliate has an obligation to contribute have been accrued in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106. Except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse
Effect, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Pension Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Accounting Standards Codification No. 715: Compensation-Retirement Benefits) did not, as of the date of the
most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Pension Plan allocable to such accrued benefits, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension
Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Accounting Standards Codification No. 715: Compensation-Retirement Benefits) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market
value of the assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans. No Loan Party is an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA)
which is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code), and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making of Loans hereunder gives rise to a Prohibited Transaction. 

4.14. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness, or which otherwise may render all or any portion of its
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents unenforceable. 
 4.15. Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed to the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower in writing from time to time after the Restatement Effective Date, (a) Schedule 4.15 sets forth the name and jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage
of each class of Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party, and whether such Subsidiary is a Guarantor or an Unrestricted Subsidiary and (b) there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments
(other than stock options granted to employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of any Subsidiary, except as set forth on Schedule 4.15 or as created by the Loan Documents. 

4.16. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used to finance a portion of the Bioventus IPO Transactions, to pay
related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes (including, without limitation, acquisitions permitted under this Agreement). The proceeds of the Revolving Loans, the Swingline Loans and any Incremental Facilities, and the Letters of
Credit, shall be used for working capital needs and general corporate purposes of Group Members (including, without limitation, acquisitions permitted under this Agreement). 

  
 63 








 4.17. Environmental Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect: 
 (a) the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by any Group Member (the
“Properties”) do not contain, and to the Borrower’s knowledge have not previously contained, any Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations or under circumstances that constitute or constituted a violation
of, or could give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law; 
 (b) no Group Member has received or is aware of any notice of violation,
alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the business operated by any Group Member (the
“Business”), nor does the Borrower have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened; 

(c) Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a
location that could give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could
give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law; 
 (d) no judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is
pending or, to the knowledge the Borrower, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which any Group Member is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent
orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business;

use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished (or, in the case of the Confidential Information
Memorandum, as of the date of this Agreement), any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. The projections and pro forma

 4.19. Security Documents. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to
create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Pledged Stock described in the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement, when stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent (together with a properly completed and signed stock power or endorsement), and in the case of the other Collateral described in
the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 4.19(a) in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19(a), the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall

each case to the extent that a security interest therein may be perfected by the filing of financing statements under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, possession or control of such Pledged Stock or by filings with the U.S. Copyright Office
and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by Section 7.3). 

(b) Each of the Mortgages is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and
enforceable Lien on the Mortgaged Properties described therein and proceeds thereof, and when the Mortgages are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19(b), each such Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and
security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the relevant Mortgage), in each case prior and superior in right to any
other Person (except that the security interest created in such property may be subject to the Liens permitted by Section 7.3). Schedule 1.1B lists, as of the Restatement Effective Date, each parcel of owned real property and each
leasehold interest in real property located in the United States and held by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that has a value, in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower, in excess of $1,000,000.

employees, and to the knowledge of the Borrower its directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of (a) the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their respective
directors, officers or employees, or (b) to the knowledge of the Borrower, any agent of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned

responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. 
 9.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any
of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible
for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 
 9.3. Exculpatory
Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own
gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any
Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. 

  
 94 








 9.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely,
and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders)
as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent
shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such
request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. 

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

9.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of
a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own
decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to
the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative
Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or
creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 

  
 95 








 9.7. Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify each Agent and its
officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably
according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans
shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments,
this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with
any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final
and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment
of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 9.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make
loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated
in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall
include each Agent in its individual capacity. 
 9.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as
Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among
the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the
Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such
successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former
Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of
resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its
benefit. 
 9.10. Arrangers and Syndication Agent. Neither the Arrangers nor the Syndication Agent shall have any duties or
responsibilities hereunder in their respective capacities as such. 

  
 96 








 SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS 

10.1. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended,
supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case
may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or
modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee
payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders of each adversely affected Facility)
and (y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any
payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of
any Lender under this Section 10.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement,
in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.17 without the written consent of all Lenders in respect of each Facility adversely affected thereby; (v) reduce the
amount of Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow required to be applied to prepay Loans under this Agreement without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to each Facility adversely affected thereby; (vi) reduce the

of any Loan Document that affects the Administrative Agent without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; (viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.6 or 2.7 without the written consent of the Swingline Lenders;
(ix) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 without the written consent of the Issuing Lender; (x) amend Section 2.23 without the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lenders
and the Issuing Lender; (xi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8.2 without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; or (xii) amend Section 3.1(c) without the consent of Lenders
holding more than 50% of the Revolving Commitments in respect of the applicable maturing Revolving Commitments (or, if the Revolving Commitments in respect of such tranche have been terminated, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit then
outstanding in respect of such maturing tranche); provided further that (A) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent to incorporate the terms of any Extension or any
Incremental Facility, (B) after the Restatement Effective Date, the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 may be waived solely with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the Revolving Facility and (C) this Agreement
may be amended solely with the consent of the Borrower and the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to the applicable Facility with respect to any amendments or modifications that affect only such Facility (it being understood that increases in
the Applicable Margin, amendments or modifications to the amortization of the Term Loans as in effect on the Restatement Effective Date, any amendment to the Maturity Date such that the Term Loans mature prior to the Maturity Date as in effect on
the Restatement Effective Date and any waiver of conditions to the provision of any Incremental Facility shall be deemed to affect each Facility). Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the
Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the 

  
 97 








 
Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former
position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or
impair any right consequent thereon. To the extent that this Section 10.1 requires the consent of all Lenders to any amendment, waiver or modification, a Defaulting Lender’s vote shall not be included; provided, that (i) such
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment may not be increased or extended without its consent and (ii) the principal amount of, or interest or fees payable on, Loans or L/C Disbursements may not be reduced or excused or the scheduled date of payment
may not be postponed as to such Defaulting Lender without such Defaulting Lender’s consent. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower, may amend, modify or supplement any Loan
Document without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document; provided, that such
amendment, modification or supplement to correct, amend or cure an ambiguity, inconsistency or defect may not be materially adverse to the Lenders. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to
share in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit
facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Majority Facility Lenders. 
 In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing, replacement or modification of all outstanding
Term Loans (“Replaced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”), provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not
exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Replaced Term Loans, (b) the applicable margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Replaced Term Loans and (c) the Weighted Average Life to
Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replaced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing.

reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower (i) prior to the Closing Date
(in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date), prior to the Restatement Effective Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Restatement Effective Date) and (iii) from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other
periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lenders and the Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the

 99 








 
paying, stamp, excise and other similar Taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any
of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold
each Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lenders and the Administrative Agent, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, representatives and controlling persons (each, an
“Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the
execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party
thereto and whether or not the same are brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, affiliates or creditors or any other Person, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or
liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any
Loan Party under any Loan Document and any losses, costs and expenses relating to the conversion of any amount due hereunder in an Available Foreign Currency into Dollars (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”); provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities (x) are found by a final and nonappealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Affiliates or (y) arise from claims of any Indemnitee solely against one or more Indemnitees that have not
resulted from the action, inaction, participation or contribution of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, representatives or advisors, and provided, further, that this Section 10.5(d) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other
than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim; and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be required to pay or reimburse the fees or disbursements of more than one counsel to the Indemnitees taken as
a whole (and in the case of a conflict of interests among or between Indemnitees, one additional counsel to each affected Indemnitee and, if necessary, one local counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole in each appropriate jurisdiction). Without
limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any
other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or
otherwise against any Indemnitee. No Group Member or Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission
systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Affiliates. No Group
Member or Indemnitee shall be liable for any indirect, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. All amounts due under this
Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to Jeanne Forneris (Telephone No. (919) 474-6756) (Telecopy No.
(919) 474-6802) (Email: jeanne.forneris@bioventusglobal.com), at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the
Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

  
 100 








 10.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that
(i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and
void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than the Borrower
or any of its Affiliates) (each, an “Assignee”), other than a natural person, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it)
with the prior written consent of: 
  

	 	(A)	the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below)
or, if an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Borrower
shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof by overnight courier, facsimile or email; 


 

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

  

	 	(C)	the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lenders, only if such assignment is of Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loan. 

  

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

  

	 	(A)	except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the
amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than
$1,000,000 (in the case of Term Loans) and $5,000,000 (in the case of the Revolving Facility) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 


  
 101 









	 	(B)	(1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (2) the assigning Lender shall
have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; and 

  

	 	(C)	the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information
(which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s
compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. 

 For the purposes of this
Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and
that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of
this Section. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of
its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations
owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the
Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the
Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment
required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless
it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 

  
 102 








 (c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to
which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (i) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second
sentence of Section 10.1 and (ii) directly affects such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the
provisions of Section 2.22 with respect to any Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19 and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the
requirements under Section 2.19(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.19(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.21 and 2.22 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section
and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.18 or 2.19, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a
greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation
shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, 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 or
other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of
any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such
Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 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, the Administrative Agent (in its
capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

  
 103 








 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;
provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest, or any enforcement or foreclosure thereof, shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto. The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in this paragraph (d); provided, that a transfer of any Note
may be effected only by the surrender of the original Note and either re-issuance by the Borrower of the original Note to a new holder or the issuance by the Borrower of a new Note to a new holder. 

10.7. Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement or a court order expressly provides for payments to be
allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an
assignment made pursuant to Section 10.6), or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.1(f), or otherwise), in a
greater proportion than any such payment to or Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest
in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such Collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such
Collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price
and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; provided, further, that to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligation,” no amounts received
from, or set off with respect to, any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor. 
 (b) In addition to
any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming
due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in
any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their
respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set-off shall be paid over immediately to the
Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such
Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such application. 
 10.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties
to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by email or facsimile
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

  
 104 








 10.9. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 10.10. Integration. This Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and the Fee Letter represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; provided, that nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document will prevent any Lender or the Administrative Agent from

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; 

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and

(a) The Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars shall not be discharged or
satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the
respective Lender or the Issuing Lender of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or the Issuing Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or
enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than Dollars (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment
