 (1) The Borrower has requested that the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer (as hereafter defined) extend credit to the Borrower to refinance the Existing Facilities (as hereinafter
defined) and to provide working capital and funds for other lawful purposes. 
 (2) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer are willing to extend credit and make available to the Borrower the credit facility provided for herein for the foregoing purposes. 
 AGREEMENT: 
 In consideration of the premises
and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I. 
 DEFINITIONS AND TERMS 
 Section 1.1.
Certain Defined Terms. As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings herein specified unless the context otherwise requires: 
 “Acquisition” shall mean any transaction or series of related transactions for the purpose of or resulting, directly or indirectly, in (i) any acquisition on a going concern basis (whether by purchase, lease or
otherwise) of any facility and/or business or business unit operated by any person that is not a Subsidiary of the Borrower, (ii) the acquisition of a majority of the outstanding Equity Interest in any such person (whether by merger, stock
purchase or otherwise), (iii) the affiliation with a dental group through the acquisition of selected assets consistent with the past practices of the Borrower, (iv) the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of any person,
or any business or division of any person, (v) any transaction in which the Borrower or any Subsidiary enters into a Management Service Agreement or any similar agreement or affiliation and (vi) the acquisition of another person by a
merger, consolidation, amalgamation or any other combination with such person. 
 “Additional Security Document”
shall have the meaning provided in Section 8.11(a). 
 “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” shall mean, with respect to each
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan, the greater of: (i) (A) the rate per annum equal to the offered rate appearing on the applicable 








 
electronic page of Reuters (or on the appropriate page of any successor to or substitute for such service, or, if such rate is not available, on the
appropriate page of any generally recognized financial information service, as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time) that displays an average British Bankers Association Interest Settlement Rate at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London
time) two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, for deposits in Dollars with a maturity comparable to such Interest Period, divided (and rounded to the nearest one hundredth of 1%) by (B) a percentage equal to 100%
minus the then stated maximum rate of all reserve requirements (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves and without benefit of credits for proration, exceptions or offsets that may be
available from time to time) applicable to any member bank of the Federal Reserve System in respect of Eurocurrency liabilities as defined in Regulation D (or any successor category of liabilities under Regulation D); provided,
however, that in the event that the rate referred to in clause (A) above is not available at any such time for any reason, then the rate referred to in clause (A) shall instead be the interest rate per annum, as determined by the
Administrative Agent, to be the average (rounded to the nearest ten thousandth of 1%) of the rates per annum at which deposits in Dollars in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Loan are offered to the Reference Banks in the London
interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time), two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, for contracts that would be entered into at the commencement of such Interest Period for the same duration as such
Interest Period and (ii) 2.00%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for the Hedged Portion of the Term Loan shall equal clause (i) above so long as the Hedge Condition is in effect. 
 “Administrative Agent” shall have the meaning provided in the first paragraph of this Agreement and shall include any successor to the
Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to Section 11.9. 
 “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any person, any
other person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with such person, or, in the case of any Lender that is an investment fund, the investment advisor thereof and any investment fund having the
same investment advisor. A person shall be deemed to control a second person if such first person possesses, directly or indirectly, the power (i) to vote 10% or more of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors
or managers of such second person or (ii) to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such second person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(x) a director, officer or employee of a person shall not, solely by reason of such status, be considered an Affiliate of such person; and (y) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall in any event be considered an Affiliate of
the Borrower or any other Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries. 
 “Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure”
shall mean, at any time, the sum of (i) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure at such time and (ii) the principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding at such time, and (iii) aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding
at such time. 
 “Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure” shall mean, at any time, the sum of (i) the principal amounts
of all Revolving Loans made by all Lenders and outstanding at such time and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time. 
 “Agreement” shall mean this Credit Agreement, as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified. 
 “Anti-Terrorism Law” shall mean the USA Patriot Act or any other law pertaining to the prevention of future acts of terrorism, in each
case as such law may be amended from time to time. 
  

 2 








 “Applicable Commitment Fee Rate” shall mean: 
 (i) On the Closing Date and thereafter, until changed hereunder in accordance with the provisions set forth in this definition, the
Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be 62.50 basis points; 
 (ii) Commencing with the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ended
on September 30, 2009, and continuing with each fiscal quarter thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate in accordance with the following matrix, based on the Leverage Ratio: 
  

			
	 Leverage Ratio
	  	Applicable Commitment Fee Rate
	 Greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00
	  	62.50 bps
	 Less than 2.00 to 1.00 and greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00
	  	50.00 bps
	 Less than 1.50 to 1.00
	  	37.50 bps

 (iii) Changes in the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate based upon changes in the Leverage Ratio shall
become effective on the third Business Day following the receipt by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b), as the case may be, of the financial statements of the Borrower for the Testing Period most recently
ended, accompanied by a Compliance Certificate required pursuant to Section 8.1(c), demonstrating the computation of the Leverage Ratio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any period when (A) the Borrower has failed to timely deliver
its consolidated financial statements referred to in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b), accompanied by a Compliance Certificate required pursuant to Section 8.1(c), (B) a Default under Section 10.1(a) has occurred and is
continuing, or (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be the highest number of basis points indicated therefor in the above matrix, regardless of the Leverage Ratio at such time. Any
changes in the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in this definition and the Administrative Agent will promptly provide notice of such determinations to the
Borrower and the Lenders. Any such determination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The above matrix does not modify or waive, in any respect, the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to
charge any default rate of interest or any of the other rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder. 
 (iv) In
the event that any financial statement or Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(a), (b) or (c) is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect
when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Commitment Fee Rate for an applicable period than the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate actually applied for such
applicable period, then (i) the Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Compliance Certificate for such applicable period, (ii) the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be determined as if such corrected,
higher Applicable Commitment Fee Rate were applicable for such period, and (iii) the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders and/or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuers, the
additional Commitment Fee owing (including for any retrospective periods) as a result of such higher Applicable Commitment Fee Rate for such period. This provision shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect
to any other provision of this Agreement. The Borrower’s obligations under this clause (iv) shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all Obligations hereunder. 
  

 3 








 “Applicable Lending Office” shall mean, with respect to each Lender, the office or
offices designated by such Lender to the Administrative Agent as such Lender’s lending office or offices for purposes of this Agreement. A Lender may have a different Applicable Lending Office for Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans.

 (i) On the Closing Date and thereafter, until changed hereunder in accordance with the following provisions, the Applicable Margin shall
be (A) 550.00 basis points for Base Rate Loans, and (B) 600.00 basis points for Eurodollar Loans; 
 (ii) Commencing
with the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ended on September 30, 2009, and continuing with each fiscal quarter thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Applicable Margin in accordance with the following matrix, based on the
Leverage Ratio: 
  

					
	 Leverage Ratio
	  	Applicable Margin for
Base Rate Loans	  	Applicable Margin for
Eurodollar Loans
	 Greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00
	  	550.00 bps	  	600.00 bps
	 Less than 2.00 to 1.00 and greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00
	  	525.00 bps	  	575.00 bps
	 Less than 1.50 to 1.00 and greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00
	  	500.00 bps	  	550.00 bps

 (a) Swing Loans. During the Revolving Facility Availability Period, the Swing Line Lender agrees,
on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a Swing Loan or Swing Loans to the Borrower from time to time, which Swing Loans (i) shall be payable on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable to each such Swing Loan;

outstanding does not exceed the Swing Line Commitment, and (B) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure plus the principal amount of Swing Loans would not exceed the Total Revolving Commitment; (v) shall not be made if, after
giving effect thereto, the Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 5.1(c) hereof; (vi) shall not be made if the proceeds thereof would be used to repay, in whole or in part,
any outstanding Swing Loan; and (vii) at no time shall there be more than five (5) Borrowings of Swing Loans outstanding hereunder. 
 (b) Swing Loan Refunding. The Swing Line Lender may at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, direct that the Swing Loans owing to it be refunded by delivering a notice to such effect to the Administrative Agent, specifying
the aggregate principal amount thereof (a “Notice of Swing Loan 

  

 29 








 
Refunding”); provided, however, that if the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent are the same person or are Affiliates, a Notice of
Swing Loan Refunding shall not be required to be delivered and the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to act as though such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding had been delivered. Promptly upon receipt of a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, the
Administrative Agent shall give notice of the contents thereof to the Lenders with Revolving Commitments and, unless an Event of Default specified in Section 10.1(h) in respect of the Borrower has occurred, the Borrower. Each such Notice of
Swing Loan Refunding shall be deemed to constitute delivery by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing requesting Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans in the amount of the Swing Loans to which it relates. Each Lender with a Revolving
Commitment (including the Swing Line Lender) hereby unconditionally agrees (notwithstanding that any of the conditions specified in Section 6.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not have been satisfied, but subject to the provisions of
paragraph (d) below) to make a Revolving Loan to the Borrower in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates. Each such Lender
shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office not later than 4:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office), if such notice is received by such Lender prior to
12:00 Noon. (local time at its Domestic Lending Office), or not later than 4:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the next Business Day, if such notice is received by such Lender after such time. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall
be made immediately available to the Swing Line Lender and applied by it to repay the principal amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates. 
 (c) Swing Loan Participation. If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would otherwise have been made as provided above as a consequence of a Notice
of Swing Loan Refunding, any of the events specified in Section 10.1(h) shall have occurred in respect of the Borrower or one or more of the Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall determine that it is legally prohibited from making a
Revolving Loan under such circumstances, each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), or each Lender (other than such Swing Line Lender) so prohibited, as the case may be, shall, on the date such Revolving Loan would have been made by it (the
“Purchase Date”), purchase an undivided participating interest (a “Swing Loan Participation”) in the outstanding Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates, in an amount (the “Swing
Loan Participation Amount”) equal to such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such outstanding Swing Loans. On the Purchase Date, each such Lender or each such Lender so prohibited, as the case may be, shall pay to the Swing Line
Lender, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Swing Loan Participation Amount, and promptly upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender shall, if requested by such other Lender, deliver to such Lender a participation certificate, dated
the date of the Swing Line Lender’s receipt of the funds from, and evidencing such Lender’s Swing Loan Participation in, such Swing Loans and its Swing Loan Participation Amount in respect thereof. If any amount required to be paid by a
Lender to the Swing Line Lender pursuant to the above provisions in respect of any Swing Loan Participation is not paid on the date such payment is due, such Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender on demand interest on the amount not so paid at
the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate from the due date until such amount is paid in full. Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any other Lender such Lender’s Swing Loan Participation Amount, the Swing Line
Lender receives any payment from or on behalf of the Borrower on account of the related Swing Loans, the Swing Line Lender will promptly distribute to such Lender its ratable share of such amount based on its Revolving Facility Percentage of such
amount on such date on account of its Swing Loan Participation (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided,
however, that if such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender. 
 (d) Obligations Unconditional. Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.4(b) and/or to purchase Swing Loan
Participations in connection with a Notice of Swing 

  

 30 








 
Loan Refunding shall be subject to the conditions that (i) such Lender shall have received, subject to the terms of Section 2.4(b), a Notice of
Swing Loan Refunding complying with the provisions hereof and (ii) at the time the Swing Loans that are the subject of such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding were made, the Swing Line Lender making the same had no actual written notice from
another Lender that an Event of Default had occurred and was continuing, but otherwise shall be absolute and unconditional, shall be solely for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender that gives such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, and shall not be
affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against any other Lender, any Credit Party, or any other person, or any Credit Party may
have against any Lender or other person, as the case may be, for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any event or circumstance involving a Material Adverse Effect; (D) any
breach of any Credit Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Eurodollar Loan, 12:00 Noon (local time at its Notice Office) at least three Business Days’ prior to the date of such Borrowing, (ii) in the case of each Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan, 12:00 Noon (local time at its Notice Office) on the
proposed date of such Borrowing, and (iii) in the case of any Borrowing under the Swing Line Facility, 1:00 p.m. (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Borrowing. 
 (b) Notice of Borrowing. Each request for a Borrowing (other than a Continuation or Conversion) shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the
Borrower by delivering written notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (each such notice, a “Notice of Borrowing”) or by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing by delivery by an
Authorized Officer of the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing), and in any event each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing (which shall be in the
Minimum Borrowing Amount), (ii) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the Type of Loans such Borrowing will consist of, and (iv) if applicable, the initial Interest Period and the Swing Loan Maturity Date
(which shall be less than 15 days). Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation
without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower. In
each such case, the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (c) Minimum Borrowing Amount. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing by the Borrower shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount. No partial Conversion of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding
principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto. 
 (d)
Maximum Borrowings. More than one Borrowing may be incurred by the Borrower on any day, provided that (i) if there are two or more Borrowings on a single day (other than with respect to a Term Borrowing made on the Closing Date) by the
Borrower that consist of Eurodollar Loans, each such Borrowing shall have a different initial Interest Period, and (ii) at no time shall there be more than six Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans outstanding hereunder. 
  

 31 








 Section 2.6. Funding Obligations; Disbursement of Funds. 
 (a) Several Nature of Funding Obligations. The Commitments of each Lender hereunder and the obligation of each Lender to make Loans, acquire and
fund Swing Loan Participations and Letter of Credit Participations, as the case may be, are several and not joint obligations. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans or fund any
participation hereunder and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it and fund its participations required to be funded by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill any of its Commitments
hereunder. Nothing herein and no subsequent termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder and in existence from time to time or to prejudice
any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
 (b) Borrowings Pro
Rata. Except with respect to the making of Swing Loans by the Swing Line Lender, all Loans hereunder shall be made as follows: (i) all Revolving Loans made, and Letter of Credit Participations acquired by each Lender, shall be made or
acquired, as the case may be, on a pro rata basis based upon each Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such Revolving Borrowing or Letter of Credit in effect on the date the applicable Revolving Borrowing is to be made
or the Letter of Credit is to be issued (or is deemed issued), and (ii) all Term Loans shall be made by the Lenders having Term Commitments pro rata on the basis of their respective Term Commitments. 
 (c) Funding of Loans. 
 (i) Loans Generally. No later than 4:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its amount, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such
date to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent promptly will make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other account
as the Borrower shall specify) the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received. 
 (ii) Swing
Loans. No later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other
account as the Borrower shall specify) the aggregate amount of Swing Loans requested in such Notice of Borrowing. 
 (d) Advance
Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made
on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and
without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made the same available to
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be,
interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made 

  

 32 








 
available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum
equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans (but without
any requirement to pay any amounts in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.10). 
 (e) Notice to Lenders. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly give each Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing, or Conversion or Continuation thereof, and Letter of Credit Issuance, and of such Lender’s proportionate share
thereof or participation therein and of the other matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Continuation or Conversion, or Letter of Credit Request, as the case may be, relating thereto. 
 Section 2.7. Evidence of Obligations. 
 (a) Loan Accounts of Lenders. The Obligations of the Borrower owing to each Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by, and each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice, an account or accounts evidencing the
Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (b) Loan Accounts of Administrative Agent; Lender Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the
amount of each Loan and Borrowing made hereunder, the Type thereof, the Interest Period and applicable interest rate and, in the case of a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto, (ii) the amount and other details with
respect to each Letter of Credit issued (or deemed issued) hereunder, (iii) the amount of any principal due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof, and (v) the other details relating to the Loans, Letters of Credit and other Obligations. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain a
register (the “Lender Register”) on or in which it will record the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make the Lender Register available to
any Lender or the Borrower upon its request. 
 (c) Effect of Loan Accounts, etc. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant
to Section 2.7(b) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error (other than manifest
error) therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Credit Party to repay or prepay the Loans or the other Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) Notes. Upon request of any Lender or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as
the case may be, (i) a Revolving Facility Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Loans made to it by such Lender,
(ii) a Term Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence its obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Term Loan made to it by such Lender, and (iii) a Swing Line Note with blanks appropriately
completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Swing Loans made to it by the Swing Line Lender; provided, however, that the decision of any Lender or the Swing Line
Lender to not request a Note shall in no way detract from the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loans and other amounts owing by the Borrower to such Lender or the Swing Line Lender.

 Section 2.8. Interest; Default Rate. 
 (a) Interest on Revolving Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Revolving Loan made by each Lender shall bear interest at a fluctuating
rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to (i) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, and (ii) during such periods as such
Revolving Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, the relevant Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time. 
 (b) Interest on Term Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Term Loan made by each Lender shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per
annum that shall at all times be equal to (i) during such periods as such Term Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, and (ii) during such periods as such Term Loan is a
Eurodollar Loan, the relevant Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time. 
 (c) Interest on Swing Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Swing Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing at a rate per
annum that shall be equal to the Quoted Rate applicable thereto. 
 (d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the above provisions, if a
Default under Section 10.1(a) or an Event of Default is in existence, (i) all outstanding amounts of principal and, to the extent permitted by law, all overdue interest, in respect of each Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a
rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, and (ii) the Letter of Credit Fees shall be increased by an additional 2% per annum in excess of the Letter of Credit Fees otherwise applicable thereto. In addition, if any amount (other than
amounts as to which the foregoing subparts (i) and (ii) are applicable) payable by the Borrower under the Credit Documents is not paid when due, such amount shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default
Rate. 
 (e) Accrual and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the
date of any prepayment or repayment thereof and shall be payable by the Borrower: 
 (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan,
quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, 
 (ii) in respect of each
Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on the dates that are successively three months after the commencement of such Interest Period, 

(iii) in respect of any Swing Loan, on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto, and 
 (iv) in respect of all Loans, other than Revolving Loans accruing interest at a Base Rate, on any repayment, prepayment or Conversion (on
the amount repaid, prepaid or Converted), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and, after such maturity or, in the case of any interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(d), on demand. 
 (f) Computations of Interest. All computations of interest on Eurodollar Loans and Swing Loans hereunder shall be made on the actual number of
days elapsed over a year of 360 days. All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans and Unpaid Drawings hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. 
  

 34 








 (g) Information as to Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate
for any Borrowing, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Any changes in the Applicable Margin shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in the definition of “Applicable
Margin” and the Administrative Agent will promptly provide notice of such determinations to the Borrower and the Lenders. Any such determination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. 
 Section 2.9. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. 
 (a) In the event that (y) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (z) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender, shall have determined on a reasonable basis
(which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto): 
 (i) on any
date for determining the interest rate applicable to any Eurodollar Loan for any Interest Period that, by reason of any changes arising after the Closing Date, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the
basis provided for in this Agreement for such Eurodollar Loan; or 
 (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased
costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable by it hereunder in an amount that such Lender deems material with respect to any Eurodollar Loans (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting
from the imposition of or a change in the rate of taxes or similar charges) because of (x) any change since the Closing Date in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (whether or not having the force of
law), or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (such as, for example, but not limited to, a change in official reserve
requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves already includable in the interest rate applicable to such Eurodollar Loan pursuant to this Agreement) or (y) other circumstances adversely affecting the London interbank market or the
position of such Lender in any such market; or 
 (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has
become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any change since the Closing Date in any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or the interpretation or application thereof, or would conflict with any thereof not
having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies, or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially adversely affects the London interbank market; 
 then, and in each such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent in the case of clause (i) above) shall (1) on or promptly following such date or
time and (2) within 10 Business Days of the date on which such event no longer exists give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent
shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation or Conversion given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans that have not yet been incurred,
Converted or Continued shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower or, in the case of a Notice of Borrowing shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed 

  

 35 








 
converted into a Notice of Borrowing for Base Rate Loans to be made on the date of Borrowing contained in such Notice of Borrowing, (y) in the case of
clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender shall determine) as
shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, which basis must be
reasonable, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified
in Section 2.9(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law. 
 (b) At any time that any
Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.9(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(iii) the Borrower shall) either (i) if the affected
Eurodollar Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(ii)
or (iii), cancel said Borrowing, or, in the case of any Borrowing, convert the related Notice of Borrowing into one requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or require the affected Lender to make its requested Loan as a Base Rate Loan, or
(ii) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to Convert each such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan; provided,
however, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.9(b). 
 (c) If any Lender shall have determined that after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged by law with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or its parent corporation with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing by an amount reasonably deemed by such
Lender to be material to the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent
corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within 15
days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent corporation for such reduction. Each Lender, upon
determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.9(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the calculation of
such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.9(c) upon the
subsequent receipt of such notice. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no Lender shall be entitled to
compensation or payment or reimbursement of other amounts under Section 2.9 or Section 3.9 for any amounts incurred or accruing more than 120 days prior to the giving of notice to the Borrower of additional costs or other amounts of the
nature described in such Sections, and (ii) no Lender shall demand compensation for any reduction referred to in Section 2.9(c) or payment or reimbursement of other amounts under Section 3.9 if it shall not at the time be the general
policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation, payment or reimbursement in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements. 
  


 36 








 Section 2.10. Breakage Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender (including the
Swing Line Lender), upon its written request (which request shall set forth the detailed basis for requesting and the method of calculating such compensation), for all reasonable losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without
limitation, any loss, cost, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans or Swing Loans) which such Lender may sustain in connection with
any of the following: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Swing Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of
Continuation or Conversion (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.9(a)); (ii) if any repayment, prepayment, Conversion or Continuation of any Eurodollar Loan occurs on a date that is not the
last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto or any Swing Loan is paid prior to the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of
prepayment given by the Borrower; (iv) as a result of an assignment by a Lender of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto pursuant to a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11(b);
or (v) as a consequence of (y) any other default by the Borrower to repay or prepay any Eurodollar Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (z) an election made pursuant to Section 2.11(b). Such loss, cost, expense
and liability to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the
interest rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to effect a Borrowing, Conversion or Continuation, for
the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement
of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall
be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such request within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 Section 2.11. Change of Lending Office; Replacement of Lenders. 
 (a) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Sections 2.9(a)(ii) or (iii), 2.9(c), 5.3 or 3.9 requiring the payment of additional amounts to the Lender, such Lender
will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loans or Commitments affected by such event; provided, however, that
such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its Applicable Lending Office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such
Section. 
 (b) If (i) any Lender requests any compensation, reimbursement or other payment under Sections 2.9(a)(ii) or (iii), 2.9(c)
or 3.9 with respect to such Lender, or (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 5.3, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 13.5(c)), all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided, however, that (1) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, (2) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee
(to the extent of such outstanding principal and 

  

 37 








 
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including any breakage compensation under Section 2.10 hereof), and
(3) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation, reimbursement or other payments required to be made under Section 2.9(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.9(c) or Section 3.9 with respect to such Lender, or
resulting from any required payments to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 5.3, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation, reimbursement or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 (c) Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections
2.9, 3.9 or 5.3. 
 Section 2.12. Conversion and Continuation of Loans. 
 (a) Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to
(i) Convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of Loans of one Type made to it into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Loans that can be made to it pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) Continue a Borrowing of
Eurodollar Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a new Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans with a new Interest Period; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be made on, and only on,
the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans. 
 (b) Notice of Continuation and Conversion. Each Continuation or
Conversion of a Loan shall be made upon notice in the form provided for below provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office not later than (i) in the case of each Continuation of or Conversion into a Eurodollar Loan,
prior to 12:00 noon (local time at its Notice Office) at least three Business Days’ prior to the date of such Continuation or Conversion, and (ii) in the case of each Conversion to a Base Rate Loan, prior to 12:00 noon (local time at its
Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Conversion. Each such request shall be made by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower delivering written notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto (each such notice, a
“Notice of Continuation or Conversion”) or by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing by delivery by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower of a Notice of Continuation or Conversion), and in any event each such request
shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the Borrowings to be Continued or Converted, (B) the date of the Continuation or Conversion (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) the Interest Period or, in the case of a Continuation, the
new Interest Period. Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability
upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower. In each such case, the
Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 ARTICLE III.

 LETTERS OF CREDIT 
 Section 3.1. Letter of
Credit Issuances. On the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued hereunder. During the Revolving Facility Availability Period, the Borrower may request a Letter of Credit Issuer at any time and from time
to time to issue, for the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set 

  

 38 








 
forth, each Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to issue from time to time Letters of Credit denominated and payable in Dollars and in such form as may be
approved by such Letter of Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Letter of Credit Issuance shall be made if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the Letter of Credit
Outstandings would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount, (ii) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure plus the
principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding would exceed the Total Revolving Commitment, or (iv) the Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 5.1(c) hereof. Subject to
Section 3.4 below, each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date (including any renewal periods) occurring not later than the earlier of (y) one year from the date of issuance thereof, or (z) 30 Business Days prior to the Revolving
Facility Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Lender Default exists, no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless either (i) such Letter of Credit Issuer has entered into
arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Letter of Credit Issuer’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender or Lenders, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting
Lender’s or Lenders’ Revolving Facility Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings; or (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit, taking into account the potential failure of the Defaulting Lender or Lenders to risk participate
therein, will not cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to incur aggregate credit exposure hereunder with respect to Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings in excess of its Commitment, and the Borrower has undertaken, for the benefit of such Letter of
Credit Issuer, pursuant to an instrument satisfactory in form and substance to such Letter of Credit Issuer, not to thereafter incur Loans or Letter of Credit Outstandings hereunder that would cause the Letter of Credit Issuer to incur aggregate
credit exposure hereunder with respect to Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings in excess of its Commitment. 
 Section 3.2. Letter of
Credit Requests. Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account or the account of any eligible Letter of Credit Obligor, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer
written or telephonic notice (in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing if so requested by the Administrative Agent) which, if in the form of written notice, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3 (each such
request, a “Letter of Credit Request”), or transmit by electronic communication (if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer), prior to 12:00 noon (local time at the Notice Office) at
least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), which Letter of Credit Request shall include such supporting
documents that such Letter of Credit Issuer customarily requires in connection therewith (including, in the case of a Letter of Credit for an account party other than the Borrower, an application for, and if applicable a reimbursement agreement with
respect to, such Letter of Credit). In the event of any inconsistency between any of the terms or provisions of any Letter of Credit Document and the terms and provisions of this Agreement respecting Letters of Credit, the terms and provisions of
this Agreement shall control. 
 Section 3.3. Notice of Letter of Credit Issuance. Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall, on the date of
each Letter of Credit Issuance by it (other than on the Closing Date with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit), give the Administrative Agent, each applicable Lender and the Borrower written notice of such Letter of Credit Issuance,
accompanied by a copy to the Administrative Agent of the Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit issued by it. Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall provide to the Administrative Agent a quarterly (or monthly if requested by any applicable Lender)
summary describing each Letter of Credit issued (or deemed issued) by such Letter of Credit Issuer and then outstanding and an identification for the relevant period of the daily aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings represented by Letters of
Credit issued (or deemed issued) by such Letter of Credit Issuer. 
  

 39 








 Section 3.4. Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. If a Letter of Credit Obligor so requests in any
applicable Letter of Credit Request, each Letter of Credit Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions must
permit such Letter of Credit Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each
such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Once any such Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions has been issued (or deemed issued), the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may
not require) such Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than 30 Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that such
Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (i) such Letter of Credit Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof, or
(ii) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is two Business Days before the date that such Letter of Credit Issuer is permitted to send a notice of non-renewal from the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 is not then satisfied. 
 Section 3.5.
Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the applicable Letter of Credit Obligor, when a Letter of Credit is issued (or deemed issued), the rules of the “International
Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit. 
 Section 3.6. [Intentionally Omitted] 
 Section 3.7. Reimbursement Obligations. 
 (a) The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse (or cause any Letter of Credit Obligor
for whose account a Letter of Credit was issued (or deemed issued) to reimburse) each Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment directly to such Letter of Credit Issuer in immediately available funds at the payment office of such Letter of Credit
Issuer, for any Unpaid Drawing with respect to any Letter of Credit immediately after, and in any event on the date on which, such Letter of Credit Issuer notifies the Borrower (or any such other Letter of Credit Obligor for whose account such
Letter of Credit was issued (or deemed issued)) of such payment or disbursement (which notice to the Borrower (or such other Letter of Credit Obligor) shall be delivered reasonably promptly after any such payment or disbursement), such payment to be
made in Dollars, with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (local time at the payment office of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer) on the date of such
payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the date such Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum that shall be the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to
Section 2.8(a)(i) that are Base Rate Loans or, if not reimbursed on the date of such payment or disbursement, at the Default Rate, any such interest also to be payable on demand. If by 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day immediately following notice
to it of its obligation to make reimbursement in respect of an Unpaid Drawing, the Borrower or the relevant Letter of Credit Obligor has not made such reimbursement out of its available cash on hand or, in the case of the Borrower, a contemporaneous
Borrowing hereunder (if such Borrowing is otherwise available to the Borrower), (x) the Borrower will in each case be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount
sufficient to reimburse such Unpaid Drawing (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Lenders of such deemed Notice of Borrowing), (y) the Lenders shall, unless they are legally prohibited from doing so, make the Revolving
Loans contemplated by such deemed Notice of Borrowing (which Revolving Loans shall be considered made under Section 2.2), and (z) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall 

  

 40 








 
be disbursed directly to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer to the extent necessary to effect such reimbursement and repayment of the Unpaid Drawing,
with any excess proceeds to be made available to the Borrower in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. 
 (b)
Obligations Absolute. Each Letter of Credit Obligor’s obligation under this Section 3.7 to reimburse, or cause another Letter of Credit Obligor to reimburse, each Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including,
in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower or any other Letter of Credit Obligor may have or have had
against such Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any other Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender, including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the
Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing; provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor any other Letter of Credit Obligor shall be obligated to reimburse a Letter
of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Letter of Credit Issuer. 
 Section 3.8. Letter of Credit Participations. 
 (a) Immediately upon each Letter of Credit Issuance, the Letter of Credit Issuer of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender with a Revolving Commitment, and each such Lender (each a “Letter
of Credit Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (an “Letter of Credit
Participation”), to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time of issuance, in such Letter of Credit, each substitute Letter of Credit, each drawing
made thereunder, the obligations of any Letter of Credit Obligor under this Agreement with respect thereto (although Letter of Credit Fees relating thereto shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as
provided in Section 4.1 and the Letter of Credit Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any fees of the nature contemplated by Section 4.1(c) or Section 4.1(e)), the obligations of any Letter of Credit Obligor
under any Letter of Credit Documents pertaining thereto, and any security for, or guaranty pertaining to, any of the foregoing. 
 (b) In
determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any obligation relative to the Letter of Credit Participants other than to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of
Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by a Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken
or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for such Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability. 
 (c) If a Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed (or caused any applicable Letter of Credit Obligor shall not have reimbursed) such amount in full to such Letter of
Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.7, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Letter of Credit Participant of such failure, and each Letter of Credit
Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such Letter of Credit Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such payment in Dollars and in
same-day funds; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Facility Percentage of such unreimbursed amount for any wrongful payment made by such Letter of
Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result 

  

 41 








 
of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Letter of Credit Issuer. If the Administrative Agent so notifies
any Letter of Credit Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on any Business Day, such Letter of Credit Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer such Letter of Credit Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same-day funds. If and to the extent such Letter of Credit Participant
shall not have so made its Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer, such Letter of Credit Participant agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Letter of Credit Issuer at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any Letter of Credit Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Facility Percentage
of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Letter of Credit Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Facility
Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Letter of Credit Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Letter of Credit Participant to make available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer such other Letter of Credit Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage of any such payment. 
 (d) Whenever a Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the Letter of
Credit Participants pursuant to subpart (c) above, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Letter of Credit Participant that has paid its Revolving Facility
Percentage thereof, in same-day funds, an amount equal to such Letter of Credit Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective Letter of Credit
Participations, as and to the extent so received. 
 (e) The obligations of the Letter of Credit Participants to make payments to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be
made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off defense or other right that the Borrower (or any other Letter of Credit Obligor) may have at any
time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, or other person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower (or any other Letter of Credit Obligor) and the beneficiary named in
any such Letter of Credit), other than any claim that the Borrower (or any other Letter of Credit Obligor) may have against any applicable Letter of Credit Issuer for gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Letter of Credit Issuer in making
payment under any applicable Letter of Credit; 
  

 42 








 (iii) any draft, certificate or other document presented under the Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
 (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or 
 (v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. 
 (f) To the extent any Letter of Credit Issuer is not indemnified by the Borrower or any Letter of Credit Obligor, the Letter of Credit Participants will reimburse and indemnify such Letter of Credit Issuer, in
proportion to their respective Revolving Facility Percentages, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature that may be
imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such Letter of Credit Issuer in performing its respective duties in any way related to or arising out of Letter of Credit Issuances by it; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit Participants
shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Letter of Credit Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 Section 3.9. Increased Costs to Letter of Credit Issuers. If after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or
regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Letter
of Credit Issuer or any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date) shall either (i) impose, modify or
make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued (or deemed issued) by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s participation therein, or (ii) impose on such Letter of
Credit Issuer or any Lender any other conditions affecting this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or such Lender’s participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such
Lender of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender hereunder (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount
received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the rate of taxes or similar charges), then, upon demand to the Borrower by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such Letter of
Credit Issuer or such Lender to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate any such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender for such increased
cost or reduction. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender to the Administrative Agent),
setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate any Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest
error, although the failure to deliver any such certificate shall not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.9.

would be reduced below any such limits, (iii) no such reduction shall be permitted if the Borrower would be required to make a mandatory prepayment of Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 5.1, and (iv) any
partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000 (or, if greater, in integral multiples of $1,000,000).

 (ii) no partial prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of such Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount
applicable thereto, provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply if such Loans are being prepaid in full; and

 (c) Mandatory Payments. The Loans shall be subject to mandatory repayment or prepayment (in
the case of any partial prepayment conforming to the requirements as to the amounts of partial prepayments set forth in Section 5.1(a) above), and the Letter of Credit Outstandings shall be subject to cash collateralization requirements, in
accordance with the following provisions: 
 (i) Revolving Facility Termination Date. The Borrower shall repay the
entire principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Revolving Facility Termination Date and, if any Letter of Credit Outstandings exist, then on such date the Borrower shall cause each Letter of Credit to be replaced or cash
collateralized in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1(c)(iii). 
 (ii) Loans Exceed the Commitments. If
on any date (after giving effect to any other payments on such date) (A) the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure exceeds the Total Credit Facility Amount, (B) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any Lender exceeds such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment, (C) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure plus the principal amount of Swing Loans exceeds the Total Revolving Commitment, or (D) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding exceeds the Swing
Line Commitment, then, in the case of each of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, on such day, prepay on such date the principal amount of Loans and, after Loans have been paid in full, Unpaid Drawings, in an aggregate amount at least equal to
such excess. 
 (iii) Letter of Credit Outstandings Exceed Letter of Credit Commitment If on any date the Letter of
Credit Outstandings exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment Amount, then the applicable Letter of Credit Obligor or the Borrower shall, on such day, pay to the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to such excess and the Administrative
Agent shall hold such payment as security for the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Letter of Credit Obligors hereunder in respect of Letters of Credit pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower (which shall permit certain investments in Cash Equivalents satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower
until the proceeds are applied to any Unpaid Drawings or to any other Obligations in accordance with any such cash collateral agreement). 
 (iv) Excess Cash Flow. Within 90 days after each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, if the Borrower’s Leverage Ratio for any such fiscal year is
equal to or greater than 2.0 to 1.0, the Borrower shall prepay the principal of the Loans in an aggregate amount (an “Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount”) at least equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year with such
amount, if any, to be applied as set forth in Section 5.1(d) below. 
  

 47 








 (v) Certain Proceeds of Asset Sales. If during any fiscal year of the Borrower,
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have received cumulative Cash Proceeds during such fiscal year from one or more Asset Sales of at least $500,000, not later than the third Business Day following the date of receipt of any Cash Proceeds in excess of
such amount, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds then received in excess of such amount from any Asset Sale shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 5.1(d) below; provided, that
(A) if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have scheduled Consolidated Capital Expenditures to be made during the following 270 days, and (iii) the Borrower
notifies the Administrative Agent of the amount and nature thereof and of its intention to reinvest all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in such Consolidated Capital Expenditures during such 270 day period, then no such prepayment shall be
required to the extent of the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds as to which the Borrower so indicates such reinvestment will take place. If at the end of any such 270 day period any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds has not been so reinvested, the
Borrower will immediately make a prepayment of the Loans, as provided above. 
 (vi) Certain Proceeds of Equity Sales.
Not later than the Business Day following the date of the receipt by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries of the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, placement agent fees and other customary fees and costs associated
therewith) from any sale or issuance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of its own Equity Interests as the case may be, after the Closing Date (other than (A) any sale or issuance to management, employees (or key employees) or directors
pursuant to stock option or similar plans for the benefit of management, employees (or key employees) or directors generally or (B) any sale or issuance to management or employees pursuant to stock purchase plans or similar plans for the

Section 5.1(d) below. 
 (vii) Certain Proceeds of Indebtedness. Not later than the Business Day following the
date of the receipt by any Credit Party of the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, placement agent fees and other customary fees and costs associated therewith) from any sale or issuance of any Indebtedness (other than any
Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 9.4 after the Closing Date, the Borrower will make a prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such net proceeds in accordance with Section 5.1(d) below. 
 (viii) Certain Proceeds of an Event of Loss. If during any fiscal year of the Borrower, any Credit Party has received cumulative
Cash Proceeds during such fiscal year from one or more Events of Loss of at least $500,000, not later than the third Business Day following the date of receipt of any Cash Proceeds in excess of such amount, the Borrower will make a prepayment of the
Loans with an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds then received in excess of such amount from any Event of Loss in accordance with Section 5.1(d) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any property suffers an Event of Loss
and (A) the Cash Proceeds received in any fiscal year as a result of such Event of Loss are less than $500,000, (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (C) the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders in writing that it intends to rebuild or restore the affected property, that such rebuilding or restoration can be accomplished within 270 days out of such Cash Proceeds and other funds available to the Borrower, then no such
prepayment of the Loans 

  

 48 








 
shall be required if the Borrower immediately deposits such Cash Proceeds in a cash collateral deposit account over which the Administrative Agent shall have
sole dominion and control, and which shall constitute part of the Collateral under the Security Documents and may be applied as provided in Section 10.3 if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing. So long as no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent is authorized to disburse amounts from such cash collateral deposit account to or at the direction of the Borrower for application to the costs of rebuilding or restoration of the affected
property. Any amounts not so applied to the costs of rebuilding or restoration or as provided in Section 10.3 shall be applied to the prepayment of the Loans as provided above. 
 (d) Applications of Certain Prepayment Proceeds. Each prepayment required to be made pursuant to Sections 5.1(c)(iv), (v), (vi), (vii) or
(viii) above shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of principal of first, the outstanding Term Loans, with such amounts being applied to the Scheduled Repayments thereof in the inverse order of their maturity; provided, however,
such prepayment shall first apply to Term Loans that do not constitute the Hedged Portion and secondly, to the Hedged Portion, second, after no Term Loans are outstanding, the outstanding Swing Loans, and third, the outstanding
Revolving Loans, and the Total Revolving Commitment shall be permanently reduced on the date of any such prepayment of the Swing Loans or the Revolving Loans, as applicable, by an amount equal to such prepayment in accordance with
Section 4.2(b). 
 (e) Particular Loans to be Prepaid. With respect to each repayment or prepayment of Loans made or required by
this Section, the Borrower shall designate the Types of Loans that are to be repaid or prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such repayment or prepayment is to be made; provided, however, that (i) the Borrower shall
first so designate all Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods ending on the date of repayment or prepayment prior to designating any other Eurodollar Loans for repayment or prepayment, and (ii) if the
outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing is reduced below the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount as a result of any such repayment or prepayment, then all the Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing shall
be Converted into Base Rate Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no
obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.10. 
 (f) Breakage and Other Compensation. Any prepayment made
pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be accompanied by any amounts payable in respect thereof under Section 2.9, Section 2.10, Section 3.9 and Section 5.3. 
 Section 5.2. Method and Place of Payment. 
 (a) Generally. All payments made by the Borrower hereunder (including any payments made with respect to the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under Article XII) under any Note or any other Credit Document, shall be made without setoff,
counterclaim or other defense. 
 (b) Application of Payments. Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and
subject to Section 10.3, (i) all payments and prepayments of Revolving Loans and Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit shall be applied by the Administrative Agent on a pro rata basis based upon each Lender’s
Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such prepayment, (ii) all payments and prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reduce the principal amount of the Term Loans made by each Lender with a Term
Commitment, pro rata on the basis of their respective Term Commitments, and (iii) all payments or prepayments of Swing Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to pay or prepay such Swing Loans. 
  

 49 








 (c) Payment of Obligations. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under
this Agreement shall be made to the Administrative Agent on the date when due and shall be made at the Payment Office in immediately available funds and shall be made in Dollars. 
 (d) Timing of Payments. Any payments under this Agreement that are made by a Credit Party later than 12:00 noon (local time at the Payment Office)
shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension. 
 (e) Distribution to Lenders. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of payments hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, as
the case may be, its ratable share, if any, of the amount of principal, interest, and Fees received by it for the account of such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent in Dollars shall be delivered to the Lenders or the applicable
Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, in Dollars in immediately available funds; provided, however, that if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
Unpaid Drawings, interest and Fees then due hereunder then, except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 10.3, such funds shall be applied, first, towards payment of interest and Fees then due
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and Fees then due to such parties, and second, towards payment of principal and Unpaid Drawings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Unpaid Drawings then due to such parties. 
 Section 5.3. Net
Payments. 
 (a) Except as provided for in Section 5.3(b), all payments made by the Borrower hereunder, under any Note or any other
Credit Document, including all payments made by the Borrower pursuant to its guaranty obligations under Article XII, will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as provided in this
Section 5.3(a), any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of a Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Lender is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or Applicable Lending
Office of such Lender, as applicable, is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such non-excluded taxes, levies imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes and such
additional amounts (including additional amounts to compensate for withholding on amounts paid pursuant to this Section 5.3) as may be necessary so that every payment by it of all amounts due hereunder, under any Note or under any other Credit
Document, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note or in such other Credit Document. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to this
Section 5.3(a), the Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of such Lender, for taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is
organized or in which the principal office or Applicable Lending Office of such Lender is located, as the case may be, or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing authority therein, and for any withholding of income or similar taxes as
such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding 

  

 50 








 
sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence, which request shall be accompanied by a statement from
such Lender setting forth, in reasonable detail, the computations used in determining such amounts. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes, or any withholding or deduction on
account thereof, is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts, or other evidence satisfactory to the respective Lender, evidencing such payment by the Borrower. The Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative
Agent and each Lender, and reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid or withheld by such Lender. 
 (b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes and
that is entitled to claim an exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to a payment by Borrower agrees to provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a
Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.5 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer and such Lender is in compliance
with the provisions of this Section), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, and from time to time thereafter if required by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent: (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY (or successor, substitute or other appropriate forms and, in the case of Form W-8IMY, complete with accompanying Forms W-8BEN with respect to beneficial owners of the payment)
certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to exemption from or a reduced rate of withholding of United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement, any Note or any other Credit Document, or (ii) if the
Lender cannot deliver the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms referred to in clause (i) above, (x) a certificate in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (any such certificate, an “Exemption
Certificate”) and (y) other appropriate documentation certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from, or reduced rate of withholding from, United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to
be made under this Agreement, any Note or any other Credit Document. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or
inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form, or an Exemption Certificate and related
documentation, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under
this Agreement, any Note or any other Credit Document, or it shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Exemption Certificate and related documentation, in which case such Lender
shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Exemption Certificate and related documentation pursuant to this Section 5.3(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a), but subject to Section 13.5(c)
and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income
tax purposes and that has not provided to the Borrower such Forms or such Exemption Certificate and related documentation that establish a complete exemption from or reduction in the rate of such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrower
shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 5.3(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States or any additional amounts with respect thereto (i) if such Lender has
not provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service forms required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) or (ii) in the case of a payment other than interest, to a 

  

 51 








 
Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a), but subject to Section 13.5(c) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct
or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender that is not a United
States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes and that has not provided to the Borrower such forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding
and (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 5.3(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States or any additional amounts with respect thereto
(i) if such Lender has not provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service forms required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) or (ii) in the case of a payment other than interest, to a Lender described
in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 5.3 and
except as specifically provided for in Section 13.5(c), the Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 5.3(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the
deduction or withholding) in respect of any Taxes deducted or withheld by it as described in the previous sentence as a result of any changes after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or
in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar Taxes. 
 (c) If any Lender, in its sole
opinion, determines that it has finally and irrevocably received or been granted a refund in respect of any Taxes as to which indemnification has been paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.3, it shall promptly remit such refund
(including any interest received in respect thereof), net of all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses to the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower agrees to promptly return any such refund (plus interest) to such Lender in the
event such Lender is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Any such Lender shall provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment from the relevant taxing authority (redacting any unrelated confidential
information contained therein) requiring repayment of such refund. Nothing contained herein shall impose an obligation on any Lender to apply for any such refund.

 56 








 Section 7.1. Corporate Status, etc. Each of the Borrower and Subsidiaries (i) is a duly
organized or formed and validly existing corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, in good standing or in full force and effect, as applicable, under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or formation and

is authorized to do business in all jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified or authorized except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 7.1 hereto lists, as of the Closing Date,
each Subsidiary (and the direct and indirect ownership interest of the Borrower therein). 
 Section 7.2. Corporate Power and Authority,
etc. Each Credit Party has the corporate, partnership or other organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents and the Equity Financing Documents to which it is party and has
taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents to which it is party. Each Credit Party has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document and the Equity
Financing Documents to which it is party and each Credit Document and each Equity Financing Document to which it is party constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement and obligation of such Credit Party enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law). 
 Section 7.3. No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by
any Credit Party of the Credit Documents and the Equity Financing Documents to which it is party nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof (i) will contravene any material provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ,
injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Credit Party or its material properties and assets, (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (other than the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the property or assets of such Credit Party
pursuant to the terms of any promissory note, bond, debenture, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit or loan agreement, or any other material agreement or other instrument, to which such Credit Party is a party or by which it or any of its
property or assets are bound or to which it may be subject, or (iii) will violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of such Credit Party. 
 Section 7.4. Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to
authorize or is required as a condition to (i) the execution, delivery and performance by any Credit Party of any Credit Document to which it is a party or any of its obligations thereunder, or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect

 57 








 Section 7.6. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. 
 (a) The proceeds of all Loans and Letter of Credit Issuances shall be utilized (i) to refinance Existing Facilities, provide funds for Permitted

with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (b) No part of the proceeds of any Credit Event will be used directly or indirectly to purchase or carry
Margin Stock, or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, in violation of any of the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Borrower is not
engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. At no time would more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower or of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries that are subject
to any “arrangement” (as such term is used in Section 221.2(g) of such Regulation U) hereunder be represented by Margin Stock. 
 Section 7.7. Financial Statements, etc. 
 (a) The Borrower has furnished to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the
Co-Lead Arrangers complete and correct copies of (i) the audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and the related audited consolidated statements of
income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year of the Borrower then ended, accompanied by the report thereon of PricewaterhouseCoopers or another accounting firm of nationally
recognized standing that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; and (ii) the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarters ended as of March 31, 2009 and
June 30, 2009 and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and of cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal period then ended. All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP, consistently applied (except as stated therein), and fairly present the financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates indicated and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the
respective periods indicated, subject in the case of any such financial statements that are unaudited, to normal audit adjustments, none of which will involve a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries did not have, as of the date
of the latest financial statements referred to above, and will not have as of the Closing Date after giving effect to the incurrence of Loans or Letter of Credit Issuances hereunder, any material or significant contingent liability or liability for
taxes, long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the foregoing financial statements or the notes thereto in accordance with GAAP and that in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations,
properties, assets, financial or other condition or prospects of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 (b) The financial projections of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal years 2009 through 2012 prepared by the Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Co-Lead Arrangers and the Lenders (the “Financial Projections”) were prepared on behalf
of the Borrower in good faith after taking into account historical levels of business activity of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, known trends, including general economic trends, and all other information, assumptions and estimates considered by
management of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to be pertinent thereto; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made as to the impact of future general economic conditions or as to whether the Borrower’s projected consolidated
results as set forth in the Financial Projections will actually be realized, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results for the periods covered by the Financial


  

 58 








 
Projections may differ materially from the Financial Projections. No facts are known to the Borrower as of the Closing Date which, if reflected in the
Financial Projections, would result in a material adverse change in the assets, liabilities, results of operations or cash flows reflected therein. 
 Section 7.8. Solvency. The Borrower has received consideration that is the reasonable equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that the Borrower has incurred to the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and
the Lenders under the Credit Documents. The Borrower now has capital sufficient to carry on its business and transactions and all business and transactions in which it is about to engage and is now solvent and able to pay its debts as they mature
and the Borrower, as of the Closing Date, owns property having a value, both at fair valuation and at present fair salable value, greater than the amount required to pay the Borrower’s debts; and the Borrower is not entering into the Credit
Documents with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors. For purposes of this Section 7.8, “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means (x) right to payment whether or not such a
right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured; or (y) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise
to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured. 
 Section 7.9. No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2008, there has been no change in the financial or other condition, business, affairs or prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as
a whole, or their properties and assets considered as an entirety, except for changes none of which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 7.10. Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all federal income tax returns and all other
material tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by it and has paid all material taxes and assessments payable by it that have become due, other than those not yet delinquent and except for those contested in good faith. The Borrower
and each of its Subsidiaries has established on its books such charges, accruals and reserves in respect of taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges for all fiscal periods as are required by GAAP. The Borrower knows of no proposed
assessment for additional federal, foreign or state taxes for any period, or of any basis therefor, which, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account such charges, accruals and reserves in respect thereof as the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries have made, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 7.11. Title to Properties, etc. The
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title, in the case of Real Property, and good title (or valid Leaseholds, in the case of any leased property), in the case of all other property, to all of its properties and assets free
and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens. The interests of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries in the properties reflected in the most recent balance sheet referred to in Section 7.7, taken as a whole, were sufficient, in the
judgment of the Borrower, as of the date of such balance sheet for purposes of the ownership and operation of the businesses conducted by the Borrower and such Subsidiaries. 
 Section 7.12. Lawful Operations, etc. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries: (i) hold all necessary foreign, federal, state, local and
other governmental licenses, registrations, certifications, permits and authorizations necessary to conduct its business, except to the extent the failure to so hold could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) is in
full compliance with all requirements imposed by law, regulation or rule, whether foreign, federal, state or local, that are applicable to it, its operations, or its properties and assets, including, without limitation, applicable requirements of
Environmental Laws, except for any failure to obtain and maintain in effect, or noncompliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material 

  

 59 








 
Adverse Effect; (iii) conduct their business in compliance with all provisions of the Fair Debt Practices Collection Act and all other applicable
federal, state or local laws governing the collection of debts and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material violation of any of such laws; and (iv) are in compliance with all federal, state and local privacy laws.

 Section 7.13. Environmental Matters. 
 (a) The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, except to the extent that any such failure to comply (together with any resulting penalties, fines or forfeitures)
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All licenses, permits, registrations or approvals required for the conduct of the business of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law have been secured
and the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in substantial compliance therewith, except for such licenses, permits, registrations or approvals the failure to secure or to comply therewith is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice, or otherwise knows, that it is in any respect in noncompliance with, breach of or default under any applicable writ, order, judgment, injunction, or decree to
which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is a party or that would affect the ability of the Borrower or such Subsidiary to operate any Real Property and no event has occurred and is continuing that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or
both, would constitute noncompliance, breach of or default thereunder, except in each such case, such noncompliance, breaches or defaults as would not reasonably be expected to, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no
Environmental Claims pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no facts, circumstances, conditions or
occurrences on any Real Property now or at any time owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or on any property adjacent to any such Real Property, that are known by the Borrower or as to which the Borrower or any such
Subsidiary has received written notice, that could reasonably be expected: (i) to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Real Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; or
(ii) to cause such Real Property to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of such Real Property under any Environmental Law, except in each such case, such Environmental Claims or restrictions that
individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) Hazardous Materials have not at
any time been (i) generated, used, treated or stored on, or transported to or from, any Real Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) released on any such Real Property, in each case where such occurrence or event is not
in compliance with Environmental Laws and is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 7.14. Compliance with
ERISA. Compliance by the Borrower with the provisions hereof and Credit Events contemplated hereby will not involve any prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. The Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries and each ERISA Affiliate (i) has fulfilled all obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan that is not a Multiemployer Plan or a Multiple Employer Plan, (ii) has satisfied
all contribution obligations in respect of each Multiemployer Plan and each Multiple Employer Plan, (iii) is in compliance in all material respects with all other applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and each

Plan or trust created thereunder has been terminated, and there have been no Reportable Events with respect to any Plan or trust created thereunder or with respect to any Multiple Employer Plan, which termination or Reportable Event will or could
give rise to a material liability of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate in respect 

  

 60 








 
thereof. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate is at the date hereof, or has been at any time within the five years
preceding the date hereof, an employer required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, or a “contributing sponsor” (as such term is defined in Section 4001 of ERISA) in any Plan. Neither the Borrower nor
any Subsidiary of the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement “employee welfare benefit plan” (as such term is defined in ERISA) except as has been disclosed to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders in writing. 
 Section 7.15. Intellectual Property, etc. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has obtained
or has the right to use all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other rights with respect to the foregoing necessary for the present and planned future conduct of its business, without any known conflict with
the rights of others, except for such patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and rights, the loss of which, and such conflicts which, in any such case individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

subject to regulation with respect to the creation or incurrence of Indebtedness under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Interstate Commerce Act, as amended, the Federal Power Act, as amended, the Energy Policy Act of 2005, or any

Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 7.19. True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole) heretofore or
contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated herein, other than the

expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Related Party
in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative
Agent or such Related Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by the Borrower; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any
of its Related Party for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s or such
Related Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent or any such Related Party for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the
Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations.

 Section 11.8. The Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to,
accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates as though not acting as Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to the Loans made by it and all Obligations owing to it,
the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the
Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. 
 Section 11.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign
at any time upon not less than 30 days notice to the Lenders, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a
successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative
Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and each Letter of Credit Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no such successor is willing to accept such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents
(except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or any Letter of Credit Issuer under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral
security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and
Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 13.1 shall continue in effect
for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative
Agent.

 Section 11.10. Other Agents. Any Lender identified herein as a Co-Agent, Syndication Agent,
Documentation Agent, Managing Agent, Manager, Lead Arranger, Co-Lead Arranger, Arranger or any other corresponding title, other than “Administrative Agent,” shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under
this Agreement or any other Credit Document except those applicable to all Lenders as such. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Lender so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not
taking any action hereunder. 
 Section 11.11. No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification
program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereinafter amended or replaced, the “CIP
Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any of its respective Affiliates or agents, the Credit
Documents or the transactions hereunder: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any record keeping, (c) any comparisons with government lists, (d) any customer notices or (e) any other procedures required under the
CIP Regulations or such other laws. 
 Section 11.12. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not
organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (a) an
affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (b) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign
bank), shall deliver to Administrative Agent the certification, or, if applicable, re-certification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and
the applicable regulations, (i) within 10 days after the Closing Date, and (ii) at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act. 
 ARTICLE XII.

 88 








 
of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding or subject
to an automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code). Upon failure by any Credit Party to pay punctually any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, the Borrower shall forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent pay the amount
not so paid at the place and in the currency and otherwise in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other applicable agreement or instrument. 
 Section 12.2. Additional Undertaking. As a separate, additional and continuing obligation, the Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees, for the benefit of the Benefited Creditors that,
should any Borrower Guaranteed Obligations not be recoverable from the Borrower under Section 12.1 for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by reason of any provision of any Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument
executed in connection therewith being or becoming void, unenforceable, or otherwise invalid under any applicable law) then, notwithstanding any notice or knowledge thereof by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates,
or any other person, at any time, the Borrower as sole, original and independent obligor, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, will make payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Benefited Creditors, of all such obligations not
so recoverable by way of full indemnity, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Credit Documents or any other applicable agreement or instrument. 
 Section 12.3. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower under this Article shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by the occurrence, one or more times, of any of the following: 
 (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect to the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under any agreement or instrument, by operation of law or otherwise; 
 (b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement, any Note, any other Credit Document, or any agreement or instrument evidencing or
relating to any Company Guaranteed Obligation; 
 (c) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the
Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Borrower Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (d) any
change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Credit Party or other Subsidiary or its assets or any resulting
release or discharge of any obligation of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary contained in any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Borrower may have at any time against any other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent,
any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any other person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; 
 (f) any
invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other Credit Party for any reason of any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, or any provision of applicable law or regulation
purporting to prohibit the payment by any Credit Party of any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations; or 
  

 89 








 (g) any other act or omission of any kind by any other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or any other person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Article, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations under this Section other than the irrevocable payment in full
of all Borrower Guaranteed Obligations. 
 Section 12.4. Borrower Obligations to Remain in Effect; Restoration. The Borrower’s
obligations under this Article shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have terminated, and the principal of and interest on the Notes and other Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, and all other amounts payable by the
Borrower, any other Credit Party or other Subsidiary, under the Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of
any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit Party, the Borrower’s obligations under this Article with respect to such payment
shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. 
 Section 12.5. Waiver of Acceptance,
etc. The Borrower irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any other Credit Party or any
other person, or against any collateral or guaranty of any other person. 
 Section 12.6. Subrogation. Until the indefeasible payment
in full of all of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments hereunder, the Borrower shall have no rights, by operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment under this Section to be subrogated to the rights of the payee against
any other Credit Party with respect to such payment or otherwise to be reimbursed, indemnified or exonerated by any such Credit Party in respect thereof. 
 Section 12.7. Effect of Stay. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Credit Party under any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit Party, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any applicable agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be
payable by the Borrower under this Article forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent. 
 ARTICLE XIII.

referred to therein and the syndication of the Commitments, including, without limitation, all out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay (or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates for) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates in connection with any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of or relating to any of the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent. 
  

 90 








 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay (or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates
for) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates in connection with the enforcement of any of the Credit Documents or the other documents and instruments referred to therein, including, without
limitation, (i) the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) the reasonable fees and disbursements of any individual counsel to any Lender (including, without limitation, allocated costs of

respect of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Borrower agrees to pay all costs of collection and defense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection therewith and in connection with any appellate proceeding or post-judgment
action involved therein, which shall be due and payable together with all required service or use taxes. 
 (e) The Borrower agrees to pay
and hold the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders harmless
from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to any such indemnified person) to pay such taxes. 
 (f) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and their respective Related Party’s and Affiliates (collectively, the
“Indemnitees”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses reasonably incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of

 (i) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any Lender is a party thereto) related to the
entering into and/or performance of any Credit Document or the use of the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated in any Credit Document, other than any such investigation, litigation or proceeding
arising out of transactions solely between any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, transactions solely involving the assignment by a Lender of all or a portion of its Loans and Commitments, or the granting of participations therein, as
provided in this Agreement, or arising solely out of any examination of a Lender by any regulatory or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, or 
 (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any
Real Property owned, leased or at any time operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the release, generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials at any location, whether or not owned or operated by the

 91 








 
losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the person to be
indemnified or of any other Indemnitee who is such person or an Affiliate of such person). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless any person set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is
violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities that is permissible under applicable law. 
 Section 13.2. Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation
of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind to the Borrower or to any other person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender or
such Letter of Credit Issuer (including, without limitation, by branches, agencies and Affiliates of such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the
Obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations the Borrower purchased by such Lender
or Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 13.5(c), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Letter of
Credit Issuer shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to promptly notify the Borrower after any such
set off and application, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. 
 Section 13.3. Equalization. 
 (a) Equalization. If at any time any Lender receives any amount
hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise) that is
applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans (other than Swing Loans), Letter of Credit Participations, Swing Loan Participations or Fees (other than Fees that are intended to be paid solely to the Administrative Agent or
a Letter of Credit Issuer and amounts payable to a Lender under Article III), of a sum that with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such
Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders
an interest in the Obligations to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount. 
 (b) Recovery of Amounts. If any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to subpart (a) above is recovered in whole or in part from such Lender, such original purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price restored ratably to the
extent of the recovery. 
 (c) Consent of Borrower. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all
the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), and, provided, further, that any assignment or participation by a Lender of any of its rights and obligations hereunder shall be effected in accordance with this Section.

 (i) the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, including rights

entered into or sold, 
 and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer, grant or sell any participation under which the participant shall have rights
to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (w) extend the final scheduled maturity of the date of any Scheduled Repayment of any of the Loans in which
such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount
thereof, or increase such participant’s participating interest in any Commitment over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of any such
Commitment), (x) release all or any substantial portion of the Collateral, or release any guarantor from its guaranty of any of the Obligations, except strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, or (y) consent to the
assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
  

 94 








 (c) Assignments by Lenders. 
 (i) Any Lender may assign all, or if less than all, a fixed portion, of its Loans, Letter of Credit Participations, Swing Loan
Participations and Commitments and its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees, each of which shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement, provided that, 
 (A) except in the case (x) of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments or
(y) an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment so assigned (which for this purpose includes the Loans
outstanding thereunder), shall not be less than $1,000,000; 
 (B) in the case of any assignment to an Eligible Assignee at
the time of any such assignment the Lender Register shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders; 
 (C) upon surrender of the old Notes, if any, upon request of the new Lender, new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender, to the extent needed to reflect
the revised Commitments; and 
 (D) unless waived by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall receive at the
time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500, 
 and, provided further, that
such transfer or assignment will not be effective until the Assignment Agreement in respect thereof is recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Lender Register maintained by it as provided herein. 
 (ii) To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.5(c) the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations
hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments. 
 (iii) At the time of each assignment pursuant to this
Section 13.5(c) to a person that is not already a Lender hereunder and that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall
provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the applicable Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, an Exemption Certificate and any necessary additional documentation) described in Section 5.3(b). 
 (iv) With respect to any Lender, the transfer of any Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any
Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Lender Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all
amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on
the Lender Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to this subpart (c). 
  


 95 








 (v) Nothing in this Section 13.5(c) shall prevent or prohibit (i) any Lender
that is a bank, trust company or other financial institution from pledging its Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, or (ii) any Lender that is a trust, limited
liability company, partnership or other investment company from pledging its Notes or Loans to a trustee or agent for the benefit of holders of certificates or debt securities issued by it. No such pledge, or any assignment pursuant to or in lieu of
an enforcement of such a pledge, shall relieve the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. 
 (d) No SEC Registration or Blue
Sky Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 13.5, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer,
assignment or grant would require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” laws of any State. 
 (e) Representations of Lenders. Each Lender initially party to this Agreement hereby represents, and each person that becomes a Lender pursuant to an assignment permitted by this Section 13.5 will, upon
its becoming party to this Agreement, represent that it is a commercial lender, other financial institution or other “accredited” investor (as defined in SEC Regulation D) that makes or acquires loans in the ordinary course of its business
and that it will make or acquire Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of such business, provided that subject to the preceding Sections 13.5(b) and (c), the disposition of any promissory notes or other evidences of or interests in
Indebtedness held by such Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control. 
 Section 13.6. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any
Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege hereunder or thereunder. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or any Letter of Credit Issuance shall not be construed as a waiver of any
Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. The rights and remedies herein expressly
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. 
 Section 13.7. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. 
 (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER
CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF OHIO. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE BORROWER HEREBY
UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF OHIO GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or
any other Credit Document may be brought in the Court of Common 

  

 96 








 
Pleas of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, or of the United States for the Northern District of Ohio, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower
hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. The Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the
aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address for notices pursuant to Section 13.4, such service to become effective 30
days after such mailing or at such earlier time as may be provided under applicable law. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal
proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrower in any other jurisdiction. 
 (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection
that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document brought in the courts referred to in Section 13.7(a) above
and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 (c) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS OR OTHER MODIFICATIONS RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING), OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY
HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH. 
 Section 13.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 13.9. Integration. This Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any separate letter agreements
with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, for its own account and benefit and/or for the account, benefit of, and distribution to, the Lenders, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof
and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof. 
 Section 13.10. Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several Sections and other portions of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this
Agreement. 
 Section 13.11. Amendment or Waiver. 
 (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, changed, waived or otherwise modified unless such amendment, change, waiver or other modification is in
writing and signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, or by the Administrative Agent acting at the written direction of the Required Lenders, provided that 
  

 97 








 (i) no change, waiver or other modification shall: 
 (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender hereunder, without the written consent of such Lender; 
 (B) extend or postpone the Revolving Facility Termination Date, the Term Loan Maturity Date or the maturity date provided for herein that
is applicable to any Loan of any Lender, extend or postpone the expiration date of any Letter of Credit as to which such Lender is a Letter of Credit Participant beyond the latest expiration date for a Letter of Credit provided for herein, or extend
or postpone any scheduled expiration or termination date provided for herein that is applicable to a Commitment of any Lender, without the written consent of such Lender; 
 (C) reduce the principal amount of any Loan made by any Lender, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of, or excuse the payment
of, interest thereon (other than as a result of (x) waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and (y) any amendment or modification of defined terms used in financial covenants) without the written consent of
such Lender; 
 (D) reduce the amount of any Unpaid Drawing as to which any Lender is a Letter of Credit Participant, or
reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of, or excuse the payment of, interest thereon (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), without the written consent of such Lender; or

 (E) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of, or excuse the payment of, any Fees to which any Lender is entitled
hereunder, without the written consent of such Lender; and 
 (ii) no change, waiver or other modification or termination
shall, without the written consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) affected thereby, 
 (A) release the
Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder; 
 (B) release the Borrower from its guaranty obligations under Article XII or
release any Credit Party from the Subsidiary Guaranty, except in connection with a transaction permitted under this Agreement; 
 (C) release all or any substantial portion of the Collateral, except in accordance with a transaction permitted under this Agreement; 
 (D) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.11 or Section 10.3, or any other provision of any of the Credit Documents pursuant to which the consent or approval of all Lenders, or a number or
specified percentage or other required grouping of Lenders or Lenders having Commitments, is by the terms of such provision explicitly required; 
 (E) reduce the percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of Required Lenders; 
  

 98 








 (F) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.2, Section 2.6(b),
Section 5.2(b), Section 5.2(e), Section 10.3 or Section 11.7, in each case solely to the extent any such section addresses the pro rata treatment of Lenders or the pro rata sharing of payments amongst the Lenders; or

 (G) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

 Any waiver, consent, amendment or other modification with respect to this Agreement given or made in accordance with this Section 13.11 shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given or made. 
 (b) No provision of Article III or
any other provision in this Agreement specifically relating to Letters of Credit may be amended without the consent of (x) any Letter of Credit Issuer adversely affected thereby or (y) the Administrative Agent, respectively. 
 (c) No provision of Article XI may be amended without the consent of the Administrative Agent and no provision of Section 2.4 may be amended without
the consent of the Swing Line Lender. 
 (d) No change in, or waiver or other modification otherwise affecting, the amount or time of payment
of the Scheduled Repayments provided for in Section 5.1(b) to which a Lender shall be entitled shall be made without the written consent of each Lender with a Term Commitment and the Required Lenders. 
 (e) To the extent the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders, or all of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), as applicable, as shall be
required by this Section 13.11) waive the provisions of Section 9.2 hereof with respect to the sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral, or any Collateral is sold, transferred or disposed of as permitted by Section 9.2
hereof, (i) such Collateral shall be sold, transferred or disposed of free and clear of the Liens created by the respective Security Documents; (ii) if such Collateral includes all of the capital stock of a Subsidiary that is a party to
the Subsidiary Guaranty or whose stock is pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement, such capital stock shall be released from the Security Agreement and such Subsidiary shall be released from the Subsidiary Guaranty; and (iii) the
Administrative Agent shall be authorized to take actions deemed appropriate by it in order to effectuate the foregoing. 
 Section 13.12.
Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Section 2.9, Section 2.10, Section 3.9 and Section 5.3 (subject to the limitations set forth Section 2.9(d)),
Section 11.7 or Section 13.1(f) shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Obligations. 
 Section 13.13. Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender, provided that the Borrower shall not be
responsible for costs arising under Section 2.9 resulting from any such transfer (other than a transfer pursuant to Section 2.11) to the extent not otherwise applicable to such Lender prior to such transfer. 
 Section 13.14. Confidentiality. 
 (a)
Each of the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information (as defined below), except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (1) to its and its
Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom 

  

 99 








 
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information
confidential), (2) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any Hedge Agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees
to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.14, (3) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (4) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (5) to any
other party to this Agreement, (6) to any other creditor of the Borrower or any other Credit Party that is a direct or intended beneficiary of any of the Credit Documents, (7) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or
under any of the other Credit Documents, or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (8) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section 13.14, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (9) with the consent of the Borrower, or
(10) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.14, or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any
Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. 
 (b) As used in this Section, “Confidential
Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender on a
non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, provided that in the case of information received from the Borrower after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, “Confidential Information” shall not include, and the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the
U.S. federal income tax treatment and U.S. federal income tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Administrative Agent or such Lender
relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. 
 (c) Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as
provided in this Section 13.14 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such person would accord
to its own confidential information. The Borrower hereby agrees that the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section 13.14 shall not relieve the Borrower, or any
other Credit Party, of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents. 
 Section 13.15. Limitations on
Liability of the Letter of Credit Issuers. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letters of Credit. Neither any Letter of Credit Issuer
nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency
or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by a Letter of Credit Issuer against presentation of documents
that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment
under any Letter of Credit, except that the Letter of Credit Obligor shall have a claim against a Letter of Credit Issuer, and a Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to such Letter of Credit Obligor, to the extent of any direct, but not
consequential, damages suffered by such Letter of Credit Obligor that such Letter of Credit Obligor proves were caused by (i) such Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether 

  

 100 








 
documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) such Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure
to make lawful payment under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, a Letter of Credit
Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation. 
 Section 13.16.
General Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by any Credit Party, any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any other person against the Administrative Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, or any other
Lender or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any damages other than actual compensatory damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or
related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each of the Borrower, each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each Letter of
Credit Issuer hereby, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, waives, releases and agrees not to sue or counterclaim upon any such claim for any special, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not
known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
 Section 13.17. No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants and other
professional persons (including the firms or other entities on behalf of which any such person may act) retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents shall have the right to
act exclusively in the interest of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to the Borrower, to any
of its Subsidiaries, or to any other person, with respect to any matters within the scope of such representation or related to their activities in connection with such representation. The Borrower agrees, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries,
not to assert any claim or counterclaim against any such persons with regard to such matters, all such claims and counterclaims, now existing or hereafter arising, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseeable, being hereby waived, released
and forever discharged. 
 Section 13.18. Lenders and Agent Not Fiduciary to Borrower, etc. The relationship among the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and the Administrative Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders have
no fiduciary or other special relationship with the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and no term or provision of any Credit Document, no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be construed so as to deem such
relationship to be other than that of debtor and creditor. 
 Section 13.19. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All
representations and warranties herein shall survive the making of Loans and all Letter of Credit Issuances hereunder, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents the forms of which are attached as Exhibits hereto,
the issue and delivery of the Notes, any disposition thereof by any holder thereof, and any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other holder of any of the Notes or on its behalf. All statements contained in any
certificate or other document delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Notes by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or otherwise specifically for use in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrower hereunder, made as of the respective dates specified therein or, if no date is specified, as of the respective dates furnished to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender. 
 Section 13.20. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such 

  

 101 








 
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity
of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 13.21.
Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action, event, condition or circumstance is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an
exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations or restrictions of, another covenant, shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or event, condition or circumstance exists. 
 Section 13.22. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan,
together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be
limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Base Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received
by such Lender. 
 Section 13.23. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrower that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such
Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. 
 Section 13.24. Press Releases and Related Matters. The
Borrower and the other Credit Parties each hereby agree that the Administrative Agent, the Co-Lead Arrangers or any Lender may use the name, logo or other identifying information or trademark of the Borrower or any other Credit Party solely in
connection with a press release, “tombstone” or similar advertisements, or in connection with other disclosure to the “gold sheets” or similar bank trade publications with respect to this Agreement.

and receive the proceeds therefrom and, after deducting from such proceeds any expenses incurred by it in connection with the collection or handling thereof, to apply the net proceeds to the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 10.3
of the Credit Agreement.

involving the Collateral and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Administrative Agent will promptly release such proceeds to the applicable Grantor, unless the Credit Agreement provides otherwise.

and pay the premiums on insurance for the Collateral which such Grantor fails to maintain in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and each Grantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, on demand,
for all payments and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent with respect to such Grantor or any of its Collateral pursuant to the foregoing authorization, provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall be construed as
excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Creditor to cure or perform, any covenants or other agreements of any Grantor with respect to any of the foregoing matters as
set forth herein or in any of the other Credit Documents.

Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record.

Secured Creditors hereunder.

effected with respect to all or any part of the Pledged Equity Interest of its Subsidiaries, such Grantor as soon as practicable and at its expense will use its best efforts to cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and will
use its best efforts to cause such qualification and compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such stock, including, without limitation, registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as then in effect (the “Securities Act”) (or any similar statute then in effect), appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with
any other governmental requirements, provided that the Administrative Agent shall furnish to such Grantor such information regarding the Administrative Agent as such Grantor may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any such
registration, qualification or compliance. The relevant Grantor will advise the Administrative Agent in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, will furnish to the
Administrative Agent such number of prospectuses, offering circulars and other documents incident thereto as the Administrative Agent from time to time may reasonably request, and will indemnify the Administrative Agent and all others participating
in the distribution of such Pledged Equity Interests against all claims, losses, damages or liabilities caused by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained therein (or in any related registration statement,
notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not

 Section 6.11. Sale of Pledged Equity Interests in Connection with Enforcement. If at any time when the Administrative Agent shall determine to
exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Pledged Equity Interests pursuant to Section 8.1, such Pledged Equity Interests or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as then in effect, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, sell such Pledged Equity Interests or part thereof by
private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or 

  

 - 24 - 








 
advisable in order that such sale may legally be effected without such registration, provided that at least ten days’ notice of the time and place of
any such sale shall be given to the relevant Grantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding
that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Equity Interests or part thereof shall have been filed under such Securities Act, (b) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale and
(c) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Equity Interests or part thereof. In
the event of any such sale, the Administrative Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability to any Grantor for selling all or any part of the Pledged Equity Interests at a price which the Administrative Agent may in good faith deem reasonable
under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred until the registration as aforesaid. 
 Section 6.12. Waiver. Each Grantor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby irrevocably waives any and all provisions of each
Organizational Document of each Subsidiary of such Grantor that (a) prohibit, restrict, condition or otherwise affect the grant hereunder of any Lien on any of the Collateral (or any enforcement action which may be taken in respect of any such
Lien, including, without limitation, any foreclosure upon or subsequent disposition of such equity interest by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Creditor) or (b) otherwise conflict with the terms of this Agreement. In furtherance of the
foregoing, each Grantor hereby agrees that, by its signature below, this Agreement shall constitute the consent of such Grantor under each Organizational Document of a Subsidiary of such Grantor (as applicable) to each of the transactions
contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, any foreclosure upon or subsequent disposition of such equity interest by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Creditor), to the extent any such consent is required thereunder.

any way relating to, any of the Collateral;

with respect to any of the Collateral; and/or 
 (j) take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing such Grantor or any

 (i) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places so designated by the Administrative Agent and delivered to the
Administrative Agent, 
 (ii) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Administrative Agent at such place or places
pending further action by the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 8.2, and

 it being understood that such Grantor’s obligation so to deliver the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a
court of equity having jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by such Grantor of said obligation. 
 Section 8.2. Disposition of the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, any Collateral repossessed by the Administrative Agent under or pursuant to Section 8.1 and 

  

 - 28 - 








 
any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Administrative Agent, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more
contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale of the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as the Administrative Agent may, in
compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Administrative
Agent or after any overhaul or repair which the Administrative Agent shall determine to be commercially reasonable. Except in the case of any Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on
a recognized market, (i) in the case of any such disposition which shall be a private sale or other private proceedings permitted by such requirements, such sale shall be made upon not less than ten days’ written notice to such Grantor
specifying the time at which such disposition is to be made and the intended sale price or other consideration therefor, and shall be subject, for the ten days after the giving of such notice, to the right of the relevant Grantor or any nominee of
the relevant Grantor to acquire the Collateral involved at a price or for such other consideration at least equal to the intended sale price or other consideration so specified, and (ii) in the case of any such disposition which shall be a
public sale permitted by such requirements, such sale shall be made upon not less than ten days’ written notice to the relevant Grantor specifying the time and place of such sale and, in the absence of applicable requirements of law, shall be
by public auction (which may, at the Administrative Agent’s sole option, be subject to reserve), after publication of notice of such auction not less than ten days prior thereto in two newspapers in general circulation in the city where such
Collateral is located. To the extent permitted by any such requirement of law, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Creditors (or certain of them) may bid for and become the purchaser (by bidding in Secured Obligations or otherwise) of
the Collateral or any item thereof offered for sale in accordance with this Section without accountability to the relevant Grantor (except to the extent of surplus money received as provided in Section 8.5). Unless so obligated under mandatory
requirements of applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of time which does not permit the giving of notice to the Grantor as hereinabove specified. The Administrative Agent
need give the relevant Grantor only such notice of disposition as the Administrative Agent shall deem to be reasonably practicable in view of such mandatory requirements of applicable law. 
 Section 8.3. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies
under this Article VIII at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantor) to use, assign or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property of such Grantor, now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located,
including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. 
 Section 8.4. Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR
ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT WHICH THE GRANTOR WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE, and each Grantor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:
(i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession except any damages which are the direct result of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; 

  

 - 29 - 








 
(ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s
rights hereunder; and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale
of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and each Grantor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
now or hereafter in effect. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the relevant Grantor
therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the relevant Grantor and against any and all persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from,
through and under the relevant Grantor. 
 Section 8.5. Application of Proceeds. All Collateral and proceeds of Collateral obtained
and realized by the Administrative Agent in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement pursuant to this Article VIII shall be applied as follows: 
 (i) first, to the payment to the Administrative Agent, for application to the Secured Obligations as provided in Section 10.3 of the Credit Agreement; and 
 (ii) second, to the extent remaining after the application pursuant to the preceding clause (i) and following the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 9.9 hereof, to the relevant Grantor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such payment. 
 Section 8.6. Remedies Cumulative, etc. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Administrative Agent shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given under this Agreement,
any Designated Hedge Agreement, or the other Credit Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from
time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Administrative Agent. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of exercise of one shall not be deemed a
waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or partial or single exercise thereof, and no renewal or extension of any of the Secured
Obligations, shall impair or constitute a waiver of any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. No notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle
it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. In the event that the
Administrative Agent shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Administrative Agent may recover reasonable, actual expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and the amounts
thereof shall be included in such judgment. 
 Section 8.7. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Administrative Agent shall have
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to
the Administrative Agent, then and in every such case the relevant Grantor, the Administrative Agent and each holder of any of the Secured Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral
subject to the security interest created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Administrative Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

 Section 8.8. Purchasers of Collateral. Upon any sale of any of the Collateral by the
Administrative Agent hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the
purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way
for the misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

knowledge of any of the foregoing; or 
 (f) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, any other event or
circumstance which, but for this provision, might release or discharge a guarantor or other surety from its obligations as such. 
 Section
9.4. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon each Grantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Creditor and their respective successors and
assigns, provided that no Grantor may transfer or assign any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. All agreements, statements, representations and warranties made by each Grantor
herein or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by such Grantor or on its behalf under this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Creditors and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the other Credit Documents and any Designated Hedge Document regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Creditors on their behalf. 
 Section 9.5. Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several Sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. 

Section 9.6. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 9.7. Enforcement Expenses, etc. The Grantors hereby jointly and severally agree
to pay, to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement, all reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Creditor in connection with the enforcement of this
Agreement, the preservation of the Collateral, the perfection of the Security Interest, and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel employed by the
Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Creditors). 
 Section 9.8. Release of Portions of Collateral. 
 (a) So long as no Event of Default is in existence or would exist after the application of proceeds as provided below, the Administrative Agent shall, at
the request of a Grantor, release any or all of the Collateral of such Grantor, provided that (x) such release is permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement (it being agreed for such purposes that a release will be deemed “permitted by
the terms of the Credit Agreement” if the proposed transaction constitutes an exception contained in Section 9.2(c) of the Credit Agreement) or otherwise has been approved in writing by the Required Lenders (or, to the extent required by
Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement, all of the Lenders, or all of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), as applicable) and (y) the proceeds of such Collateral are to be applied as required pursuant to the Credit Agreement or
any consent or waiver entered into with respect thereto. 
  

 - 32 - 








 (b) At any time that a Grantor desires that the Administrative Agent take any action to give effect to
any release of Collateral pursuant to the foregoing Section 9.8(a), it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a principal executive officer stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant
to Section 9.8(a). In the event that any part of the Collateral is released as provided in Section 9.8(a), the Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of a Grantor, will duly release such Collateral and assign, transfer and
deliver to such Grantor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold and as may be in the possession of the Administrative Agent and has not theretofore been released
pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Creditor as the result of any release of Collateral by it as permitted by this Section 9.8. 
 Section 9.9. Termination. After the termination of all of the Commitments and all Designated Hedge Documents, when no Note or Letter of Credit is
outstanding and when all Loans and other Secured Obligations (other than unasserted indemnity obligations) have been paid in full, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of the Grantors, will execute
and deliver to the relevant Grantor a proper instrument or instruments (including UCC termination statements on form UCC-3) acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to the relevant
Grantor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Administrative Agent and as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement.

 Section 9.10. Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will hold in accordance with this Agreement all items of the
Collateral at any time received under this Agreement. The acceptance by the Administrative Agent of this Agreement, with all the rights, powers, privileges and authority so created, shall not at any time or in any event obligate the Administrative
Agent to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral to which it is not a party, or to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or
liability under the Collateral. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement, each Secured Creditor acknowledges and agrees that the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent shall be as set forth in Article IX of the Credit Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.3 of this Agreement or Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement, this Section 9.10, and the duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent set forth in this
Section 9.10, may not be amended or modified without the consent of the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.11. Only Administrative
Agent to Enforce on Behalf of Secured Creditors. The Secured Creditors agree by their acceptance of the benefits hereof that this Agreement may be enforced on their behalf only by the action of the Administrative Agent, acting upon the
instructions of the Required Lenders (or, after all Credit Document Obligations have been paid in full, instructions of the holders of greater than 50% of the outstanding Designated Hedge Obligations) and that no other Secured Creditor shall have
any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of the Secured Creditors, upon the terms of this Agreement. 
 Section 9.12. Other Creditors, etc. Not Third Party Beneficiaries. No
creditor of any Grantor or any of its Affiliates, or other person claiming by, through or under any Grantor or any of its Affiliates, other than the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Creditors, and their respective successors and assigns,
shall be a beneficiary or third-party beneficiary of this Agreement or otherwise shall derive any right or benefit herefrom. 
 Section 9.13.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, including via facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission capable of authentication, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same agreement. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent. 
  

 - 33 - 








 Section 9.14. Amendments; Additional Grantors. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement and no consent to any departure by any Grantor shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the requisite number of Lenders, if any, required pursuant
to Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement, and the applicable Grantor or Grantors, as the case may be, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Upon the
execution and delivery by any Person of a Security Agreement Joinder, (a) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall become and be a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement to a
“Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and each reference in any other Credit Document to a “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and (b) each reference
herein to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Agreement, and each reference in any other Credit Document to the “Security Agreement,” “thereunder,”
“thereof” or words of like import referring to this Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement as supplemented by such Security Agreement Joinder. 
 Section 9.15. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be effective as to any Grantor upon its execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a
counterpart of this Agreement manually executed on behalf of such Grantor, regardless of the date of this Agreement or the date this Agreement is executed and delivered by any other party hereto. 
 Section 9.16. Full Recourse Obligations; Effect of Fraudulent Transfer Laws. It is the desire and intent of each Grantor, the Administrative Agent
and the other Secured Creditors that this Agreement shall be enforced as a full recourse obligation of each Grantor to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If
and to the extent that the obligations of any Grantor under this Agreement would, in the absence of this sentence, be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or
transfers, then the amount of such Grantor liability hereunder in respect of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to be reduced ab initio to that maximum amount that would be permitted without causing such Grantor’s obligations
hereunder to be so invalidated. 
 Section 9.17. Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. 
 (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE OTHER SECURED CREDITORS AND OF EACH GRANTOR SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF OHIO, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the Courts of the State of Ohio, or of the United States of
America for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Grantor hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the
aforesaid courts. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered mail, return receipt requested, to such
Grantor at its address provided herein, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing, or such earlier time as may be provided by applicable law. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any of the other
Secured Creditors to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against each Grantor in any other jurisdiction. 
  

 - 34 - 








 (b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document brought in the courts referred to in Section 9.17(a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees
not to plead or claim in any such court that such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 (c) EACH GRANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH OTHER SECURED CREDITOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT
DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY SECURED CREDITOR HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH SECURED CREDITOR WOULD NOT, IN
THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION.

 (c) In addition to the foregoing, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Creditors the payment of any and all Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower and each other
Credit Party, whether or not due or payable by the obligor thereon, upon the occurrence in respect of the Borrower, any other Credit Party or other applicable 

  

 3 








 
obligor of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or case under the Bankruptcy Code, and unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, promises to
pay such Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Creditors, on demand, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Guaranteed Documents governing such Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (d) As a separate, additional and continuing obligation, each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees, for the
benefit of the Creditors, that, should any amounts constituting Guaranteed Obligations not be recoverable from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by reason of any provision of any
Guaranteed Document or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection therewith being or becoming, at any time, voidable, void, unenforceable, or otherwise invalid under any applicable law), then notwithstanding any notice or knowledge
thereof by the Administrative Agent, any other Creditor, any of their respective Affiliates, or any other person, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, as sole, original and independent obligor, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, will make
payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Creditors, of all such obligations not so recoverable by way of full indemnity, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Guaranteed Documents. 
 (e) Each Guarantor understands, agrees and confirms that the Administrative Agent and the other Creditors may enforce this Guaranty up to
the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations against any Guarantor without proceeding against any other Guarantor, the Borrower or any other person, or against any security or other collateral. 
 (f) All payments by each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Creditors, in
such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided in the Guaranteed Documents to which such payments relate. 
 Section 3.
Subordination. 
 (a) Any Indebtedness or other obligations or liabilities of the Borrower now or hereafter held by any
Guarantor (collectively, “Subordinated Obligations”) are hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations (but solely to the extent constituting a guaranty of any obligation of the Borrower to any Creditor); and such Subordinated
Obligations of the Borrower to any Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent, after an Event of Default has occurred, so requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the other
Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Creditors, on account of the Indebtedness of the Borrower owing under the Guaranteed Documents to the Administrative Agent and to the other Creditors, but without
affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any Subordinated Obligation of the Borrower to
such Guarantor, such Guarantor shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. 
 (b) If and to the extent that any Guarantor makes any payment to the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor or to any other person pursuant to or in respect of this Guaranty, any reimbursement or similar claim
that such Guarantor may have against the Borrower by reason thereof shall be subject and subordinate to the prior termination of all of the Commitments and indefeasible payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. 
 Section 4. Guarantors’ Obligations Absolute, etc. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional,
shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based on any claim such Guarantor may have against the Borrower or any other

any other person to perform or comply with any term or provision of the Credit Agreement, any other Guaranteed Document, or any such other instrument or agreement;

failure to mitigate damages or marshal assets, or any election of remedies) under or in respect of (i) the Credit Agreement, any other Guaranteed Document, or any such other instrument or agreement, or (ii) any obligation or liability of
the Borrower or any other person; 
 (h) any exercise or non-exercise of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of the
Credit Agreement, any other Guaranteed Document, or any such other instrument or agreement, or any such obligation or liability, including, without limitation, (i) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor to give notice of
any Default or Event of Default under any Guaranteed Document, or to advance funds for the protection or preservation of, or provision of insurance for, or payment of taxes on, any property that is collateral security for any of the Guaranteed

 Section 6. Subrogation Rights. Until such time as the Guaranteed
Obligations have been paid in full in cash and otherwise fully performed and all of the Commitments under the Credit Agreement have been terminated, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives all rights of subrogation that it may at any time otherwise

reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law); 
 (d) neither the execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of the Credit Documents to which it is party nor compliance with the
terms and provisions thereof (i) will contravene any material provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or its material properties and assets,
(ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (other than

This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty, all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon, and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until
terminated as provided in Section 27 hereof. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of
any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances
or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not necessary for, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other
Creditor, undertakes any obligation or duty to, inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any indebtedness made or
created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. 
 Section 12. Application of Payments and
Recoveries. All amounts received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in connection with the enforcement of, this Guaranty, together with all amounts and other rights and benefits realized by any Creditor (or to which any Creditor may be
entitled) by virtue of this Guaranty, shall be applied as provided in Section 10.3 of the Credit Agreement. 
 Section 13.
Enforcement Expenses. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay, to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each other
Creditor in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel employed by the Administrative Agent or any of the
other Creditors). 
 Section 14. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and
assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Creditors and their successors and assigns, provided that no Guarantor may transfer or assign any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder except as permitted
under the Credit Agreement. 
 Section 15. Entire Agreement. This Guaranty and the other Guaranteed Documents represent the final
agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, supersede any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and may not be contradicted by evidence

 Section 16. Amendments; Additional Guarantors. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Guaranty and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the requisite number of Lenders, if any,
required pursuant to Section 13.11 of the Credit Agreement, and the applicable Guarantor or Guarantors, as the case may be, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given. Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a guaranty supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”), (a) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional
Guarantor” and shall become and be a Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Credit Document to a
“Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and (b) each reference herein to “this Guaranty”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, and
each reference in any other Credit Document to the “Guaranty”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty
Supplement. 
 Section 17. Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several Sections of this Guaranty are inserted for convenience
only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Guaranty. 
 Section 18. Severability. Any
provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

mean any “Event of Default” as defined in the Credit Agreement or any payment default under any Designated Hedge Document after any applicable notice and grace period), each Creditor is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time,
without notice to any Guarantor or to any other person, any such notice being expressly waived, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law now or hereafter in effect, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or
special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Creditor to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to such Creditor under this Guaranty,
irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Creditor shall have made any demand hereunder and although said obligations, liabilities, deposits or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Creditor agrees to
promptly notify the relevant Guarantor after any such set off and application, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. 
 Section 20. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in
writing and mailed, sent by telecopier or delivered, (a) if to any Guarantor, at the address specified for it in the Credit Agreement (or if no such address is specified, to it c/o the Borrower), with a courtesy copy to the Borrower at its
address specified in or pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (b) if to the Administrative Agent, to it at its Notice Office, (c) if to any Lender, at its address specified in or pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and (d) if to any
Designated Hedge Creditor, at such address as such Designated Hedge Creditor shall have specified in writing to each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent; or in any case at such other address as any of the persons listed above may hereafter notify
the others in writing. All such notices and communications shall be mailed, sent via telecopier, sent by overnight courier or delivered, and shall be effective when received.

Creditor for recission, repayment, recovery or restoration of any amount or amounts received by the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all
or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such

evidencing any liability of the Borrower, (ii) each Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or otherwise recovered or restored to the same extent as if such amount had never originally

United States of America for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, and, by execution and delivery of this Guaranty, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the

requested, to such Guarantor at its address provided herein, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing, or such earlier time as may be provided by applicable law. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or
any of the other Creditors to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against each Guarantor in any other jurisdiction. 
 (b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the
aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty or any other Credit Document or Guaranteed Document brought in the courts referred to in Section 22(a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees
not to plead or claim in any such court that such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 12 








 
the provisions of the Credit Agreement, such Guarantor shall be released from this Guaranty and this Guaranty shall, as to each such Guarantor or Guarantors,
terminate, and have no further force or effect (it being understood and agreed that the sale of one or more persons that own, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other equity interests of any Guarantor shall be deemed to be a sale of
such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 23). 
 Section 24. Contribution Among Guarantors. Each Guarantor, in addition to
the subrogation rights it shall have against the Borrower under applicable law as a result of any payment it makes hereunder, shall also have a right of contribution against all other Guarantors in respect of any such payment pro rata among the same
based on their respective net fair value as enterprises, provided any such right of contribution shall be subject and subordinate to the prior payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (and such Guarantor’s obligations in respect thereof).

 Section 25. Full Recourse Obligations; Effect of Fraudulent Transfer Laws, etc. It is the desire and intent of each Guarantor, the
Administrative Agent and the other Creditors that this Guaranty shall be enforced as a full recourse obligation of each Guarantor to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement
is sought. If and to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty would, in the absence of this sentence, be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent
conveyances or transfers, then the amount of such Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to be reduced ab initio to that maximum amount that would be permitted without causing such
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder to be so invalidated. 
 Section 26. Payments Free and Clear of Setoffs, Counterclaims and Taxes,
etc. 
 (a) All payments made by any Guarantor hereunder will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and,
except as provided for in this Section 26(a), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever
nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax, imposed on or
measured by the net income or net profits of a Creditor pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Creditor is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or Applicable Lending Office of such Creditor is located or any
subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such non excluded taxes, levies imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such nonexcluded taxes levies, imposts, duties, fees
assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the applicable Guarantor agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so
that every payment by it of all amounts due hereunder, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes will not be less than the amount provided for herein. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the applicable Guarantor agrees to reimburse each Creditor, upon the written request of such Creditor for taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or profits of such Creditor pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such
Creditor is organized or in which the principal office or Applicable Lending Office of such Creditor is located or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which the principal office or Applicable
Lending Office of such Creditor is located and for any withholding of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States of America as such Creditor shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Creditor in respect of such amounts so paid
to or on behalf of such Creditor pursuant to the preceding sentence, which request shall be accompanied by a statement from such Creditor setting forth, in reasonable detail, the computations used in determining such amounts. The applicable
Guarantor will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes, or any 

  

 13 








 
withholding or deduction on account thereof, is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts, or other evidence satisfactory to the
applicable Creditor, evidencing such payment by the applicable Creditor. Each applicable Guarantor will indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Creditor, and reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Creditor upon its written
request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid or withheld by such Creditor. 
 (b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 26, (i) any applicable Guarantor shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from any amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Creditor that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States
federal income tax purposes and that has not provided to the Borrower such forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding; and (ii) any applicable Guarantor shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 26
hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Creditor in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States or any additional amounts with respect thereto if such Creditor has not provided to the Borrower such forms. 
 Section 27. Termination. After the termination of all of the Commitments and all Designated Hedge Documents, when no Note or Letter of Credit is
outstanding and when all Loans and other Guaranteed Obligations (other than unasserted indemnity obligations) have been paid in full, this Guaranty will terminate and the Administrative Agent, at the request and expense of the Borrower and/or any of
the Guarantors, will execute and deliver to the Guarantors an instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Guaranty. 
 Section 28. Enforcement Only by Administrative Agent. The Creditors agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent, acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders,
and that no Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Creditors, upon
the terms of this Guaranty. The Administrative Agent and the other Creditors further agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer or employee of any Guarantor, as such. 
 Section 29. General Limitation on Claims by Guarantors. NO CLAIM MAY BE MADE BY ANY GUARANTOR AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OTHER
CREDITOR, OR THE AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS OR AGENTS OF ANY OF THEM, FOR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN ACTUAL COMPENSATORY DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OF THE OTHER GUARANTEED DOCUMENTS, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH; AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW,
WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE OR COUNTERCLAIM UPON ANY SUCH CLAIM FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR. 
 Section 30. Attorneys, Accountants, etc. of Creditors Have No Duty to Guarantors. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants and other
professional persons (including the firms or other entities on behalf of which any such person may act) retained by the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Guaranteed Documents shall have
the right to act exclusively in the interest of the Administrative Agent or such other Creditor, as the case may be, shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or 

  

 14 








 
nature whatsoever to any Guarantor, to any of its Affiliates, or to any other person, with respect to any matters within the scope of such representation or
related to their activities in connection with such representation and shall be subject to the provisions contained in Section 13.14 of the Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor agrees, on behalf of itself, its Subsidiaries and its other Affiliates,
not to assert any claim or counterclaim against any such persons with regard to such matters, all such claims and counterclaims, now existing or hereafter arising, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseeable, being hereby waived, released
and forever discharged. 
 Section 31. Creditors Not Fiduciary to Guarantors, etc. The relationship among any Guarantor and its
Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other Creditors, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and the Administrative Agent and the other Creditors have no fiduciary or other special relationship with
any Guarantor or any of its Affiliates, and no term or provision of any Guaranteed Document, no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be construed so as to deem such relationship to be other than that of debtor
and creditor. 
 Section 32. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties
hereto on separate counterparts including, by way of facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission capable of authentication, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one
and the same instrument.
