825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or

SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS 

2.1. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (a
“Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount equal to the amount of the Commitment of such Lender. The Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.12.

Closing Date and specifying the amount to be borrowed. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. The Administrative Agent shall credit the account of the Borrower on the books of such office of
the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders in immediately available funds. 

2.3. Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on the Maturity Date.

2.9. [Reserved]. 
 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; provided, further that in the event of any prepayment of Loans made (i) prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Lenders with respect to such Loans, a
prepayment premium equal to 3% of the principal amount of the Loans so prepaid, (ii) on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Lenders
with respect to such Loans a prepayment premium equal to 2% of the principal amount of the Loans so prepaid and (iii) on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower
shall pay to the applicable Lenders with respect to such Loans a prepayment premium equal to 1% of the principal amount of the Loans to prepaid. 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 accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Loans shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Each payment pursuant to this Section on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be applied as provided in Section 2.17(b). 

  
 27 








 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 Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(d). 
 (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 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 Loans 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 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, (x) the aggregate amount of all optional prepayments
of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.10 made during such fiscal year and (y) the aggregate amount of all optional prepayments of the First Lien Term Loans and any term loans under any First Lien Incremental Facility pursuant to
Section 2.10 of the First Lien Credit Agreement 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 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 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 

  
 28 








 
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 Loans pursuant to Section 2.11; provided, that no such prepayment of the 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 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). 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.11, if any 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”) may be retained by the Borrower. 
 (g) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.11, any prepayments required by this Section 2.11 shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by any mandatory prepayments of the First Lien Term Loans and any term loans under First
Lien Incremental Facility made by the Borrower under Section 2.11 of the First Lien Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof). 

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 may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit
such conversions. Upon 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 may be continued as such (i) when
any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders 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. 

  
 29 








 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. 

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 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 (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any 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 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 

  
 30 








 (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders
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 requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have
been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until
such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans. 

2.17. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder and each payment by the
Borrower on account of any fee hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the respective Loan Percentages of the relevant Lenders. 
 (b)
Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders. The amount of each
mandatory principal prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Loans and Incremental 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 Loans pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Loans and Incremental Loans, as the case may be, in such order
as the Borrower may direct. Amounts prepaid on account of the Loans may not be reborrowed. 
 (c) [Reserved]. 

(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. 

(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 

  
 31 








 
amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Closing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest
thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender
makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If
such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest
thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans, 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 Federal Funds Effective 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 2.17(e), 2.17(f), 2.19(e) 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 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; 
 (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); 

  
 32 








 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 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 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. 
 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. 

  
 33 








 (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). 

(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, 

  
 34 









	 	(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 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 



  
 35 









	 	
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. 


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 

  
 36 








 
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 “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 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). 

  
 37 








 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) or (b) 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 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 (including
principal, interest and fees) 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. [Reserved]. 

2.24. Incremental Facility. (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 Loans (an “Incremental Facility”), 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) the applicable Incremental Maturity Date, (vi) the amortization schedule for such Incremental Facility and (v) the Applicable Margin for such
Incremental 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 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, (y) the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal quarter shall be no greater than 3.00:1.00 and (z) 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 Facility shall be no earlier than (or the same as) the maturity date and Weighted Average Life to Maturity, respectively, of the Loans, (v) the interest rates and amortization
schedule applicable to any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereunder and (vi) any Incremental Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation, to the 

  
 38 








 
extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the initial Loans hereunder (except to the extent permitted by clause (iv) and (v) above), reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent (including as to the identity of the New Lenders); provided, that if the total yield (calculated for both the Incremental Loans and the Loans, including the upfront fees, any interest rate floors and any OID (as defined
below)) shared with all providers of such Incremental 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 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 Loans is no higher 0.50% greater than the total yield for the existing Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the consent of the Required Lenders, the aggregate amount of Incremental Loans obtained
after the Closing Date pursuant to this paragraph, together with the aggregate amount of any Increased Revolving Commitments and any First Lien Incremental Term Loans, shall not exceed $25,000,000 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) [Reserved]. 

(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 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 Loans. (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 Loans with a like
maturity date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Loans with a like maturity date) 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 Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension
Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Loans (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each
group of Loans (in each case not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Loans from the tranche of Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:
(i) each of the conditions set forth in Section 5(q) and (r) shall be satisfied as of the date an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders (with references to the Closing Date therein modified to be the date such Extension Offer is
delivered), (ii)

  
 39 








 
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
(iii), (iv) and (v), be determined between the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Loans of any Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Loans extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended
Loans”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of Loans subject to such Extension Offer until the maturity of such Loans, (iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Loans shall be no earlier than the then latest maturity date
hereunder and such Extended Loans shall not amortize prior to the latest maturity date hereunder (as determined prior to the date of such Extension), (iv) the weighted average life of any Extended Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining
weighted average life of the Loans extended thereby, (v) any Extended 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, (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer, then
the Loans of such Lenders 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 Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer,
(vii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower and (ix) 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 2.10, 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 Loans of any or all applicable tranches be tendered and (y) no tranche of Extended Loans shall be in an amount of less than $10,000,000 (or, if less,
the then aggregate outstanding amount of the 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 Loans 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 2.10, 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 the consent of each Lender
agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans (or a portion thereof). All Extended 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 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 

  
 40 








 
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. [RESERVED] 
 SECTION 4.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the
Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that: 
 4.1. Financial Condition. (a) The
unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as at June 30, 2014 (including the notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”) and the related pro forma statement of
operations of the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Pro Forma Statement of Operations”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, have been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred
(i) on such date (in the case of the Pro Forma Balance Sheet) and (ii) at the beginning of such period (in the case of the Pro Forma Statement of Operations)) to the Transactions. The 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, 2014, assuming that the
events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date (in the case of the Pro Forma Balance Sheet) or at the beginning of such period (in the case of the Pro Forma Statement of Operations). 

(b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the partial year ended December 31,
2012 and the full year ended December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, 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 consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month and six-month
periods 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 and
six-month periods 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 Closing 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, 2013 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, 2013, 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 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 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

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. 
 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. 

  
 43 








 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 Closing 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 Loans shall be used to finance a portion of the Transactions, to pay related fees and
expenses and for general corporate purposes (including, without limitation, acquisitions permitted under this Agreement). The proceeds of the Incremental Facility shall be used for working capital needs and general corporate purposes of Group
Members (including, without limitation, acquisitions permitted under this Agreement). 
 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; 

  
 44 








 (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; 

(e) there has been no release or threat of release of Materials of Environmental Concern at or from the Properties, or arising from or related
to the operations of any Group Member in connection with the Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business, in violation of or in amounts or in a manner that could give rise to liability under Environmental Laws; 

(f) the Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance, and have in the last two years been in compliance, with all
applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no contamination at, under or about the Properties or violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business; and 

(g) no Group Member has assumed any liability of any other Person under Environmental Laws. 

4.18. Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Confidential
Information Memorandum or any other document, certificate or written (or unwritten if provided as part of a formal presentation) statement furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, for
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
financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial
information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. 

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 

  
 45 








 
form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19(a), the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title
and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in 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 for Liens arising under the First Lien Security Documents and, 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, subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement, 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 Closing 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. 

4.20. Solvency. On a consolidated basis, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are, and after giving effect to the Transaction will be,
Solvent. 
 4.21. Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures
designed to ensure compliance by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and
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
Person. No Loan, use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions.

(h) one or more judgments or decrees shall be entered against any Group Member involving in the aggregate a liability (not paid
or fully covered by insurance as to which the relevant insurance company has acknowledged coverage) of $5,000,000 or more, and all such judgments or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 30 days from
the entry thereof; or 
 (i) any of the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement shall cease, for any reason, to be
in full force and effect, or any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party shall so assert, or any Lien created by any of the Security Documents shall cease to be enforceable and of the same effect and priority purported to be created thereby
(and, for the avoidance of doubt, as required by the Intercreditor Agreement); or 
 (j) the guarantee contained in
Section 2 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall cease, for any reason, to be in full force and effect or any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party shall so assert; or 

(k) a Change in Control shall occur; 

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect
to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable, and
(B) if such event is any other Event of Default, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans
(with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. Except as expressly provided above in this
Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. 
 8.2. Application
of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its remedies shall be
applied, in full or in part, together with any other sums then held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, promptly by the Administrative Agent as follows: 

(a) First, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, fees, commissions and taxes of such sale, collection or
other realization including compensation to the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith and all amounts for which the
Administrative Agent is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of any Loan Document, together with interest on each such amount pursuant to Section 2.14 from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in
full; 

  
 71 








 (b) Second, to the payment of all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of such sale, collection or other realization including compensation to the other Secured Parties and their agents and counsel and all costs, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the other Secured Parties in connection therewith,
together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full; 

(c) Third, to the payment in full in cash of the principal amount of the Obligations, any interest and premium thereon
and any breakage, termination or other payments under agreements giving rise to Obligations and any interest accrued thereon; and 

(d) Fourth, the balance remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full, if any, to the person lawfully
entitled thereto (including the applicable Loan Party or its successors or assigns) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 

In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in clauses (a) through (d) of this
Section 8.2, the Loan Parties shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency. 
 SECTION 9. THE AGENTS 

9.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to
exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or 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 

  
 72 








 
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. 
 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 

  
 73 








 
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. 

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 Loan Percentages in
effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Loan 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, 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 an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Lenders may remove the Administrative Agent from such role upon 15 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Such resignation or removal shall
take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below in this Section 9.9. Upon any such notice of resignation by, or notice of removal of, the Administrative Agent, 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 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). Upon such appointment, 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 

  
 74 








 
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. 
 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 Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable
hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders) and (y) that any amendment or modification of
defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, 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 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 Required Lenders; (vi) amend, modify
or waive any provision of Section 9 or any other provision of any Loan Document that affects the Administrative Agent without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; or (vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of
Section 8.2 without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided further that 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. 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 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. 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. 


  
 75 








 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender consent shall be required to effect any amendment or
supplement to the Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement entered into in replacement of the Intercreditor Agreement and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that is expressly contemplated by the Intercreditor
Agreement or such other intercreditor agreement. 
 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 Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders
holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders. 
 In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement
may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing, replacement or modification of all outstanding Loans
(“Replaced Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche hereunder (“Replacement Loans”), provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Loans shall not exceed the aggregate
principal amount of such Replaced Loans, (b) the applicable margin for such Replacement Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Replaced Loans and (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Loans
shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replaced Loans at the time of such refinancing.

Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of counsel (including
the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel), (c) without duplication of Section 2.19(b), to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all

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 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 

  
 77 








 
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 (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 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. 
 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, 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: 

  
 78 









	 	(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; and 


 

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


  

	 	(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, 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 unless
each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in
respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 

  

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

  

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

 For the purposes of this
Section 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. 

  
 79 








 (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 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 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. 
 (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 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 

  
 80 








 
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 or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan 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. 
 (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, 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. 

  
 81 








 (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 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. 
 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

 82 








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

(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

 (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or
