W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested, and the US Lenders have agreed to make available to the US Borrower and the Canadian Lenders have agreed to make available to the Canadian Borrower, a revolving
credit facility (including a letter of credit subfacility) to (a) refinance Prior Indebtedness, (b) provide for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and (c) fund certain fees and

WHEREAS, the Canadian Borrower desires to secure all of the Canadian Obligations by granting to Canadian Agent, for the benefit of the

 WHEREAS, Thermon Holding

all of the Canadian Obligations and to grant to Canadian Agent, for the benefit of the Canadian Secured Parties, a security interest in and lien on substantially all of its Property to secure the Canadian Obligations; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as
follows: 
 ARTICLE I - 
 THE CREDITS 
 1.1 Amounts and Terms of Commitments. 

(a) Reserved. 
 (b) The Revolving Credits. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein, each US
Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Loans denominated in Dollars to the US Borrower (each such Loan, a “US Revolving Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the Final
Availability Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule 1.1(b) under the heading “US Revolving Loan Commitments” (such amount as the same may
be reduced or increased from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, being referred to herein as such Lender’s “US Revolving Loan Commitment”); provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Borrowing of US Revolving
Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding US Revolving Loans shall not exceed the Maximum US Revolving Loan Balance. Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, amounts borrowed under this subsection 1.1(b)(i) may be repaid and
reborrowed from time to time. The “Maximum US Revolving Loan Balance” from time to time will be the lesser of: 
 (x) the “US Borrowing Base” (as calculated pursuant to the US Borrowing Base Certificate) in effect from time to time, or 

(y) the Aggregate US Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect; 
 less, in either case, the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of US Letter of Credit Obligations, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding US Swing Loans, (iii) the US Dollar
Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of Canadian Revolving Loans and Canadian Swing Loans, (iv) the US Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations and Reserves established by Canadian Agent
and (v) such Reserves as may be imposed by US Agent in its reasonable credit judgment. If at any time the then outstanding principal balance of US Revolving Loans exceeds the Maximum US Revolving Loan Balance, then the US Borrower shall
prepay, or cause to be prepaid, outstanding Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence thereof; provided, no such prepayment shall be required provided such excess
(i) does not exceed three percent (3%)
  

 2 








 
of the Maximum US Revolving Loan Balance, (ii) is solely attributable to a change in the exchange rate between Dollars and Canadian Dollars, (iii) in no event causes or results in any
US Revolving Loans held by Lender to exceed such Lender’s US Revolving Loan Commitment and (iv) shall be reduced to zero ($0) in connection with the recalculation of the US Borrowing Base pursuant to and concurrently with the delivery of
the next Borrowing Base Certificate as required by subsection 4.2(d) hereof (provided, for purposes of clarity, if such excess is not reduced to zero ($0) as a result of the such recalculation, such excess shall be repaid within five
(5) Business Days after the required delivery of such Borrowing Base Certificate). 
 (ii) Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein, each Canadian Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Loans denominated in either Dollars or Canadian
Dollars to the Canadian Borrower (each such Loan, a “Canadian Revolving Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the Final Availability Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any
time outstanding the US Dollar Equivalent of the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule 1.1(b) under the heading “Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments” (such amount as the same may be reduced or increased from
time to time in accordance with this Agreement, being referred to herein as such Lender’s “Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment”); provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Borrowing of Canadian Revolving Loans, the aggregate
principal amount of all outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans shall not exceed the Maximum Canadian Revolving Loan Balance. Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, amounts borrowed under this subsection 1.1(b)(ii) may be repaid and
reborrowed from time to time. The “Maximum Canadian Revolving Loan Balance” from time to time will be the lesser of: 
 (x) the “Canadian Borrowing Base” (as calculated pursuant to the Canadian Borrowing Base Certificate) in effect from time to time, or 

(y) the Aggregate Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect; 

less, in either case, the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of the US Dollar Equivalent of all Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations,
(ii) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Canadian Swing Loans, (iii) the amount by which the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of US Revolving Loans and US Swing Loans, (y) aggregate amount of US Letter of
Credit Obligations and (z) Reserves imposed by US Agent, exceeds $20,000,000 and (iv) such Reserves as may be imposed by Canadian Agent in its reasonable credit judgment. If at any time the then outstanding principal balance of
Canadian Revolving Loans exceeds the Maximum Canadian Revolving Loan Balance, then the Canadian Borrower shall prepay outstanding Canadian Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, within five (5) Business Days after the
occurrence thereof; provided, no such prepayment shall be required provided such excess (i) does not exceed three percent (3%) of the Maximum Canadian Revolving Loan Balance, (ii) is solely attributable to a change in the exchange
rate between Dollars and Canadian Dollars, (iii) in no event causes or results in any Canadian Revolving Loans held by Lender to exceed such Lender’s Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment and (iv) shall be reduced to zero ($0) in

  

 3 








 
connection with the recalculation of the Canadian Borrowing Base pursuant to and concurrently with the delivery of the next Borrowing Base Certificate as required by subsection 4.2(d) hereof
(provided, for purposes of clarity, if such excess is not reduced to zero ($0) as a result of the such recalculation, such excess shall be repaid within five (5) Business Days after the required delivery of such Borrowing Base Certificate).

 (c) US Letters of Credit. (i) Conditions. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the
US Borrower may request that one or more US L/C Issuers Issue, in accordance with such US L/C Issuers’ usual and customary business practices, and for the account of the US Credit Parties, US Letters of Credit (denominated in Dollars) from time
to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the earlier of (x) the Final Availability Date and (y) seven (7) days prior to the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of Revolving
Termination Date; provided, however, that no US L/C Issuer shall Issue any US Letter of Credit during the continuance of any of the following or, if after giving effect to such Issuance: 

(A)(i) US Availability would be less than zero, or (ii) the US Dollar Equivalent of all Letter of Credit Obligations
for all Letters of Credit would exceed the US Dollar Equivalent of $15,000,000 (the “L/C Sublimit”); 

(B) the expiration date of such US Letter of Credit (i) is not a Business Day, (ii) is more than one year after
the date of issuance thereof or (iii) is later than seven (7) days prior to the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of Revolving Termination Date; provided, however, that any US Letter of Credit with a term not exceeding
one year may provide for its renewal for additional periods not exceeding one year as long as (x) each of the US Borrower and such US L/C Issuer have the option to prevent such renewal before the expiration of such term or any such period and
(y) neither such US L/C Issuer nor the US Borrower shall permit any such renewal to extend such expiration date beyond the date set forth in clause (iii) above; or 

(C)(i) any fee due in connection with, and on or prior to, such Issuance has not been paid, (ii) such US Letter of
Credit is requested to be issued in a form that is not acceptable to such US L/C Issuer or (iii) such US L/C Issuer shall not have received, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and duly executed by the US Borrower, the
documents that such US L/C Issuer generally uses in the Ordinary Course of Business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such US Letter of Credit (collectively, the “US L/C Reimbursement Agreement”). 

Furthermore, GE Capital as a US L/C Issuer may elect only to issue US Letters of Credit in its own name and may only issue US Letters of Credit to the
extent permitted by Requirements of Law, and such US Letters of Credit may not be accepted by certain beneficiaries such as insurance companies. For each Issuance, the applicable US L/C Issuer may, but shall not be required to, determine that, or
take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the Issuance of any US Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no US Letters of Credit shall be Issued during the period
starting on the first Business Day after the receipt by such US L/C Issuer of notice from US Agent or the Required Lenders that any condition precedent contained in Section 2.2 is not satisfied and ending on the date all such conditions are
satisfied or duly waived. 
  

 4 








 Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, if any US Lender is a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted
Lender, no US L/C Issuer shall be obligated to Issue any US Letter of Credit unless (w) the Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender has been replaced in accordance with Section 9.9 or 9.22, (x) the Letter of Credit Obligations of such
Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been cash collateralized, (y) the US Revolving Loan Commitments of the other US Lenders have been increased by an amount sufficient to satisfy US Agent that all future US Letter of Credit Obligations
will be covered by all US Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders, or (z) the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been reallocated to other Lenders in a manner consistent with
subsection 1.11(e)(ii). 
 (ii) Notice of Issuance. The US Borrower shall give the relevant US L/C Issuer
and US Agent a notice of any requested Issuance of any US Letter of Credit, which shall be effective only if received by such US L/C Issuer and US Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of such
requested Issuance. Such notice shall be made in a writing or Electronic Transmission substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(c) duly completed or in a writing in any other form reasonably acceptable to the L/C Issuer (an “L/C
Request”) or by telephone if confirmed promptly in writing or Electronic Transmission. 
 (iii) Reporting
Obligations of US L/C Issuers. Each US L/C Issuer agrees to provide US Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to US Agent, each of the following on the following dates: (A) (i) on or prior to any Issuance of any US Letter of Credit
by such US L/C Issuer, (ii) immediately after any drawing under any such US Letter of Credit or (iii) immediately after any payment (or failure to pay when due) by the US Borrower of any related US L/C Reimbursement Obligation, notice
thereof, which shall contain a reasonably detailed description of such Issuance, drawing or payment and US Agent shall provide copies of such notices to each US Lender reasonably promptly after receipt thereof; (B) upon the request of US Agent
(or any US Lender through US Agent), copies of any US Letter of Credit Issued by such US L/C Issuer and any related US L/C Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by US Agent; and (C) on

 (v) Reimbursement Obligations of the US Borrower. The US Borrower
agrees to pay to the US L/C Issuer of any US Letter of Credit each US L/C Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to such US Letter of Credit no later than the first Business Day after the US Borrower receives notice from such US L/C Issuer that
payment has been made under such US Letter of Credit or that such US L/C Reimbursement Obligation is otherwise due (the “US L/C Reimbursement Date”) with interest thereon computed as set forth in clause (A) below. In the event that
any US L/C Reimbursement Obligation is not repaid by the US Borrower as provided in this clause (v) (or any such payment by the US Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason), such US L/C Issuer shall promptly notify US Agent of such
failure (and, upon receipt of such notice, US Agent shall notify each US Lender) and, irrespective of whether such notice is given, such US L/C Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand by the US Borrower with interest thereon computed
(A) from the date on which such US L/C Reimbursement Obligation arose to the US L/C Reimbursement Date, at the interest rate applicable during such period to US Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (B) thereafter until payment in
full, at the interest rate specified in subsection 1.3(c) to past due US Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans (regardless of whether or not an election is made under such subsection). 

(vi) Reimbursement Obligations of the US Revolving Credit Lenders. 

(1) Upon receipt of the notice described in clause (v) above from US Agent, each US Lender shall pay to US Agent for
the account of such US L/C Issuer its Commitment Percentage of such US Letter of Credit Obligations (as such amount may be increased pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii)). 

(2) By making any payment described in clause (1) above (other than during the continuation of an Event of Default
under subsection 7.1(f) or 7.1(g)), such US Lender shall be deemed to have made a US Revolving Loan to the US Borrower, which, upon receipt thereof by such US L/C Issuer, the US Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to repay such US L/C
Reimbursement Obligation. Any such payment that is not deemed a US Revolving Loan shall be deemed a funding by such US Lender of its participation in the applicable US Letter of Credit and the US Letter of Credit Obligation in respect of the related
US L/C Reimbursement Obligations. Such participation shall not otherwise be required to be funded. Following receipt by any US L/C Issuer of any payment from any US Lender pursuant to this clause (vi) with respect to any portion of any US L/C
Reimbursement Obligation, such US L/C Issuer shall promptly pay over to such US Lender all duplicate payments received from Persons other than Lenders making payment on behalf of a Credit Party by such US L/C Issuer with respect to such portion of
such US L/C Reimbursement Obligation. 
 (vii) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the US Borrower
and the US Lenders pursuant to clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) above shall be absolute, 
  

 6 








 
unconditional and irrevocable and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement irrespective of (A) (i) the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision
in any US Letter of Credit, any document transferring or purporting to transfer a US Letter of Credit, any Loan Document (including the sufficiency of any such instrument), or any modification to any provision of any of the foregoing, (ii) any
document presented under a US Letter of Credit being forged, fraudulent, invalid, insufficient or inaccurate in any respect or failing to comply with the terms of such US Letter of Credit or (iii) any loss or delay, including in the
transmission of any document, (B) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that any Person (including any Credit Party) may have against the beneficiary of any US Letter of Credit or any other Person,
whether in connection with any Loan Document or any other Contractual Obligation or transaction, or the existence of any other withholding, abatement or reduction, (C) in the case of the obligations of any US Lender, (i) the failure of any
condition precedent set forth in Section 2.2 to be satisfied (each of which conditions precedent the US Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) or (ii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Credit Party and
(D) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of either Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this
clause (vii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any obligation of the US Borrower or any US Lender hereunder. No provision hereof shall be deemed to waive or limit the US Borrower’s right to assert claims against, or seek repayment
of any payment of any US L/C Reimbursement Obligations from, the US L/C Issuer under the terms of the applicable US L/C Reimbursement Agreement, any other documentation entered into with respect to the relevant Letters of Credit or applicable law.

 (d) US Swing Loans. (i) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in
reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein, the US Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, make Loans denominated in Dollars (each a “US Swing Loan”) available to the US Borrower under the
US Revolving Loan Commitments from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the Final Availability Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed its US Swingline Commitment;
provided, however, that the US Swingline Lender may not make any US Swing Loan (x) to the extent that after giving effect to such US Swing Loan, the aggregate principal amount of all US Revolving Loans would exceed the Maximum US Revolving Loan
Balance and (y) during the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives notice from US Agent or the Required Lenders that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 2.2 are not satisfied and ending when
such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. In connection with the making of any US Swing Loan, the US Swingline Lender may but shall not be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2
have been satisfied or waived. Each US Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and must be repaid as provided herein, but in any event must be repaid in full on the Revolving Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this
clause (i), amounts of US Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this clause (i). 
  

 7 








 (ii) Borrowing Procedures. In order to request a US Swing Loan, the
US Borrower shall give to US Agent a notice to be received not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the day of the proposed Borrowing, which shall be made in a writing or in an Electronic Transmission substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(d) or
in a writing in any other form reasonably acceptable to the Appropriate Agent duly completed (a “Swingline Request”) or by telephone if confirmed promptly in writing or Electronic Transmission. In addition, if any Notice of Borrowing of US
Revolving Loans requests a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the US Swingline Lender may, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, make a US Swing Loan to the US Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Borrowing, and the
aggregate amount of the corresponding proposed Borrowing shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount of such US Swing Loan. US Agent shall promptly notify the US Swingline Lender of the details of the requested US Swing Loan. Upon receipt
of such notice and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the US Swingline Lender may make a US Swing Loan available to the US Borrower by making the proceeds thereof available to US Agent and, in turn, US Agent shall make such proceeds available
to the US Borrower on the date set forth in the relevant Swingline Request or Notice of Borrowing. 
 (iii)
Refinancing US Swing Loans. 
 (1) The US Swingline Lender may at any time (and shall no less frequently
than once each week) forward a demand to US Agent (which US Agent shall, upon receipt, forward to each US Lender) that each US Lender pay to US Agent, for the account of the US Swingline Lender, such US Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the
outstanding US Swing Loans (as such amount may be increased pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii)). 
 (2) Each US
Lender shall pay the amount owing by it to US Agent for the account of the US Swingline Lender on the Business Day following receipt of the notice or demand therefor. Payments received by US Agent after 12:00 noon Chicago time may, in US
Agent’s discretion, be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. Upon receipt by US Agent of such payment (other than during the continuation of any Event of Default under subsection 7.1(f) or 7.1(g)), such US Lender shall be deemed to
have made a US Revolving Loan to the US Borrower, which, upon receipt of such payment by the US Swingline Lender from US Agent, the US Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to refinance such US Swing Loan. In addition, regardless of whether
any such demand is made, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under subsection 7.1(f) or 7.1(g), each US Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each US Swing Loan in
an amount equal to such US Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such US Swing Loan. If any payment made by any US Lender as a result of any such demand is not deemed a US Revolving Loan, such payment shall be deemed a funding by such US Lender of
such participation. Such participation shall not be otherwise required to be funded. Upon receipt by the US Swingline Lender of any payment from any US Lender pursuant to this clause (iii) with respect to any portion of any US Swing Loan, the
US Swingline Lender 
  

 8 








 
shall promptly pay over to such US Lender all payments of principal (to the extent received after such payment by such US Lender) and interest (to the extent accrued with respect to periods after
such payment) on account of such US Swing Loan received by the US Swingline Lender with respect to such portion. 

(iv) Obligation to Fund Absolute. Each US Lender’s obligations pursuant to clause (iii) above shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including (A) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense
or other right that such Lender, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person may have against the US Swingline Lender, either Agent, any other Lender or L/C Issuer or any other Person, (B) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in
Section 2.2 to be satisfied or the failure of the US Borrower to deliver a Notice of Borrowing (each of which requirements the US Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) and (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any
Credit Party. 
 (e) Canadian Letters of Credit. (i) Conditions. On the terms and subject to the conditions
contained herein, the Canadian Borrower may request that one or more Canadian L/C Issuers Issue, in accordance with such Canadian L/C Issuers’ usual and customary business practices, and for the account of the Canadian Credit Parties, Canadian
Letters of Credit (denominated in either Dollars or Canadian Dollars) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the earlier of (x) the Final Availability Date and (y) seven (7) days prior to
the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of Revolving Termination Date; provided, however, that no Canadian L/C Issuer shall Issue any Canadian Letter of Credit during the continuance of any of the following or, if after giving effect
to such Issuance: 
 (A) (i) US Availability or Canadian Availability would be less than zero, or (ii) the
US Dollar Equivalent of all Letter of Credit Obligations for all Letters of Credit would exceed the L/C Sublimit; 
 (B) the expiration date of such Canadian Letter of Credit (i) is not a Business Day, (ii) is more than one year after the date of issuance thereof or (iii) is later than seven (7) days
prior to the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of Revolving Termination Date; provided, however, that any Canadian Letter of Credit with a term not exceeding one year may provide for its renewal for additional periods not exceeding
one year as long as (x) each of the Canadian Borrower and such Canadian L/C Issuer have the option to prevent such renewal before the expiration of such term or any such period and (y) neither such Canadian L/C Issuer nor the Canadian
Borrower shall permit any such renewal to extend such expiration date beyond the date set forth in clause (iii) above; or 
 (C)(i) any fee due in connection with, and on or prior to, such Issuance has not been paid, (ii) such Canadian Letter of Credit is requested to be issued in a form that is not acceptable to such
Canadian L/C Issuer or (iii) such Canadian L/C Issuer shall not have received, each in form and substance 
  

 9 








 
reasonably acceptable to it and duly executed by the Canadian Borrower, the documents that such Canadian L/C Issuer generally uses in the Ordinary Course of Business for the Issuance of letters
of credit of the type of such Canadian Letter of Credit (collectively, the “Canadian L/C Reimbursement Agreement”). 
 Furthermore, GE
Canada as a Canadian L/C Issuer may elect only to issue Canadian Letters of Credit in its own name and may only issue Canadian Letters of Credit to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, and such Canadian Letters of Credit may not be accepted
by certain beneficiaries such as insurance companies. For each Issuance, the applicable Canadian L/C Issuer may, but shall not be required to, determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2 have been
satisfied or waived in connection with the Issuance of any Canadian Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Canadian Letters of Credit shall be Issued during the period starting on the first Business Day after the receipt by such Canadian L/C
Issuer of notice from Canadian Agent or the Required Lenders that any condition precedent contained in Section 2.2 is not satisfied and ending on the date all such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. 

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, if any Canadian Lender is a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender, no Canadian L/C Issuer shall be
obligated to Issue any Canadian Letter of Credit unless (w) the Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender has been replaced in accordance with Section 9.9 or 9.22, (x) the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or
Impacted Lender have been cash collateralized, (y) the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitments of the other Canadian Lenders have been increased by an amount sufficient to satisfy Canadian Agent that all future Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations
will be covered by all Canadian Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders, or (z) the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been reallocated to other Lenders in a manner consistent
with subsection 1.11(e)(ii). 
 (ii) Notice of Issuance. The Canadian Borrower shall give the relevant
Canadian L/C Issuer and Canadian Agent a notice of any requested Issuance of any Canadian Letter of Credit, which shall be effective only if received by such Canadian L/C Issuer and Canadian Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the third
Business Day prior to the date of such requested Issuance. Such notice shall be made in a writing or Electronic Transmission substantially in the form of an L/C Request or by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing or Electronic Transmission.

 (iii) Reporting Obligations of Canadian L/C Issuers. Each Canadian L/C Issuer agrees to provide
Canadian Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to Canadian Agent, each of the following on the following dates: (A) (i) on or prior to any Issuance of any Canadian Letter of Credit by such Canadian L/C Issuer, (ii) immediately
after any drawing under any such Canadian Letter of Credit or (iii) immediately after any payment (or failure to pay when due) by the Canadian Borrower of any related Canadian L/C Reimbursement Obligation, notice thereof, which shall contain a
reasonably detailed description of such Issuance, drawing or payment and Canadian Agent shall provide copies of such notices to each Canadian Lender reasonably promptly after receipt thereof;
(B)
  

 10 








 
upon the request of Canadian Agent (or any Canadian Lender through Canadian Agent), copies of any Canadian Letter of Credit Issued by such Canadian L/C Issuer and any related Canadian L/C
Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by Canadian Agent; and (C) on the first Business Day of each calendar week, a schedule of the Canadian Letters of Credit Issued by such Canadian L/C
Issuer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Canadian Agent, setting forth the Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations for such Canadian Letters of Credit outstanding on the last Business Day of the previous calendar week and including the
currency in which each such Canadian Letter of Credit is denominated. 
 (iv) Acquisition of
Participations. Upon any Issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement resulting in any increase in the Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations, each Canadian Lender shall be deemed to have acquired,
without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Canadian Letter of Credit and the related Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of such Canadian Letter of Credit
Obligations. 
 (v) Reimbursement Obligations of the Canadian Borrower. The Canadian Borrower agrees to
pay to the Canadian L/C Issuer of any Canadian Letter of Credit each Canadian L/C Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to such Canadian Letter of Credit, in the currency in which such Canadian Letter of Credit is denominated, no later than
the first Business Day after the Canadian Borrower receives notice from such Canadian L/C Issuer that payment has been made under such Canadian Letter of Credit or that such Canadian L/C Reimbursement Obligation is otherwise due (the “Canadian
L/C Reimbursement Date”) with interest thereon computed as set forth in clause (A) below. In the event that any Canadian L/C Reimbursement Obligation is not repaid by the Canadian Borrower as provided in this clause (v) (or any such
payment by the Canadian Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason), such Canadian L/C Issuer shall promptly notify Canadian Agent of such failure (and, upon receipt of such notice, Canadian Agent shall notify each Canadian Lender) and,
irrespective of whether such notice is given, such Canadian L/C Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand by the Canadian Borrower with interest thereon computed (A) from the date on which such Canadian L/C Reimbursement Obligation
arose to the Canadian L/C Reimbursement Date, at the interest rate applicable during such period to Canadian Revolving Loans that are Canadian Prime Rate Loans and (B) thereafter until payment in full, at the interest rate specified in
subsection 1.3(c) to past due (y) Canadian Revolving Loans that are Canadian Prime Rate Loans, for Canadian L/C Reimbursement Obligations denominated in Canadian Dollars and (z) Canadian Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, for

Lenders. 
 (1) Upon receipt of the notice described in clause (v) above from Canadian Agent, each Canadian Lender
shall pay to Canadian Agent for the account of such Canadian L/C Issuer its Commitment Percentage of such Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations (as such amount may be increased pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii)) in the currency in which such
Canadian Letter of Credit Obligations are denominated. 
 (2) By making any payment described in clause (1) above (other
than during the continuation of an Event of Default under subsection 7.1(f) or 7.1(g)), such Canadian Lender shall be deemed to have made a Canadian Revolving Loan to the Canadian Borrower, in the currency in which the applicable Canadian L/C
Reimbursement Obligation is denominated, which, upon receipt thereof by such Canadian L/C Issuer, the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to repay such Canadian L/C Reimbursement Obligation. Any such payment that is not deemed a
Canadian Revolving Loan shall be deemed a funding by such Canadian Lender of its participation in the applicable Canadian Letter of Credit and the Canadian Letter of Credit Obligation in respect of the related Canadian L/C Reimbursement Obligations.
Such participation shall not otherwise be required to be funded. Following receipt by any Canadian L/C Issuer of any payment from any Canadian Lender pursuant to this clause (vi) with respect to any portion of any Canadian L/C Reimbursement
Obligation, such Canadian L/C Issuer shall promptly pay over to such Canadian Lender all duplicate payments received from Persons other than Lenders making payment on behalf of a Credit Party by such Canadian L/C Issuer with respect to such portion
of such Canadian L/C Reimbursement Obligation. 
 (vii) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the
Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders pursuant to clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement irrespective of

instrument), or any modification to any provision of any of the foregoing, (ii) any document presented under a Canadian Letter of Credit being forged, fraudulent, invalid, insufficient or inaccurate in any respect or failing to comply with the
terms of such Canadian Letter of Credit or (iii) any loss or delay, including in the transmission of any document, (B) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that any Person (including any Credit
Party) may have against the beneficiary of any Canadian Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with any Loan Document or any other Contractual Obligation or transaction, or the existence of any other withholding, abatement or
reduction, (C) in the case of the obligations of any Canadian Lender, (i) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 2.2 to be satisfied (each of which conditions precedent the Canadian Lenders hereby irrevocably
waive), (ii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Credit Party or (iii) the currency in which the applicable Canadian L/C Reimbursement Obligation and the related Canadian Revolving Loan are denominated, and
(D)
  

 12 








 
any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of either Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this clause (vii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any obligation of the Canadian Borrower or any Canadian Lender hereunder. No provision hereof shall be deemed to waive or limit the
Canadian Borrower’s right to assert claims, or seek repayment of any payment of any Canadian L/C Reimbursement Obligations from, the Canadian L/C Issuer under the terms of the applicable Canadian L/C Reimbursement Agreement, any other

commencing on the first Business Day after it receives notice from Canadian Agent or the Required Lenders that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 2.2 are not satisfied and ending when such conditions are satisfied or
duly waived. In connection with the making of any Canadian Swing Loan, the Canadian Swingline Lender may but shall not be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2 have been satisfied
or waived. Each Canadian Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan for Canadian Swing Loans denominated in Dollars and a Canadian Prime Rate Loan for Canadian Swing Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars and must, in either case, be repaid as provided
herein, but in any event must be repaid in full on the Revolving Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (i), amounts of Canadian Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this clause (i).

of such payment by the Canadian Swingline Lender from Canadian Agent, the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to refinance such Canadian Swing Loan. In addition, regardless of whether any such demand is made, upon the occurrence

Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Canadian Swing Loan. If any payment made by any Canadian Lender as a result of any such demand is not deemed a Canadian Revolving Loan, such payment shall be deemed a funding by such Canadian Lender of
such participation. Such participation shall not be otherwise required to be funded. Upon receipt by the Canadian Swingline Lender of any payment from any Canadian Lender pursuant to this clause (iii) with respect to any portion of any Canadian
Swing Loan, the Canadian Swingline Lender shall promptly pay over to such Canadian Lender all payments of principal (to the extent received after such payment by such Lender) and interest (to the extent accrued with respect to periods after such

1.2 Notes.

shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR, the Base Rate, the BA Rate or Canadian Prime Rate, as the case may be, plus the Applicable Margin; provided Swing
Loans may not be BA Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans; provided, for purposes of clarity, CDN $ Denominated Canadian Loans shall bear interest at the BA Rate or Canadian Prime Rate, as applicable, plus the appropriate Applicable Margin and Dollar
Denominated Canadian Loans shall bear interest at the Base Rate or LIBOR, as applicable, plus the appropriate Applicable Margin. Each determination of an interest rate by the Appropriate Agent shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers and the
Lenders in the absence of manifest error. All computations of fees and interest (other than interest on Base Rate Loans and CDN $ Denominated Canadian Loans) payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days
elapsed. All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans and CDN $ Denominated Canadian Loans payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 365-366 day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period
during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to, but excluding, the last day thereof. 
  

 15 








 (b) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest
shall also be paid on the date of any payment or prepayment of Loans in full. 
 (c) At the election of Required US Lenders with
respect to US Loans or the Required Canadian Lenders with respect to Canadian Loans (with written notice thereof to be provided to the applicable Borrower) while any Specified Event of Default exists and is continuing (or automatically while any
Event of Default under subsection 7.1(f) or 7.1(g) exists), the applicable Borrower (subject to the Interest Act (Canada)) shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the US Loans and/or
Canadian Loans, as applicable, from and after the date of such written notice (or automatically from and after the date of an Event of Default under subsection 7.1(f) or 7.1(g) until such Specified Event of Default shall have been cured or waived in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement), at a rate per annum which is determined by adding two percent (2.0%) per annum to the Applicable Margin then in effect for such Loans (plus the LIBOR, Base Rate, BA Rate or Canadian Prime Rate, as
the case may be). All such interest shall be payable on written demand of the Required US Lenders or Required Canadian Lenders, as applicable. 
 (d) (i) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for
which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate
of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event such Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided,
however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, such Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest
received by the Appropriate Agent, on behalf of the applicable Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since
the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of clause
(i) above, if any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents would obligate Canadian Borrower or any other Credit Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Canadian Lender in an amount or
calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by such Canadian Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding
such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by such Canadian Lender
of “interest” at a “criminal rate,” such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Lender under this section 1.3(d),
and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Canadian Lender which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the

  

 16 








 
Criminal Code (Canada). Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this subsection 1.3(d) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an
effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall,
if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Closing Date to the Revolving Termination Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the
Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Canadian Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination. 
 (iii) For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of a 360 or 365 day year or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the
applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or 365 or such other period of time, as the case may be. 
 1.4 Loan
Accounts. 
 (a) The Appropriate Agent, on behalf of the applicable Lenders, shall record on its books and records the
amount of each Loan made, the interest rate applicable, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding. The Appropriate Agent shall deliver to the applicable Borrower on a monthly basis
a loan statement setting forth such record for the immediately preceding calendar month. Such record shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments
thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so, or any failure to deliver such loan statement shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (and under any Note) to pay any amount owing with
respect to the Loans or provide the basis for any claim against Agents. 
 (b) US Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the
US Borrower solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this subsection 1.4(b), shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 (or at such other address as US Agent may give written notice
to the US Borrower) (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which US Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of US Agent, each Lender and each US L/C Issuer in the
US Revolving Loans, US Swing Loans, US L/C Reimbursement Obligations and US Letter of Credit Obligations, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each US Loan, US Letter of Credit, US Letter of Credit Obligations and US L/C
Reimbursement Obligations, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the US Lenders and the
US L/C Issuers (and each change thereto pursuant to Sections 9.9 and 9.22), (2) the Commitments of each US Lender, (3) the amount of each US Loan (and whether it is a Base Rate or a LIBOR Rate Loan) and each funding of any participation
described in clause (A) above, and for LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (4) the amount of any 

 

 17 








 
principal or interest due and payable or paid, (5) the amount of the US L/C Reimbursement Obligations due and payable or paid in respect of US Letters of Credit and (6) any other
payment received by US Agent from US Borrower and its application to the Obligations. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the US Loans (including any Notes evidencing such Loans and, the corresponding obligations to participate in US Letter of Credit Obligations and US Swing Loans) and the US L/C Reimbursement Obligations are
registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the US Lenders and the US L/C Issuers and their assignees in and to such US Loans or US L/C Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, shall be transferable only pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 1.4 and Section 9.9 shall be construed so that the US Loans and US L/C Reimbursement
Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code. 
 (d) The Credit Parties, US Agent, the US Lenders and the US L/C Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a US Lender or US L/C Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of
this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any US Lender or any US L/C Issuer shall be available for access by the US Borrower, US Agent, such US Lender or such US L/C Issuer during normal business hours and from time
to time upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice. No US Lender or US L/C Issuer shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such US
Lender or US L/C Issuer unless otherwise agreed by the US Agent.

 22 








 
Revolving Loans exceeds the Maximum US Revolving Loan Balance and/or the US Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding principal balance of Canadian Revolving Loans exceeds the Maximum Canadian

outstanding and then to outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans with the shortest Interest Periods or BA Loans with the shortest BA Periods remaining, as applicable. Together with each prepayment under this Section 1.8, the Applicable Borrower shall pay
any amounts required pursuant to Section 10.4 hereof. Prepayments of Canadian Revolving Loans shall be made in the currency in which the applicable Canadian Revolving Loan is denominated. 

(f) No Implied Consent. Provisions contained in this Section 1.8 for the application of proceeds of certain transactions
shall not be deemed to constitute consent of the Lenders to transactions that are not otherwise permitted by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents.

 1.11 Payments by the Lenders to Appropriate Agent;
Settlement. 
 (a) The Appropriate Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, disburse funds to the applicable Borrower for Loans
requested. Each Lender shall reimburse the Appropriate Agent on demand for all funds disbursed on its behalf by such Agent, in the currency in which such funds were disbursed, or if the Appropriate Agent so requests, each Lender will remit to the
Appropriate Agent its Commitment Percentage of any Loan before the Appropriate Agent disburses same to the applicable Borrower. If the Appropriate Agent elects to require that each Lender make funds available to the Appropriate Agent prior to
disbursement by the Appropriate Agent to the applicable Borrower, the Appropriate Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loan requested by the applicable Borrower, and the
applicable currency thereof, no later than the Business Day prior to the scheduled Borrowing date applicable thereto, and each such Lender shall pay the Appropriate Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such requested Loan, in same day
funds, in the applicable currency, by wire transfer to the Appropriate Agent’s account, as set forth on Appropriate Agent’s signature page hereto, no later than noon (Chicago time) on such scheduled Borrowing date. Nothing in this
subsection 1.11(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the remaining provisions of Section 1.11, shall be deemed to require an Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its
obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Appropriate Agent, any Lender or the applicable Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 

(b) At least once each calendar week or more frequently the Appropriate Agent’s election (each, a “Settlement Date”),
Appropriate Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of principal, interest, applicable currency and Fees paid for the benefit of Lenders with respect to each applicable

  

 28 








 
Loan. Appropriate Agent shall pay to each Lender such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (except as otherwise provided in subsection 1.1(c) (vi) and subsection 1.11(e)(iv)) of principal,
interest and fees paid by the applicable Borrower since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the
next Business Day following each Settlement Date. 
 (c) Availability of Lender’s Commitment Percentage. Appropriate
Agent may assume that each Lender will make its Commitment Percentage of each Revolving Loan available to Appropriate Agent on each Borrowing date. If such Commitment Percentage is not, in fact, paid to Appropriate Agent by such Lender when due,
Appropriate Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Commitment Percentage forthwith upon the Appropriate
Agent’s demand, Appropriate Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the applicable Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to the Appropriate Agent in the currency in which such amount was disbursed. Nothing in this
subsection 1.11(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Appropriate Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or
to prejudice any rights that the applicable Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. Without limiting the provisions of subsection 1.11(b), to the extent that Appropriate Agent advances funds to the
applicable Borrower on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such advance is made, Appropriate Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such advance from the date such
advance was made until reimbursed by the applicable Lender. 
 (d) Return of Payments. 

(i) If an Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has
been or will be received by such Agent from the applicable Borrower and such related payment is not received by such Agent, then such Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction
of any kind. 
 (ii) If an Agent determines at any time that any amount received by such Agent under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document must be returned to any Credit Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, such
Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Appropriate Agent on demand any portion of such amount that such Agent has distributed to such Lender, in the applicable currency,
together with interest at such rate, if any, as such Agent is required to pay to the applicable Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, and Appropriate Agent will be entitled to set-off against future
distributions to such Lender any such amounts (with interest) that are not repaid on demand. 
  

 29 








 (e) Non-Funding Lenders. 

(i) Responsibility. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Loan, to fund any purchase of any
participation to be made or funded by it, or to make any payment required by it hereunder on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such loan, fund the purchase of any such participation, or make
any other payment required hereunder on such date, and none of the Agents or, other than as expressly set forth herein, any other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a loan, fund the purchase of a
participation or make any other payment required hereunder. 
 (ii) Reallocation. If any Lender is a
Non-Funding Lender, all or a portion of such Non-Funding Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations (unless such Lender is the L/C Issuer that issued such Letter of Credit) and reimbursement obligations with respect to Swing Loans shall, at the
Appropriate Agent’s election at any time or upon any L/C Issuer’s or Swingline Lender’s, as applicable, written request delivered to Agents (whether before or after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default), be reallocated to
and assumed by the US Lenders or Canadian Lenders, as applicable, that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages of the US Loans or Canadian Loans, as applicable, (calculated as if the
Non-Funding Lender’s Commitment Percentage was reduced to zero and each other Lender’s Commitment Percentage had been increased proportionately), provided that no Lender shall be reallocated any such amounts or be required to fund any
amounts that would cause the sum of its applicable outstanding Loans, outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations, amounts of its participations in Swing Loans and its pro rata share of unparticipated amounts in Swing Loans to exceed its US Revolving
Loan Commitment or Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment, as applicable. 
 (iii) Voting Rights.
Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, including Section 9.1, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be, or have its
Loans and Commitments, included in the determination of “Required Lenders”, “Required US Lenders”, “Required Canadian Lenders” or “Lenders directly affected” pursuant to Section 9.1) for any voting or
consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document, provided that (A) the Commitment of a Non-Funding Lender may not be increased, extended or reinstated, (B) the principal of a Non-Funding Lender’s Loans may not be reduced or
forgiven, and (C) the interest rate applicable to Obligations owing to a Non-Funding Lender may not be reduced. Moreover, for the purposes of determining Required Lenders, Required US Lenders and Required Canadian Lenders, the Loans, Letter of
Credit Obligations, and Commitments held by Non-Funding Lenders shall be excluded from the total Loans and Commitments outstanding. 
  

 30 








 (iv) Borrower Payments to a Non-Funding Lender. The Appropriate Agent
shall be entitled to hold, in a non-interest bearing account, all portions of any payments received by such Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement as cash collateral. The Appropriate Agent is hereby authorized to
use such cash collateral to pay in full the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount to the appropriate Secured Parties thereof, and then, to hold as cash collateral the amount of such Non-Funding Lender’s pro rata share, without giving effect to any
reallocation pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii), of all funding obligations until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, all Letter of Credit Obligations have been discharged or cash collateralized and all Commitments have been terminated. Upon
any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, the Appropriate Agent shall be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. With respect to such Non-Funding
Lender’s failure to fund Loans or purchase participations in Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Obligations, any amounts applied by the Appropriate Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute a Revolving Loan or
amount of the participation required to be funded and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the other Lenders shall be deemed to have sold, and such Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit
participation interests from the other Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment
Percentages. Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to an Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as
applicable. In the event that an Agent is holding cash collateral of a Non-Funding Lender that cures pursuant to clause (v) below or ceases to be a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to definition of Non-Funding Lender, such Agent shall return the
unused portion of such cash collateral to such Lender. The “Aggregate Excess Funding Amount” of a Non-Funding Lender shall be the aggregate amount of (A) all unpaid obligations owing by such Lender to the Appropriate Agent, L/C
Issuers, Swing Line Lender, and other Lenders under the Loan Documents, including such Lender’s pro rata share of all Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations, Swing Line Loans, plus, without duplication, (B) all amounts of such
Non-Funding Lender reallocated to other Lenders pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii). 
 (v) Cure. A Lender
may cure its status as a Non-Funding Lender under clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender if such Lender fully pays to the Appropriate Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, plus all
interest due thereon, in each case, in the applicable currency. Any such cure shall not relieve any Lender from liability for breaching its contractual obligations hereunder. 

(vi) Fees. A Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding
Lender shall not earn and shall not be 
  

 31 








 
entitled to receive, and no Borrowers shall be required to pay, such Lender’s portion of the Unused Commitment Fee during the time such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause
(a) thereof. In the event that any reallocation of Letter of Credit Obligations occurs pursuant to subsection 1.11(e)(ii), during the period of time that such reallocation remains in effect, the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to such
reallocated portion shall be payable to (A) all Lenders based on their pro rata share of such reallocation or (B) to the applicable L/C Issuer for any remaining portion not reallocated to any other Lenders. 

(f) Procedures. Each Agent is hereby authorized by each Credit Party and each other Secured Party to establish reasonable
procedures (and to amend such procedures from time to time) to facilitate administration and servicing of the Loans and other matters incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent is hereby authorized to establish
reasonable procedures to make available or deliver, or to accept, notices, documents and similar items on, by posting to or submitting and/or completion, on E-Systems.

such Credit Party’s name thereon and do such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. Notwithstanding the requirement in subsection (i) above, Federal Flood Insurance shall not be required for (x) Real
Estate not located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, or (y) Real Estate located in a Special Flood Hazard Area in a community that does not participate in the National Flood Insurance Program. 

(b) Unless the Credit Parties provide Agents with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Agents may, upon one
(1) Business Day’s prior notice to the Borrowers, purchase insurance at the Credit Parties’ expense to protect Agents’ and Lenders’ interests, including interests in the Credit Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’
properties. This insurance may, but need not, protect the Credit Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ interests. The coverage that Agents purchase may not pay any claim that any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party makes or any
claim that is made against such Credit Party or any Subsidiary in connection with said Property. The Borrowers may later cancel any insurance purchased by Agents, but only after providing Agents with evidence that there has been obtained insurance
as required by this Agreement (and, to the extent the Borrowers have complied with the provisions of this sentence and are entitled to cancel any such insurance obtained by Agent, Agent agrees, to the extent necessary, to promptly cancel such
insurance at the written direction of the Borrowers). If an Agent purchases insurance, the Credit Parties will be responsible for the actual costs of that insurance until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The
costs of the insurance shall be added to the Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance the Borrower may be able to obtain on its own. 
 4.7 Payment of Obligations. Such Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay, discharge and perform as the same shall become due and payable or required to be performed,
all their respective obligations and liabilities, including: 
 (a) all material tax liabilities, assessments and governmental
charges or levies upon it or its Property, unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted which stay the enforcement of any Lien and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being
maintained by such Person; 
 (b) all material lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien (other than a
Permitted Lien) upon its Property unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted which stay the imposition or enforcement of any Lien and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are
being maintained by such Person; 
 (c) the performance of all obligations under any Contractual Obligation to such Credit Party
or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, or to which it or any of its Property is 
  

 49 








 
subject, including the Related Agreements, except where the failure to perform would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and

 (d) payments to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of a Lien with respect to, or the involuntary termination of any
underfunded Benefit Plan. 
 4.8 Compliance with Laws. (a) Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, comply with all Requirements of Law of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it or its business, except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) For each existing, or hereafter adopted, Canadian Pension Plan and Canadian Benefit Plan, each
Credit Party shall in a timely fashion comply with and perform in all material respects all of its obligations under and in respect of such Canadian Pension Plan or Canadian Benefit Plan, including under any funding agreements and all applicable
laws (including any fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations), except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) All employer or employee payments, contributions or premiums required to be remitted, paid to or in respect of each Canadian Pension
Plan or Canadian Benefit Plan shall be paid or remitted by each Credit Party in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms thereof, any funding agreements and all applicable laws. 

(d) Canadian Borrowers shall deliver to Canadian Agent (i) if requested by Canadian Agent, copies of each annual and other return,
report or valuation with respect to each Canadian Pension Plan as filed with any applicable Governmental Authority; (ii) promptly after receipt thereof, a copy of any direction, order, notice, ruling or opinion that any Credit Party may receive
from any applicable Governmental Authority with respect to any Canadian Pension Plan; (iii) notification within 30 days of any increases having a cost to one or more of the Credit Parties in excess of CDN $500,000 per annum in the aggregate, in
the benefits of any existing Canadian Pension Plan or Canadian Benefit Plan, or the establishment of any new Canadian Pension Plan or Canadian Benefit Plan, or the commencement of contributions to any such plan to which any Credit Party was not
previously contributing; and (iv) on or prior to any filing by any Credit Party of any notice to terminate or partially terminate any Canadian Pension Plan, a copy of such notice and promptly, any in any event within 10 days, after any officer
of a Credit Party knows or has reason to know that a request for a funding waiver under any Canadian Pension Plan has been filed, a notice (which may be made by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing) describing such waiver request and any
action that such Credit Party proposes to take with respect thereto, together with a copy of any notice filed with any Governmental Authority pertaining thereto. 
 4.9 Inspection of Property and Books and Records. Each Credit Party shall maintain and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain proper books of record and account, in which full, true and
correct entries in conformity with GAAP (or the applicable foreign 
  

 50 








 
equivalent in the case of Foreign Subsidiaries) consistently applied shall be made of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of such Person. Each Credit Party
shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, with respect to each owned, leased, or controlled property, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in
which event no notice shall be required and each Agent shall have access at any and all times during the continuance thereof): (a) provide access to such property to each Agent and any of its Related Persons, as frequently as such Agent
determines to be appropriate; and (b) permit each Agent and any of its Related Persons to conduct field examinations, audit, inspect, and make extracts and copies (or take originals if reasonably necessary) from all of such Credit Party’s
books and records, and evaluate and make physical verifications and appraisals of the Inventory and other Collateral in any manner and through any medium that such Agent considers advisable, in each instance, at the Credit Parties’ expense;
provided the Credit Parties shall only be obligated to reimburse Agents for the expenses of one such field examination, audit and inspection per calendar year per Agent or more frequently if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any
Lender may accompany an Agent or its Related Persons in connection with any inspection at such Lender’s expense. Each Credit Party which keeps records relating to Collateral in the Province of Quebec shall at all times keep a duplicate copy
thereof at a location outside the Province of Quebec, as listed in Schedule 3.21. 
 4.10 Use of Proceeds. The
Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Loans solely as follows: (a) to refinance on the Closing Date, Prior Indebtedness, (b) to pay costs and expenses of the Related Transactions and costs and expenses required to be paid pursuant to
Section 2.1; provided, in no event shall proceeds from Canadian Loans be used to pay the costs or expenses incurred in connection with the Related Transactions, and (c) for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate
purposes not in contravention of any Requirement of Law and not in violation of this Agreement. 
 4.11 Cash Management
Systems. Each Credit Party shall enter into, and cause each depository, securities intermediary or commodities intermediary to enter into, Control Agreements with respect to each deposit, securities, commodity or similar account maintained by
such Person (other than (i) any payroll account so long as amounts on deposit therein do not exceed the reasonably estimated payroll obligations of such Person and such amounts are deposited therein immediately prior to any required payroll
date, (ii) any withholding tax, benefits, escrow, customs, trust or any other fiduciary account, (iii) zero balance deposit account provided the amount on deposit therein does not exceed the amount necessary to cover outstanding checks,
amounts necessary to maintain minimum deposit requirements and amounts necessary to pay the depositary institution’s fees and expenses, (iv) any deposit account maintained with a foreign bank (other than a foreign bank located in Canada)

or bailee waivers, as applicable, from the lessor 
  

 51 








 
of (i) leased property functioning as the corporate headquarters of the Credit Parties or otherwise containing a Credit Party’s material books and records and (ii) each leased
property containing, and each bailee in possession of, Collateral with a fair market value in excess of the US Dollar Equivalent of $500,000 for any one (1) such location, which agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance
to US Agent. 
 4.13 Further Assurances. 
 (a) Each Credit Party shall ensure that all written information, exhibits and reports furnished to Agent or the Lenders (excluding the Purchase Agreement and information of a general or industry specific
nature) do not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact (provided, to the extent any such information, exhibits or reports contain projections, budgets, forward looking statements or estimates Agents and the Lenders acknowledge
and agree that projections, budgets, forward looking statements or estimates as to future events are inherently uncertain and are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections,
budgets, forward looking statements or estimates may materially differ from the projected results) do not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and do not and will not omit to state any material fact or any fact necessary to
make the statements contained therein, taken as a whole, not materially misleading in light of the circumstances in which made, and will promptly disclose to Agents and the Lenders and correct any defect or error that may be discovered therein or in
any Loan Document or in the execution, acknowledgement or recordation thereof. 
 (b) Promptly upon written request by the
Appropriate Agent, the Credit Parties shall (and, subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth, shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to) take such additional actions and execute such documents as the Appropriate Agent may reasonably require
from time to time in order (i) to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) to subject to the Liens created by any of the Collateral Documents any of the Properties, rights or interests
covered by any of the Collateral Documents, (iii) to perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of any of the Collateral Documents and the Liens intended to be created thereby, and (iv) to better assure, convey, grant,
assign, transfer, preserve, protect and confirm to the Secured Parties the rights granted or now or hereafter intended to be granted to the Secured Parties under any Loan Document. To the extent a 956 Impact exists with respect to a Foreign
Subsidiary, (1) such Foreign Subsidiary shall not be required to guaranty the US Obligations and (2) Stock and Stock Equivalents of such Foreign Subsidiary in excess of sixty-five percent (65%) of the outstanding voting Stock and
Stock Equivalents thereof shall not be required to be pledged to secure the US Obligations; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in any Loan Document, in no event shall (i) a Foreign Subsidiary
that is not (y) a First Tier Foreign Subsidiary of a domestic US Credit Party (i.e., a US Credit Party that is incorporated, organized or otherwise formed under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia) or
(z) a Canadian Subsidiary be required to guaranty the Obligations or (ii) the Stock or Stock Equivalents of a Foreign Subsidiary that is not a First Tier Foreign Subsidiary or a Canadian Subsidiary be pledged as security for the
Obligations (provided, further, First Tier Foreign Subsidiaries of Credit Parties that are not US Credit Parties shall not be pledged as security for the US Obligations). 

 

 52 








 (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise approved in
writing by Required Lenders, the US Credit Parties shall cause each of their Domestic Subsidiaries and, to the extent no 956 Impact exists, Canadian Subsidiaries and Domestic Subsidiaries owned indirectly through a Canadian Subsidiary to guaranty
the Obligations and to cause each such Subsidiary to grant to US Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth, all of such Subsidiary’s Property to secure such guaranty.
Furthermore and except as otherwise approved in writing by Required Lenders, each US Credit Party shall, and shall cause (x) each of its Domestic Subsidiaries to, pledge all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of each of its Domestic
Subsidiaries and First Tier Foreign Subsidiaries which are Canadian Subsidiaries (provided that with respect to any such First Tier Foreign Subsidiary, if a 956 Impact exists such pledge shall be limited to sixty-five percent (65%) of such
Canadian Subsidiary’s outstanding voting Stock and Stock Equivalents and one hundred percent (100%) of such Canadian Subsidiary’s outstanding non-voting Stock and Stock Equivalents) and (y) to the extent no 956 Impact exists,
each of its Canadian Subsidiaries to, pledge all of the Stock and Stock Equivalent of each of its Subsidiaries, in each instance, to US Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to secure the Obligations. In connection with each pledge of Stock
and Stock Equivalents, the Credit Parties shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to US Agent, irrevocable proxies and stock powers and/or assignments, as applicable, duly executed in blank. In the event any US Credit Party or any Domestic
Subsidiary or, to the extent no 956 Impact exists, any Canadian Subsidiary or any Domestic Subsidiary owned indirectly through a Canadian Subsidiary, of any Credit Party acquires any Real Estate with a fair market value or purchase price in excess
of $1,000,000, simultaneously with such acquisition, such Person shall execute and/or deliver, or cause to be executed and/or delivered, to US Agent, (v) an appraisal complying with FIRREA, (w) within forty-five (45) days of receipt
of notice from US Agent that Real Estate is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, Federal Flood Insurance as required by subsection 4.6(a), (x) a fully executed Mortgage, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to US Agent together with
an A.L.T.A. lender’s title insurance policy issued by a title insurer reasonably satisfactory to US Agent, in form and substance and in an amount reasonably satisfactory to US Agent insuring that the Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first
priority Lien on the respective property, free and clear of all defects, encumbrances and Liens other than Permitted Liens, (y) then current A.L.T.A. surveys, certified to the US Agent by a licensed surveyor sufficient to allow the issuer of
the lender’s title insurance policy to issue such policy without a survey exception and (z) an environmental site assessment prepared by a qualified firm reasonably acceptable to US Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to US Agent. A
“956 Impact” will be deemed to exist to the extent the issuance of a guaranty by, grant of a Lien by, or pledge of greater than two-thirds of the voting Stock and Stock Equivalents of, a Foreign Subsidiary, would result in material
incremental income tax liability as a result of the application of Section 956 of the Code, taking into account actual anticipated repatriation of funds, foreign tax credits and other relevant factors. In addition to the obligations set forth
in subsections 4.6(a) and 4.13(c)(w), within forty-five (45) days after written notice from Agents to the Credit Parties that any Real Estate is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, the Credit Parties shall satisfy the Federal Flood
Insurance requirements of subsection 4.6(a). 
 (d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise
approved in writing by Required Lenders, the Credit Parties shall cause each of their Canadian Subsidiaries to guaranty the Canadian Obligations and to cause each such Subsidiary to grant to 

 

 53 








 
Canadian Agent, for the benefit of the Canadian Secured Parties, a security interest in, subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth, all of such Subsidiary’s Property to secure such
guaranty. Furthermore and except as otherwise approved in writing by Required Lenders, each Canadian Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Canadian Subsidiaries to, pledge all of the Stock and Stock Equivalent of each of its Subsidiaries,
in each instance, to Canadian Agent, for the benefit of the Canadian Secured Parties, to secure the Canadian Obligations. In connection with each pledge of Stock and Stock Equivalents, the Credit Parties shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to
Canadian Agent, irrevocable proxies and stock powers and/or assignments, as applicable, duly executed in blank. In the event any Canadian Credit Party or any Canadian Subsidiary acquires any Real Estate with a fair market value or purchase price in
excess of the US Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000, simultaneously with such acquisition, such Person shall execute and/or deliver, or cause to be executed and/or delivered, to Canadian Agent, (v) an appraisal complying with applicable law,
(w) a fully executed Mortgage, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Canadian Agent together with an A.L.T.A. (or equivalent) lender’s title insurance policy issued by a title insurer reasonably satisfactory to Canadian Agent,
in form and substance and in an amount reasonably satisfactory to Canadian Agent insuring that the Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first priority Lien on the respective property, free and clear of all defects, encumbrances and Liens other than
Permitted Liens, (x) then current A.L.T.A. (or equivalent) surveys, certified to the Canadian Agent by a licensed surveyor sufficient to allow the issuer of the lender’s title insurance policy to issue such policy without a survey
exception and (z) an environmental site assessment prepared by a qualified firm reasonably acceptable to Canadian Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to Canadian Agent. 

4.14 Environmental Matters. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with, and maintain its
Real Estate, whether owned, leased, subleased or otherwise operated or occupied, in compliance with, all applicable Environmental Laws (including by implementing any Remedial Action necessary to achieve such compliance) or that is required by orders
and directives of any Governmental Authority except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Environmental Liability. Without limiting the foregoing, if an Event of
Default is continuing or if an Agent at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there exist violations of Environmental Laws by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party or that there exist any Environmental Liabilities, except
where the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Environmental Liability, then each Credit Party shall, promptly upon receipt of request from such Agent, cause the performance
of, and allow such Agent and its Related Persons access to such Real Estate for the purpose of conducting, such environmental audits and assessments, including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater, and cause the preparation of such reports,
in each case as such Agent may from time to time reasonably request. Such audits, assessments and reports, to the extent not conducted by an Agent or any of its Related Persons, shall be conducted and prepared by reputable environmental consulting
firms reasonably acceptable to such Agent and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Agent. 
 4.15
Post-Closing Obligations. Notwithstanding the conditions precedent set forth in Article II above, the Borrowers have informed Agents and the Lenders that certain of such items required to be delivered to US Agent or otherwise satisfied as
conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement will not be delivered to US Agent as of the date hereof. 

 

 54 








 
Therefore, with respect to the items set forth on Schedule 4.15 (collectively, the “Outstanding Items”), and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other
Loan Document, the Borrowers shall deliver or otherwise satisfy each Outstanding Item to US Agent in the form, manner and time set forth thereon for such Outstanding Item or within such other time as US Agent may reasonably agree; provided, each
Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby expressly consent, acknowledge and agree, irrespective of the Borrowers’ satisfaction or completion of any or all of the conditions to funding any Loan or issuing any Letter of Credit set forth in
Section 2.2 hereof, neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to make or fund any Loans or issue any Letters of Credit hereunder until such time as the Credit Parties have complied in full with the requirements regarding, and
otherwise delivered, the Outstanding Items set forth in part 2 of Schedule 4.15.

case of clause (i) of subsection 7.1(g) upon the expiration of the sixty (60) day period mentioned therein), the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and the obligation of the L/C Issuer to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically

been delivered automatically upon any acceleration of the Loans and other obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 7.2), and the applicable Borrowers shall thereupon deliver to the Appropriate Agent, to be held for the benefit of the L/C
Issuer, Agent and the Lenders entitled thereto, an amount of cash equal to 102% of the amount of Letter of Credit Obligations, or a letter of credit on terms and conditions, in form and substance and issued by an issuer reasonably acceptable to the
Appropriate Agent, in either instance, as additional collateral security for Obligations in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit. The Appropriate Agent may at any time apply any or all of such cash and cash collateral to the

  

 75 








 
payment of any or all of the Credit Parties’ Obligations in respect of any Letters of Credit in respect thereof. Pending such application, the Appropriate Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) invest the same in an interest bearing account in such Agent’s name, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer, Agent and the Lenders entitled thereto, under which deposits are available for immediate withdrawal, at such bank or financial
institution as the L/C Issuer and Agent may, in their discretion, select. If the Specified Event of Default for which cash collateral or a backstop letter of credit was required hereunder is cured or waived, and no other Specified Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, then the Appropriate Agent shall promptly return to the applicable Borrower such cash collateral or backstop letter of credit upon such Borrower’s written request and instruction.

as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender, or as one of the Required US Lenders or Required Canadian Lenders, respectively. 
 8.7 Lender Credit Decision. 
 (a) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer
acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon either Agent, any Lender or L/C Issuer or any of their Related Persons or upon any document (including any offering and disclosure materials in connection with the syndication of
the Loans) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by an Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Credit Party and make and continue to make its own
credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate. Except for 
  

 81 








 
documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by an Agent to the Lenders or L/C Issuers, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or L/C Issuer
with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party that may come in to the possession of such
Agent or any of its Related Persons. 
 (b) If any Lender or L/C Issuer has elected to abstain from receiving MNPI concerning
the Credit Parties or their Affiliates, such Lender or L/C Issuer acknowledges that, notwithstanding such election, Agents and/or the Credit Parties will, from time to time, make available syndicate-information (which may contain MNPI) as required
by the terms of, or in the course of administering the Loans to the credit contact(s) identified for receipt of such information on the Lender’s administrative questionnaire who are able to receive and use all syndicate-level information (which
may contain MNPI) in accordance with such Lender’s compliance policies and contractual obligations and applicable law, including federal and state securities laws; provided, that if such contact is not so identified in such questionnaire, the
relevant Lender or L/C Issuer hereby agrees to promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) provide such a contact to an Agent and the Credit Parties upon request therefor by Agents or the Credit Parties. Notwithstanding such
Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s election to abstain from receiving MNPI, such Lender or L/C Issuer acknowledges that if such Lender or L/C Issuer chooses to communicate with an Agent, it assumes the risk of receiving MNPI concerning the Credit
Parties or their Affiliates. 
 8.8 Expenses; Indemnities. 

(a) Each Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party)
promptly upon demand, severally and ratably, for any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Credit Party) that may be incurred by
such Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy,
restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document. 
 (b) Each Lender further agrees to indemnify each Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party), severally and ratably, from and against Liabilities (including
taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or any of its Related Persons in any
matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document, any Related Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken
or omitted to be taken by such Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted
primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. 

 

 82 








 (c) To the extent required by any applicable law, each Agent may withhold from any payment
to any Lender under a Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that an Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the
account of any Lender (because the appropriate certification form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or fails to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax with respect to a particular type of payment, or because such
Lender failed to notify an Agent or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), or such Agent reasonably determines that it was required to
withhold taxes from a prior payment but failed to do so, such Lender shall promptly indemnify such Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and together with all
expenses incurred by such Agent, including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses. Each Agent may offset against any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document, any applicable withholding tax that was required to be
withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which such Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Lender under this Section 8.8(c). 

8.9 Resignation of Agent or L/C Issuer. 
 (a) Either Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the other Agent, Lenders and the Borrowers, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set
forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective. If an Agent delivers any such notice, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If, within 30 days after the retiring Agent having given notice of
resignation, no successor Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders. Each appointment under this
clause (a) shall be subject to the prior consent of Holdings, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
each Agent may resign concurrently with, and effective upon, the consummation by the Second Lien Lenders of the purchase option set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof. 

(b) Effective immediately upon its resignation, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the
Loan Documents, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the retiring Agent until a successor Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the retiring Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer
have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Agent was, or because such Agent had been, validly acting as Agent under the Loan Documents and
(iv) subject to its rights under Section 8.3, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance
of a valid appointment as Agent, a successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, obligations, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents. 

 

 83 








 (c) Any L/C Issuer may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to
Agents, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, on the date such notice shall be effective. Upon such resignation, the L/C Issuer shall remain an L/C Issuer and shall retain its rights and obligations
in its capacity as such (other than any obligation to Issue Letters of Credit but including the right to receive fees or to have Lenders participate in any L/C Reimbursement Obligation thereof) with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such L/C
Issuer prior to the date of such resignation and shall otherwise be discharged from all other duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. 
 8.10 Release of Collateral or Guarantors. Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby consents to the release and hereby directs the Appropriate Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (b)(ii) below,
release or subordinate) the following: 
 (a) any Subsidiary of a Borrower from its guaranty of any Obligation if all of the
Stock and Stock Equivalents of such Subsidiary owned by any Credit Party are sold or transferred in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such
transaction, such Subsidiary would not be required to guaranty any Obligations pursuant to Section 4.13; and 
 (b) any
Lien held by the Appropriate Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against (i) any Collateral that is sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by a Credit Party in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents (including
pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent all Liens required to be granted in such Collateral pursuant to Section 4.13 after giving effect to such transaction have been granted, (ii) any property subject to a Lien permitted
hereunder in reliance upon subsection 5.1(h) or (i) and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Credit Parties, upon (A) termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments, (B) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans, all L/C
Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) under the Loan Documents and all Obligations arising under Secured Rate Contracts, that the Appropriate Agent has theretofore been
notified in writing by the holder of such Obligation are then due and payable, (C) deposit of cash collateral with respect to all contingent Obligations (or, as an alternative to cash collateral, in the case of any Letter of Credit Obligation,
receipt by the Appropriate Agent of a back-up letter of credit) in amounts and on terms and conditions and with parties satisfactory to such Agent and each Indemnitee that is, or may be, owed such Obligations (excluding contingent Obligations (other
than L/C Reimbursement Obligations) as to which no claim has been asserted) and (D) to the extent requested by an Agent, receipt by such Agent and the Secured Parties of liability releases from the Credit Parties each in form and substance
acceptable to such Agent. 
 Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby directs each Agent, and each Agent hereby agrees, upon receipt of reasonable
advance notice from the Appropriate Borrower, to execute and deliver or file such documents and to perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the guaranties and Liens when and as directed in this Section 8.10. 

8.11 Additional Secured Parties. The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any
Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender or L/C Issuer party hereto as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among Agents and all other Secured

  

 84 








 
Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by an Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to such Agent) this Article VIII,
Section 9.3, Section 9.9, Section 9.10, Section 9.11, Section 9.17, Section 9.24 and Section 10.1 (and, solely with respect to L/C Issuers, subsection 1.1(c)) and the decisions and actions of Agents, the Required
Lenders, the Required US Lenders or the Required Canadian Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders or other parties hereto as required herein) to the same extent a Lender is bound;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 8.8 only to the extent of Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit
of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of pro rata share or similar concept, (b) each of Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers party hereto shall be entitled
to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is
otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (c) except as otherwise set forth herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent
to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document. 
 8.12 Documentation Agent and Syndication Agent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Documentation Agent and
Syndication Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, nor shall the Documentation Agent and Syndication Agent have or be deemed to have 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 Documentation Agent and Syndication Agent. At any time that any Lender serving (or whose Affiliate is serving) as
Documentation Agent and/or Syndication Agent shall have transferred to any other Person (other than any Affiliates) all of its interests in the Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitment, such Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender acting as
Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent) shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as such Documentation Agent and/or Syndication Agent. 
  

 85

(a) Each Credit Party agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective
Related Persons (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against all Liabilities (including brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any
matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) any Loan Document, any Related Agreement, any Obligation (or the repayment thereof), any Letter of Credit, the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Loan or the
use of any Letter of Credit or any securities filing of, or with respect to, any Credit Party, (ii) any commitment letter, proposal letter or term sheet with any Person or any Contractual Obligation, arrangement or understanding with any

Electronic Transmissions, (iii) any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of securities or creditors (and including
attorneys’ fees in any case), whether or not any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirement of Law or theory
thereof, including common law, equity, contract, tort or otherwise or (iv) any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however,
that no Credit Party shall have any liability under this Section 9.6 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise
liable), to the extent such liability has resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. Furthermore, each of
the Borrowers and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Credit Party to waive and not assert against any Indemnitee, any right of contribution with respect
to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person, to the extent such liability has resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.

Matters” includes all Environmental Liabilities, including those arising from, or otherwise involving, any property of any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to property or
natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such property or natural resource or any property on or contiguous to any Real Estate of any Credit Party or any Related Person of
any Credit Party, whether or not, with respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor-in-interest to any Credit Party or any Related Person of
any Credit Party or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of any Related Person through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such Environmental Liabilities (i) are incurred solely following foreclosure by Agent or
following Agent or any Lender having become the successor-in-interest to any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party and (ii) are attributable solely to acts of such Indemnitee.

 9.7 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to
marshal any property in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from Borrower, from any other Credit Party, from the proceeds of the
Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if
such payment had not occurred. 
 9.8 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that any assignment by any Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.9, and provided further that no Borrower may assign or transfer
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Agent and each Lender. 
 9.9
Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect. 
 (a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when
it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties signatory hereto and Agents and when US Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, Holdings, the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties hereto (in each case except for Article VIII), each Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer party hereto and, to the extent provided in
Section 8.11, each other Secured Party and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document (including in Section 8.9), none of Holdings, the Borrowers, any other Credit
Party, any L/C Issuer or Agents shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein. 

(b) Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign (a “Sale”) all or a portion of its rights and
obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit) to (i) any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender), (ii) any
Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender)or (iii) any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to Agents and each L/C Issuer that is a
Lender and, as long as no Specified Event of Default is continuing, the Borrowers (which acceptances of L/C Issuer and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have been given unless an objection is delivered to US Agent within five (5) Business Days
after notice of a proposed Sale is delivered to the Borrowers); provided, however, that (v) such Sales must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender (and its Affiliates and Approved Funds) with respect to
US Revolving Loans and Canadian Revolving Loans (and the Commitments with respect thereto), (w) for each Loan, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans,
Commitments and Letter of Credit Obligations subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 with respect to each of the US Revolving Loan Commitment and the Canadian Revolving Loan Commitment, unless such Sale is made to an
existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its 

 

 92 








 
Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in such facility or is made with the prior consent of the Borrowers (to the extent Borrowers’ consent is otherwise required) and Agents,
(x) interest accrued prior to and through the date of any such Sale may not be assigned, (y) such Sales by Lenders who are Non-Funding Lenders due to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lenders shall be subject to Agents’
prior written consent in all instances, unless in connection with such sale, such Non-Funding Lender cures, or causes the cure of, its Non-Funding Lender status as contemplated in subsection 1.11(e)(v) and (z) the Borrowers’ consent shall
be required (and may be withheld in the Borrowers’ discretion notwithstanding the foregoing) with respect to an assignment to (I) any Person identified on the List of Identified Financial Institutions prepared by Borrowers and delivered to
US Agent prior to the Closing Date (as such list is in effect on the Closing Date without any revision or update thereto not consented to in writing by US Agent in its sole discretion), which List of Identified Financial Institutions shall be
provided to any Lender (or prospective Lender) upon such Lender’s (or prospective Lender’s) request and (II) a Person (A) who is set forth on the List of Competitors (which List of Competitors shall be provided to any Lender (or
prospective Lender) upon such Lender’s (or prospective Lender’s) request) prepared by Borrowers and delivered to US Agent prior to the Closing Date (as such list may be updated not more than two (2) times during any twelve
(12) consecutive month period; provided any new Person added to such list shall be reasonably determined by US Agent and Borrowers to be in direct competition with the business of the Borrowers as conducted on the date hereof) (each Person
included on such List of Competitors, a “Competitor”), (B) a Person who owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the equity securities of a Competitor (such Person, a “Competitor Owner”), (C) a Person who is
controlled by a Competitor Owner (for the purposes hereof, “control” being the power to direct or cause the direction of management and policies of a person, whether by contract or otherwise) or (D) a direct or indirect Subsidiary of
a Competitor; provided, further, that the List of Identified Financial Institutions shall not be permitted to be updated more than one (1) time during any twelve (12) consecutive month period or, in any event, without the consent of US
Agent. Neither any Agent nor any assigning Lender shall have any duty to inquire as to whether any prospective Lender is a Person described in the preceding clauses (I) or (II), nor shall any Agent or any assigning Lender incur any liability to
any Credit Party or any other Person for consummating a Sale to a Person described in the preceding clauses (I) or (II), it being agreed to and understood that the applicable Assignment shall contain representations and warranties by the
assignee Lender that it is not a Person described in the preceding clauses (I) or (II) and such assignee Lender shall be solely liable for any breach of such representation and warranty. An Agent’s refusal to accept a Sale to a Credit
Party, an Affiliate of a Credit Party, a holder of Subordinated Indebtedness or an Affiliate of such a holder, or to a Person that would be a Non-Funding or an Impacted Lender, or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including limitations on
voting) upon Sales to such Persons, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable.  
 (c) Procedure. The parties to each
Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to the Appropriate Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by Agents (or, if
previously agreed with Agents, via a manual execution and delivery of the Assignment) evidencing such Sale, together with any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to Agents), any tax forms required to be
delivered pursuant to Section 10.1 and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 to the Appropriate Agent, unless waived or reduced by such Agent; provided that (i) if a Sale by a Lender is made

  

 93 








 
to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Sale, and (ii) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an assignee that is
not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds of such Assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such Sale (unless waived or reduced by
Agent). Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such Assignment is made in accordance with clause (iii) of subsection 9.9(b), upon Agents (and the Borrowers, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment,
from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment to the extent applicable. 

(d) Effectiveness. Subject to the recording of an Assignment by US Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection 1.4(b) to the
extent applicable, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and
obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it
pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to
events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto). 
 (e) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each
Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal
reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Indebtedness or equity securities, by notice to Agents;
provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be
entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder. 
 (f)
Participants and SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each Lender may, (x) with notice to Agents, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be
required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive
payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from Agents or the Borrowers, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all
its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit); provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant
shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, 

 

 94 








 
none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties
towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that (A) each such
participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Article X, but, with respect to Section 10.1, only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the tax forms such Lender is required to collect pursuant to subsection 10.1(f) and then
only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded
by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above)
shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (iii) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent
hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to
enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of subsection 9.1(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise
be entitled and, in the case of participants, except for those described in clause (vi) of subsection 9.1(a). No party hereto shall institute (and the Borrowers and Holdings shall cause each other Credit Party not to institute) against any SPV
grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such
SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding
(including a failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations. 

9.10 Non-Public Information; Confidentiality. 
 (a) Non-Public Information. Each Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it may receive material non-public information (“MNPI”) hereunder concerning the
Credit Parties and their Affiliates and agrees to use such information in compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and applicable Requirements of Laws (including United States federal and state securities laws and regulations). 

(b) Confidential Information. Each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Agent agrees to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in
accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document and designated in writing by any Credit Party as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the
Borrowers’ consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent, as the case may be, or to any Person that any L/C Issuer causes to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, that are advised of the confidential nature of such
information and are instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) to the extent such information 

 

 95 








 
presently is or hereafter becomes (A) publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.10 or (B) available to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent or any of
their Related Persons, as the case may be, from a source (other than any Credit Party) not known by them to be subject to disclosure restrictions, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal
process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority, (v) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements, (vi) (A) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar
organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency or (B) otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify Credit Parties, (vii) to current or prospective assignees, SPVs
(including the investors or prospective investors therein) or participants, direct or contractual counterparties to any Secured Rate Contracts and to their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, investors,
participants, counterparties or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 9.10 (and such Person may disclose information to their respective Related Persons in accordance with clause
(ii) above), (viii) to any other party hereto, and (ix) in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, in connection with any litigation or other proceeding to which such Lender, L/C
Issuer or Agent or any of their Related Persons is a party or bound, or to the extent necessary to respond to public statements or disclosures by Credit Parties or their Related Persons referring to a Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent or any of their
Related Persons. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 9.10 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Credit Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 9.10 shall
govern. 
 (c) Tombstones. Each Credit Party consents to the publication by Agents or any Lender of advertising material
relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using a Borrower’s or any other Credit Party’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark. An Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft of any advertising material to
Borrowers within a reasonable period of time prior to publication for review and consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) prior to the publication thereof. 
 (d) Press Release and Related Matters. No Credit Party shall, and no Credit Party shall permit any of its Affiliates to, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document
filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of securities of any Credit Party) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to GE Capital, GE Canada or of any of their Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any transaction
contemplated therein to which Agent is party without the prior consent of GE Capital or GE Canada, as applicable, except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after consulting with GE Capital or GE
Canada, as applicable. 
 (e) Distribution of Materials to Lenders and L/C Issuers. The Credit Parties acknowledge and
agree that the Loan Documents and all reports, notices, communications and other information or materials provided or delivered by, or on behalf of, the Credit Parties hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) may be disseminated
by, or on behalf of, Agents, and made available, to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers by posting such Borrower Materials on an E-System. The Credit Parties authorize Agents to download copies of their logos from its website and post copies thereof on
an E-System. 
  

 96 








 (f) Material Non-Public Information. The Credit Parties hereby agree that if either
they, any parent company or any Subsidiary of the Credit Parties has publicly traded equity or debt securities in the United States, they shall (and shall cause such parent company or Subsidiary, as the case may be, to) (i) identify in writing,
and (ii) to the extent reasonably practicable, clearly and conspicuously mark such Borrower Materials that contain only information that is publicly available or that is not material for purposes of United States federal and state securities
laws as “PUBLIC”. The Credit Parties agree that by identifying such Borrower Materials as “PUBLIC” or publicly filing such Borrower Materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission, then Agents, the Lenders and the L/C
Issuers shall be entitled to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws. The Credit Parties further represent, warrant, acknowledge and agree that the following documents
and materials shall be deemed to be PUBLIC, whether or not so marked, and do not contain any MNPI: (A) the Loan Documents, including the schedules and exhibits attached thereto, and (B) administrative materials of a customary nature
prepared by the Credit Parties or Agents (including, Notices of Borrowing, Notices of Conversion/Continuation, L/C Requests, Swingline requests and any similar requests or notices posted on or through an E-System). Before distribution of any
Borrower Materials, the Credit Parties agree to execute and deliver to Agent a letter authorizing distribution of the evaluation materials to prospective Lenders and their employees willing to receive MNPI, and a separate letter authorizing
distribution of evaluation materials that do not contain MNPI and represent that no MNPI is contained therein. 
 9.11
Set-off; Sharing of Payments. 
 (a) Right of Setoff. Each of each Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each
Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Credit Party), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default
and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations
at any time owing by such Agent, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower or any other Credit Party against any Obligation of any Credit Party now or hereafter existing,
whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. No Lender or L/C Issuer shall exercise any such right of setoff without the prior consent of Agents or
Required Lenders. Each of each Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and Agents after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 9.11 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Agents, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, their
Affiliates and the other Secured Parties, may have. 
 (b) Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender, directly or through
an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Credit Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined
under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Section 9.9 or Article X and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been 

 

 97 








 
entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, Agents in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Lenders
such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by Agents and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if
such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrowers, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender or L/C Issuer in whole
or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender or L/C Issuer without interest and (b) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able
to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the applicable Credit Party in the amount of such participation. If a Non-Funding Lender
receives any such payment as described in the previous sentence, such Lender shall turn over such payments to the Appropriate Agent in an amount that would satisfy the cash collateral requirements set forth in subsection 1.11(e). 

9.12 Counterparts; Facsimile Signature. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to
a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 

9.13 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required
hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder. 
 9.14 Captions. The captions and headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. 

9.15 Independence of Provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may use several
different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or similar matters, and that such limitations, tests and measurements are cumulative and must each be performed, except as expressly stated to the contrary in this Agreement.

 9.16 Interpretation. This Agreement is the result of negotiations among and has been reviewed by counsel to Credit
Parties, Agents, each Lender and other parties hereto, and is the product of all parties hereto. Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be construed against the Lenders or Agents merely because of Agents’ or
Lenders’ involvement in the preparation of such documents and agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties hereto has had the advice of counsel with respect to Sections 9.18 and 9.19. 

 

 98 








 9.17 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole
protection and legal benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers party hereto, Agents and, subject to the provisions of Section 8.11, each other Secured Party, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person
shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. None of the Agents or any Lender shall have any obligation to any
Person not a party to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 (b) Execution of this Agreement by the Credit Parties constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all claims which each Credit Party may have at law or in equity in respect of all

 9.22 Replacement of Lender. Within forty-five days after: (i) receipt by the a
Borrower of written notice and demand from any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) for payment of additional costs as provided in Sections 10.1, 10.3 and/or 10.6; or (ii) any failure by any Lender (other than an Agent or an Affiliate of an
Agent) to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Loan Document in which Required Lenders have already consented to such amendment, waiver or modification but the consent of each Lender (or each Lender directly affected
thereby, as applicable) is required with respect thereto, such Borrower may, at its option, notify Agents and such Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender) of such Borrower’s intention to obtain, at such Borrower’s expense, a
replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender), which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agents. In the event such Borrower obtains a Replacement Lender within
forty-five (45) days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender) shall sell and assign its Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender, at par, provided that such Borrower has reimbursed
such Affected Lender for its increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment pursuant to Section 9.9
within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 9.22 and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment evidencing an assignment pursuant to this
Section 9.22, such Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment so executed by such Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Appropriate Agent, shall be
effective for purposes of this Section 9.22 and Section 9.9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, an Agent or a Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain a
Replacement Lender and execute an Assignment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender at any time with three (3) Business’ Days prior notice to such Lender or an Impacted Lender (unless notice is not practicable under the
circumstances) and cause such Lender’s Loans and Commitments to be sold and assigned, in whole or in part, at par; provided, such Replacement Lender identified by a Borrower shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agents. Upon any such assignment
and payment and compliance with the other provisions of Section 9.9, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall
survive. 
 9.23 Joint and Several. The obligations of (a) the Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents are joint and several with respect to such Credit Parties in accordance and to the extent set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and (b) the Canadian Credit Parties are joint and several with respect to such Credit Parties
in accordance and to the extent set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reference is hereby made to Article II of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, to which the obligations of Borrower
and the other Credit Parties are subject. 
 9.24 Creditor-Debtor Relationship. The relationship between each Agent, each
Lender and the L/C Issuer, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Credit Party arising out of or in connection with, and there
is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Credit Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

 9.25 Risk Participation. 

(a) Prior to the occurrence of a Reallocation Event, all payments of principal, accrued interest and fees, including all optional and
mandatory prepayments of principal made pursuant to Section 1.7 and 1.8 of this Agreement, shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (other than this Section 9.25). 

(b) On the date of a Reallocation Event, the Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have purchased and sold (without any obligation to
advance funds), effective as of the date of such Reallocation Event, sufficient participations in the other Loans so that, as a result of such purchases and sales, all of the Lenders of each Loan will hold an interest in each of the Revolving Loans
in proportion to their respective Reallocation Percentages. 
 (c) After the occurrence of a Reallocation Event, subject to
subsection 1.10(c), all payments made with respect to the Loans and proceeds of Collateral securing the Loans shall be applied by the Agents to each Loan and distributed by the Agents to all of the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Reallocation Percentages (it being understood that neither payments made by the Canadian Borrower nor proceeds of the Canadian Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiary’s shall be applied to the US Loans; it being understood and agreed, however,
that in the case of any such Foreign Subsidiary all of the outstanding voting equity interest of which are owned by a Credit Party that is incorporated or otherwise organized under the laws of a State of the United States of America, payments with
respect to or proceeds of 65% of such Subsidiary’s outstanding voting equity interest and 100% of such Foreign Subsidiary’s outstanding non-voting equity interest may be applied to the US Loans). 

(d) Each Lender holding a participation acquired pursuant to this Section 9.25 shall be deemed to be a holder of such participation
for all purposes of this Agreement. 
 (e) Each Lender’s obligations to purchase participations or to make
post-Reallocation Event advances under this Agreement are, subject to all applicable laws, absolute and unconditional, shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, and shall not be subject to the defense of commercial
frustration or failure of performance by any Credit Party or any so-called suretyship or similar equitable or legal discharges or defenses, including, without limitation, (i) the financial condition of any Credit Party at any time,
(ii) the insolvency or bankruptcy of any Credit Party or the inability of any Credit Party to pay its debts as they accrue, (iii) the discharge of any obligations of any Credit Party in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding,
(iv) the invalidity of any documents evidencing or securing any obligations of any Credit Party under any of the Loan Documents, (v) any action or inaction of any Agent or any other Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, including the
release or other disposition of Collateral or lack of diligence in collection or realization for any obligations of any Credit Party, (vi) the dissolution or non-existence of any Credit Party as a legal entity, (vii) any amendment, renewal
or extension in respect of any of the Loan Documents, (viii) the adequacy of the Collateral to satisfy all or any of the Obligations, (ix) the loss or non-existence of any subrogation rights on behalf of any Lender, or (x) any fraud
or misappropriation of funds or property by or on behalf of any Credit Party. 
  

 102 








 (f) All purchases of participations pursuant to this Section 9.25 shall be without
recourse or warranty of any kind or nature to the Lenders selling such participations, other than warranties of title and non-encumbrance with respect to the participations being purchased and sold. For the avoidance of doubt in respect of any
participation transferred under this Section 9.25, subject to clause (d) of this Section 9.25, the transferor of such participation shall, for purposes of this Agreement, remain the Lender of record. 

(g) The Credit Parties shall have no obligations under this Section 9.25. 

ARTICLE X - 
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 10.1 Taxes. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.1, each payment by any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free
and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto (and without deduction for any of them) (collectively, but excluding the taxes set forth in clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) below, the “Taxes”) other than for (i) taxes measured by net income (including branch profits taxes) and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, in each case imposed on any Secured Party as a
result of a present or former connection between such Secured Party and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than such connection arising solely
from any Secured Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, any Loan Document), (ii) taxes that are directly attributable to the failure (other than, as a result of a change in any
Requirement of Law) by any Secured Party to deliver the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to clause (f) below, or (iii) any taxes imposed as a result of the failure (other than, as a result of a change in any Requirement of
Law) of any Non-U.S. Lender Party to satisfy the information gathering and reporting requirements as set forth in sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code. 
 (b) If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document to any Secured Party (i) such amount shall be increased as necessary to
ensure that, after all required deductions for Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 10.1), such Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been
made, (ii) the relevant Credit Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Credit Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of
Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, the relevant Credit Party shall deliver to the Appropriate Agent an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment; provided, however, that no such increase shall be made
with respect to, and no Credit Party shall be required to indemnify any Secured Party pursuant to clause (d) below for, withholding taxes to the extent that the obligation to withhold amounts existed on the date that such Person became a
‘Secured Party” under this Agreement in the capacity under which such Person makes a claim under this clause (b), except in each case to the extent such 

 

 103 








 
Person is a direct or indirect assignee (other than pursuant to Section 9.22) of any other Secured Party and to the extent such Secured Party was entitled, at the time the assignment to such
Person became effective, to receive additional amounts under this clause (b). 
 (c) In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay,
and authorize each Agent to pay in their name, any stamp, documentary, excise or property tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by
reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, “Other Taxes”). The
Swingline Lenders may, without any need for notice, demand or consent from the Borrowers, by making funds available to the Appropriate Agent in the amount equal to any such payment, make a Swing Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount, the
proceeds of which shall be used by such Agent in whole to make such payment. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Credit Party, the Borrowers shall furnish to Agents, at its address referred to in
Section 9.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. 
 (d) The Borrowers shall reimburse
and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to Agents), each Secured Party for all Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 10.1)
paid by such Secured Party and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the Secured Party (or of an Agent on behalf of such Secured
Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrowers with copy to Agents, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In
determining such amount, such Agent and such Secured Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 
 (e) Any
Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change
would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 

(f)(i) Each Non-U.S. Lender Party that, at any of the following times, is entitled to an exemption from United States withholding tax or,
after a change in any Requirement of Law, is subject to such withholding tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder,
(x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this
clause (i) and (z) from time to time if requested by the US Borrower or US Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide US Agent and the US Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant
Lender) with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable: (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN (claiming exemption
from, or a 
  

 104 








 
reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) and/or W-8IMY or any successor forms, (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or
881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate in form and substance acceptable to US Agent that such Non-U.S. Lender Party is not
(1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (C) any other applicable document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender Party to such exemption from United States withholding tax
or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party under the Loan Documents. Unless the Borrowers and Agents have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan
Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender Party are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Credit Parties and Agents shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by
applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. 
 (ii) Each U.S. Lender Party shall
(A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a “U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any
event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f) and (D) from time to time if requested by the US Borrower or an Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the
relevant Lender), provide Agents and the Borrowers (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup
withholding tax) or any successor form. 
 (iii) Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or identified
an SPV as such to the Appropriate Agent shall collect from such participant or SPV the documents described in this clause (f) and provide them to Appropriate Agent. 
 (g) If an Agent or any Lender receives a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 10.1 and provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall pay to the applicable Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental authority with respect to such refund); provided, the Borrowers, upon the request of an Agent or such Lender, shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus
any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Appropriate Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph
shall not be construed to require the Agents or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 

 

 105 








 10.2 Illegality. If after the date hereof any Lender shall determine that the
introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for
any Lender or its Lending Office to make LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the US Borrower through US Agent, the obligation of that Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender shall have notified US
Agent and the US Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exists. 
 (a) Subject to clause
(c) below, if any Lender shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, the US Borrower shall prepay in full all LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last
day of the Interest Period thereof if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans, together with any amounts required to
be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 10.4. 
 (b) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR
Rate Loans has been terminated, the US Borrower may elect, by giving notice to such Lender through US Agent that all Loans which would otherwise be made by any such Lender as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans. 

(c) Before giving any notice to US Agent pursuant to this Section 10.2, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending
Office with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender. 

10.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. 
 (a) If any Lender or L/C Issuer shall determine that, due to either (i) the introduction of, or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) subsequent to the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the cost to such
Lender or L/C Issuer of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loans or of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, then the Borrowers shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, within thirty (30) days of
demand therefor by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy of such demand to Agents), pay to the Appropriate Agent for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such
increased costs; provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this subsection 10.3(a) for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer
notifies the Borrowers, in writing of the increased costs and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then
the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
  

 106 








 (b) If any Lender or L/C Issuer shall have determined that: 

(i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation; 

(ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation; 

(iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other
Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof; or 
 (iv) compliance by such
Lender or L/C Issuer (or its Lending Office) or any entity controlling the Lender or L/C Issuer, with any Capital Adequacy Regulation; 

affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or L/C Issuer or any entity controlling such Lender or L/C Issuer and
(taking into consideration such Lender’s or such entities’ policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a
consequence of its Commitment(s), loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, within thirty (30) days of demand of such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy to Agents), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, from time
to time as specified by such Lender or L/C Issuer, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer (or the entity controlling the Lender or L/C Issuer) for such increase; provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to
compensate any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this subsection 10.3(b) for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer notifies the Borrowers, in writing of the amounts and of such Lender’s or L/C
Issuer’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the event giving rise to such increase is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 10.4 Funding Losses. The Borrowers agree to reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or
expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of: 
 (a) the failure of a Borrower to make any payment or
mandatory prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan (including payments made after any acceleration thereof); 
 (b) the failure of a Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after a Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation; 

(c) the failure of the Borrower to make any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with Section 1.7;

 (d) the prepayment (including pursuant to Section 1.8) of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day which is not the last day of the
Interest Period with respect thereto, or a BA Rate Loan on a day which is not the last day of the BA Period with respect thereto; or 
  

 107 








 (e) the conversion pursuant to Section 1.6 of any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan,
or of any BA Rate Loan to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period or BA Period, as applicable; 
 including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which
such funds were obtained; provided that, with respect to the expenses described in clauses (d) and (e) above, such Lender shall have notified Agent of any such expense within two (2) Business Days of the date on which such expense was
incurred. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 10.4 and under subsection 10.3(a): each LIBOR Rate Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR used in determining the interest rate for such LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a
comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan is in fact so funded. 
 10.5 Inability to Determine Rates. If US
Agent shall have determined in good faith that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or that the LIBOR applicable pursuant to
subsection 1.3(a) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding or maintaining such Loan, US Agent will forthwith give notice of such
determination to the US Borrower and each US Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until US Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the US
Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it. If the US Borrower does not revoke such notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the US Borrower, in the
amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the US Borrower, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans. 
 10.6 Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans. The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board to maintain reserves with respect
to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan equal to actual costs of such
reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan provided the Borrower shall
have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice (with a copy to US Agent) of such additional interest from the Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such
additional interest shall be payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice. 
 10.7 Certificates of Lenders.
Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article X shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Appropriate Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder
and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.

their reasonable discretion, the equivalent in Dollars of any amount expressed in any currency other than Dollars and otherwise may, but shall not be obligated to, rely on any determination made by any Credit Party or any L/C Issuer. Any such
determination or redetermination by Agents shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. No determination or redetermination by any Secured Party or any Credit Party and no other currency conversion shall change or release
any obligation of any Credit Party or of any 
  

 141 








 
Secured Party (other than Agents and their Related Persons) under any Loan Document, each of which agrees to pay separately for any shortfall remaining after any conversion and payment of the

expense reimbursements hereunder shall be paid in Dollars. For purposes of preparing financial statements, amounts in any currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars based on GAAP, consistently applied, for the purposes of preparing
cash flow statements and income statements. If the Appropriate Agent receives any payment from or on behalf of any Credit Party in a currency other than the currency in which the relevant Obligation is denominated, the Appropriate Agent may convert
the payment (including the monetary proceeds of realization upon any Collateral and any Funds held in a cash collateral account) into the currency in which the relevant Obligation is payable at the exchange rate published in the Wall Street Journal
on the Business Day closest in time to the date on which such payment was due (or if such reference is not available, by such other method reasonably determined by Appropriate Agent). The relevant Obligations shall be satisfied only to the extent of
the amount actually received by the Appropriate Agent upon such conversion. Unless otherwise specified herein, all determinations of US Dollar Equivalents (calculating financial covenants and determining compliance with covenants expressed in
Dollars) shall be determined by reference to the Wall Street Journal published on the Business Day closest in time to the relevant date of determination or for the relevant period of determination or by such other method reasonably determined by the
Appropriate Agent in accordance with such Appropriate Agent’s customary practice for commercial loans being administered by it. 
 11.5 Judgment Currency. 
 (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing
judgment against any Credit Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 11.5 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount
due under any Loan Document in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment
of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of the Province of Ontario or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the
case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 11.5 being hereinafter in this Section 11.5 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion
Date”). 
 (b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 11.5(a),
there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Credit Party or Credit Parties shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any
event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will

  

 142 








 
produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange
prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Credit Party under this Section 11.5(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of
any of the Loan Documents. 
 (c) The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 11.5 means the rate of exchange at
which the Appropriate Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon (Toronto time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with Agent’s normal course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment
Currency.

	 	•	 	 On March 31, 2006, Thermon Americas, Inc. was merged with and into Thermon Manufacturing Company, with Thermon Manufacturing Company surviving the
merger. 


  

	 	•	 	 Prior to the 2007 transaction by which Audax Private Equity Fund II, L.P. acquired control of the Borrowers and all of Borrowers’ Subsidiaries
(the “Audax Acquisition”), Thermon Canada Inc. was a direct and wholly-owned subsidiary of Thermon Manufacturing Company, which in turn was a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of Thermon Industries, Inc. After several intermediate steps,
the result 










	 	 
of the Audax Acquisition was that Thermon Canada Inc. became a direct and wholly-owned subsidiary of Thermon Holding Corp., an entity that did not exist prior to the Audax Acquisition. In
connection with this transaction the jurisdiction of organization of Thermon Canada Inc. changed from Alberta to Nova Scotia on September 19, 2007. 



 

	 	•	 	 On April 16, 2010, Thermon International Sales Corporation–II, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thermon Manufacturing Company, was merged with
and into Thermon Manufacturing Company, with Thermon Manufacturing Company surviving the merger.
