component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period (or, in the case of Total Assets, on the last day of the applicable Test Period). If since the
beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such Test Period shall have
made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.07, then such financial ratio or test (or Total Assets) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this
Section 1.07. 
 (c) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in
good faith by a Financial Officer of the Borrower and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies projected by the
Borrower in good faith to result from or relating to any Specified Transaction (including the Transactions) which is being given pro forma effect that have been realized or are expected to be realized and for which the actions necessary to realize
such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies are taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (in the good faith determination of the Borrower) (calculated on a
pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies were realized during the entirety of
such period and “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or
are expected to be taken (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions,
and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of such financial ratios or tests and during any subsequent Test Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized) relating to such Specified
Transaction; provided that (A) such amounts are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, (B) such actions are taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial
steps have been taken or are expected to be taken no later than twelve (12) months after the date of such Specified Transaction and (C) no amounts shall be added to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in
computing EBITDA (or any other components thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period. 
 (d)
In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees), issues or repays (including by redemption, repurchase, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness
incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility or line of credit unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and not replaced), in each case included in the calculations of any financial ratio or test, (i) during the applicable
Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma
effect to such incurrence, issuance, repayment or redemption of Indebtedness, in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period (except in the case of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (or
similar ratio), in which case such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, issuance, redemption, repurchase, repayment, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness will be given effect, as if the same had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test
Period). 
 (e) If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness
shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements
applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Financial Officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease
Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been
based upon the rate actually 

  
 64 








 
chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower or applicable Restricted Subsidiary may designate. For purposes of making the computations referred to above,
interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be
determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate
chosen as the Borrower may designate. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.07 or in any classification
under GAAP of any Person, business, assets or operations in respect of which a definitive agreement for the Disposition thereof has been entered into as discontinued operations, no pro forma effect shall be given to any discontinued operations (and
the EBITDA attributable to any such Person, business, assets or operations shall not be excluded for any purposes hereunder) until such Disposition shall have been consummated. 

(g) Any determination of Total Assets shall be made by reference to the last day of the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the
relevant date of determination. 
 SECTION 1.08 Available Amount Transaction. If more than one action occurs on any given date
the permissibility of the taking of which is determined hereunder by reference to the amount of the Available Amount immediately prior to the taking of such action, the permissibility of the taking of each such action shall be determined
independently and in no event may any two or more such actions be treated as occurring simultaneously, i.e., each transaction must be permitted under the Available Amount as so calculated. 

SECTION 1.09 Currency Generally. 

(a) For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 7.01, 7.03 and 7.06 and the definition of “Permitted Investments” with
respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is
incurred (so long as such Indebtedness or Investment, at the time incurred, made or acquired, was permitted hereunder). 
 (b) For purposes
of determining the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Senior Net Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, the amount of Indebtedness shall reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Hedging
Obligations permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar equivalent of such Indebtedness. 

SECTION 1.10 Limited Condition Acquisitions. 

(a) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of determining compliance with
any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of
the Borrower, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date into which the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered. For the avoidance of
doubt, if the Borrower has exercised its option under the first sentence of this clause (a), and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition were entered into
and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such
Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder. 

  
 65 








 (b) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition,
for purposes of: 
 (i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of the
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Senior Net Leverage Ratio; or 

(ii) testing baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Total Assets); 

in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an
“LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date on which the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA
Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including (i) any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds
thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ended prior to the LCA Test Date for which consolidated financial statements of the Borrower are available, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant
LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was
determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition
Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition
Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, Dispositions, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or
the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition
and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. 

ARTICLE II 
 The
Commitments and Borrowings 
 SECTION 2.01 Term Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
Term Lender severally agrees to make to the Borrower on the Closing Date one or more Initial Term Loans denominated in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Term Lender’s Term B Commitment on the Closing Date. Amounts borrowed
under this Section 2.01 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. The Initial Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 

SECTION 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 

(a) Each Term Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be
made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (provided that the notice in respect of the Initial Term Loans or in connection with any Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition permitted under this Agreement,
may be conditioned on the closing of the Acquisition or such Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition, as applicable), which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New
York time, (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided, that the notice referred to in subclause (i) above may be delivered no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date in the case of the Initial Term Loans. Each telephonic notice
by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Except as
provided in Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14, each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar 

  
 66 








 
Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14, each Borrowing of or conversion to
Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Term Borrowing, a
conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal
amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Class and Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and
(vi) wire instructions of the account(s) to which funds are to be disbursed. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan to be made in a Committed Loan Notice, then the applicable Loans shall be made as Eurodollar Rate Loans with an
Interest Period of one (1) month. If the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made or continued as the same Type of Loan, which if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall have
a one-month Interest Period. Any such automatic continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate
Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one
(1) month. 
 (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the
amount of its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify
each Lender of the details of any automatic continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or continuation of Loans described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the
Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than, in the case of Borrowing on the Closing Date, 10:00 a.m., New York time, and otherwise 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the Business Day specified in the
applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01 for the Borrowing on the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds
as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account(s) of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with
instructions provided by the Borrower to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided
herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan, unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Facility Lenders under the applicable Facility may require by notice to the Borrower that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar
Rate Loans. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any
Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time when Base Rate Loans are
outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 

(e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans
as the same Type, there shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that after the establishment of any new Class of Loans pursuant to an
Incremental Amendment, a Refinancing Amendment, an Extension Amendment or an amendment in respect of Replacement Loans, the number of Interest Periods otherwise permitted by this Section 2.02(e) shall increase by three (3) Interest Periods
for each applicable Class so established. 
 (f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall
not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of
any Borrowing. 

  
 67 








 (g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of
any Borrowing, or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the
Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available
to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the
Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing
under this Section 2.02(g) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included
in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 2.03 Prepayments. 

(a) Optional. 

(i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, at any time or from time to time voluntarily
prepay any Class or Classes of Term Loans in whole or in part without premium (except as set forth in Section 2.15) or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than
12:00 p.m., New York time, (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any partial prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
be in a principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000
or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such prepayment. Any
prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. In the case of each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.03(a), the Borrower may in its sole discretion select the Borrowing or Borrowings (and the order of maturity of principal payments) to be repaid, and such payment shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement. 
 (ii) [Reserved]. 

(iii) Voluntary prepayments of any Class of Term Loans permitted hereunder shall be applied to the remaining scheduled
installments of principal thereof pursuant to Section 2.05 (or pursuant to the applicable Extension Amendment, Incremental Amendment, Refinancing Amendment, amendment in respect of any Replacement Loans or otherwise) in a manner determined at
the discretion of the Borrower and specified in the notice of prepayment (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity). Each prepayment in respect of any Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03 may be applied to


  
 68 








 
any Class of Term Loans as directed by the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may (i) prepay Term Loans of an Existing Term Loan Class pursuant to this Section 2.03
without any requirement to prepay Extended Term Loans that were converted or exchanged from such Existing Term Loan Class and (ii) prepay Extended Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03 without any requirement to prepay Term Loans of an
Existing Term Loan Class that were converted or exchanged for such Extended Term Loans. In the event that the Borrower does not specify the order in which to apply prepayments to reduce scheduled installments of principal or as between Classes of
Term Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such proceeds be applied to reduce the scheduled installments of principal in direct order of maturity on a pro-rata basis among Term Loan Classes.

 (iv) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, any Borrower Party may (i) purchase outstanding Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis through open market purchases or (ii) prepay the outstanding Term Loans, which shall, in each
case, for the avoidance of doubt, be automatically and permanently canceled immediately upon acquisition by the Borrower Parties, and in the case of this clause (ii) only, which shall be prepaid on the following basis: 

(A) The Borrower Party shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Loans at a discount to par pursuant to a
Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers or Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers (any such prepayment, the “Discounted Term Loan Prepayment”), in
each case made in accordance with this Section 2.03(a)(iv); provided that no Borrower Party shall initiate any action under this Section 2.03(a)(iv) in order to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment unless (I) at least ten
(10) Business Days shall have passed since the consummation of the most recent Discounted Term Loan Prepayment as a result of a prepayment made by a Borrower Party on the applicable Discounted Prepayment Effective Date; or (II) at least
three (3) Business Days shall have passed since the date the Borrower Party was notified that no Term Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Term Loan at the Specified Discount, within the Discount Range or at any discount to par
value, as applicable, or in the case of Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, the date of the Borrower Party’s election not to accept any Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers. 

(B) (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower Party may from time to time offer to make a
Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole
discretion of the Borrower Party, to (x) each Term Lender and/or (y) each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such offer shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered to be
prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”) with respect to each applicable Class, the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the specific percentage discount to par (the “Specified
Discount”) of such Term Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Specified Discounts and/or Specified Discount Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such
offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.03(a)(iv)(B)), (III) the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof and (IV) each such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a
form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each such Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such
notice to such Lenders (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date”). 
 (2) Each Term Lender
receiving such offer shall notify the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its applicable then outstanding Term Loans at the


  
 69 








 
Specified Discount and, if so (such accepting Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount and the Classes of such Lender’s Term Loans to be prepaid at such
offered discount. Each acceptance of a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Term Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment Response is not received by the Auction Agent by the Specified
Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept the applicable Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment. 

(3) If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the relevant Borrower Party will make a prepayment of
outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this paragraph (B) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding amount and Classes of Term Loans specified in such Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment
Response given pursuant to subsection (2) above; provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such
prepayment shall be made pro rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation
with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any
case within three (3) Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the relevant Borrower Party of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date
and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans to be
prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date and (III) each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount, Class and Type of Term Loans of such Lender to be prepaid
at the Specified Discount on such date. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower Party and such Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The
payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower Party shall be due and payable by such Borrower Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below). 

(C) (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower Party may from time to time solicit Discount Range
Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of such
Borrower Party, to (x) each Term Lender and/or (y) each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans
(the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”), the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par (the “Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Term
Loans with respect to each relevant Class of Term Loans willing to be prepaid by such Borrower Party (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount Range Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of
Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.03(a)(iv)(C)), (III) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and
whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower Party shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with
a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day
after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (the “Discount Range Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and shall specify a discount to par within the
Discount 

  
 70 








 
Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes and the
maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount. Any Term Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is
not received by the Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range. 

(2) The Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range
Prepayment Response Date and shall determine (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid at such
Applicable Discount in accordance with this subsection (C). The relevant Borrower Party agrees to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Discount Range
Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par
within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is
larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to the following subsection (3)) at the
Applicable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Participating Lender”). 
 (3) If there is at least one
Participating Lender, the relevant Borrower Party will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at
the Applicable Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of
the relevant Term Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the
Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in
its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discount Range Prepayment Response
Date, notify (I) the relevant Borrower Party of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan
Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount and Classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date,
(III) each Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration.
Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the relevant Borrower Party and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such
notice to the Borrower Party shall be due and payable by such Borrower Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below). 

(D) (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower Party may from time to time solicit Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction 

  
 71 








 
Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole
discretion of such Borrower Party, to (x) each Term Lender and/or (y) each Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate amount of the Term Loans
(the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”) and the Class or Classes of Term Loans the applicable Borrower Party is willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may
be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.03(a)(iv)(D)), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall
be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower Party shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The
Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Auction Agent (or its
delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Term Lender is willing to allow
prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount. Any Term Lender whose
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount. 

(2) The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the relevant Borrower Party with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. Such Borrower Party shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding
Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the Borrower Party (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrower Party elects to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as
soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by such Borrower Party from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (2) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Borrower Party shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the
Auction Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrower Party by the Acceptance Date, such Borrower Party shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers. 

(3) Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in
consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment
Amount”) to be prepaid by the relevant Borrower Party at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.03(a)(iv)(D). If the Borrower Party elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower Party agrees to accept
all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each
Term Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered
Amount (subject to any required pro-rata reduction pursuant to

the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). The Borrower Party will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this
subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount
by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered
Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified
Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount
Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (I) the relevant Borrower Party of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising
the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the Classes to be prepaid to be
prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified
Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to such Borrower Party and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest
error. The payment amount specified in such notice to such Borrower Party shall be due and payable by such Borrower Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J)
below). 
 (E) In connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower Parties and the Term Lenders acknowledge
and agree that the Auction Agent may require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses from a Borrower Party in connection therewith. 

(F) If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with subsections (B) through (D) above, a Borrower Party shall prepay
such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The relevant Borrower Party shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying
Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 p.m., New York time, on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining
principal installments of the relevant Class(es) of Loans on a pro rata basis across such installments. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not
including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(a)(iv) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as
applicable, and shall be applied to the relevant Term Loans of such Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement. The aggregate principal amount of the Classes and
installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Classes of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan
Prepayment. In connection with each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.03(a)(iv), the relevant Borrower Party shall make a customary representation to the assigning or assignee Term Lenders, as applicable, that it does not possess material non-public information (or material information of the type that would not be public if the Borrower or any Parent Entity were a publicly-reporting company) with respect to
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that either (1) has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders that have elected not to receive such information) or (2) if not disclosed to the Term Lenders, would
reasonably be expected to have a material effect on, or otherwise be material to (A) a Term Lender’s decision to participate in any 

  
 73 








 
such Discounted Term Loan Prepayment or (B) the market price of such Term Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, no such representation will be required in the case of open market purchases by
Affiliated Lenders, which may possess such material non-public information), or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made. 

(G) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to
procedures consistent with the provisions in this Section 2.03(a)(iv), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower. 

(H) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.03(a)(iv), each notice
or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such
notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day. 

(I) Each of the Borrower Parties and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of
its duties under this Section 2.03(a)(iv) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by
such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this
Section 2.03(a)(iv) as well as activities of the Auction Agent. 
 (J) The Borrower Party shall have the right, by
written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to the preceding clauses, any failure by such Borrower Party to make any
prepayment to a Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.03(a)(iv) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01 or otherwise). 

(b) Mandatory. 

(i) Within five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a)
(commencing with financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014; provided that the Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 shall be calculated solely with respect to each full fiscal quarter
therein occurring after the Closing Date) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a), the Borrower shall, subject to clauses (b)(v) and (vi) of this Section 2.03, prepay, or cause to be
prepaid, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to (A) 50% (such percentage as it may be reduced as described below, the “ECF Percentage”) of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the fiscal year (or the relevant portion
thereof in the case of the 2013 fiscal year) covered by such financial statements minus (B) the sum of all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(i) or 2.03(a)(iv) (in an amount, in the case of
prepayments pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iv), equal to the discounted amount actually paid in respect of the principal amount of such Term Loans and only to the extent that such Loans have been cancelled) and voluntary prepayments of the Senior
Notes and (ii) all voluntary prepayments of loans under the ABL Credit Agreement and any other revolving facility that is secured, in whole or in part (in each case, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in the corresponding
revolving commitments), in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), made during such fiscal year (without duplication of any prepayments in such fiscal year that reduced the amount of Excess Cash Flow required to be
repaid pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(i) for any prior fiscal year) or after such fiscal year-end and prior to the 

  
 74 








 
time such prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(i) is due and to the extent such prepayments are not funded with Excluded Proceeds; provided that (x) the ECF Percentage
shall be 25% if the Secured Net Leverage Ratio as of the end of the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00 and greater than 2.75 to 1.00 and (y) the ECF Percentage shall be 0% if the Secured Net
Leverage Ratio as of the end of the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00. 

(ii) (A) If (x) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any property or assets (other than any
Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(a), (b), (c), (d) (to the extent constituting a Disposition to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor), (e), (g), (h), (i), (k), (l), (m), (n), (o), (p),
(q), (r), (s) or (t) or the Disposition of the Commercial and Retread Business) or (y) any Casualty Event occurs, which results in the realization or receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds, the
Borrower shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the date of the realization or receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds, subject to
clause (B) of this Section 2.03(b)(ii) and clauses (b)(v) and (vi) of this Section 2.03, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds realized or received; provided, that if at
the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Borrower (or any Restricted Subsidiary) are required to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes or Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt or any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness secured
on an equal priority basis with the Obligations (or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof that is secured on an equal priority basis with the Obligations) pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the net
proceeds of such Disposition or Casualty Event (such Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt and Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness secured on an equal priority basis with the Obligations (or such Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any of
the foregoing that is secured on an equal priority basis with the Obligations) required to be offered to be so repurchased, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Borrower (or any Restricted Subsidiary) may apply such Net Cash
Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided that the portion of such net proceeds allocated to the Other
Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such net proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such net proceeds shall be allocated to the
Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the repurchase or prepayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant
to this Section 2.03(b)(ii)(A) shall be reduced accordingly; provided, further, that to the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased or prepaid, the declined amount shall
promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, further, that no prepayment shall be required pursuant
to this Section 2.03(b)(ii)(A) with respect to such portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that the Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest (or entered into a binding
commitment to reinvest) in accordance with Section 2.03(b)(ii)(B). 
 (B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds
realized or received with respect to any Disposition (other than any Disposition specifically excluded from the application of Section 2.03(b)(ii)(A)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower and the Restricted
Subsidiaries may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for their business within (x) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary
enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (1) twelve (12) months following receipt thereof and (2) one hundred
eighty (180) days of the date of such legally binding commitment; provided, that if any Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, and
subject to clauses (v) and (vi) of this Section 2.03(b), an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no
longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.03. 

  
 75 








 (iii) If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any
Indebtedness (A) not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03 or (B) that constitutes Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness or Other Term Loans, the Borrower shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, an
aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of Class or Classes being refinanced (in each case, as directed by the Borrower) equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after
the receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds. 
 (iv) (A) Except as otherwise set
forth in any Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or Incremental Amendment, each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 2.03(b)(i), (ii) and (iii)(A) shall be allocated to the Classes of Term Loans outstanding based upon the
then outstanding principal amounts of the respective Classes of Term Loans, pro rata, based upon the applicable remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of each such Class of Term Loans, shall be applied pro rata to Term Lenders
within each Class, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Term Lender under each such Class of Term Loans and shall be applied to reduce such remaining scheduled installments of principal within each such Class in direct
order of maturity; provided that with respect to the allocation of such prepayments under this clause (A) between an Existing Term Loan Class and Extended Term Loans of the same Term Loan Extension Series, the Borrower may allocate such
prepayments as the Borrower may specify, subject to the limitation that the Borrower shall not allocate to Extended Term Loans of any Term Loan Extension Series any such mandatory prepayment unless such prepayment under this clause (A) is
accompanied by at least a pro rata prepayment, based upon the applicable remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect thereof, of the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class, if any, from which such Extended Term Loans were
converted or exchanged (or such Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class have otherwise been repaid in full) and (B) each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 2.03(b)(iii)(B) shall be allocated to any Class or Classes of Term
Loans outstanding as directed by the Borrower (subject to the requirement that the proceeds shall be applied to prepay or repay the applicable Refinanced Indebtedness), shall be applied pro rata to Term Lenders within each such Class, based upon the
outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Term Lender under each such Class or Classes of Term Loans and shall be applied to reduce such remaining scheduled installments of principal within each such Class or Classes in direct order of
maturity. 
 (v) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans
required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.03(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a
reasonably detailed calculation of the aggregate amount of such prepayment to be made by the Borrower. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such
Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement. Each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share, or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement,
of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.03(b) by providing written notice (each, a
“Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, two (2) Business Days after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such
prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within
the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Subject to
the terms of the ABL Credit Documents, any Declined Proceeds remaining shall be retained by the Borrower. 
 (vi)
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.03(b), (A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(ii) (a
“Foreign Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Casualty Event”), or Excess Cash Flow are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being
repatriated to the United States, the portion of 

  
 76 








 
such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.03(b) but may be retained by the
applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably
required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and
an amount equal to such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result
thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) to the extent otherwise provided herein and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash
Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition, any Foreign Casualty Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax cost consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation)
with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary. 

(c) Interest, Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.03 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon,
together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05. 

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.03, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
if any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.03 prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.03 in respect of any such Eurodollar
Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in their sole discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder together with accrued interest to the last
day of such Interest Period into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan
Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.03. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further
action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.03. Such deposit shall be deemed to be a
prepayment of such Loans by the Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 2.04 Termination of Commitments. The
Term B Commitment of each Term Lender on the Closing Date shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Lender’s Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01. 

SECTION 2.05 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate
Lenders (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last Business Day of June, 2014, an aggregate principal amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans
outstanding on the Closing Date (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03) and (ii) on the Maturity Date for the Initial Term Loans,
the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date. 
 SECTION 2.06 Interest. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
applicable Borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 

  
 77 








 (b) During the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), the Borrower shall
pay interest on past due amounts hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on
past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law. 
 SECTION 2.07 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately
agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Agent). 

SECTION 2.08 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the
basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as
applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for
the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of
an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (b) If, as a result of any
restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of any Restricted Subsidiary or for any other reason, the Borrower, Holdings or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries as calculated by the Borrower or Holdings as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of such Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher Applicable Rate for such period, the Borrower
shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders on demand by the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an
order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid
for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under Article VIII. 

SECTION 2.09 Evidence of Indebtedness. 

(a) The Borrowings extended by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by
one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary
course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Borrowings extended by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and
payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between
the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent, as set forth in the Register, in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence
of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Term Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such
Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Term Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 

  
 78 








 (b) In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.09(a) and (b), and by each Lender in
its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.09(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and,
in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an
entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

SECTION 2.10 Payments Generally. 

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s
Office for payment and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Appropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided
herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding
Business Day (but the Administrative Agent may extend such deadline for purposes of computing interest and fees (but not beyond the end of such day) in its sole discretion whether or not such payments are in process). 

(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (c) Unless the Borrower or
any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date, or in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing, any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder
(in the case of the Borrower, for the account of any Lender hereunder or, in the case of the Lenders, for the account of the Borrower), that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that
such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then: 
 (i) if the Borrower failed to make
such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and
including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and 

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the
amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the
“Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such
payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount
forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent 

  
 79 








 
may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount, or cause such amount to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the
Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.10(c)
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made
by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Section 4.01 are
not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date
required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan. 

(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute
a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 (g) Whenever
any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03 (or otherwise expressly set forth
herein). If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are
to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the
sum of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender. 

SECTION 2.11 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain payment in
respect of any principal of or interest on account of the Loans made by it (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof,
such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans of such Class made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to
share the excess payment in respect of any principal of or interest on such Loans of such Class pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under
any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the
purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total
amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this
Section 2.11 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted hereunder. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount
of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be 

  
 80 








 
conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.11 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or
repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect
to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. 

SECTION 2.12 Incremental Facilities. 

(a) Incremental Loan Request. The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative
Agent (an “Incremental Loan Request”), request one or more new commitments which may be of the same Class as any outstanding Term Loans (a “Term Loan Increase”) or a new Class of term loans (collectively with any
Term Loan Increase, the “Incremental Term Commitments”), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders. Each Incremental Loan Request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.12
shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Commitments. 
 (b) Incremental Term Loans.
Any Incremental Term Loans effected through the establishment of one or more new term loans made on an Incremental Facility Closing Date (other than a Term Loan Increase) shall be designated a separate Class of Incremental Term Loans for all
purposes of this Agreement. On any Incremental Facility Closing Date on which any Incremental Term Commitments of any Class are effected (including through any Term Loan Increase), subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this
Section 2.12, (i) each Incremental Term Lender of such Class shall make a Loan to the Borrower (an “Incremental Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and (ii) each Incremental
Term Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and the Incremental Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incremental Term Loans may
have identical terms to any of the Term Loans and be treated as the same Class as any of such Term Loans. 
 (c) Incremental Term
Lenders. Incremental Term Loans may be made by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Term Commitment (or Incremental Term Loan), nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any
existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Term Commitment (or Incremental Term Loan)) or by any Additional Lender (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Loan or Commitment, an “Incremental Term Lender”);
provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 10.07(b) for an assignment of
Loans to such Additional Lender and (ii) with respect to Incremental Term Commitments, any Affiliated Lender providing an Incremental Term Commitment shall be subject to the same restrictions set forth in Section 10.07(h) as they would
otherwise be subject to with respect to any purchase by or assignment to such Affiliated Lender of Term Loans. 
 (d) Effectiveness of
Incremental Amendment. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (the “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the following conditions: 

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist after giving effect to such Incremental Term Commitments; provided that,
with respect to any Incremental Amendment the primary purpose of which is to finance an acquisition permitted by this Agreement, the requirement pursuant to this clause (d)(i) shall be that no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or
(f) shall exist after giving effect to such Incremental Term Commitments (in the case of an acquisition which is a Limited Condition Acquisition, such determination to be subject to Section 1.10); 

(ii) each Incremental Term Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 and shall be
in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth clause (iii) of this Section 2.12(d)); and 

  
 81 








 (iii) the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loans together with the
aggregate principal amount of Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt, calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to any such incurrence, shall not result in a Secured Net Leverage Ratio for the Test Period most recently ended in excess of
4.00 to 1.00 (calculating the Secured Net Leverage Ratio without netting the cash proceeds from such Incremental Term Loans) (the “Available Incremental Amount”). 

(e) Required Terms. The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Commitments of any Class
and any Term Loan Increase shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Term Commitments, and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not identical to the Term Loans
existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date, shall be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent; provided that the documentation governing any Incremental Term Loans may include any Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant
so long as the Administrative Agent shall have been given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of each Facility; provided, further,
that in the case of a Term Loan Increase, the terms, provisions and documentation of such Term Loan Increase shall be identical (other than with respect to upfront fees, OID or similar fees, it being understood that, if required to consummate such
Term Loan Increase transaction, the interest rate margins and rate floors may be increased and additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders providing the Term Loan Increase) to the applicable Term Loans being increased, in each
case, as existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date. In any event: 
 (i) the Incremental Term Loans: 

(A) shall rank equal in priority in right of payment and of security with the Initial Term Loans, 

(B) shall not mature earlier than the Original Term Loan Maturity Date, 

(C) shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the
Initial Term Loans on the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans (without giving effect to any amortization or prepayment of Term Loans prior to the time of such incurrence), 

(D) shall have an Applicable Rate and, subject to clauses (e)(i)(B) and (e)(i)(C) above and clause (e)(ii) below,
amortization determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders, and 
 (E) may participate on a pro
rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments of Term Loans under Section 2.03(b)(i), (ii) or (iii)(A), as specified in the
applicable Incremental Amendment. 
 (ii) the amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Loans and the All-In Yield applicable to the Incremental Term Loans of each Class shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Amendment;
provided, however, that with respect to any Loans made under Incremental Term Commitments within twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental
Term Loans shall not be greater than the applicable All-In Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to Initial Term Loans plus
50 basis points per annum unless the interest rate (together with, as provided in the proviso below, the Eurodollar Rate floor) with respect to the Initial Term Loans is increased so as to cause the then applicable
All-In Yield under this Agreement on the Initial Term Loans to equal the All-In Yield then applicable to the Incremental Term Loans minus 50 basis points;
provided that any increase in All-In Yield on the Initial Term Loans due to the application of a Eurodollar Rate floor on any Incremental Term Loan shall be effected solely through an increase in (or
implementation of, as applicable) the Eurodollar Rate floor applicable to such Loans. 

  
 82 








 (f) Incremental Amendment. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans shall become
Commitments, under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Term Lender providing such
Incremental Term Commitments and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Loan Party, Agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or
appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.12. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise required by the Incremental Term Lenders, the effectiveness of any
Incremental Amendment shall not be subject to the bring-down of the representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document on and as of
the date of such Borrowing of Incremental Term Loans; provided, however, that with respect to any Incremental Term Loans to finance an acquisition permitted by this Agreement, the condition to the availability or borrowing of such
Incremental Term Loans that the Specified Representations as they relate to the target of such acquisition (conformed as necessary for such acquisition) be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of such Borrowing, may not be waived
without the consent of the Required Lenders. In connection with any Incremental Amendment, the Borrower shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver customary reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral
Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Incremental Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans
for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Commitments or Incremental Term Loans unless it so agrees. 

(g) This Section 2.12 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 10.01 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any
of the provisions of this Section 2.12 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, no Incremental Amendment shall effect any amendments that would require the consent of each affected Lender or all
Lenders pursuant to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 10.01, unless each such Lender has, or all such Lenders have, as the case may, given its or their consent to such amendment. 

SECTION 2.13 Refinancing Amendments. 

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Other Term Loans to refinance all
or any portion of the applicable Class or Classes of Loans then outstanding under this Agreement which will be made pursuant to Other Term Loan Commitments, pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Other Term Loans (i) may
rank equal in priority in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (ii)(A) will have interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts,
original issue discounts and prepayment terms and premiums as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Other Term Loans in addition to any of
the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, (iii) may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) as may
be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iv) will have a final maturity date no earlier than, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity equal to or greater than, the Loans being refinanced (except by virtue of
amortization or prepayment of the Loans prior to the time of such refinancing) and (v) will have such other terms and conditions (other than as provided in foregoing clauses (ii) through (iv)) that are identical in all material respects
to, or (taken as a whole) are no more restrictive on the Borrower than those applicable to the Loans being refinanced (provided that such terms shall not be deemed to be “more restrictive” solely as a result of the inclusion in the
documentation governing such Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans of a Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant so long as the Administrative Agent shall be given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to
include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of each Facility); provided, further, that the terms and conditions applicable to such Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans may provide for any
additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date in respect of Term Loans that is in effect
immediately prior to the date in respect of the Class of Loans being refinanced that is in effect on the date such Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans are incurred or obtained. Any Other Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or
on a 

  
 83 








 
less than pro rata basis (but, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments under Section 2.03(b)(i), (ii) or
(iii)(A), as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment. In connection with any Refinancing Amendment, the Borrower shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver customary reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments
to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Other Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. 

(b) Each Class of Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans incurred under this Section 2.13 shall be in an aggregate principal
amount that is not less than $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each
of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Other Term Loan
Commitments and Other Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Other Term Loans and/or Other Term Loan Commitments as Loans and Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any
other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.13. 

(c) This Section 2.13 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 10.01 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any
of the provisions of this Section 2.13 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, no Refinancing Amendment shall effect any amendments that would require the consent of each affected Lender or all
Lenders pursuant to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 10.01, unless each such Lender has, or all such Lenders have, as the case may be, given its or their consent to such amendment. No Lender shall be under any obligation to provide
any Other Term Loan Commitment unless such Lender executes a Refinancing Amendment. 
 SECTION 2.14 Extensions of Loans. 

(a) Extension of Term Loans. The Borrower, at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any
Class (each, an “Existing Term Loan Class”) be converted or exchanged to extend the scheduled Maturity Date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term
Loans which have been so extended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14. Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment with respect to any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower
shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Class, with such request offered equally to all such Lenders of such Existing Term Loan
Class) (each, a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be identical in all material respects to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class
from which they are to be extended except that (i) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments, if any, of all or a portion of any principal amount of such Extended Term Loans may be
delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization, if any, of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in the
Extension Amendment, the Incremental Amendment, the Refinancing Amendment or any other amendment, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were extended, in each case as more particularly
set forth in Section 2.14(b) below), (ii)(A) the interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and voluntary prepayment terms and premiums with
respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than those for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to any of
the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) the Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment
terms and premiums) as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iv) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, not greater
than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments under Section 2.03(b)(i), (ii) or (iii)(A), in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request, and (v) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants


  
 84 








 
and terms that apply to any period after the Latest Maturity Date in respect of Term Loans that is in effect immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans. No Lender shall
have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans extended pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request
shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and shall constitute a separate Class of Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were
extended; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series
with respect to such Existing Term Loan Class. 
 (b) Extension Request. The Borrower shall provide the applicable Term Loan
Extension Request to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan
Class are requested to respond. Any Lender holding a Term Loan under an Existing Term Loan Class (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans of an Existing Term Loan Class or Existing Term
Loan Classes, as applicable, subject to such Term Loan Extension Request converted or exchanged into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such
Term Loan Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans which it has elected to convert or exchange into Extended Term Loans. In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of
Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Term Loan Extension Request, Term Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be converted or exchanged into Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis (subject to such rounding requirements as may be
established by the Administrative Agent) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans included in each such Extension Election or as may be otherwise agreed to in the applicable Extension Amendment. 

(c) Extension Amendment. Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Extension
Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.14(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.01, shall not require the
consent of any Lender other than the Extending Term Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans established thereby, as the case may be) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Term Lenders. Each request for a Term
Loan Extension Series of Extended Term Loans proposed to be incurred under this Section 2.14 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may determine in its
sole discretion) (it being understood that the actual principal amount thereof provided by the applicable Lenders may be lower than such minimum amount). In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.14(a), each of the
parties hereto agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent necessary to (i) in respect of each Extension Amendment in respect
of Extended Term Loans, amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.05 or the applicable Incremental Amendment, Extension Amendment, Refinancing Amendment or other amendment, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing
Term Loan Class from which the Extended Term Loans were exchanged to reduce each scheduled repayment amount for the Existing Term Loan Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class is to be reduced pursuant
to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any repayment amount payable with respect to any individual Term Loan of such Existing Term Loan Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof);
(ii) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto; (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.03 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments
with respect thereto and (iv) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of
this Section 2.14, and the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment. In connection with any Extension Amendment, the Borrower shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent, deliver customary reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Extended Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the
applicable Loan Documents. 

  
 85 








 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which
any Existing Term Loan Class and is converted or exchanged to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.14, in the case of the existing Term Loans of each Extending Term
Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such existing Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted or exchanged by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans
shall be established as a separate Class of Loans (together with any other Extended Term Loans so established on such date), except as otherwise provided under Section 2.14(a). 

(e) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans of a given Term
Loan Extension Series to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error in the receipt and processing of an Extension Election timely submitted by such Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
applicable Extension Amendment, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Amendment”) within 15 days following the effective date of such Extension Amendment, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Amendment shall (i) provide for the
conversion or exchange and extension of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class, in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Term Loans of the applicable Term Loan Extension Series into which such other Term Loans were
initially converted or exchanged, as the case may be, in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans or Commitments to which it was
entitled under the terms of such Extension Amendment, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Lender may agree, and (iii) effect such other
amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.14(c). 

(f) No conversion or exchange of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.14 shall
constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (g) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any
provisions in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 10.01 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.14 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, no Extension Amendment
shall effect any amendments that would require the consent of each affected Lender or all Lenders pursuant to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 10.01, unless each such Lender has, or all such Lenders have, as the case may be, given
its or their consent to such amendment. 
 SECTION 2.15 Prepayment Premium. 

In the event that, on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower make any prepayment of Initial Term Loans pursuant
to Section 2.03(a)(i) or 2.03(b)(iii), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Lender, a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans being
prepaid. 
 ARTICLE III 

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality 

SECTION 3.01 Taxes. 

(a) Except as required by applicable Law, any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any
Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes. 
 (b) If any Loan Party or any other applicable
withholding agent is required by applicable Law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Taxes from any sum paid or payable by any Loan 

  
 86 








 
Party to any Lender or Agent under any of the Loan Documents: (i) the applicable Loan Party shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such
requirement as soon as such Loan Party becomes aware of it; (ii) the applicable Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall make such deduction or withholding and pay to the relevant Governmental Authority any such Tax before the
date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Loan Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Lender or Agent) on behalf of and in the name of the Lender or Agent
(as applicable); (iii) if the Tax in question is a Non-Excluded Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable to such Lender or Agent (as applicable) shall be increased by such Loan Party to the extent necessary to
ensure that, after the making of any required deduction or withholding for Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including any deductions or withholdings for Non-Excluded
Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to any payments required to be made under this Section 3.01), the Lender or the Agent (as applicable), receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction or
withholding been required or made; and (iv) within thirty days after paying any sum from which it is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by
clause (ii) above to pay, the Borrower making such payments shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction or withholding and of the remittance thereof to the relevant
Governmental Authority. 
 (c) Status of Lender. Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption
from, or reduction in, withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under any Loan Document. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific
documentation required below in this Section 3.01(c)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent of its inability to do so. 

Without limiting the foregoing: 

(i) Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a
party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. 

(ii) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a
party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable: 

(A) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code, 

(B) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8ECI (or any successor forms), 
 (C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the
benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit F (any such certificate, a
“United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms), 

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a
participating Lender), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI,


  
 87 








 
W-8BEN, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or
any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 3.01(c) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if one or more beneficial owners
are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner), or 

(E) two properly completed and duly signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws
(including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, United States federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents. 

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA
if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code)
and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has
complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date
of this Agreement. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (c), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is
not legally eligible to deliver. 
 (d) In addition to the payments by a Loan Party required by Section 3.01(b), the Borrower shall pay
any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (e) The Loan Parties shall, jointly and
severally, indemnify a Lender or Agent (each a “Tax Indemnitee”), within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes paid or payable by such Tax
Indemnitee on or attributable to any payment under or with respect to any Loan Document, and any Other Taxes payable by such Tax Indemnitee (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith
and delivered by the Tax Indemnitee or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Tax Indemnitee, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(f) If and to the extent that a Tax Indemnitee, in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith), determines that it has received a refund of
any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes in respect of which it has received additional payments under this Section 3.01, then such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to the relevant Loan Party the amount of such
refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Tax Indemnitee (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest
paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Tax Indemnitee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Tax Indemnitee if the Tax Indemnitee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the
Tax Indemnitee be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Tax Indemnitee in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Tax Indemnitee would have been in if the Tax
subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be
construed to require a Tax Indemnitee to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person. 

  
 88 








 (g) The agreements in this Section 3.01 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 SECTION 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably
determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference
to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in
the London interbank market, then, on written notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base
Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such
Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to
or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans and shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which
Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if
such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender
determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate with respect to any Base Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender
without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon
any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 
 SECTION 3.03
Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders reasonably determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being
offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest
Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall
be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation
of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 

SECTION 3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. 

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(d)); 

  
 89 








 (ii) subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and
any Excluded Taxes); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense
affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender that is not otherwise accounted for in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” or this clause (a); 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is
determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest
or any other amount) then, from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower will pay to such
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such amounts shall only be payable by the Borrower to the applicable Lender under this
Section 3.04(a) so long as it is such Lender’s general policy or practice to demand compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other financing agreements. 

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of
such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by it to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation
of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower will pay to such Lender additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered; provided that such amounts shall only be payable by the Borrower to the applicable Lender under this Section 3.04(b) so long as it is such Lender’s general policy or practice to demand compensation in similar circumstances
under comparable provisions of other financing agreements. 
 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain
reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal
to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan,
provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest
Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice. 

  
 90 








 SECTION 3.05 Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense
actually incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate
Loan on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue
or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or 
 (c) any assignment of a
Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.07; 

including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds
obtained by it to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. 

SECTION 3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to
designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case,
would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect. 

(b) Suspension of Lender Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by
notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another Interest Period, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate
Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to
receive the compensation so requested. 
 (c) Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans. If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon
such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for
such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans of a given Class held by the Lenders of such Class holding Eurodollar Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal
amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
 (d) Delay in Requests.
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Sections 3.01 or 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower
shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 3.01 or 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such
Lender notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to 

  
 91 








 
such claim and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

SECTION 3.07 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04 or ceases to make Eurodollar Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority
for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, (iii) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or (iv) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to
replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to clause (iii) above, all of its interests, rights and obligations with
respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver, or amendment, as applicable) and the related Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees that shall assume such obligations (any of which assignee
may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 
 (a) the Borrower shall have paid to the
Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.07(b)(iv); 
 (b) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the applicable outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05
and any “prepayment premium” pursuant to Section 2.15 that would otherwise be owed in connection therewith) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of
all other amounts); 
 (c) such Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall (i) execute and deliver
an Assignment and Assumption with respect to all, or a portion, as applicable, of such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans, and (ii) deliver any Term Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent (or a lost or
destroyed note indemnity in lieu thereof); provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver such Term Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and
such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and the Term Notes shall be deemed to be canceled upon such failure; 
 (d)
the Eligible Assignee shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification and
confidentiality provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender; 
 (e) in the case of any
such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 

(f) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and 

(g) the Lender that acts as Administrative Agent cannot be replaced in its capacity as Administrative Agent other than in
accordance with Section 9.06, 
 or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender
relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date (including any “prepayment premium” pursuant to Section 2.15 that would otherwise be owed in connection therewith); provided that in the case of
any such termination of the Commitment of a Non-Consenting Lender such termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of the applicable consent, waiver or
amendment of the Loan Documents and such termination shall, with respect to clause (iii) above, be in respect of all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related
consent, waiver and amendment. 

  
 92 








 In the event that (i) any of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the
Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of each Lender, all affected Lenders or all the Lenders
or all affected Lenders with respect to a certain Class or Classes of the Loans/Commitments and (iii) the Required Lenders or Required Facility Lenders, as applicable, have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does
not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.” 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or 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. 
 SECTION 3.08
Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity. 
 SECTION 5.03
Governmental Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Loan Parties of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, the borrowing of Loans and the use of the proceeds thereof (a) do not

Transactions as if the Transactions had occurred at the beginning of such period (together with the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Administrative
Agent, has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to the consummation of the Transactions. The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable as of
the date thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of the Borrower its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the Pro Forma Balance Sheet Date, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had
actually occurred at such date. 
 (b) Since December 31, 2013, there has been no event or circumstance, either individually or in the
aggregate, that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.06 Litigation. There are
no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries (i) as to which there
is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any Loan Documents. 

  
 96 








 SECTION 5.07 Labor Matters. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Loan Party pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, (b) the hours worked by and payments made to
employees of the Loan Parties and the Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable federal, state, provincial, local or foreign law dealing with such matters and (c) all payments due from any
Loan Party or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Loan Party or such Subsidiary to the extent required by GAAP. Except as,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect the consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to a right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any
collective bargaining agreement to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is a party or by which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is bound. 

SECTION 5.08 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Loan Party and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has good and insurable fee
simple title to, or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in, all its real properties and has good and marketable title to its personal property and assets, in each case, except for defects in title that do
not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes and except where the failure to have such title would not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens (i) permitted by Section 7.01 or (ii) arising by operation of law (which Liens, in the case of
this clause (ii) do not materially interfere with the ability of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to carry on its business as now conducted or to utilize the affected properties or assets for their intended purposes). 

SECTION 5.09 Environmental Matters. Except for matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect (i) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability and (ii) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (1) has failed
to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law or (2) has become subject to any Environmental Liability. 

SECTION 5.10 Taxes. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports
required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as
applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 5.11 ERISA Compliance. No ERISA Event has occurred in the five year period prior to the date on which this representation
is made or deemed made and is continuing or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under all Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plans, in the aggregate. 

SECTION 5.12 Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 5.12 sets forth (a) a correct and complete list of the
name and relationship to the Borrower of each and all of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, (b) a true and complete listing of each class of the Borrower’s and each Subsidiary’s authorized Equity Interests, of which all of such issued
shares are validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and owned beneficially and of record by the Persons identified on Schedule 5.12, and (c) the type of entity of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries. All of the
issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Subsidiaries owned by any Loan Party have 

  
 97 








 
been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable free and clear of all Liens (other than
Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.01). As of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding purchase options, warrants, subscription rights, agreements to issue or sell, convertible interests or powers of attorney granted by the Borrower or a
Subsidiary of the Borrower relating to Equity Interests of the Borrower or any Subsidiary. 
 SECTION 5.13 Federal Reserve
Regulations; Investment Company Act. 
 (a) On the Closing Date, none of the Collateral is Margin Stock. No Loan Party nor any of its
Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and
whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X. 

(b) No Loan Party is an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. 

SECTION 5.14 Disclosure. 

(a) All written information (other than the Projections, the pro forma financial statements and estimates and information of a general
economic or general industry nature) concerning the Borrower, the Transactions and any other transactions contemplated hereby prepared by or on behalf of the foregoing or their representatives and made available to any Lender or the Agent in
connection with the Transactions on or before the date hereof (the “Information”), when taken as a whole, as of the date such Information was furnished to the Lenders and as of the Closing Date, did not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact as of any such date or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made (giving effect to all supplements
and updates). 
 (b) The Projections, pro forma financial statements and estimates prepared by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its
representatives and that have been made available to any Lender or the Agent in connection with the Transactions on or before the date hereof (the “Other Information”) (i) have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions
believed to be reasonable as of the date thereof (it being recognized that such Other Information is as to future events and is not to be viewed as a fact, the Other Information is subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of
which are beyond the control of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, that no assurance can be given that any particular projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Other Information may
differ from the projected results and such differences may be material), and (ii) as of the Closing Date, have not been modified in any material respect by the Loan Parties. 

SECTION 5.15 Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc. Each Loan Party owns or has the lawful right to use all material intellectual
property used in the conduct of its business (collectively, “IP Rights”), without conflict with any intellectual property rights of others, except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there is no pending or, to any Borrower’s knowledge, threatened claim that any Loan Party’s
ownership, use, marketing, sale or distribution of any inventory or other product violates another Person’s intellectual property rights. 

SECTION 5.16 Solvency. As of the Closing Date, and immediately after giving effect to the Transactions: (i) the fair value of
the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis;
(ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis, on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be
able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will not have unreasonably
small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date. 

  
 98 








 SECTION 5.17 Subordination of Junior Financing. The Obligations for principal,
interest (including, to the extent legally permitted, all interest accrued thereon after the commencement of any insolvency or liquidation proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate, specified in the applicable agreement),
premium (if any), fees, indemnifications, reimbursements, expenses, damages and other liabilities payable under the Loan Documents constitute “Senior Indebtedness” under and as defined in the Senior Notes Documents. 

SECTION 5.18 USA Patriot Act and OFAC. To the extent applicable, none of the Borrower or any other Loan Party will use the
proceeds of the Term Loans or otherwise make available such proceeds to any person for use in any manner that will result in a violation of (i) the USA PATRIOT Act and (ii) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the
foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 C.F.R. Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary nor,
to the knowledge of the Borrower, any director, officer or employee of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, is subject as of the Closing Date to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury
Department (“OFAC”) or a person on the list of “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons.” The proceeds of the Term Loans will not, to the knowledge of the Borrower, be made available to any Person for the
purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC. 
 SECTION 5.19
Collateral Documents. The provisions of the Collateral Documents are effective to create legal and valid Liens on the applicable Collateral described therein in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the
Lenders and the other Secured Parties (in each case, to the extent such matter is governed by the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction therein) and upon the taking of all actions described in the Loan Documents (but subject to the
limitations set forth therein), including, without limitation, the filing of UCC financing statements covering the appropriate Collateral in the jurisdiction of organization of each Loan Party and the filings of short form agreements or other
applicable documents or notices in respect of registered and applied for United States federal intellectual property owned by each Loan Party, such Liens will constitute perfected Liens on the Collateral, securing the applicable Obligations,
enforceable against the applicable Loan Party, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except in the case of (a) Permitted Liens and other Liens permitted under Section 7.01, to the extent any such Permitted Liens or
such Liens would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Agent pursuant to any applicable law or otherwise, (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title) to the extent the Agent has not obtained
or does not maintain possession of such Collateral and (c) subject to and as provided for under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Liens granted on the Collateral under the Senior Notes Documents and the ABL Credit Documents.

obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied, the Borrower shall, and shall (except in the case of the covenants set forth in Section 6.01, 6.02 and 6.03) cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to:

fiscal quarters of each fiscal year of the Borrower, its consolidated balance sheet and related statements of earnings, shareholders’ equity and cash flows as of the end of and for such fiscal quarter and the then elapsed portion of the fiscal
year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding period or periods of (or, in the case of the balance sheet, as of the end of) the previous fiscal year, all certified by one of its Financial Officers as
presenting fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year-end audit

(d) simultaneously with the delivery of each set of consolidated financial statements referred to in Sections 6.01(a) and

information of the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries by furnishing (A) the applicable financial statements of any Parent Entity of the Borrower or (B) the Borrower’s or such Parent Entity’s Form 10-K or 10-Q, as applicable, filed with the SEC; provided that, with respect to each of clauses (A) and (B), (i) to the extent such information relates to a

by a report and opinion of an independent registered public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing, which report and opinion shall not be subject to any “going concern” or like qualification or any qualification as to the scope
of such audit. 
 Any financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) shall not be required to contain
all purchase accounting adjustments relating to the Transactions or the Hercules Transactions to the extent it is not practicable to include any such adjustments in such financial statements.

there has been no change in such information since the Closing Date or the last date of disclosure of any such information to the Administrative Agent) and (ii) a list of each Subsidiary of the Borrower that identifies each Subsidiary as a

own behalf or on behalf of any Lender reasonably request in writing from time to time. 
 Documents required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 6.01(a) or (b) or Section 6.02(b) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which the Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto on the
Borrower’s (or any Parent Entity’s) website on the Internet at the website address listed on Schedule 10.02 hereto; or (ii) on which such documents are posted on the Borrower’s behalf on SyndTrak or another relevant
website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided that: (i) upon
written request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent for further distribution to each Lender until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the
Administrative Agent and (ii) the Borrower shall notify (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) the Administrative Agent of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions
(i.e., soft copies) of such documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for timely accessing posted documents or requesting delivery of paper copies of such documents from the Administrative Agent and maintaining its copies of such documents.

 The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information
provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on SyndTrak or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of
the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive information that is (i) of a type that would be publicly available (or could be derived from publicly
available information) if the Borrower were public reporting companies and (ii) material with respect to the Borrower or any of their respective securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws (all such
information described in the foregoing, “MNPI”)) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agree that (w) at the Administrative Agent’s request, all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to
Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials
“PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be 

  
 101 








 
deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower
Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.08); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public
Side Information”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall treat the Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Side
Information.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to mark the Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.” 

SECTION 6.03 Notices. Promptly after a Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge thereof, notify the Administrative Agent: 

(a) of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default; and 

(b) of (i) the filing or commencement of, or any written threat or notice of intention of any person to file or commence,
any action, suit or proceeding, whether at law or in equity or by or before any Governmental Authority or in arbitration, against any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries as to which an adverse determination is reasonably probable and which, if
adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) the occurrence of any ERISA Event that, together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred and are continuing, would reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Each notice pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be accompanied by a written statement of a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower (x) that such notice is being delivered pursuant to Section 6.03(a) or (b) (as applicable) and (y) setting forth details of the occurrence referred to therein and stating what action the
Borrower has taken and propose to take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 6.04 Payment of Obligations. Timely pay, discharge or
otherwise satisfy, as the same shall become due and payable, all of its obligations and liabilities in respect of Taxes imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in respect of its property, except, in each case, to the extent (i) any
such Tax is being contested in good faith and by appropriate actions for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP or (ii) the failure to pay or discharge the same would not reasonably be expected, individually or
in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 6.05 Preservation of Existence, Etc. 

(a) Preserve, renew and maintain in full force and effect its legal existence under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; and 

(b) take all reasonable action to obtain, preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its rights, licenses, permits, privileges,
franchises, and IP Rights material to the conduct of its business, 
 except in the case of clause (a) or (b) to the extent (other than with
respect to the preservation of the existence of the Borrower) that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or pursuant to any merger, consolidation, liquidation,
dissolution or Disposition permitted by Article VII. 
 SECTION 6.06 Maintenance of Properties. Except if the failure to do so
would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, maintain, preserve and protect all of its material properties and equipment used in the operation of its business in good working order, repair
and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and casualty or condemnation excepted. 
 SECTION 6.07 Maintenance of Insurance.
(a) Maintain with insurance companies that the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of its management) are financially sound and reputable at the time the relevant coverage is placed or renewed, insurance with respect to the
Borrower’s and the Restricted Subsidiaries’ properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the 

  
 102 








 
same or similar business, of such types and in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance reasonable and customary for similarly situated
Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses as the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries) as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons, and will furnish to the Lenders, upon written request from the
Administrative Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary be required to obtain or maintain
insurance that is more restrictive than its normal course of practice. Each such policy of insurance shall as appropriate, (i) name the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may
appear and/or (ii) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain an additional loss payable clause or endorsement that names the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as the additional loss payee thereunder. 

(b) If any portion of any Mortgaged Property is within a special flood hazard area, then the Borrower shall, or shall cause each Loan Party
to, (i) maintain, or cause to be maintained, with a financially sound and reputable insurer, flood insurance in an amount and otherwise sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Flood Insurance
Laws and (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent evidence of such compliance in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent. 

SECTION 6.08 Compliance with Laws. Comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs,
injunctions and decrees of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or to its business or property, except if the failure to comply therewith would not reasonably be expected individually or in the aggregate to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 SECTION 6.09 Books and Records. Maintain proper books of record and account, in which entries that are full, true and correct
in all material respects and are in conformity with GAAP shall be made of all material financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be (it being understood and
agreed that certain Foreign Subsidiaries maintain individual books and records in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in their respective countries of organization and that such maintenance shall not constitute a breach of the
representations, warranties or covenants hereunder). 
 SECTION 6.10 Inspection Rights. Permit representatives and independent
contractors of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to visit and inspect any of its properties, to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom and to discuss its affairs, finances and
accounts with its directors, officers, and independent public accountants (subject to such accountants’ customary policies and procedures), all at the reasonable expense of the Borrower and at such reasonable times during normal business hours
and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the Borrower; provided that, only the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this
Section 6.10 and the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights more often than two (2) times during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default and only one (1) such time shall be at the Borrower’s
expense; provided, further, that when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent (or any of its representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Borrower at any time during normal
business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower the opportunity to participate in any discussions with the Borrower’s independent public accountants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 6.10, none of the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making copies or abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter that
(a) constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information, (b) in respect of which disclosure to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender (or their respective representatives or contractors) is prohibited by Law or any binding agreement or (c) is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product.

 SECTION 6.11 Covenant to Give Security. Promptly following the acquisition by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any
After-Acquired Property (but subject to the limitations, if applicable, described in Article XII and the Collateral Documents), execute and deliver such mortgages, deeds of trust, security instruments, financing statements and, in the case of
interests in real property, certificates and opinions of counsel, as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected security interest in such After-Acquired Property and to have such After-Acquired Property added to the
Notes Collateral or the ABL Collateral, as 

  
 103 








 
applicable, and thereupon all provisions of this Agreement relating to the Notes Collateral or the ABL Collateral, as applicable, shall be deemed to relate to such After-Acquired Property to the
same extent and with the same force and effect. 
 SECTION 6.12 Compliance with Environmental Laws. Except, in each case, to the
extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (a) comply, and take all reasonable actions to cause any lessees and other Persons operating or occupying
its properties to comply, with all applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits; (b) obtain and renew all Environmental Permits necessary for its operations and properties; and (c) in each case to the extent required by
applicable Environmental Laws, conduct any investigation, study, sampling and testing, and undertake any cleanup, removal, remedial or other action necessary to remove and clean up all Hazardous Materials from any of its properties, in accordance
with the applicable requirements of Environmental Laws. 
 SECTION 6.13 Further Assurances and
Post-Closing Covenant. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Collateral Documents, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors shall execute any and all further documents, financing statements,
agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be reasonably required under applicable law, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the
security interests and Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents in the Collateral. 
 SECTION 6.14 Use of
Proceeds. The proceeds of the Initial Term Loans, together with the proceeds of the ABL Revolving Loans drawn on the Closing Date will be used (i) to pay for the Closing Date Release, (ii) to pay the Acquisition Consideration and

ARTICLE VII 

Negative Covenants 

So long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder or any Loan or other Obligation hereunder (other than contingent indemnification
obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied, the Borrower shall not, nor shall the Borrower permit any Restricted Subsidiary to: 

SECTION 7.01 Liens. Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property, assets or revenues, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, other than Permitted Liens. 
 SECTION 7.02 [Reserved]. 

SECTION 7.03 Indebtedness. 

(a) Create, incur, issue, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness. 

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.03: 

(i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of
Permitted Indebtedness described in the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness,” the Borrower, in its sole discretion, will classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the
amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses; and 
 (ii) the Borrower will be entitled to divide and classify
an item of Indebtedness in more than one clause of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness.” 

  
 104 








 (c) Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of
original issue discount and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 7.03. 

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the
incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date
such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar-equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if
such Indebtedness is incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such Refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated
at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such Refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such
Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of accrued interest, fees, underwriting discounts, premiums (including tender premiums) and
penalties (if any) thereon and other costs and expenses (including OID, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with such Refinancing. 

(e) Subject to the proviso to Section 7.03(d), the principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness, if
incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being Refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such
Refinancing.

defeasances and other payments in respect of Junior Financings from the Net Cash Proceeds of any Permitted Equity Issuance; and

avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.06 shall not restrict the making of any “AHYDO catch-up payment” with respect to, and required by the terms of, any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any

evidencing Indebtedness, are set forth in any agreement evidencing any permitted modification, replacement, renewal, extension or refinancing of such Indebtedness so long as such modification, replacement, renewal, extension or refinancing does not
expand the scope of the restrictions described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in such Contractual Obligation, 

(ii) are binding on a Restricted Subsidiary at the time such Restricted Subsidiary first becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, so
long as such Contractual Obligations were not entered into solely in contemplation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary,

such Restricted Subsidiary or the assets or property of another Restricted Subsidiary;

faith judgment of the Borrower, no more restrictive in any material respect with respect to such encumbrance and other restrictions taken as a whole than those prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement,
refunding, replacement or refinancing.

without the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that no amendment, modification or change of any term or condition of any Junior Financing Documentation
permitted by any Intercreditor Agreement in respect thereof shall be deemed to be materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders.

wholly-owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and non-wholly-owned Subsidiaries if such non-wholly-owned Subsidiaries guarantee capital markets debt securities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor), other than a Subsidiary
Guarantor, a Foreign Subsidiary (except any Foreign Subsidiary that guarantees any Indebtedness of the Borrower under the ABL Facility or capital markets debt securities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor) or a Securitization Subsidiary, to
guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Guarantor unless: 
 (i) such Restricted Subsidiary,
within 30 days after the guarantee of such Indebtedness, executes and delivers a Guarantor Joinder Agreement, providing for a Guaranty by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary Guarantor, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guaranty, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness
shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guaranty substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Obligations; and 

(ii) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guaranty; 

  
 117 








 provided that this Section 7.12 shall not be applicable to (i) any guarantee of any Restricted
Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) guarantees of any Qualified Securitization
Facility by any Restricted Subsidiary. The Borrower may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor to become a Guarantor, in which case such Subsidiary shall not be required to comply with
the 30 day period described in clause (i) above. 
 SECTION 7.13 Impairment of Security Interests. Subject to the rights of
the holders of Permitted Liens, neither the Borrower nor any of the Guarantors shall take any action, or knowingly or negligently omit to take any action, which action or omission might or would or could be reasonably expected to have the result of
materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in contravention of the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent and the
Lenders acknowledge and agree that any release of the Liens pursuant to this Agreement and the Collateral Documents shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Agreement and that any Person may rely on such provision in delivering a
certificate requesting release so long as all other provisions of this Agreement with respect to such release have been complied with. 

ARTICLE VIII 

Events of Default and Remedies 

SECTION 8.01 Events of Default. Each of the events referred to in clauses (a) through (k) of this Section 8.01

principal amount (individually or in the aggregate with all other Indebtedness as to which such a failure shall exist) of not less than the Threshold Amount, or (B) fails to observe or perform any other agreement or condition relating to any
such Indebtedness, or any other event occurs (other than, with respect to Indebtedness consisting of Hedging Obligations, termination events or equivalent events pursuant to the terms of such Hedging Obligations and not as a result of any default
thereunder by any Loan Party), the effect of which default or other event is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of such Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders or beneficiary or beneficiaries) to cause, with
the giving of notice if required, such Indebtedness to become due or to be repurchased, prepaid, defeased or redeemed (automatically or otherwise), or an offer to repurchase, prepay, defease or redeem such Indebtedness to be made, prior to its
stated maturity; provided that such failure is 

  
 118 








 
unremedied and is not waived by the holders of such Indebtedness prior to any termination of the Commitments or acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.02; provided,
further, that this clause (e)(B) shall not apply to (x) secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness, if such sale or transfer is permitted
hereunder and under the documents providing for such Indebtedness and (y) any Indebtedness permitted to exist or be incurred under the terms of this Agreement that is required to be repurchased, prepaid, defeased or redeemed (or as to which an
offer to repurchase, prepay, defease or redeem is required to be made) in connection with any asset sale event, casualty or condemnation event, change of control (without limiting the rights of the Agents and the Lenders under Section 8.02

administrator, administrative receiver or similar officer is appointed without the application or consent of such Person and the appointment continues undischarged or unstayed for sixty (60) calendar days; or any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law relating to any such Person or to all or any material part of its property is instituted without the consent of such Person and continues undismissed or unstayed for sixty (60) calendar days, or an order for relief is entered in any
such proceeding; or 
 (g) Judgments. There is entered against any Loan Party or any Material Subsidiary (or any group
of Restricted Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Material Subsidiary) a final judgment and order for the payment of money in an aggregate amount exceeding the Threshold Amount (to the extent not covered by independent third-party insurance as to which the insurer has been notified of such judgment or order and has not denied coverage thereof) and such judgment or order shall not have been satisfied, vacated, discharged or stayed
or bonded pending an appeal for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days; or 
 (h) ERISA. (i) An ERISA Event

result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) any Loan Party or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates fails to pay when due, after the expiration of any applicable grace period, any installment payment with respect to its Withdrawal Liability
under Section 4201 of ERISA under a Multiemployer Plan in an aggregate amount which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) any Loan Party or an ERISA Affiliate is notified in writing by the sponsor of a
Multiemployer Plan that such Multiemployer Plan is or is expected to be, in reorganization (within the meaning of Section 4242 of ERISA), insolvent (within the meaning of Section 4245 of ERISA) or in “endangered” or critical
status (within the meaning of Section 432 of the Code or Section 305 of ERISA) except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (iv) with respect to a Foreign Plan
a termination, withdrawal or noncompliance with applicable Law or plan terms that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or

to the satisfaction in full of all the Obligations (other than any contingent obligations not then due), ceases to be in full force and effect; or any Loan Party contests in writing the validity or enforceability of any provision of any Loan
Document; or any Loan Party denies in writing that it has any or further liability or obligation under any Loan Document (other than as a result of repayment in full of the Obligations (other than any contingent obligations not then due)), or

thereof pursuant to Section 4.01, 6.11, 6.13 or Article XII shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms hereof or thereof including as a result of a transaction not prohibited under this Agreement) cease to create, or any Lien
purported to be created by any Collateral Document shall be asserted in writing by any Loan Party not to be, a valid and perfected lien with the priority required by the Collateral Document (or other security purported to be created on the
applicable Collateral) on and security interest in any material portion of the Collateral purported to be covered thereby, subject to Liens permitted under Section 7.01, except to the extent that any such perfection or priority is not required
pursuant to Section 6.11 or 6.13 or Article XII or results from the failure of the Collateral Agent or the trustee under the Senior Notes Indenture to maintain possession of Collateral actually delivered to it and pledged under the Collateral
Documents or to file Uniform Commercial Code amendments relating to a Loan Party’s change of name or jurisdiction of formation (solely to the extent that the Borrower provides the Collateral Agent written notice thereof in accordance with the
Loan Documents, and the Collateral Agent and the Borrower have agreed that the Collateral Agent will be responsible for filing such amendments) and continuation statements and except as to Collateral consisting of real property to the extent that
such losses are covered by a lender’s title insurance policy and such insurer has not denied coverage, or (ii) any of the Equity Interests of the Borrower ceasing to be pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement free of Liens other than
Liens subject to the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any other Customary Intercreditor Agreement or any nonconsensual Liens arising solely by operation of Law; or

(a) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other
amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and 

(b) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan
Documents or applicable Law; 
 provided that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to
the Borrower under Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy,” as now or hereafter in effect, or any successor thereto (the “Bankruptcy Code”), the Commitments of each Lender shall automatically terminate and
the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. 

SECTION 8.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have
automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), subject to the Intercreditor Agreements any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the
following order: 
 First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and
other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; 

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than
principal and interest, but including Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Lenders, ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to

Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and 
 Last, the balance, if any, after all of the
Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law. 
 ARTICLE IX 

Administrative Agent and Other Agents 

SECTION 9.01 Appointment and Authorization of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America,
N.A., to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent
by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX (other than Sections 9.09, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12 and 9.16) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provision. 
 SECTION 9.02
Rights as a Lender. Any Person serving as an Agent (including as Administrative Agent) hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent
and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates
may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an
Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including
information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them. 

SECTION 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall not have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and such duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Agent (including the Administrative Agent) and an
Arranger: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred
and is continuing and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent or Arranger is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied
(or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law and instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting
parties; 
 (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent or Arranger is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required 

  
 121 








 
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any
action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent or Arranger to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the
automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law; and 
 (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as an Agent, Arranger or any of
their Affiliates in any capacity. 
 Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or
not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by the final and non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by
the Borrower or a Lender. 
 No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any recital, statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents,
(v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative
Agent, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Term Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to
impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each Arranger is named as such for
recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood
and agreed that each Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Section 10.05. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Arranger
shall not, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person. 

SECTION 9.04 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and the holder of each Term Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted
Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted
Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Term Note with any credit or
other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Term Note for any
recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing 

  
 122 








 
delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. 

SECTION 9.05 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required
Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of
any Term Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the
Required Lenders. 
 SECTION 9.06 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon,
and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. With respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Loan Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.
In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other
experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

SECTION 9.07 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Agent-Related Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Agent-Related
Persons of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 9.08 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, to the extent the
Administrative Agent or any other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent)
is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent or any other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent) in performing its duties hereunder or
under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or any other Agent-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving 

  
 123 








 
rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.08 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of
the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs)
incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower,
provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto, provided, further, that the failure of any Lender to indemnify or reimburse the
Administrative Agent shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation in respect thereof. The undertaking in this Section 9.08 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation
of the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 9.09 The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation
to make Loans under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the
term “Lender,” “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates
may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Loan
Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan
Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may
receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any
obligation to provide such information to them. 
 SECTION 9.10 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee
of any Term Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or
consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Term Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such
Term Note or of any Term Note or Term Notes issued in exchange therefor. 
 SECTION 9.11 Resignation by the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving 30 Business Days prior written notice to the Lenders and the
Borrower. If the Administrative Agent is in material breach of its obligations hereunder as Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may be removed as the Administrative Agent at the reasonable request of the Required Lenders. Such
resignation or removal shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below. 
 Upon any such notice
of resignation by, or notice of removal of, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower,
which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has
occurred and is continuing). 
 If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 30 Business Day period, the
Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with
respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders
appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. 

  
 124 








 If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing by the 35th
Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent or such notice of removal was given by the Required Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless
become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided above. The retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and 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 directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.11. 

Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder and upon the execution and filing or recording of such
financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (i) continue the
perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents or (ii) otherwise ensure that requirements of Section 6.11, 6.13 and Article XII are satisfied, 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 Loan Documents (if not
already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.11). 
 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 Loan Documents, the provisions of
this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective
Agent-Related Persons 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. 

Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent (i) shall continue to be
subject to Section 10.08 and (ii) shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Article IX (and the analogous provisions of the other Loan Documents) shall
continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 9.12 Collateral Matters. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to take the actions to be
taken by them as set forth in Article XII, in cash case subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, as applicable. 

SECTION 9.13 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Agent-Related Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Agent-Related
Persons of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

  
 125 








 SECTION 9.14 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency
of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and
all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial
proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding
is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount
due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04. 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any
portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or
more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United
States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the
Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid
on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the
liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate
such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or
vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the
Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (a) through (g) of Section 10.01 of this
Agreement, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata
portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further
action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the
acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition
vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. 

  
 126 








 SECTION 9.15 Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents. 

(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying
or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in
case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the
other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its
sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative
co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative
Agents”). 
 (b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any
Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral
shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such
Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and
be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of
such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require. 

(c) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be reasonably required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the
Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments
reasonably acceptable to it promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 9.16 Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement to
the extent contemplated by the terms hereof, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such Intercreditor Agreement is binding upon them. Each Lender (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions
of the Intercreditor Agreements, (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreements and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof and
(c) without any further consent of the Lenders, hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to negotiate, execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any intercreditor agreement or any amendment (or amendment and
restatement) to the Collateral Documents or a Customary Intercreditor Agreement to effect the provisions contemplated by clause (ii) of the definition of “Permitted Liens.” In addition, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative
Agent to enter into (i) any amendments to any Intercreditor Agreements, and (ii) any other intercreditor arrangements, in the case of clauses (i), and (ii) to the extent required to give effect to the establishment of
intercreditor rights and privileges as contemplated and required or permitted by Section 7.01 of this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that any of the Administrative Agent (or one or more of their respective Affiliates) may (but
are not obligated to) act as the “Senior Representative” or like term for the holders of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness under the security agreements with respect thereto and/or under the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
the Equal Priority 

  
 127 








 
Intercreditor Agreement or other Customary Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender waives any conflict of interest, now contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection therewith and agrees not to
assert against any Agent or any of its affiliates any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto. 

SECTION 9.17 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any
payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 3.01, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable
in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason
(including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of
withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set
off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.17. The agreements in this Section 9.17 shall survive
the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 

ARTICLE X 

Miscellaneous 

SECTION 10.01 Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders (other than with respect to any amendment or waiver
contemplated in clause (g) below (in the case of clause (g), to the extent permitted by Section 2.12), which shall only require the consent of the Required Facility Lenders under the applicable Facility or Facilities, as applicable)
(or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to acknowledge any
such waiver, consent or amendment that otherwise satisfies the requirements of this Section 10.01 as promptly as possible, however, to the extent the final form of such waiver, consent or amendment has been delivered to the Administrative Agent
at least one Business Day prior to the proposed effectiveness of the consents by the Lenders party thereto, the Administrative Agent shall acknowledge such waiver, consent or amendment (i) immediately, in the case of any amendment which does
not require the consent of any existing Lender under this Agreement or (ii) otherwise, within two hours of the time copies of the Required Lender consents or other applicable Lender consents required by this Section 10.01 have been
provided to the Administrative Agent; and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall: 

(a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a
waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.01 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender); 

(b) postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any payment of principal or interest under Section 2.05 or
2.06 (other than pursuant to Section 2.06(b)) or any payment of fees or premiums hereunder or under any Loan Document with respect to payments to any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, it being understood that the waiver of (or
amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest and it being further understood that any change to the definition of “Senior Net
Leverage Ratio,” “Secured Net Leverage Ratio,” “Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio” or “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” or, in each case, in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in any
amount of interest; 

  
 128 








 (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any
Loan, or (subject to clause (iii) of the proviso immediately succeeding clause (g) of this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender without the written consent of such
Lender, it being understood that any change to the definition of “Senior Net Leverage Ratio,” “Secured Net Leverage Ratio,” “Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio” or “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” or, in each case,
in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any
obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate; 
 (d) except as contemplated by clause (c) in the
sentence immediately after the proviso immediately succeeding clause (g) of this Section 10.01, change any provision of this Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders,” “Required Facility Lenders” or any
other provision specifying the number of Lenders or portion of the Loans or Commitments required to take any action under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; 

(e) other than in a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05, release all or substantially all of the
Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (f) other
than in a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05, release all or substantially all of the aggregate value of the Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender; 

(g) amend, waive or otherwise modify any term or provision (including the availability and conditions to funding under
Section 2.12 with respect to Incremental Term Loans and the rate of interest applicable thereto) which directly affects Lenders of one or more Incremental Term Loans and does not directly affect Lenders under any other Facility, in each case,
without the written consent of the Required Facility Lenders under such applicable Incremental Term Loans (and in the case of multiple Facilities which are affected, such Required Facility Lenders shall consent together as one Facility);
provided, however, that, to the extent permitted under Section 2.12, the waivers described in this clause (g) shall only require the consent of the Required Facility Lenders under such applicable Incremental Term Loans; 

and provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in
addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) Section 10.07(g) may not be amended, waived or
otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification; and (iii) the consent of the applicable Required Facility
Lenders shall be required with respect to any amendment that by its terms adversely affects the rights of Lenders under one or more Term Facilities (and in the case of multiple Term Facilities which are so adversely affected, such Required Facility
Lenders shall consent together as one Term Facility) in respect of payments hereunder in a manner different than such amendment affects other Term Facilities. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, 

(a) no Lender consent is required to effect any amendment or supplement to the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Equal
Priority Intercreditor Agreement or any other Customary Intercreditor Agreement (i) that is for the purpose of adding the holders of Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, Permitted Ratio Debt or any
other Permitted Indebtedness that is Secured Indebtedness (or a Senior Representative with respect thereto) as parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the terms of such Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, such Equal Priority Intercreditor
Agreement or such other Customary Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable (it being understood that any such amendment, modification or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement as, in the good faith
determination of the Administrative Agent, are 

  
 129 








 
required to effectuate the foregoing and provided, that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders) or (ii) that is expressly
contemplated by the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement (or the comparable provisions, if any, of the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or other Customary Intercreditor Agreement); provided further that no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable; 

(b) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to
share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any
determination of the Required Lenders; 
 (c) (i) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms
affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section 10.01 if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time,
(ii) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (including, without
limitation, amendments, supplements or waivers to any of the Collateral Documents, guarantees, intercreditor agreements or related documents executed by any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement if such amendment,
supplement or waiver is delivered in order to cause such Collateral Documents, guarantees, intercreditor agreements or related documents to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall
have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders
stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment; provided that the consent of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall not be required to make any such changes necessary to be made in connection with any
borrowing of Incremental Term Loans, any borrowing of Other Term Loans, any Extension or any borrowing of Replacement Loans and otherwise to effect the provisions of Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 or the immediately succeeding paragraph of this
Section 10.01, respectively, and (C) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of the other Lenders, (i) effect changes to any Mortgage as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the
Collateral Agent and (ii) effect changes to this Agreement that are necessary and appropriate to provide for the mechanics contemplated by the offering process set forth in Section 2.03(a)(iv). 

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
and the Lenders providing the Replacement Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans of any Class (“Refinanced Loans”) with replacement term loans (“Replacement Loans”)
hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Loans, plus accrued interest, fees, premiums (if any) and penalties thereon
and reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing of Refinanced Loans with such Replacement Loans, (b) the All-In Yield with respect to such Replacement Loans (or similar
interest rate spread applicable to such Replacement Loans) shall not be higher than the All-In Yield for such Refinanced Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Refinanced Loans) immediately
prior to such refinancing, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Loans at the time of such refinancing (except by virtue of
amortization or prepayment of the Refinanced Loans prior to the time of such incurrence) and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such
Replacement Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the Latest Maturity Date of the


  
 130 








 
Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing. Each amendment to this Agreement providing for Replacement Loans may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to effect the provisions of this paragraph, and for the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall
supersede any other provisions in this Section 10.01 to the contrary. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 10.01, the Guaranty, the Collateral Documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be,
together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to
comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause the Guaranty, Collateral Documents or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including by
adding additional parties as contemplated herein). 
 If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious
error (including, but not limited to, an incorrect cross-reference) or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, any exhibit, schedule or other attachment to any Loan Document), then the Administrative Agent (acting in its sole discretion) and the Borrower or any other relevant Loan Party shall be permitted to amend such
provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document. 

SECTION 10.02 Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies. 

(a) General. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as
provided in subsection (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile as follows,
and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows: 

(i) if to Holdings, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or
telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 10.02; and 
 (ii) if to any other Lender, to the address,
facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire. 
 Notices and other
communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other communications sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent
(except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices and other communications delivered through electronic
communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b). 
 (b)
Electronic Communication. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites)
pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable
of receiving notices under such Article II by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to
procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 

  
 131 








 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function,
as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt
by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. 

(d) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT
WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY,
INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH
THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons or any Arranger (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to
Holdings, the Borrower, any Lender, or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower
Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to
have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Holdings, the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for
indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). 
 (e) Change of Address.
Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by written notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address,
facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the
Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such
Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of
the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower
Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities
for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 
 (f) Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were
incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent,
each Lender and the Agent-Related Persons of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the
Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 

SECTION 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by
any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or 

  
 132 








 
partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights,
remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and
remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.09 (subject to the terms of
Section 2.11), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided,
further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.11, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and
remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. 
 SECTION 10.04 Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees
(a) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arranger for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of
the Administrative Agent and the Arranger (promptly following a written demand therefor, together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request) incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution,
delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the
consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant material
jurisdiction, and (b) upon presentation of a summary statement, together with any supporting documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole, promptly following
a written demand therefor for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs of one counsel to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders taken as a whole (and, if necessary, one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Lenders
similarly situated taken as a whole)). The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid promptly
following receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such
amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. 
 SECTION 10.05 Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agents, each Lender, the Arranger and their respective Related Persons (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (including Attorney Costs and Environmental Liability) to which any such Indemnitee may become subject arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single
local counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant jurisdiction, and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken
as a whole) any actual or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to the Transactions or to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans or the
use, or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding), and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a 

  
 133 








 
party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnified Persons as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) a material breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnified Persons as determined by a
final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) any dispute solely among Indemnitees other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an
administrative agent or arranger or any similar role under any Loan Document and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of their Affiliates (as determined by a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). To the extent that the undertakings to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.05 may be unenforceable in whole or in
part because they are violative of any applicable law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that they are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities
incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through SyndTrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection
with this Agreement (except to the extent such damages are found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross
negligence of such Indemnitee), nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in
connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date) (other than, in the case of any Loan Party, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party for which such Indemnitee is otherwise entitled
to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.05). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation,
litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within twenty (20) Business Days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall
survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. This Section 10.05 shall not apply to
Taxes, except any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund and return promptly any and all amounts paid
by the Borrower, Holdings, the Sponsor or any of their Affiliates under this Section 10.05 to such Indemnitee for any such fees, expenses or damages to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the
terms hereof. 
 SECTION 10.06 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be under any
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Loan Parties or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any
Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery,
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight
Rate from time to time in effect. 
 SECTION 10.07 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
registered assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Holdings nor the Borrower may, except as permitted by Section 7.04, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, to existing Lenders and their Affiliates) except (i) to an assignee in accordance
with the provisions of Section 10.07(b) (such an 

  
 134 








 
assignee, an “Eligible Assignee”) and (A) in the case of any Eligible Assignee that, immediately prior to or upon giving effect to such assignment, is an Affiliated Lender,
Section 10.07(h), (B) in the case of any Eligible Assignee that is Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, Section 10.07(l) or (C) in the case of any Eligible Assignee that, immediately prior to or upon giving effect to
such assignment, is a Debt Fund Affiliate, Section 10.07(k), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(d), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the
restrictions of Section 10.07(f), or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(g) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(d) and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, Indemnitees and Related Persons of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(i) Minimum Amounts. 

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section 10.07, the aggregate amount of the Commitment
or, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if
“Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with
respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of
an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether
such minimum amount has been met. 
 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned. 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by
Section 10.07(b)(i)(B) and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment determined as of the
date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date or (2) in respect of an assignment
of all or a portion of the Term Loans only, such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment of all or a portion of the Term Loans
unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice of a 

  
 135 








 
failure to respond to such request for assignment; provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment of all or a portion of the Loans pursuant
to Section 10.07(h), (k) or (l); and 
 (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent
shall be required for an assignment (i) of all or a portion of the Loans pursuant to Section 10.07(g), (h), (k) or (l), or (ii) from an Agent to its Affiliate. 

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent). Other than in the case of assignments pursuant to Section 10.07(l), the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (v) No Assignments to Certain Persons. No such assignment
shall be made (A) to Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries except as permitted under Section 2.03(a)(iv), (B) subject to Sections 10.07(h), (k) and (l) below, to any Affiliate of the Borrower,
(C) to a natural person or (D) to any Disqualified Institution. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any prospective assignee is a Disqualified Institution or have any
liability in connection therewith. 
 This Section 10.07(b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights
and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis among such Facilities. 
 Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 10.07 (and, in the case of an Affiliated Lender or a Person that, after giving effect to such assignment, would become an Affiliated
Lender, to the requirements of clause (h) of this Section 10.07), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(l), (x) the
assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective
date of such assignment), but shall in any event continue to be subject to Section 10.08. Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Term Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Term Note to the
assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(d). 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent
of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each notice of cancellation of any Loans delivered
by the Borrower pursuant to subsections (h) or (l) below, and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans and amounts
owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and, with
respect to its own Loans, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time 

  
 136 








 
upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 10.07(c) and Section 2.09 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning
of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender, nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of the Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans held by
Affiliated Lenders. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Borrower or a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 (other than clauses (d) and (g) thereof) that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this
Section 10.07, the Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 (subject to the requirements of Section 3.01 (including subsections (b), (c) and/or (d), as applicable as though it were a
Lender)), Section 3.04 and 3.05 (through the applicable Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 10.07. To the extent permitted by
applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender. 

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01,
3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent
or such entitlement to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the sale of the participation takes place. Each Lender that sells a participation shall (acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower) maintain a register complying with the requirements of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder on which is entered
the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender and the Borrower shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary; provided that no Lender shall have the obligation to disclose all or a portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of the Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that any such commitments, loans, letters of credit
or other obligations are in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 
 (f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Term Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other
central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special
purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would
otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to 

  
 137 








 
exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) such SPC and the
applicable Loan or any applicable part thereof shall be appropriately reflected in the Participant Register. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the
costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment
obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the
Lender hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion),
assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of
Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 

(h) Any Lender may at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a
Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase or take by assignment open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described
in Section 2.03(a)(iv) or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations: 

(i) Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and
will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its
Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II; 
 (ii) each Affiliated Lender that
purchases any Term Loans pursuant to clause (x) above shall represent and warrant to the selling Term Lender (other than any other Affiliated Lender) that it does not possess material non-public
information (or material information of the type that would not be public if the Borrower or any Parent Entity were a publicly-reporting company) with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that either
(1) has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders that have elected not to receive such information) or (2) if not disclosed to the Term Lenders, would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on, or
otherwise be material to (A) a Term Lender’s decision to participate in any such assignment or (B) the market price of such Term Loans, or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made; 

(iii) each Lender (other than any other Affiliated Lender) that assigns any Term Loans to an Affiliated Lender pursuant to
clause (y) above shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a customary Big Boy Letter (unless such Affiliated Lender is willing, in its sole discretion, to make the representation and warranty contemplated by the foregoing
clause (ii)); 
 (iv) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of any Class under this Agreement held by Affiliated
Lenders at the time of any such purchase or assignment shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Class outstanding at such time under this Agreement (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”);
provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans of any Class held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess
amount will be void ab initio; 
 (v) as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this subsection (h), the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have been provided a notice in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender pursuant to which such
Affiliated Lender shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Term Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such; and 

(vi) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”). 

  
 138 








 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Affiliated Lender that has
purchased Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (h) may, in its sole discretion, contribute, directly or indirectly, the principal amount of such Term Loans or any portion thereof, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower
for the purpose of cancelling and extinguishing such Term Loans. Upon the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the
Term Loans then held by the Borrower and (y) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the
cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register. 
 Each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) if
it becomes an Affiliated Lender. The Administrative Agent may conclusively rely upon any notice delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and/or pursuant to clause (v) of this subsection (h) and shall not have any liability
for any losses suffered by any Person as a result of any purported assignment to or from an Affiliated Lender. 
 (i) Notwithstanding
anything in Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders,” or “Required Facility Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders and Required Facility Lenders (in respect of a Class
of Term Loans) have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or subject to
Section 10.07(j), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake
any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, no Affiliated Lender shall have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or
refrain from taking) any such action and: 
 (i) all Term Loans held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not
outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders and Required Facility Lenders (in respect of a Class of Term Loans) have taken any actions; and 

(ii) all Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether
all Lenders have taken any action unless the action in question affects such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than its effect on other Lenders. 

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, and
each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption shall provide a confirmation that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender,
such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole
discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Term Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated
Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to
treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Term Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders. 

  
 139 








 (k) Although Debt Fund Affiliates shall be Eligible Assignees and shall not be subject to the
provisions of Section 10.07(h), (i) or (j), any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, a Debt
Fund Affiliate only through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase or take by assignment open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 2.03(a)(iv) (for the avoidance of
doubt, without requiring any representation as to the possession of material non-public information by such Affiliate) or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata
basis. Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment,
modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) directed or required
the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Term Loans held by Debt Fund Affiliates, in the aggregate, may not account for more than 49.9% of the
Term Loans of consenting Lenders included in determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any action pursuant to Section 10.01. 

(l) Any Lender may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its
rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with
procedures of the type described in Section 2.03(a)(iv) or (y) open market purchases on a non-pro rata basis; provided, that: 

(i) (x) if the assignee is Holdings or a Subsidiary of the Borrower, upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, the
applicable assignee shall automatically be deemed to have contributed or transferred the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower; or (y) if the assignee is the Borrower (including
through contribution or transfers set forth in clause (x)), (a) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to any the Borrower shall be deemed
automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (b) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of the remaining Lenders shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the
Term Loans then held by the Borrower and (c) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice,
shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register; and 
 (ii) each Person that purchases any Term
Loans pursuant to clause (x) of this subsection (l) shall represent and warrant to the selling Term Lender (other than any Affiliated Lender) that it does not possess material non-public information
(or material information of the type that would not be public if the Borrower or any Parent Entity were a publicly-reporting company) with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that either (1) has
not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders that have elected not to receive such information) or (2) if not disclosed to the Term Lenders, would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on, or otherwise be
material to (A) a Term Lender’s decision to participate in any such assignment or (B) the market price of such Term Loans, or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made. 

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (1) any
Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Term Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion
of the Loans owing to it and the Term Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee
actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be
entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise. 

  
 140 








 SECTION 10.08 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Arranger and the Lenders
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information in accordance with its customary procedures (as set forth below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners,
directors, officers, employees, legal counsel, independent auditors, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information
and instructed to keep such Information confidential, with such Affiliate being responsible for such Person’s compliance with this Section 10.08; provided, however, that such Agent, Arranger or Lender, as applicable, shall be
principally liable to the extent this Section 10.08 is violated by one or more of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective employees, directors or officers), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to
have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); provided, however, that each Agent, each Arranger and each Lender
to seek confidential treatment with respect to any such disclosure, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or otherwise as required by applicable Law or regulation or as requested by a governmental
authority; provided that such Agent, such Arranger or such Lender, as applicable, agrees (x) that it will notify the Borrower as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person (except in connection with any
request as part of any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any regulatory authority ) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation and (y) to seek confidential treatment with respect to any such
disclosure, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section 10.08, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee (or its agent) invited to be an Additional Lender or (ii) with the prior consent of the Borrower, any actual or prospective direct or indirect
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective obligations; provided that such disclosure shall be made subject to the acknowledgment and
acceptance by such prospective Lender, Participant or Eligible Assignee that such Information is being disseminated on a confidential basis (on substantially the terms set forth in this paragraph or as is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the
Borrower, the Agents and the Arranger, including, without limitation, as set forth in any confidential information memorandum or other marketing materials) in accordance with the standard syndication process of the Agents and the Arranger or market
standards for dissemination of such type of information which shall in any event require “click through” or other affirmative action on the part of the recipient to access such confidential information, (f) for purposes of
establishing a “due diligence” defense, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach by any Person of this Section 10.08 or
any other confidentiality provision in favor of any Loan Party, (y) becomes available to any Agent, any Arranger, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Holdings, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary thereof, and which source is not known by such Agent, such Lender or the applicable Affiliate to be subject to a confidentiality restriction in respect thereof in favor of Holdings, the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower or
(z) is independently developed by the Agents, the Lenders, the Arranger or their respective Affiliates, in each case, so long as not based on information obtained in a manner that would otherwise violate this Section 10.08. 

For purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary
thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Agent, any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or
any Subsidiary thereof; it being understood that all information received from Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof after the date hereof shall be deemed confidential unless such information is clearly identified at the time
of delivery as not being confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.08 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so in accordance with its customary
procedures if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

Each Agent, each Arranger, each Lender acknowledges that (a) the Information may include trade secrets, protected confidential
information, or material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of such information and
(c) it will handle such information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws and to preserve its trade secret or confidential character. 

  
 141 








 The respective obligations of the Agents, the Arranger and the Lenders under this
Section 10.08 shall survive, to the extent applicable to such Person, (x) the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, (y) any assignment of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and
(z) the resignation or removal of any Agent. 
 SECTION 10.09 Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all
of the obligations of such Loan Party then due and payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The
rights of each Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any
such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

SECTION 10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid
or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall
receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for,
charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest,
(b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 

SECTION 10.11 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it
shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of
a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging (including in .pdf format) means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

SECTION 10.12 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of
records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to
the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act. 
 SECTION 10.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties
made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or
will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 

  
 142 








 SECTION 10.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.
The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 10.15 GOVERNING LAW. 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

(b) THE BORROWER, HOLDINGS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER EACH IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS
PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY

(c) THE BORROWER, HOLDINGS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER EACH IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (b) OF
THIS SECTION 10.15. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 

SECTION 10.16 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON
CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON 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 AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION
10.16. 

  
 143 








 SECTION 10.17 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Borrower, Holdings and the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that each such Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Borrower, Holdings, each Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns. 
 SECTION 10.18 Lender Action. Each
Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of
any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other
property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provision of this Section 10.18 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to,
any Loan Party.

 ARTICLE XI 

Guaranty 

SECTION 11.01 Guaranty Subject to this Article XI, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and
unconditionally, guarantees to each Lender and to the Collateral Agent and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the
principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Term Loans shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Term Loans, if any,
if lawful, and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Term Loans
or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so
guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Term Loans or this Agreement, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Lender with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Borrower, any action to
enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event
of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any right to require a proceeding first against the Borrower, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guaranty shall not be discharged except by full payment of the obligations
contained in this Agreement. 
 Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
incurred by the Collateral Agent in enforcing any rights under this Section 11.01. 
 If any Lender or the Collateral Agent is required
by any court or otherwise to return to the Borrower, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Borrower or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Collateral Agent or such
Borrower, this Guaranty, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 Each Guarantor agrees that
it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Lenders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VIII hereof for the purposes of this Guaranty,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VIII
hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guaranty. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor so long as the
exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Lenders under the Guaranty. 
 Each Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect
and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Borrower for liquidation, reorganization, should the Borrower become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be
appointed for all or any significant part of the Borrower’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of the Term Loans are, pursuant to
applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Term Loans or Guaranty, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such
payment had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Term Loans shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and
not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 

  
 145 








 In case any provision of any Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 The Guaranty issued by any
Guarantor shall be a general secured senior obligation of such Guarantor and shall rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future First Lien Obligations of such Guarantor, if any. 

Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guaranty shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any
kind or nature. 
 SECTION 11.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor and each Lender, hereby confirms that it is
the intention of all such parties that the Guaranty of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, or similar limitation, for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer
Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guaranty. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be
limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive
contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article XI, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer, or similar limitation, under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guaranty shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Agreement to a contribution from
each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP. 

SECTION 11.03 Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guaranty set forth in Section 11.01 hereof, each Guarantor
hereby agrees that this Agreement shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by a Responsible Officer. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees
that its Guaranty set forth in Section 11.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guaranty on any Term Loan Notes. 

If required by Section 7.12 hereof, the Borrower shall cause any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 7.12
hereof and this Article XI, to the extent applicable. 
 SECTION 11.04 Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all
rights of the Lenders against the Borrower in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled
to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full. 

SECTION 11.05 Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it shall receive direct and indirect benefits from the
financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guaranty are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

SECTION 11.06 Release of Guaranty by Guarantors. Each Guaranty by a Guarantor shall provide by its terms that it shall be
automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Borrower or the Collateral Agent is required for the release of the such Guarantor’s Guaranty, upon: 

(a) (i) any sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) of (i) the Capital Stock of
such Guarantor, after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, in each case if such sale, exchange, disposition or transfer is made in compliance with the
applicable provisions of this Agreement; 

  
 146 








 (ii) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of Indebtedness
under a guarantee (other than a guarantee of the ABL Credit Agreement or the Senior Notes) that resulted in the creation of such Guaranty, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee (it being understood that a
release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guaranty is so reinstated, such Guaranty shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor would then be required to provide a Guaranty
pursuant to Section 7.12 hereof) (notwithstanding the foregoing, a Guaranty provided by a Guarantor on the Closing Date may not be released and discharged pursuant to this Section 11.06(a)(ii)); and 

(b) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable
provisions of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE XII 

Collateral Documents 

SECTION 12.01 Collateral and Collateral Documents. 

(a) The due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Term Loans when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on
an Interest Payment Date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Term Loans and performance of all other Obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors to the
Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the Term Loans, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, shall be secured as provided in the Collateral
Documents, which define the terms of the Liens that secure the Term Loans and such other Obligations, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral
Agent holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. Each Lender consents and agrees
to the terms of the Collateral Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) and the Intercreditor Agreements as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in
accordance with their terms and this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreements, and authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and to perform its obligations and exercise
its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent copies of all documents pursuant to the Collateral Documents, and shall do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably required
by the next sentence of this Section 12.01, to assure and confirm to the Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Collateral Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to
render the same available for the security and benefit of this Agreement and of the Term Loans secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. The Borrower shall, and shall cause the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower to,
use its and their commercially reasonable efforts to take any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Collateral Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien and security interest
in and on all of the Collateral (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements), in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, 

(i) the Capital Stock of the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are owned by the Borrower or any Guarantor (other
than the capital stock of the Borrower) shall constitute Collateral only to the extent that such Capital Stock can secure the Term Loans without Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (“Rule 3-16”) (or any
other law, rule or regulation) requiring separate financial statements of such Subsidiary to be filed with the SEC (or any other governmental agency); 

  
 147 








 (ii) in the event that Rule 3-16 requires or is amended, modified or
interpreted by the SEC to require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of
any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Borrower) due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s Capital Stock secure the Term Loans, then the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed not to be part of the Collateral, but only
to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement (in such event, the Collateral Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Lender, to the extent necessary to release the security interests in the shares of Capital
Stock and other securities that are so deemed to no longer constitute part of the Collateral); and 
 (iii) in the event that
either Rule 3-16 is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would permit) such Subsidiary’s Capital Stock to secure the
Term Loans in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary, then the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed to be a
part of the Collateral but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to any such financial statement requirement (in such event, the Collateral Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Lender, to the extent necessary to
subject to the Liens under the Collateral Documents such additional Capital Stock). 
 (c) In addition to the limitations described in
Section 12.01(b), the Collateral shall not include (i) property or assets as to which the Collateral Agent has notified any Guarantor in writing that it has reasonably determined that the costs of obtaining a security interest are
excessive in relation to the value of the security to be afforded thereby and (ii) the Excluded Assets. 
 (d) In the case of any
Foreign Subsidiary, the Collateral shall be limited to 100% of the non-voting Capital Stock and 65% of the voting Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiaries. 

(e) Each Lender (i) consents to the subordination of Liens provided for in the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) agrees
that it shall be bound by, and shall take no actions contrary to, the provisions of the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12.01(e) are intended as an inducement to the holders of Indenture
Noteholder Lien Obligations to acquire the Term Loans and such Lenders are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions and of the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement. 

(f) In addition, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to obtain any landlord waivers, estoppels or collateral access
letters and shall not be required to (i) take actions to perfect by control, other than stock pledges and control agreements relating to ABL Collateral, promissory notes, letter of credit rights and commercial tort claims, in each case not
exceeding of $5,000,000 or (ii) take any actions under any laws outside of the United States to grant, perfect or enforce any security interest. 

SECTION 12.02 [Reserved] 

SECTION 12.03 Release of Collateral. 

(a) Subject to Sections 12.03(b) and 12.04 hereof, Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the
Collateral Documents at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements or as provided hereby. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall be entitled to a release of property and
other assets included in the Collateral from the Liens securing the Term Loans, and the Collateral Agent shall release, or instruct the Notes Collateral Agent to release, as applicable, the same from such Liens at the Borrower’s sole cost and
expense, under one or more of the following circumstances: 
 (i) to enable the Borrower or any Guarantor to sell, exchange
or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral to the extent not prohibited under Section 7.05 hereof; 

  
 148 








 (ii) in the case of a Guarantor that is released from its Guaranty with respect
to all of the Obligations, the release of the property and assets of such Guarantor; 
 (iii) to the extent property is
subject to a lease, upon termination of the lease; 
 (iv) pursuant to an amendment or waiver in accordance with
Article X hereof; 
 (v) if all of the Term Loans have been satisfied and discharged pursuant to Article X hereof; or

 (vi) upon payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Term Loans and all
other Obligations related thereto under this Agreement, the Guaranty and the Collateral Documents with respect thereto, that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest are paid. 

(b) Subject to the provisions contained in the Intercreditor Agreements, in general the second-priority lien on the ABL Collateral securing
the Term Loans shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination and repayment in full of the ABL Credit Agreement and the release by the ABL Agent of the first-priority liens on the ABL Collateral. The second-priority lien on
the ABL Collateral securing the Term Loans shall terminate and be released automatically if the first-priority liens on the ABL Collateral are released by the ABL Agent (unless, at the time of such release of such first-priority liens, an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Agreement). Notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default, the second-priority lien on the ABL Collateral securing the Senior Notes shall also terminate and be released automatically to
the extent the first-priority liens on the ABL Collateral are released by the ABL Agent in connection with a sale, transfer or disposition of ABL Collateral that is either not prohibited under this Agreement or occurs in connection with the
foreclosure of, or other exercise of remedies with respect to, such ABL Collateral by the ABL Agent (except with respect to any proceeds of such sale, transfer or disposition that remain after satisfaction in full of the obligations under the ABL
Credit Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a release of liens by the ABL Agent on all or substantially all of the ABL Collateral (other than in connection with a foreclosure upon or other exercise of rights and remedies by the
ABL Agent with respect to such ABL Collateral), no release of the second-priority liens on the ABL Collateral securing the Term Loans shall be made unless (i) consent to such release has been given by the requisite percentage or number of the
holders of the Lenders at the time outstanding, in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof, as provided for in this Agreement or the Collateral Documents and (ii) the Borrower has delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Collateral
Agent certifying that all such consents have been obtained. The second priority Liens in the ABL Collateral securing the Term Loans that otherwise would have been released pursuant to the second sentence of this clause (b) but for the
occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default shall be released when such Event of Default and all other Events of Default under this Agreement cease to exist. 

(c) Upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, if any, to such release have been met and
any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall, or shall cause the Collateral Agent, to execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Borrower’s expense) such
instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Agreement or the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be
liable for any such release executed in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 SECTION 12.04 Permitted Releases Not To Impair
Lien. Any release of Collateral permitted by Section 12.03 hereof shall be deemed not to impair the Liens under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents in contravention thereof. 

SECTION 12.05 [Reserved]. 

SECTION 12.06 Suits To Protect the Collateral. 

  
 149 








 Subject to the provisions of Article VIII hereof and the Intercreditor Agreements, the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Lenders, on behalf of the Lenders, may direct the Collateral Agent to take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to: 

(a) enforce any of the terms of the Collateral Documents; and 

(b) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations hereunder. 

(c) Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Administrative Agent shall have power to
institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Collateral Documents or this Agreement, and such suits and
proceedings as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Lenders in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain
the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Lien on
the Collateral or be prejudicial to the interests of the Lenders or the Collateral Agent). Nothing in this Section 12.06 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 12.07 Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent Under the Collateral Documents. 

Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Administrative Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the
Lenders distributed under the Collateral Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Lenders according to the provisions of this Agreement. 

SECTION 12.08 Purchaser Protected. 

In no event shall any purchaser in good faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the
Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given
by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article XII to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Borrower or the
applicable Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer. 
 SECTION 12.09 Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Administrative
Agent. 
 In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this
Article XII upon the Borrower or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the
equivalent of any similar instrument of the Borrower or a Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article XII; and if the Administrative Agent shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any
provision of this Agreement, then such powers may be exercised by the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 12.10 Release Upon
Termination of the Borrower’s Obligations. 
 In the event that the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent, in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to it, an certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that (i) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Term Loans and all other Obligations under this
Agreement and the Collateral Documents with respect thereto, that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid or (ii) the Borrower shall have exercised its satisfaction and
discharge option, in compliance with the provisions of Article X hereof, in each case with respect to all of the Term Loans, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent a notice stating that the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the 

  
 150 








 
Collateral, and any rights it has under the Collateral Documents, and upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such notice, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the
Collateral on behalf of the Administrative Agent and shall do or cause to be done all acts reasonably necessary at the Borrower’s cost to release such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable. 

SECTION 12.11 Collateral Agent. 

(a) The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Agreement,
the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the
Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 12.11 are solely for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent and none of the Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders, the Borrower nor any of the
Guarantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein other than as expressly provided in Section 12.03. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the
Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or any Guarantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements or otherwise exist against the
Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except
as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions
which the Collateral Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, including the exercise of remedies pursuant to Article VIII, and any action so taken or not taken
shall be deemed consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. 
 (b) None of the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates shall
(i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection
with any Collateral Document or the Intercreditor Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Borrower or any Guarantor, or any officer or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, contained in this or any Agreement, or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or for any failure of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party to this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor
Agreements to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements or to inspect the properties, books, or records of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Guarantor’s
Affiliates. 
 (c) The Collateral Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits
from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with the Borrower, any Guarantor and their Affiliates as though it was not the Collateral Agent hereunder and
without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Collateral Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, any Guarantor or
its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower, any such Guarantor or such Affiliate) and 

  
 151 








 
acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Nothing herein shall impose or imply any obligation
on the part of the Collateral Agent to advance funds. 
 (d) The Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the
Collateral Documents, (ii) enter into the Intercreditor Agreements, (iii) bind the Lenders on the terms as set forth in the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and (iv) perform and observe its obligations under the
Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. 
 (e) The Administrative Agent agrees that it shall not (and shall not be obliged
to), and shall not instruct the Collateral Agent to, unless specifically requested to do so by the Required Lenders, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or against the Borrower or any Guarantor, including
the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral. 

If at any time or times the Administrative Agent shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of
Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Agreement, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Administrative Agent from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII, the Administrative Agent shall promptly turn the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind,
and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent. 
 (f) The Administrative Agent is each
Lender’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code can be perfected only by possession. Should the Administrative Agent obtain
possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral
Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. 
 (g) The Collateral Agent shall
have no obligation whatsoever to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or any Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral
Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Borrower or any Guarantor’s property
constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof
or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to
this Agreement, any Collateral Document or the Intercreditor Agreements, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem
appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral and that the Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Administrative Agent or any Lender as to any of the foregoing.

 (h) No provision of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreements or any Collateral Document shall require the Collateral Agent (or the
Administrative Agent) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the
request or direction of Lenders (or the Administrative Agent in the case of the Collateral Agent) if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds is not assured to it. 

(i) The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to
be authorized or within its rights or powers, or for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Collateral Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts, (ii) shall not be
liable for interest on any money received by it except as the 

  
 152 








 
Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Borrower (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law),
(iii) the Collateral Agent may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted
or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act. 

(j) Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond
its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures,
earthquakes or other disasters. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall be liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the
likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action. 
 SECTION 12.12 Designations. 

Except as provided in the next sentence, for purposes of the provisions hereof and the Intercreditor Agreements requiring the Borrower to
designate Indebtedness for the purposes of the term “Additional Noteholder Lien Debt Facility” or any other such designations hereunder or under the Intercreditor Agreements, any such designation shall be sufficient if the relevant
designation is set forth in writing, signed on behalf of the Borrower by a Responsible Officer and delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the ABL Agent. 

SECTION 12.13 Additional Collateral. 

(a) (i) Subject to the limitations set forth or referenced in this Section 12.13, applicable law and any exceptions set forth in the
Security Agreement, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor will cause the issued and outstanding Capital Stock (other than Excluded Capital Stock) of each Subsidiary directly owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to be subject at all
times to a first priority (subject to the Intercreditor Agreements and to other Permitted Liens), perfected Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents. 

(ii) Subject to the limitations set forth or referenced in this Section 12.13, applicable law and any exceptions set forth
in the Security Agreement, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor will cause, except with respect to intercompany Indebtedness, all evidences of Indebtedness for borrowed money in a principal amount in excess of $2,500,000 (individually) that is
owing to the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note and pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement and accompanied by instruments of transfer with respect thereto
endorsed in blank. 
 (iii) Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that all Indebtedness of Holdings, the
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries that is owing to the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be evidenced by the Intercompany Note, which promissory note shall be required to be pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent under the
Security Agreement and accompanied by instruments of transfer with respect thereto endorsed in blank. 
 (b) In furtherance of
Section 6.13, but subject to the limitations set forth or referenced in this Section 12.13, applicable law and any exceptions set forth in the Security Agreement, and without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower and each Subsidiary
Guarantor will execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents, agreements and instruments, and will take or cause to be taken such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages,
deeds of trust and other documents and such other actions or deliveries, as applicable (including the delivery of the Real Property Collateral Requirements), which may be required by law or which the Collateral Agent may, from time to time,
reasonably request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents and to ensure perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents, all at the expense of the
Borrower and the Guarantors, provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to grant any security interest or take any action to perfect any security interest under the law of any jurisdiction outside the
United States of America. 

  
 153 








 (c) Subject to the limitations set forth or referred to in this Section 12.13, applicable
law and any exceptions set forth in the Security Agreement, if any material assets (including any real property or improvements thereto or any interest therein) are acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor after the Closing Date (other
than assets constituting Collateral under the Security Agreement that become subject to the Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent upon acquisition thereof), the Borrower will, as soon as reasonably practicable, notify the Collateral Agent thereof,
and, if requested by the Collateral Agent, the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations and will take such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral
Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph (b) of this Section 12.13, all at the expense of the Borrower and the Guarantors. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, real property required to be mortgaged under the Collateral
Documents (i) shall exclude the Miami, Florida and Simi Valley, California real estate and (ii) shall be limited to real property located in the United States of America that is owned in fee by the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor, the
cost or book value of which (whichever is greater) at the time of the acquisition thereof (or, in the case of real property owned on the Closing Date), the cost or book value of which (whichever is greater) on the Closing Date is $2,500,000 or more
(provided that the cost of perfecting such Lien is not unreasonable in relation to the benefits to the Lenders of the security afforded thereby in the reasonable determination of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent). 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not be required to include as
Collateral any Excluded Assets.
