 -2- 








 In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower determine that any Borrowing

 Section 1.04. Pro Forma Calculations. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, financial ratios and tests (including the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Credit Facility Secured Leverage Ratio) pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.04. For purposes of this Agreement,
whenever a financial ratio or test is to be calculated on a pro forma basis, the reference to the “Test Period” for purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test shall be deemed to be a reference, and shall be based on, to the
“most recently ended Test Period for which internal financial statements of the Parent Borrower are available (as determined in good faith by the Parent Borrower)”. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the foregoing sentence shall
not apply for purposes of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for purposes of Section 7.10, which shall be based on the most recently ended Test Period for which financial statements have been (or were required to be) delivered pursuant
to Section 6.01(a) or (b), as applicable, for the relevant period. 
 (b) In the event that the Parent Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary incurs, assumes, guarantees, redeems, repays, retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under this Agreement (other than in respect of any test based on a calculation of Excess
Availability) or any other revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and has not been replaced) subsequent to the end of the Test Period for which such financial ratio or test is being calculated but prior to or
simultaneously with the event for which such calculation is being made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment of
Indebtedness, as if the same had occurred on (i) the last day of the applicable Test Period in the case of the Total Leverage Ratio, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and the Credit Facility Secured Leverage Ratio and (ii) the first day of
the applicable Test Period in the case of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. 
 (c) For purposes of calculating any financial
ratio or test or covenant, Specified Transactions that have been made by the Parent Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries during the applicable Test Period or subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for
which such calculation is being made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and the change in Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period (or
such other period as specified therein). If since the beginning of any such Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.04, then any applicable financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma
effect thereto for such period as if such Specified Transaction occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period. 

(d) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith
by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Parent Borrower (including the “run-rate” cost savings and synergies resulting from such Specified Transaction that have been or are expected to be realized (“run-rate”
means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken or 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 included in the initial pro forma calculations shall continue to apply to subsequent calculations of such financial ratios
or tests, including during any subsequent Test Periods in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized); provided, that, (i) such amounts are reasonably identifiable, and factually supportable, are projected by the Parent
Borrower in good faith to result from actions either taken or expected to be taken within 12 months after the end of such Test Period in which such Specified Transaction occurred and, in each case, certified by the chief financial officer, chief
accounting officer or treasurer (or other equivalent officer) of the Parent Borrower, (ii) no amounts shall be added pursuant to this clause (d) to the extent 

  
 -46- 








 
duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA for such Test Period and (iii) any increase to Consolidated EBITDA as a result of cost savings and
synergies shall be subject to the limitations set forth in clauses (b)(vi)(c) and (b)(xi) of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in this Section 1.04(d) and in clauses (b)(vi)(c) and (b)(xi) of the
definition of Consolidated EBITDA, any increase to Consolidated EBITDA pursuant to such provisions as a result of cost savings and synergies in connection with any Investments made under Section 7.02(w) shall not be subject to the EBITDA Cap
set forth in clauses (b)(vi)(c) and (b)(xi) of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA and shall be included in the determination of Consolidated EBITDA prior to calculating and giving effect to the EBITDA Cap, solely to the extent reflecting
(A) the removal of corporate allocations and charge-backs included in carve-out financial statements of the acquired businesses and removal of amounts paid under any transition services agreements with respect to the acquired businesses, net of
(B) the addition of anticipated standalone costs upon integration of the acquired businesses into the operations of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (such adjustments, the “Specified Adjustments”);
provided, that any increase to Consolidated EBITDA other than the Specified Adjustments, including as a result of cost savings and synergies relating to operational improvements and other non-ordinary course actions specifically taken or to
be taken in order to achieve cost savings and synergies beyond the integration of the acquired businesses into the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, shall remain subject to the EBITDA Cap as otherwise contemplated by this
Section 1.04(d). 
 Section 1.05. Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Parent Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than
the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number). 

Section 1.06. References To Agreements And Laws. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) references to
Organization Documents, agreements (including the Loan Documents) and other contractual instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications thereto, but only to the extent
that such amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications not prohibited by any Loan Document; and (b) references to any Law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing,
supplementing or interpreting such Law. 
 Section 1.07. Times Of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein
to times of day shall be references to New York time (daylight or standard, as applicable). 
 Section 1.08. Timing Of Payment Or
Performance. When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the
definition of Interest Period) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 

ARTICLE 2 
 THE COMMITMENTS AND
CREDIT EXTENSIONS 
 Section 2.01. The Revolving Credit Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
each Lender severally agrees to make loans in US Dollars to the Borrowers (each such loan, a “Revolving Credit Loan”) from time to time, on any Business Day during the Commitment Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any
time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Revolving Credit Borrowing, (i) such Lender’s Revolving Exposure shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment and (ii) the
aggregate Revolving Exposure of all Lenders at such time shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Commitments at such time and (y) the Borrowing Base at such time (such lesser amount, the “Line Cap”). Within the
limits of each Lender’s Commitment and the Line Cap, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof (including the Administrative Agent’s authority, in its sole discretion, to make Protective Advances pursuant to the terms of
Section 2.17), the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar


  
 -47- 








 
Rate Loans, as further provided herein; provided that all Revolving Credit Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided
herein, consist entirely of Revolving Credit Loans of the same Type made to the Borrowers. 
 Section 2.02. Borrowings,
Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 
 (a) Each Revolving Credit Borrowing, each conversion of Revolving Credit
Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’s (or other applicable Borrower’s) irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.
Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (i) not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or any
conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) not later than 11:00 a.m. on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Parent Borrower (or other applicable 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 Parent Borrower (or such other applicable Borrower). Each
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c)(i) and Section 2.04(c), each
Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the relevant
Borrower(s) are requesting a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a conversion of Revolving Credit 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 Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, (v) if
applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, (vi) the account(s) of the applicable Borrower(s) to be credited with the proceeds of such Borrowing and (vii) the Excess Availability after giving effect to such
Borrowing and calculated based upon the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and as modified by any Reserves established or modified by the Administrative Agent prior to
the date of such Committed Loan Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.18. If the Parent Borrower (or other applicable Borrower) fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a
conversion or continuation, then the applicable Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base 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 Parent Borrower (or other applicable 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 Appropriate Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of Loans of the applicable Class, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Parent
Borrower (or other applicable Borrower), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation 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 immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed
Loan Notice (or, in the case of a request for any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, if the Administrative Agent shall have received such Committed Loan Notice on the requested date of such Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m. on such Business Day). Upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 4, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower(s) in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds
in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower (or other applicable Borrower); provided that Protective Advances shall be retained by the Administrative Agent to be applied as contemplated by
Section 2.17. 

  
 -48- 








 (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 Borrowers pay the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders may require that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 (d) The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Appropriate 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 that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders of any change in the
Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the determination of such change. 

(e) After giving effect to all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the
other, and all continuations of Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than fifteen (15) Interest Periods in effect. 

(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. 

Section 2.03. Letters Of Credit. 

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. 

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of
the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the
account of any Borrower (or any Restricted Subsidiary so long as a Borrower is a joint and several co-applicant, and references to the “Borrower” in this Section 2.03 shall be deemed to include reference to such Restricted Subsidiary)
and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued
for the account of any Borrower; provided that the L/C Issuer shall not be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit if, as of the
date of such L/C Credit Extension, (x) such Lender’s Revolving Exposure at such time would exceed such Lender’s Commitment, (y) the aggregate Revolving Exposure of all Lenders at such time would exceed the Line Cap or
(z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully
revolving, and accordingly each Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 

(ii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if 

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain
the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or
request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement
(for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which, in each case, the
L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 

  
 -49- 








 (B) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested
Letter of Credit, prior to giving effect to any automatic renewal, would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; 

(C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the
Lenders have approved such expiry date; 
 (D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Laws or one or more
policies of the L/C Issuer; or 
 (E) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements
reasonably satisfactory to it and the Parent Borrower to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by all such Defaulting Lenders, including by Cash Collateralizing, or obtaining a backstop letter of
credit from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer to support, each such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Unreimbursed Amount. 

(iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no
obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. 

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Parent Borrower (or other
applicable Borrower) delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower (or other applicable
Borrower). Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be,
or such later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail
reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such
other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer:
(A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably request.

 (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Parent Borrower (or other applicable Borrower) and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy
thereof. Upon receipt by the L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof (such confirmation to be promptly provided by the Administrative Agent),
then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the 

  
 -50- 








 
account of the applicable Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer an unfunded risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 

(iii) If the Parent Borrower (or other applicable Borrower) so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C
Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must
permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the
“Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Parent Borrower (or other applicable Borrower) shall not be
required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such
Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at
such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(i), Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in
writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or any Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied. 

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with
respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Parent Borrower (or other applicable Borrower) and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C
Issuer shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 3:30 p.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrowers shall
reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing; provided that if such notice is not provided to the Parent Borrower prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Honor Date, then the Borrowers shall
reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing fees in respect of any such Letter of Credit.
If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of
such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard
to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02(a) for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than
the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of a prompt
confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
 (ii) Each Lender (including the Lender
acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of 

  
 -51- 








 
the L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in
such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer. 
 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount
that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C
Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each
Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such
Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03. 
 (iv) Until each Lender funds its
Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the
account of the L/C Issuer. 
 (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse
the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether
or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the
Parent Borrower (or other applicable Borrower) of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C
Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Lender fails to make available
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be
entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C
Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 

(i) If, at any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such
Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether
directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of
interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 

  
 -52- 








 (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the
L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per
annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. 
 (e) Obligations Absolute. The
obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued for its account and to repay each L/C Borrowing relating to any Letter of Credit issued for its account shall be joint and several, absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument
relating thereto; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower or
applicable Restricted Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether
in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; 

(iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not
strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; 

(v) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure
from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of any other Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit; or 

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any other Borrower; 
 provided that the foregoing shall not
excuse the L/C Issuer from liability to the applicable Borrower(s) to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered
by such Borrower(s) that are caused by the L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The applicable Borrower shall
promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit issued for its account and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower
will promptly notify the L/C Issuer. Such Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the
L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or 

  
 -53- 








 
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person nor any of
the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as
applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or
Letter of Credit Application. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not,
preclude such Borrower pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at Law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents,
participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(e); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary
notwithstanding, each applicable Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by
such Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the
beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in
order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting
to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or
partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 to a Revolving Credit Borrowing cannot then be met, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrowers shall promptly Cash Collateralize (x) in the case of clause (i), 100% and (y) in the case of clause (ii), 105%, in
each case of the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (such Outstanding Amount to be determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as the case may be) or, in the case of clause (ii), provide a
back to back letter of credit in a face amount at least equal to 105% of the then undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit from an issuer and in form and substance satisfactory to the L/C Issuer in its sole discretion. Any Letter of Credit that is so
Cash Collateralized or in respect of which such a back-to-back letter of credit shall have been issued shall be deemed no longer outstanding for purposes of this Agreement. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in deposit accounts designated by the
Administrative Agent and which is under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than
the Administrative Agent or claims of the depositary bank arising by operation of law or that the total amount of such funds is less than the amount required by the first sentence of this clause (g), the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by the
Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the deposit accounts designated by the Administrative Agent as aforesaid, an amount equal to the excess of (x) 100% or 105%, as applicable,
of such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit
for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds 100% or 105%, as applicable, of the
then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the Parent Borrower. 

(h) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the applicable Borrower when
a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version


  
 -54- 








 
thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits , as most
recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. 

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in
accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued equal to the Applicable Rate for Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans times the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit. Such letter of credit fees shall be computed from the date of issuance thereof on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and on the later of (i) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and (ii) the day that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving
Maturity Date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day). 
 (j) Fronting Fee and
Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued equal to a percentage per annum to be agreed upon (but
not to exceed 0.125% per annum) of the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fronting fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrowers shall
pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such
customary fees not related to the fronting fee and standard costs and charges are due and payable within five (5) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable. 

(k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of
any Letter of Credit Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 
 (l) Existing Letters of Credit. All
Existing Letters of Credit outstanding under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement on the Closing Date shall remain outstanding hereunder on the terms set forth herein. Upon the Closing Date, the aggregate amount of participations in the Existing Letters
of Credit held by the lenders under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement on the Closing Date shall automatically and without further action be reallocated to the Lenders in accordance with each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share. For the avoidance of
doubt, the participations in the Existing Letters of Credit held by Bank of America, N.A. under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement on the Closing Date shall be reallocated to Blue Ridge Investments, L.L.C. in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence. For the purpose of the fees described in this Section 2.03, such fees shall be payable (in substitution for any fees set forth in the applicable letter of credit reimbursement agreements or applications relating to such Existing
Letters of Credit) as if such Existing Letters of Credit had been issued on the Closing Date. The issuer of each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an L/C Issuer hereunder for the purpose of maintaining such Existing Letters of Credit.
The Existing Letters of Credit shall be included in the calculation of L/C Obligations, and all liabilities of the Borrowers with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral. 

Section 2.04. Swing Line Loans. 

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the sole discretion of the Swing Line
Lender, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day (other than the Closing Date) during the Commitment Period in an aggregate amount not to
exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing
Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided that after giving 

  
 -55- 








 
effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) no other Lender’s Revolving Exposure at such time shall exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (ii) the aggregate Revolving Exposure of all
Lenders at such time shall not exceed the Line Cap; provided further that the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the
other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a
Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender an unfunded risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share and the amount of such Swing Line Loan. 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be
made upon the Parent Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than
1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) the account(s) of the applicable
Borrower(s) to be credited with the proceeds of such Swing Line Borrowing and (iv) the Excess Availability after giving effect to such Swing Line Borrowing and calculated based upon the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and as modified by any Reserves established or modified by the Administrative Agent prior to the date of such Committed Loan Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.18. Each
such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower. Promptly
after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan
Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent
(including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of such proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to
the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than
3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the applicable Borrower(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.04 or elsewhere in
this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan at a time when a Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Parent Borrower
to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ participation in such Swing Line Loans, including by Cash Collateralizing, or obtaining a backstop letter of credit from an
issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender to support, such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans. 

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may, and
shall, not less than weekly when any Swing Line Loan is outstanding, request, on behalf of the Borrowers (each of which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an
amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Each such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in
accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02(a), without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Parent Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an
amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not
later 

  
 -56- 








 
than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base
Rate Loan to the Parent Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender. 

(i) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with
Section 2.04(c), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in such Swing Line Loan and
each such Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 

(ii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount
required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the
Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (ii) shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. 
 (iii) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in
Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have
against the Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Parent Borrower of a Committed Loan
Notice). No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 

(d) Repayment of Participations. At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing
Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender. 

(i) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to
be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its
Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make
such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. 
 (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing
Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. 

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect
of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender. 

  
 -57- 








 Section 2.05. Prepayments. 

(a) Optional. 

(i) The Borrowers may, upon notice from the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time
voluntarily prepay Loans made to the Borrowers, in each case, in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided, that (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., (1) three (3) Business
Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any 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; and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, 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 of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Parent Borrower, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on
the date specified therein. 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. Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.05(a) shall be applied as the Parent Borrower may direct in its sole discretion. Each prepayment of the Loans shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of (and promptly disbursed to) the Appropriate Lenders in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
 (ii) The Borrowers may, upon notice from the Parent Borrower to the
Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided, that (A) such notice must be received by the
Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such
prepayment. If such notice is given by the Parent Borrower, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Parent Borrower may rescind any notice of
prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) or Section 2.05(a)(ii) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Loans and/or Commitments, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be
delayed. 
 (b) Mandatory. 

(i) Except for Protective Advances permitted under Section 2.17, if for any reason and for any day that the Total
Outstandings at any time exceeds the Line Cap at such time, the Borrowers shall prepay no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time on the next succeeding Business Day the Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving
Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans the Total Outstandings at such time exceeds the Line Cap at such time; provided, further, that if the circumstances described in this Section 2.05(b)(i) are the result of the imposition of or
increase in a Reserve, the Borrowers shall not be required to make the initial prepayment or deposit until the third Business Day following the date on which the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower of its intent to impose or increase
such Reserve. 

  
 -58- 








 (ii) At all times after the occurrence and during a Cash Dominion Period and
notification thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower (subject to the provisions of Sections 6.16 and 8.03), on each Business Day, at or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, the Administrative Agent shall apply all immediately
available funds credited to the Collection Account or otherwise received by Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations, first to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other
amounts (including Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article 3, but not including principal of or interest on any Loan) payable to the Administrative Agent, second to the payment in full of the Unfunded
Advances/Participations (the amounts so applied to be distributed between or among the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and any L/C Issuer pro rata in accordance with the amounts of Unfunded Advances/Participations owed to them on such
date), third to payment of all other Obligations then due and payable; and fourth, as the Parent Borrower may direct. The Borrowers hereby consent to such application. 

(iii) Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be made together with, in the case of any
such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date other than 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 2.05(b), 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 2.05(b), other than on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, the Parent Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder 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 Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05(b). 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 Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the
outstanding Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05(b). 
 Section 2.06. Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

 (a) Optional. The Parent Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused
Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days prior to the date of
termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount (A) of $500,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or (B) equal to the entire remaining amount of the Commitments of any Class,
(iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit, as the case may be, exceeds the amount of the Commitments, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount
of such excess, and (iv) the Parent Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Loans under Section 2.05, the aggregate Revolving Exposure of all Lenders would exceed the
Aggregate Commitments. The amount of any such Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Parent Borrower or as required by the preceding sentence.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Loans and Commitments, which refinancing shall not be
consummated or otherwise shall be delayed. 
 (b) Mandatory. The Commitment of each Lender shall be automatically and
permanently reduced to $0 on the Maturity Date. 
 (c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swing Line Sublimit or the unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 2.06. Upon
any reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender 

  
 -59- 








 
of such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in
Section 3.07). All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments of any Class shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders on the effective date of such termination. 

Section 2.07. Repayment of Loans. 

(a) Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, repay to the Administrative Agent for the
ratable account of the applicable Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all of its Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date. 

(b) Swing Line Loans. The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, repay to the Administrative Agent the aggregate
principal amount of all Swing Line Loans on the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. 
 (c)
Protective Advances. The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, repay to the Administrative Agent the aggregate principal amount of all Protective Advances on the earliest of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) within three Business Days
following receipt of written demand therefor by the Administrative Agent and (iii) 45 days (or such longer period as may be consented to by the Required Lenders) after such Protective Advance was made; provided that on each date that a
Revolving Credit Loan is made while any Protective Advance is outstanding, the Borrowers shall repay all Protective Advances with the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan then outstanding. 

Section 2.08. Interest. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(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; (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; (iii) each Swing Line 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 for Revolving Credit Loans; and (iv) each Protective Advance 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 for Revolving Credit Loans. 
 (b) While any Event of Default set forth in
Section 8.01(a) exists, the Borrowers shall pay interest on all overdue 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 2.09. Fees. In
addition to certain fees described in Section 2.03(i) and Section 2.03(j): 
 (a) Commitment Fees. The
Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee (each, a “Commitment Fee” and, collectively, the “Commitment Fees”) equal to the
Applicable Rate for Commitment Fees times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. The Commitment
Fees shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article 4 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of
each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur 

  
 -60- 








 
after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date. The Commitment Fees shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual
daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. 

(b) Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid 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. 

Section 2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is
determined by the Administrative Agent’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) or three hundred and sixty-six (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 three hundred and sixty (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 three
hundred and sixty-five (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 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) 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. 
 Section 2.11. Evidence of Indebtedness. 

(a) The Credit Extensions made 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 as a non-fiduciary agent solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrowers, in each case in the
ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by each Lender and the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to
the Borrowers 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 Borrowers 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 Register in respect of such matters, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the
Administrative Agent, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a 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 Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. Each Borrower and each Lender agrees from time to time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or Section 8.01(g)(i) to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such Notes or other promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent
shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Lenders after giving effect to any exchange of Lenders’ interests pursuant to arrangements relating thereto among the Lenders, and each Lender
agrees to surrender any Notes or other promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any Notes or other promissory notes so executed and delivered. 

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall
maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans.
In the event of any conflict between the Register and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error. 

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and
Section 2.11(b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and Section 2.11(b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest 

  
 -61- 








 
due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers 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 Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 2.12. Payments
Generally. 
 (a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any
counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed,
at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each 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. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 4:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day
in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue to the extent applicable. 

(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day in relation to the Borrowers,
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; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar
Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 

(c) Unless the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Co-Borrowers) or any Lender has notified the
Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Co-Borrowers) or such Lender, as the case may be, will not
make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Co-Borrowers) 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 immediately available funds, then: 

(i) if the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Co-Borrowers) 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 immediately available 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 immediately available funds at the applicable Federal Funds 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 immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Borrower(s) to the date such amount is recovered by the
Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds 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 may make a demand therefor upon the Parent Borrower or any relevant Borrower(s), and the Borrowers shall pay such amount to the
Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest 

  
 -62- 








 
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 Parent 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, the Parent Borrower or any other relevant Borrower(s) with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(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 2, and such funds are not made available to the Parent Borrower or any other Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article 4 are not satisfied
or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly 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 and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans
are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation 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 or purchase its participation. 
 (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. 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 of the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the
outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender. 
 Section 2.13. Sharing Of Payments. If, (other than
(x) 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 or (y) as otherwise expressly provided elsewhere herein) any Lender shall obtain on
account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations, in Swing Line Loans or in Protective Advances held by it, any payment (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 made by them and/or
such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans or Protective Advances held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or
such participations, as the case may be, 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. Each of the Borrowers agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to
the fullest extent permitted by Law, 

  
 -63- 








 
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
such Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case
notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 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 2.14. Incremental Commitment Increase. 

(a) At any time or from time to time on or after the 30th day following
the Closing Date, the Parent Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request, prior to the Maturity Date, one or more increases to the existing Commitments (any such increase, the “Incremental
Commitments”), by (i) an amount not in excess of $50,000,000 and (ii) not less than $5,000,000 individually (or, such lesser amount which shall be approved by Administrative Agent or such lesser amount that shall constitute the
difference between $50,000,000 and all such Incremental Commitments obtained prior to such date), and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount. Each such notice shall specify (A) the date (each, an “Increased Amount
Date”) on which the Parent Borrower proposes that the Incremental Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 5 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, (or such
shorter period as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, an “Incremental Lender”) to whom the Parent Borrower proposes
any portion of such Incremental Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that prior to offering such Incremental Commitments to any other Person that is an Eligible Assignee, the Parent Borrower shall first offer
such Incremental Commitments to each Lender, and such Lender may increase its Commitments by its Pro Rata Share of the proposed increase amount; provided, further, that each Lender may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to
provide all or a portion of such Incremental Commitment (it being understood that any existing Lender that has not accepted or declined such offer within 5 Business Days shall be deemed to have declined such offer). Such Incremental Commitments
shall become effective, as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (1) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments; (2) after giving effect to the
effectiveness of Incremental Commitments, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied; (3) the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio shall be no greater than 3.50 to 1.0 as of the end of the Test Period most recently ended,
in each case, giving Pro Forma Effect to such Incremental Commitments (and with respect to any Incremental Commitment, assuming a borrowing of the maximum amount of Loans available under such Incremental Commitment and any Incremental Commitments
previously made pursuant to this Section 2.14), as applicable; (4) the Incremental Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrowers, the Incremental Lenders, and the
Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register, and each Incremental Lender shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 10.15; (5) the Borrowers shall make any payments required pursuant to
Section 3.05 in connection with the Incremental Commitments, if applicable; and (6) the Parent Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in
connection with any such transaction. 
 (b) On any Increased Amount Date, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms
and conditions, (i) each of the Lenders shall assign to each of the Incremental Lenders, and each of the Incremental Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans
outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans will be held by existing Lenders and Incremental Lenders ratably in accordance with
their Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Commitments to the Commitments, (ii) each Incremental Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all
purposes, a Revolving Credit Loan and (iii) each Incremental Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Incremental Commitment and all matters relating thereto. The Administrative Agent 

  
 -64- 








 
and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing and prepayment requirements in Section 2.02 and 2.05(a) of this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence. 
 (c) [Reserved]. 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Parent Borrower’s notice of each
Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (y) the Incremental Commitments and (z) the respective interests in such Lender’s Commitments, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by clause (b) of this
Section 2.14. 
 (e) The terms and provisions (including interest rate) of the Incremental Commitments shall be
identical to those applicable to the existing Loans and Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall be entitled to pay customary arrangement and up-front fees in connection with such Incremental Commitments. 

(f) Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, including such amendments to the Schedules to this Agreement and the Confidential Disclosure Letter, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower to effect the
provision of this Section 2.14 (including information as to any acquired business), and for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary. The Borrowers may, in
connection with any such Joinder Agreement, add one or more co-borrowers (so long as such additional co-borrowers provide all documentation and other information with respect to them that are required by regulatory authorities under applicable
“know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the PATRIOT Act in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent prior to becoming a co-borrower hereunder), and any such
co-borrower added shall be deemed a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any co-borrower added in connection with this Section 2.14(f) shall also be added as a Guarantor and provide a Guaranty of the
Obligations (other than such entity’s Obligations as a co-borrower). 
 (g) The Loans and Commitments extended or
established pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit
equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Collateral Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security
interests granted by the Collateral Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the extension or establishment of any such Loans or any such Commitments. 

Section 2.15. Modification of Revolving Credit Loans. 

(a) Extension Request. The Parent Borrower may by thirty (30) Business Days’ written notice to the
Administrative Agent elect to request, effective as of the applicable Maturity Date or any date which Commitments have been previously extended pursuant to this Section 2.15 (any such date a “Revolving Maturity Date”), to
extend the applicable Revolving Credit Loans and the applicable Commitments beyond such applicable Revolving Maturity Date or to replace the applicable Commitments. Such notice shall specify (i) the date on which the Parent Borrower proposes
that the extended or new Commitments shall mature, (ii) the identity of each Eligible Assignee to whom the Parent Borrower proposes any portion of such extended or new Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations and
(iii) the minimum amounts, if any, and minimum increments, if any, that the Parent Borrower may, in its discretion, specify; provided that prior to offering such extended or new Commitments to any other Person that is an Eligible
Assignee, the Parent Borrower shall first offer such extended or new Commitments to each existing Lender, and such Lender may extend all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments or provide new Commitments, as applicable, or may elect or
decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such extended or new Commitment and if it so declines, the unpaid principal amount of its Revolving Credit Loans shall be paid in full on the applicable Revolving Maturity Date. 

  
 -65- 








 (b) Conditions. The extended or new Commitments shall become effective, as
of the applicable Revolving Maturity Date; provided that: 
 (i) each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
shall be satisfied; 
 (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the extension or
replacement of the Commitments; and 
 (iii) the Parent Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or
other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. 
 (c) Terms of
New Revolving Credit Loans and Commitments. The term and provisions of extended or new Revolving Credit Loans and extended or new Commitments made pursuant to such extension or replacement (i) shall have pricing terms as may be agreed by
the Parent Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (ii) shall have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of Revolving Credit Loans (or unused Commitments) being refinanced and will require no scheduled amortization or mandatory
commitment reduction prior to the latest applicable Maturity Date of the Commitments and (iii) shall otherwise have terms and conditions that are substantially identical to, or less favorable to the investors providing such Revolving Credit
Loans and Commitments than, the terms of the Revolving Credit Loans (or unused Commitments) being refinanced. The extended or new Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Revolving Extension Loan Joinder”) executed
by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each lender making such extended or new Commitment, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. The Revolving Extension Loan Joinder 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 opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15, and any Loans and the Commitments in respect thereof
extended pursuant to any Revolving Extension Loan Joinder may constitute a separate Class or Classes, as the case may be, of Loans and Commitments from the Classes constituting the Loans and Commitments prior to the date of such Revolving Extension
Loan Joinder. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or Section 10.01 to the contrary. 

(d) Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. Any Revolving Extension Loan Joinder may provide for the issuance of Letters
of Credit for the account of the Borrowers, or the provision to the Borrowers of Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances, pursuant to any new Commitments established thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to
Letters of Credit, Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances under the Commitments. 
 In addition, if so provided in the relevant Revolving
Extension Loan Joinder and with the consent of each L/C Issuer, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Maturity Date shall be re-allocated from Lenders holding Commitments to Lenders holding extended Commitments in
accordance with the terms of such Revolving Extension Loan Joinder; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests
in respect of such Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. 

(e) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments extended or established pursuant to this Section 2.15
shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security
interests created by the Collateral Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Collateral Documents continue to
be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the extension or establishment of any such Loans or any such Commitments. 

  
 -66- 








 Section 2.16. Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitment, Etc. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a
Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding Letter of Credit participation pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i), Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c), and Protective Advance
participation pursuant to Section 2.17(b), in each case, of such Defaulting Lender: 
 (i) the Letter of Credit
participation pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i), Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c) and Protective Advance participation pursuant to Section 2.17(b), in each case, of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the
limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided that
(a) the Outstanding Amount of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations (with the aggregate amount of such Lenders’ risk participations and funded participation in L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans and
Protective Advances being deemed “held” by such Lender) may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (b) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a
Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such
Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; 
 (ii) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated
portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit participation pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i), Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c), and Protective Advance participation pursuant to
Section 2.17(b) cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrowers will, not later than two Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the
Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and/or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be), (1) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers to the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, in respect of such Letter of
Credit participation pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i), the Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c) and the Protective Advance participation pursuant to Section 2.17(b), as the case may be, in an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such Letter of Credit participation pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i), the Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c) and the Protective Advance participation pursuant to
Section 2.17(b), or (2) in the case of such Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c) and such Protective Advance participation pursuant to Section 2.17(b), prepay (subject to clause (iii) below) and/or Cash
Collateralize in full the unreallocated portion thereof, or (3) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them
against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; and 
 (iii) any amount paid by the Borrowers for the account of a
Defaulting Lender that was or is a Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the
Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest-bearing account until (subject to Section 2.16(d)) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and will be applied by the Administrative
Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third to the payment
of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders that are Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest


  
 -67- 








 
then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts
of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and unreimbursed payments made by the L/C Issuer pursuant to a Letter of Credit then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are Lenders hereunder ratably in
accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are Lenders, and seventh after the termination of the Commitments
and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 

(b) Fees. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such
Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.9 (without prejudice to the rights of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees); provided that in the case of a
Defaulting Lender that was or is a Lender (x) to the extent that a portion of the Letter of Credit participation pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i), Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c), and Protective Advance
participation pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16(a), such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue
for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, and (y) to the extent any portion of such Letter of Credit participation pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i),
Swing Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c) and Protective Advance participation pursuant to Section 2.17(b) cannot be so reallocated, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, as their interests appear (and the pro rata payment provisions of Sections 2.12 and 2.13 will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section). 

(c) Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitment. The Parent Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment
of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.16(a)(iii) will apply to all amounts
thereafter paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender that is a Lender under this Agreement (in each case whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be
deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. 

(d) Cure. If the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender agree in writing in
their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to
any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.16(a)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding
Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the total Commitments, Revolving Credit Loans, Letter of Credit participation pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i), Swing
Line Loan participation pursuant to Section 2.04(c) and Protective Advance participation pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender
will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such Commitments and Loans of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments will be made
retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected
parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 Section 2.17. Protective Advances. 

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth below (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.02), the
Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion in the exercise of its commercially reasonable judgment (but shall have absolutely no obligation), to make
Loans to the Borrowers, on behalf of all Lenders at any time that any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 has not been satisfied or waived, which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable
(a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (c) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to
be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 10.04) and other sums, in each case to the extent due and payable (and
not in dispute by the Borrowers (acting in good faith)) under the Loan Documents (each such Loan, a “Protective Advance”). Any Protective Advance may be made in a principal amount that would cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of
all Lenders to exceed the Borrowing Base; provided that no Protective Advance may be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such Protective Advance (together with the outstanding principal amount of any outstanding Protective
Advances), the aggregate principal amount of Protective Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed 3.0% of the Borrowing Base as determined on the date of such proposed Protective Advance; and provided, further, that the aggregate
amount of Credit Extensions (including the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances) shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments. Each Protective Advance shall be a Base Rate Loan. Each Protective Advance shall be secured by the Liens in
favor of the Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation
must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. The making of a Protective Advance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Administrative Agent to make any Protective Advance on
any other occasion. At any time that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied or waived, the Administrative Agent may request the Lenders to make a Revolving Credit Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other
time, the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.17(b). 

(b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or
Event of Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such
Protective Advance in proportion to its Pro Rata Share. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to
such Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral (if any) received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance. 

Section 2.18. Reserves. The Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time in the exercise of its Permitted
Discretion upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Parent Borrower, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of such Reserve being established (during which period (x) the Administrative Agent
shall, if requested, discuss any such Reserve with the Parent Borrower and (y) the Parent Borrower may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matter that is the basis for such Reserve no longer exists or exists in a
manner that would result in the establishment of a lower Reserve, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), establish and increase or decrease Reserves, without duplication of any other reserves or items
that are otherwise addressed or excluded through eligibility criteria in the definitions of “Eligible Accounts,” “Eligible Billed Accounts” or “Eligible Unbilled Time & Material Accounts,” in accordance with
the terms hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the establishment or increase of any Reserves shall be limited to such Reserves as the Administrative Agent determines, in its Permitted Discretion, are
appropriate to reflect (i) changes after the Closing Date that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Administrative Agent’s ability to realize upon the ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) changes after the Closing Date to
reflect priority claims and liabilities that the Administrative Agent determines will need to be satisfied in connection with the realization upon the ABL Priority Collateral, (iii) changes after the Closing Date to reflect events, conditions,
contingencies or risks that differ materially from facts or events occurring and known to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date and which directly and adversely affect any 

  
 -69- 








 
component of the Borrowing Base in any material respect; provided that events, conditions, contingencies or risks existing or arising prior to the Closing Date and, in each case, disclosed
to the Administrative Agent during any field examination or appraisal in connection herewith prior to the Closing Date shall not be the basis for any establishment of any Reserves after the Closing Date, unless such events, conditions, contingencies
or risks shall have changed in a material respect since the Closing Date, and (iv) changes after the Closing Date to reflect changes known to the Administrative Agent in any concentration of risk with respect to a Loan Party’s Accounts or
any other factors known to the Administrative Agent and arising after the Closing Date that change in any material respect the credit risk of lending to the Borrowers on the security of a Loan Party’s Accounts. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (A) in no event shall Reserves with respect to any component of the Borrowing Base duplicate Reserves or adjustments already accounted for in determining eligibility criteria and (B) in no event
shall Reserves be imposed on the first 5.0% of dilution of Accounts and thereafter shall not exceed more than 1.0% for each incremental percentage in dilution over 5.0%. 

Section 2.19. Secured Hedge Obligations and Cash Management Obligations. Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, each
Lender or Affiliate thereof providing Cash Management Services for, or any Hedge Bank having any Secured Hedge Agreements with, any Loan Party the obligations with respect to which such Loan Party and such Lender or Affiliate thereof, or such Hedge
Bank, have agreed in writing will constitute “ABL Obligations” (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, promptly after entering into such Cash Management Services or Secured Hedge
Agreements, written notice setting forth the aggregate amount of all Cash Management Obligations and Secured Hedge Obligations of such Loan Party to such Lender or Affiliate thereof, or such Hedge Bank, as applicable, and whether matured or
unmatured, absolute or contingent. In furtherance of that requirement, each such Lender or Affiliate thereof providing Cash Management Services for, or any Hedge Bank having any Secured Hedge Agreements with, any Loan Party shall furnish the
Administrative Agent from time to time after a significant change therein or upon a request therefor, a summary of the amounts due or to become due in respect of such Cash Management Obligations and Secured Hedge Obligations. For the avoidance of
doubt, no Person shall, with respect to any Cash Management Obligations or any Secured Hedge Obligations, be at any time a provider of Cash Management Services or a Hedge Bank under any Secured Hedge Agreement, as applicable, with respect to more
than one Series (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) of Obligations (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement). 
 ARTICLE 3

 TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 

Section 3.01. Taxes. 

(a) Unless otherwise required by any Law, any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of any Agent or any
Lender (which term shall, for purposes of this Section 3.01, include any L/C Issuer) under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes. If any Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall be
required by any Laws to deduct any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (1) the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so
that after all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) have been made, each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (2) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, (3) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with
applicable Laws, and (4) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment, the applicable withholding agent (if it is not the Administrative Agent) shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(b) In addition, the Parent Borrower, the Co-Borrowers, and the other Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to pay any and
all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery,
performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). For the avoidance of doubt, “Other Taxes” shall not include any Excluded Taxes. 

  
 -70- 








 (c) Without duplication, the Parent Borrower, the Co-Borrowers, and the other
Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or Lender and any Other Taxes (including any
Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.01, and any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to any payment made by or on account of any Guarantor) payable by
such Agent or such Lender, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, provides the Parent
Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts. Payment under this Section 3.01(c) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date such Lender or such Agent makes
a demand therefor (and submits the required written statement), but in no event earlier than ten (10) days before such Taxes are due and payable to the applicable Governmental Authority. If the Parent Borrower reasonably believes that any
Lender or Agent is entitled to receive a refund in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to the Lender or Agent, as applicable, by any Loan Party pursuant to or in respect
of Section 3.01 or Section 6 of the Guaranty, the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and on behalf of the other Loan Parties) may notify (in writing) the Lender or Agent, as applicable, of the availability of such refund. Upon such
notice, the Lender or Agent, as applicable, shall promptly apply for such refund unless, in the good faith judgment of the Lender or Agent, as applicable, applying for such refund would cause the Lender or Agent, as applicable, to suffer any
material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. The Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Co-Borrowers) shall reimburse the Lender or Agent, as applicable, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the
Lender or Agent incurred in pursuing such refund. If the Lender or Agent, as applicable, receives any such refund, it shall be governed by Section 3.01(d). 

(d) If any Lender or Agent receives a refund (whether received in cash or applied by the taxing authority granting the refund
to offset another tax obligation otherwise owed) in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by any Loan Party pursuant to or in respect of this Section 3.01 or
Section 6 of the Guaranty, it shall promptly remit such refund (including any interest included in such refund by the applicable taxing authority) to the Parent Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the
Lender or Agent, as the case may be; provided that the Parent Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund
to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Parent Borrower’s request, provide the Parent Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund
received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential). Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to
arrange its Tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any Tax refund or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to do
anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled. 

(e) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or
Section 3.01(c) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Parent Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to such Lender’s overall internal policies of general application and legal and regulatory restrictions)
to avoid the consequences of such event, including to designate another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event or to assign its rights and obligations with respect to such Loan or Letter of Credit to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and
provided further that nothing in this Section 3.01(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of any Loan Party or the rights of the Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) and Section 3.01(c). 

  
 -71- 








 Section 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has
made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, 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 until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, each such Borrower 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, 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. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, each such Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid
or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. 

Section 3.03. Inability To Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason 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 that 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, or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such
Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Parent Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon
the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parent 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) 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 reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or any L/C Issuer; 

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Non-Excluded Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses
(b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital
attributable thereto; or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition,
cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to,
continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of
maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount)
then, upon written demand of such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient in accordance with, and subject to, Section 3.06, the Borrowers will, without duplication, pay to such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such amounts shall only


  
 -72- 








 
be payable by the Borrowers to the applicable Lender, L/C Issuer or Recipient under this Section 3.04(a) so long as it is such Lender’s, L/C Issuer’s or Recipient’s general
policy or practice to demand compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other financing agreements. 

(b) If any Lender or L/C Issuer reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or L/C Issuer or any Lending
Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s capital or on the
capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit, Swing Line Loans or Protective Advances held
by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration
such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon written demand of such Lender or L/C Issuer in accordance
with, and subject to, Section 3.06, the Borrowers will, without duplication, pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C
Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that such amounts shall only be payable by the Borrowers to the applicable Lender or L/C Issuer under this Section 3.04(b) so long as it is such Lender’s or
such L/C Issuer’s general policy or practice to demand compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other financing agreements. 

(c) Each Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) 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, 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 in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any
other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if
necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each
case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the Parent Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such
additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such
notice. 
 (d) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the
Parent Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event or to assign its rights and obligations with respect to such Loan or Letter of Credit to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and
provided further that nothing in this Section 3.04(d) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Parent Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), Section 3.04(b) or
Section 3.04(c). 
 Section 3.05. Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender from time to time, the Borrowers shall
promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last
day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or 

(b) any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue
or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower; 

  
 -73- 








 including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain
such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. 
 For purposes of calculating amounts payable
by a Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank
eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of such Lender submitted to the Parent Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to
any amounts owing under this Section 3.05 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 Section 3.06. Matters Applicable To All
Requests For Compensation. 
 (a) Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article 3 shall deliver a
certificate to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining
such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 
 (b) With respect to any
Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03 or Section 3.04, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty
(180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Parent Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrowers under Section 3.04, the Borrowers 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, 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) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue any Eurodollar Rate Loan from one Interest Period to another, or to
convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current
Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the
circumstances specified in Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03 or Section 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist: 

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of
principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and 

(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another by such
Lender shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans. 

(d) If any Lender gives notice to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances
specified in Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03 or Section 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender
agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time 

  
 -74- 








 
when Eurodollar Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted irrespective of whether such conversion results in greater
than fifteen (15) Interest Periods being outstanding under this Agreement, 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 held by the Lenders 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 Commitments. 

Section 3.07. Replacement Of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances. 

(a) If at any time (x) any Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in
Section 3.01(a) or (c) or Section 3.02 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurodollar Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.04, (y) any Lender becomes
a Defaulting Lender or (z) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Parent Borrower may, on ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender (in its capacity as
a Lender under the applicable Class of Loans or Commitments, if the underlying matter in respect of which such Lender has become a Non-Consenting Lender relates to a certain Class of Loans or Commitments) by causing such Lender to (and such Lender
shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrowers in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (in respect of the applicable Class of Loans or Commitments
if the underlying matter in respect of which such Lender has become a Non-Consenting Lender relates to a certain Class of Loans or Commitments) to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that (i) in the case of any Eligible Assignees in
respect of Non-Consenting Lenders, the replacement Lender shall agree to the consent, waiver or amendment to which the Non-Consenting Lender did not agree and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the
Borrowers to find a replacement Lender or other such Person. 
 (b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to
Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans of the applicable Class and, if applicable, participations in L/C Obligations, Swing Line
Loans and Protective Advances, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that it is understood that the failure of any Lender replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a)
to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver such Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and the Notes shall be deemed cancelled upon such
failure. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (i) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans of the applicable Class and, if applicable,
participations in L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances, (ii) all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender
to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption and (iii) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by each Borrower, the
assignee Lender 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 provisions under this
Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above,
(i) the Lender that acts as the L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing of a back-up
standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the depositing of Cash Collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to
such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit and (ii) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced in such capacity hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.10.


  
 -75- 








 (d) In the event that (i) the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent
has requested the Lenders to consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or to agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all Lenders or all affected
Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class of Loans or Commitments and (iii) the Required Lenders 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.” 
 Section 3.08.
Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article 3 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender (including any L/C Issuer) and the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment
of all other Obligations hereunder.

 (D) subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, cause each such Restricted
Subsidiary that is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 6.12 to deliver, other than with respect to Excluded Assets, any and all certificates representing Equity Interests directly owned by such Restricted Subsidiary or, if

may reasonably request, 
 (b) Upon the acquisition of any Material Real Property by any Borrower or any Subsidiary
Guarantor, or if otherwise required by Section 6.12(a)(i), if such Material Real Property shall not already be subject to a perfected Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the relevant Borrower or
Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, shall give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, cause such Material Real Property (other than Excluded Assets) to be
subjected to a Lien securing such Borrower’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations and will take, or cause the relevant Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent to grant and perfect or record such Lien in accordance with the Mortgage Requirement within ninety (90) days after such request (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion).

 (c) Concurrently with the delivery of each Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 6.02(b) in respect of financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an appropriate Intellectual Property Security Agreement with respect to all Patents (as defined in the Security Agreement) and Trademarks (as
defined in the Security Agreement) registered or pending with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and registered or pending Copyrights (as defined in the Security Agreement) with the United States Copyright Office constituting After
Acquired Intellectual Property (as defined in the Security Agreement) that is Material Intellectual Property owned by it or any Guarantor as of the last day of the period for which such Compliance Certificate is delivered, to the extent that such
After Acquired Intellectual Property that is Material Intellectual Property is not covered by any previous Intellectual Property Security Agreement so signed and delivered by it or such Guarantor. In each case, the Parent Borrower will, and will
cause each Subsidiary 

  
 -91- 








 
Guarantor to, promptly cooperate as necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to make any necessary recordations with the US Copyright Office or the US Patent and Trademark Office, as
appropriate, with respect to such Material Intellectual Property. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 6.12 and the provisions of any Loan Document, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not take, and the Borrowers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not be required to grant, a security interest in any Excluded Assets, (ii) the
Administrative Agent shall not take a security interest in any assets, including without limitation, Material Real Property, as to which the Administrative Agent shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, that the cost, burden or consequences of
obtaining such Lien (including any mortgage, stamp, intangibles or other similar Tax, title insurance or similar items) is excessive in relation to the benefit to the Secured Parties of the security afforded thereby, (iii) Liens required to be
granted pursuant to this Section 6.12, and actions required to be taken, including to perfect such Liens, shall be subject to exceptions and limitations consistent with those set forth in the Collateral Documents as in effect on the Closing
Date and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, and (iv) the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be required to provide any Guaranty or grant a security interest in their property, to the extent any material and adverse tax consequence would reasonably
be expected to result from the provision of such Guaranty or the grant of such security interest. 
 (e) The Parent Borrower
agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing promptly, but in any event within 60 days, after any change in (i) the legal name of any Grantor (as defined in the Security Agreement), (ii) the identity or type of organization or
corporate structure of such Grantor or (iii) the jurisdiction of organization of such Grantor. 
 Section 6.13. Compliance
with Environmental Laws. Except, in each case, to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) comply, and take all reasonable actions to cause all lessees and other
Persons operating or occupying its properties to comply, in all material respects, with all applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits; (b) obtain and renew all Environmental Permits necessary for its operations and properties; and

 Section 6.14. Further
Assurances. Promptly upon reasonable request by the Administrative Agent, or any Lender through the Administrative Agent, (i) correct any material defect or error that may be discovered in the execution, acknowledgment, filing or
recordation of any Collateral Document or other document or instrument relating to any Collateral, and (ii) do, execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register any and all such further acts, deeds,
certificates, assurances and other instruments as the Administrative Agent, or any Lender through the Administrative Agent, may reasonably require from time to time for the purposes of perfecting the rights of the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral (or with respect to any additions thereto or replacements or proceeds or products thereof or with respect to any other property or assets hereafter acquired by the Parent Borrower or any
other Loan Party which is required to be part of the Collateral to the extent required by Section 6.12), in each case subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth in Section 6.12 and in the Collateral Documents. 

Section 6.15. Designation of Subsidiaries. The board of directors of the Parent Borrower may at any time designate any
Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (a) immediately before and after such designation, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
(b) immediately after giving effect to such designation, the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be in compliance, on a Pro Forma Basis, with a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of not greater than 5.75 to 1.00 as of the end of the Test
Period then last ended (and, as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any such designation, the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth a calculation of Consolidated EBITDA consistent with the
Consolidated EBITDA Calculation Format), (c) notwithstanding anything else in this Section 6.15 to the contrary, any Unrestricted Subsidiary that has been re-designated a Restricted Subsidiary may not be subsequently re-designated as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary and (d) no Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it is a “Restricted Subsidiary” for the purpose of any Junior Financing, the Senior Secured Notes or any Permitted Refinancing of any of
the foregoing, or any Cash Flow 

  
 -92- 








 
Credit Facilities, in each case, so long as the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding in respect of any of the foregoing, individually, is in excess of $5,000,000. The
designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by Parent Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary (as applicable) therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value of
such Person’s (as applicable) investment therein and the Investment resulting from such designation must otherwise be in compliance with Section 7.02. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall
constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time. As of the date hereof, any Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower are set forth in the Confidential Disclosure
Letter. 
 Section 6.16. Cash Management. 

(a) Control Agreements. 

(i) Subject to Sections 6.16(d) and 6.16(e), each Loan Party shall, within 60 days after the Closing Date (or such longer
period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) cause each bank at which such Loan Party maintains a Deposit Account (in each case, other than Excluded Accounts and other than the Designated Blocked Accounts) (each, a
“Collateral Deposit Account”) and each Securities Intermediary at which such Loan Party maintains a Securities Account (in each case, other than Excluded Accounts) (each, a “Collateral Securities Account”), to enter
into a Deposit Account Control Agreement or a Securities Account Control Agreement, as the case may be, with the Administrative Agent and such Loan Party. 

(ii) In the event (x) any Loan Party or any bank at which a Collateral Deposit Account is maintained shall, after the date
hereof, terminate the Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such Collateral Deposit Account for any reason, or (y) the Administrative Agent shall demand such termination as a result of the failure of such bank to comply in any
material respect with the terms of such Deposit Account Control Agreement, in each case at the Administrative Agent’s written request, such Loan Party shall notify all of its respective obligors that were making payments to such Collateral
Deposit Account, to make all future payments to another Collateral Deposit Account. 
 (iii) In the event (x) any Loan
Party or any Securities Intermediary at which a Collateral Securities Account is maintained shall, after the date hereof, terminate the Securities Account Control Agreement with respect to such Collateral Securities Account for any reason, or
(y) the Administrative Agent shall demand such termination as a result of the failure of a Securities Intermediary to comply in any material respect with the terms of such Securities Account Control Agreement, in each case at the Administrative
Agent’s written request, such Loan Party shall notify all of its obligors that were making payments to such Collateral Securities Account to make all future payments to another Collateral Securities Account. 

(iv) At no time following the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Enforcement Notice issued by the Applicable First Lien
Agent may any First Lien Trust Monies or identifiable Proceeds of First Lien Priority Collateral be commingled with any ABL Priority Collateral or any Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral. 

(b) Designated Blocked Accounts; Borrowing Base Reporting. 

(i) Any Deposit Account that is (x) owned by a Loan Party, (y) maintained with Citibank, and (z) subject at all
times to a Deposit Account Control Agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent that specifies that such Deposit Account is and shall be under the sole control of the Administrative Agent, and that the Administrative Agent shall be the only Person
authorized to give instructions in respect of funds or other assets credited to such Designated Blocked Account (each such Deposit Account Control Agreement, a “Blocked Control Agreement”) may be designated as a “Designated
Blocked Account” by the Parent Borrower by identifying such Deposit Account as a “Designated Blocked Account” either in the Confidential Disclosure Letter delivered to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date or in a written
notice 

  
 -93- 








 
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent at the time any such Blocked Control Agreement is entered into by such Loan Party, Citibank and
the Administrative Agent (each such Deposit Account, a “Designated Blocked Account”). Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Collateral Document to the contrary, at no time shall (A) any Designated Blocked Account constitute
an Excluded Account or (B) any Deposit Account constitute a Designated Blocked Account unless a Blocked Control Agreement is in effect with respect to such Deposit Account. 

(ii) The Administrative Agent hereby agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of any Blocked Account Control Agreement to the
contrary, and in no way effecting the Administrative Agent’s “control” thereunder as described therein, it shall consent to the withdrawal by any Loan Party that owns a Designated Blocked Account of cash from such Designated Blocked
Account at any time that (x) the chief financial officer, chief accounting officer or treasurer (or other equivalent officer) of the Parent Borrower delivers an updated Borrowing Base Certificate to the Administrative Agent calculated on a pro
forma basis after giving effect to all such withdrawals to be made at such time, in accordance with the monthly Borrowing Base Certificate reporting requirements or, if the information required for such monthly certificate is not available during
any interim period for which a monthly Borrowing Base Certificate is not required to be delivered, in accordance with the Weekly Reporting Format, and such Borrowing Base Certificate shall be the most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate
for all purposes under this Agreement until the delivery of the next Borrowing Base Certificate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (y) a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower delivers a certificate to the Administrative Agent
certifying that no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing both immediately before and after giving effect to such withdrawal, and (z) such Borrowing Base Certificate delivered pursuant to clause (x) above shall
demonstrate sufficient Excess Availability such that no Cash Dominion Period and no Financial Covenant Trigger Period is in effect at the time of such withdrawal after giving effect thereto. 

(iii) The Administrative Agent hereby agrees that at any time that any Borrower deposits additional cash into any Designated
Blocked Account during any interim period for which a monthly Borrowing Base Certificate is not required to be delivered, the chief financial officer, chief accounting officer or treasurer (or other equivalent officer) of the Parent Borrower may
deliver an updated Borrowing Base Certificate to the Administrative Agent, calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to all such deposits, in accordance with the Weekly Reporting Format, and such Borrowing Base Certificate shall be the
most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate for all purposes under this Agreement until the delivery of the next Borrowing Base Certificate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(c) Collection and Allocation of Collateral Proceeds. 

(i) Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, each Loan Party shall direct all of its Account Debtors obligated to make a
payment to any Loan Party under any Account (other than, following receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Enforcement Notice issued by the Applicable First Lien Agent, Accounts which constitute identifiable Proceeds which arise solely from the
sale or disposition of First Lien Priority Collateral) to forward payments directly to Collateral Deposit Accounts or lock boxes subject to Deposit Account Control Agreements. If any Loan Party should refuse or neglect to notify any Account Debtor
to forward payments directly to a Collateral Deposit Account or lock box subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement, then after written notice from the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, be entitled to make such notification directly to such Account Debtor. 
 (ii)
The Administrative Agent shall not deliver a notice of exclusive control to any bank or Securities Intermediary with respect to any Deposit Account Control Agreement or Securities Account Control Agreement, as the case may be, unless a Cash Dominion
Period is in effect. During a Cash Dominion Period, after delivering a notice of exclusive control, the Administrative Agent shall have sole access to the Collateral Deposit Accounts and the Collateral


  
 -94- 








 
Securities Accounts at all times (until such control is rescinded or such Cash Dominion Period is no longer in effect) and each Loan Party shall take all actions necessary to grant the
Administrative Agent such sole access. At no time during a Cash Dominion Period shall any Loan Party remove any item from a lock box, a Collateral Deposit Account or a Collateral Securities Account without the Administrative Agent’s prior
written consent. If notwithstanding the instructions described in Section 6.16(c)(i), any Loan Party receives any Proceeds of any such Account during a Cash Dominion Period, such Grantor shall receive such payments as the Administrative
Agent’s trustee, and shall immediately deposit all cash, checks or other similar payments related to or constituting payments made in respect of such Accounts received by it to a Collateral Deposit Account. During a Cash Dominion Period, all
funds deposited into any Collateral Deposit Account or Collateral Securities Account will be swept on a daily basis into a collection account that is a Deposit Account, established by the Administrative Agent from time to time, in its sole
discretion, to receive cash from such Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts during a Cash Dominion Period, with such bank as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion, in the name of the Administrative Agent (although such
Deposit Account may also have words referring to the Parent Borrower and the Deposit Account’s purpose) and under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent (the “Collection Account”). During a Cash Dominion
Period, all amounts received in the Collection Account shall be deemed received by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.12 and shall, after having been credited to the Collection Account, be applied (and allocated) by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii). 
 (d) Covenant Regarding New or Acquired Deposit
Accounts and Securities Accounts. Before opening or replacing any Collateral Deposit Account, Collateral Securities Account, or any Designated Blocked Account, each Loan Party shall cause each bank or Securities Intermediary in which it seeks to
open (i) a Collateral Deposit Account, to enter into a Deposit Account Control Agreement with the Administrative Agent in order to give the Administrative Agent “control” (within the meaning of the UCC) of such Collateral Deposit
Account, (ii) a Collateral Securities Account, to enter into a Securities Account Control Agreement with the Administrative Agent in order to give the Administrative Agent “control” (within the meaning of the UCC) of such Collateral
Securities Account, and (iii) a Designated Blocked Account, to enter into a Blocked Control Agreement with the Administrative Agent in order to give the Administrative Agent control (within the meaning of the UCC) of such Designated Blocked
Account; provided that, in the case of this Section 6.16(d)(iii), the provisions of Section 6.16(b) shall apply. No Loan Party shall permit any Excluded Account to cease to become an Excluded Account unless it shall have caused the bank or
Securities Intermediary at which such account is maintained to execute and deliver a Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or Blocked Control Agreement, as the case may be, in favor of the Administrative Agent.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Loan Parties will not be required to provide a Deposit Account Control Agreement or Securities Account Control Agreement with respect to any Collateral Deposit Account, any other Deposit
Account (other than a Designated Blocked Account) or any Securities Account concurrently with the opening of such related account to the extent that the Administrative Agent has agreed to delay such requirement at the request of such Loan Party (and
such Loan Party agrees to provide the related Deposit Account Control Agreement or Securities Account Control Agreement at such later date as such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion (subject to extensions as may
be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion)). For the avoidance of doubt, the Loan Parties may open or close Excluded Accounts at any time without requirement of delivery of a Deposit Account Control Agreement or a Securities
Account Control Agreement, as the case may be, and without consent or notice to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. 

(e) Any Deposit Account or Securities Account (other than an Excluded Account) that is acquired by a Loan Party, or is a
Deposit Account of a Person that becomes a Loan Party after the Closing Date, in connection with an Investment permitted hereunder or otherwise acquired after the Closing Date, must be made subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities
Account Control Agreement, or Blocked Control Agreement, as applicable, and in each case complying with the provisions of this Section 6.16, so long as no Cash Dominion Period exists, within 60 days following the date such Deposit Account or
Securities Account is acquired or such Person becomes a Loan Party (or, in each case, such longer 

  
 -95- 








 
period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), and at any time a Cash Dominion Period exists, on the date such Deposit Account or Securities Account is acquired or such
Person becomes a Loan Party (or, in each case, such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion). 

Section 6.17. Collateral Access Agreements. Use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Collateral Access Agreements to
the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request from time to time in its Permitted Discretion, with respect to the leased properties located at (a) the two leased properties set forth in the Confidential
Disclosure Letter and (b) each other property that is leased in replacement of either of the foregoing scheduled locations and at which all or a material portion of the books and records relating to Accounts of any Loan Party that were located
at either of such scheduled locations are located from time to time following the Closing Date. 
 Section 6.18. Post Closing
Matters. Execute and deliver the documents and complete the tasks set forth in the Confidential Disclosure Letter, in each case within the time limits specified on such schedule (unless the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, shall have
agreed to any particular longer period).

extent that such losses are covered by a lender’s title insurance policy and the related insurer shall not have denied or disclaimed in writing that such losses are covered by such title insurance policy.

Commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such Commitments and obligation shall be terminated; 

(b) 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 Borrowers; 

(c) require that the Borrowers Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount

 (d) 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

unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall

 Fifth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid
principal of the Protective Advances, ratably among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fifth payable to them;

Seventh, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C

 Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit
pursuant to clause Seventh above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such
remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and, if no Obligations remain outstanding, delivered to the Parent Borrower. 

Section 8.04. Parent Borrower’s Right to Cure. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01, but subject to Sections 8.04(b) and (c), for the
purpose of determining whether an Event of Default has occurred under the covenant set forth in Section 7.10 as of any date, the Parent Borrower may apply the Net Cash Proceeds of a Permitted Equity Issuance (the “Cure Amount”)
to increase Consolidated EBITDA for and after the final day of the applicable fiscal quarter; provided that such Net Cash Proceeds (i) are actually received by the Parent Borrower on or prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after
the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter (the “Cure Expiration Date”), (ii) are Not Otherwise Applied (including, without limitation, used to increase
the Cumulative Amount) and (iii) do not exceed the maximum aggregate amount necessary to cure any Event of Default under Section 7.10 as of such date. The Cure Amount used to calculate Consolidated EBITDA for one fiscal quarter shall be
used and included when calculating Consolidated EBITDA for each Test Period that includes such fiscal quarter (it being understood that the full Cure Amount necessary to cure the breach of the covenant under Section 7.10 shall apply to the
calculation of the covenant under Section 7.10). The parties hereby acknowledge that this Section 8.04(a) may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any financial ratios (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio for purposes of determining whether the Payment Conditions are satisfied) other than as applicable to Section 7.10 and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts (including the amount of Indebtedness) other than the amount
of the Consolidated EBITDA referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. There shall be no pro forma reduction in Indebtedness or Consolidated Total Debt with the proceeds of a Permitted Equity Issuance for determining compliance with
Section 7.10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02, (A) upon receipt of the Cure Amount by the Parent Borrower, the covenant under Section 7.10 shall be deemed satisfied and
complied with as of the end of the relevant fiscal quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply with the covenant under such Section 7.10 and any Default or Event of Default related to any failure to comply with
the covenant under such Section 7.10 shall be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of the Loan Documents, and (B) upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Intent to Cure prior to the Cure Expiration


  
 -116- 








 
Date, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall exercise any rights or remedies under Section 8.02 (or under any other Loan Document available during the continuance of any
Default or Event of Default) on the basis of any actual or purported failure to comply with the covenant under such Section 7.10 until such failure is not cured pursuant to the Notice of Intent to Cure on or prior to the Cure Expiration Date.

 (b) In each period of four fiscal quarters, there shall be at least two (2) fiscal quarters in which no cure set
forth in Section 8.04(a) is made. 
 (c) There can be no more than four (4) fiscal quarters in which the cure set
forth in Section 8.04(a) is made during the term of this Agreement.

 -117- 








 
accordance with the terms of such Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent may effect any amendment or supplement to any Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or
arrangement permitted under this Agreement that is for the purpose of adding the holders of Indebtedness under Cash Flow Credit Facilities, First Lien Obligations or any other secured Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under this Agreement on a
junior priority basis to both the Obligations and the First Lien Obligations, as expressly contemplated by the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement (or the definition thereof) or such other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted
under this Agreement, as applicable. 
 Section 9.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the 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 the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative 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 Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to
account therefor to the Lenders. 
 Section 9.03. Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing; 
 (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 the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required 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 the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Laws; 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 Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving
as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not 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 expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) or (ii) in the absence of its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 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 Parent Borrower, a Lender or the
L/C Issuer. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any 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

the Administrative Agent. 

  
 -118- 








 Section 9.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. 

(a) 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. In
determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), 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 9.05. 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 Document by or through any one or more subagents appointed by the Administrative Agent (other than Disqualified Institutions). 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 Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties 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 9.06. Resignation of Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its
resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Parent Borrower. If the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, either the Required Lenders or the Parent Borrower may, upon ten (10) days’
notice remove the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of removal or resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Parent Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to
appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after receipt of such removal notice or the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring or removed Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation or
removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring or removed 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 or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time
as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly,
until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed 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 paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise
agreed between the Parent Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

  
 -119- 








 Section 9.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each
Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties
and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Section 9.08. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably
authorize the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent
under any Loan Document (i) upon all of the Obligations (other than (x) (i) Cash Management Obligations and (ii) Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, and (y) contingent obligations not yet
accrued and payable) having been paid in full, all Letters of Credit having been Cash Collateralized or otherwise back-stopped (including by “grandfathering” into any future credit facilities), in each case, on terms reasonably
satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer in its reasonable discretion, or having expired or having been terminated, and the Aggregate Commitments having expired or having been terminated, (ii) that is Disposed of or to be Disposed of as part of
or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than a Loan Party, (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders
(iv) owned by a Guarantor upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below, or (v) as expressly provided in the Collateral Documents; 

(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the
holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i) or (z); and 
 (c) to release any Guarantor or
any Borrower (other than the Parent Borrower) from its obligations under the Guaranty and this Agreement, as applicable, if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or
designation permitted hereunder; provided that no such release shall occur with respect to an entity that ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary if such Guarantor or Borrower continues to be a guarantor or
borrower in respect of any Specified Junior Financing Obligation unless and until such Guarantor or Borrower is (or is being simultaneously) released from its guarantee or borrowing obligation, as applicable, with respect to such Specified Junior
Financing Obligation. 
 Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the
Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty or Credit Agreement, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 9.08. In
each case as specified in this Section 9.08, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of
such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this
Section 9.08. 
 Section 9.09. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the
Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation Agent or any other Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as
applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder. 
 Section 9.10. 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 

  
 -120- 








 
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 9 and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 (obligating the Borrowers to pay the Administrative Agent’s expenses and to indemnify the
Administrative Agent) 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
Borrower or any other Loan Party be 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, such
Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments 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 9.11. Withholding Tax; Indemnification. 

(a) To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender
(including, for purposes of this Section 9.11, any L/C Issuer), an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the obligations of any Loan Party under Section 3.01, each Lender shall, and does hereby,
indemnify the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) calendar days after demand therefor, against 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 any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property 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 9.11. The agreements in this
Section 9.11 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder. 

  
 -121- 








 (b) To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not
reimbursed and indemnified by the Loan Parties (and without relieving the Loan Parties of their reimbursement and indemnification obligations under the Loan Documents), the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any
affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Share (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities (including environmental liabilities, if any), 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 affiliate thereof) 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 such affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
decision). 
 Section 9.12. Posting of Approved Electronic Communications. 

(a) Each of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, Holdings and the Borrowers agree, and the Parent Borrower agrees on behalf of each
Subsidiary Guarantor, that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on
IntraLinks/IntraAgency or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). 

(b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security
procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a
single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, Holdings and the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees, and the Parent Borrower
acknowledges and agrees on behalf of each Subsidiary Guarantor, that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In
consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, Holdings and
the Borrowers hereby approves, and the Parent Borrower approves on behalf of each Subsidiary Guarantor, of the distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes, and the
Parent Borrower understands and assumes on behalf of each Subsidiary Guarantor, the risks of such distribution. 
 (c) THE
APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSONS WARRANT THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE
APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM EXCEPT ERRORS OR OMISSIONS
RESULTING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 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 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR AGENT-RELATED PERSON IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED
ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. 

  
 -122- 








 (d) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above (unless the
Administrative Agent requests that the provisions of clause (a) and (b) above be followed) and any other provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document providing for the delivery of, any Approved Electronic Communication by any
other means, the Loan Parties may deliver all Approved Electronic Communications to the Administrative Agent by properly transmitting such Approved Electronic Communications in an electronic soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent to oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com or such other electronic mail address (or similar means of electronic delivery) as the Administrative Agent may notify the Parent Borrower. Nothing in this clause (d) shall prejudice the
right of any party to this Agreement to deliver any Approved Electronic Communication to any other party to this Agreement in any manner authorized in this Agreement or to request that the other parties to this Agreement effect delivery in such
manner. 
 (e) Each of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, Holdings and the Borrowers agree, and the Parent Borrower agrees on
behalf of each Subsidiary Guarantor, that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with
the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

Section 10.01. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and
no consent to any departure by the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and the Parent
Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, 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 each Lender directly affected
thereby (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.01 or Section 4.02, or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not
constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender); 
 (b) postpone any date scheduled for any payment of
principal or interest under Section 2.07 or Section 2.08 or fees under Section 2.03(i), Section 2.09(a) or Section 2.09(b), without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 

(c) reduce or forgive the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to
clause (iii) of the second proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that any
change to the definition of Average Historical Excess Availability or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees; 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 Borrowers to pay interest at the Default Rate; 

(d) change any provision of Section 2.12(a) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments among the
Lenders or change the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or any provision of Section 2.13 or Section 8.03, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 

(e) change any provision of this Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Super Majority
Lenders” without the written consent of each Lender; 

  
 -123- 








 (f) release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or
series of related transactions (it being understood that a transaction permitted under Section 7.05 shall not constitute the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral), without the written consent of each Lender; 

(g) other than in connection with a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05, release all or
substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantees, without the written consent of each Lender; or 

(h) amend, supplement or otherwise modify or waive the definition of the term “Borrowing Base” (or any component
definition thereof as used therein to calculate the Borrowing Base), any provisions (including advance rates) relating to eligibility, including, without limitation, the definitions of “Eligible Accounts,” “Eligible Billed
Accounts” and “Eligible Unbilled Time & Material Accounts,” in each of the foregoing cases, if the effect of such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver would be to increase the amount available to be borrowed by the
Borrowers hereunder, without the consent of the Super Majority Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the Administrative Agent to change, establish or eliminate any Reserves without the consent of any Lenders; 

and provided further that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the L/C Issuer in addition to the
Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement; (iii) 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; and (iv) 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. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (x) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender
(it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded from a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders) and (y) the principal of such Lender’s Loans shall
not be reduced or forgiven without the consent of such Lender. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended
and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, and the Parent Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time
outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Credit Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and
(b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01, in the event that the Parent Borrower requests that this
Agreement be modified or amended in a manner that would require the unanimous consent of all of the Lenders and such modification or amendment is agreed to by the Required Lenders, then with the consent of the Parent Borrower and the Required
Lenders, the Parent Borrower and the Required Lenders shall be permitted to amend the Agreement without the consent of the Non-Consenting Lenders to provide for (a) the termination of the Commitment of each Non-Consenting Lender at the election
of the Parent Borrower and the Required Lenders, (b) the addition to this Agreement of one or more other financial institutions (each of which shall be an Eligible Assignee), or an increase in the Commitment of one or more of the Lenders (with
the written consent thereof), so that the total Commitment after giving effect to such amendment shall be in the same amount as the total Commitment immediately before giving effect to such amendment, (c) if any Loans are outstanding at the
time of such amendment, the making of such additional Loans by such new financial institutions or Required Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, as may be necessary to repay in full, at par, the outstanding Loans of the Non-Consenting Lenders
(including, without limitation, any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05) immediately before giving effect to such amendment and (d) such other modifications to this Agreement as may be appropriate to effect the foregoing clauses (a),
(b) and (c). 

  
 -124- 








 In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01 or any
Loan Document, the Administrative Agent and any Loan Party may amend any Loan Document to correct administrative or manifest errors or omissions, to cure any ambiguities, defects, inconsistencies or mistakes, or to effect administrative changes that
are not adverse to any Lender; provided, however, that no such amendment shall become effective until the fifth Business Day after it has been posted to the Lenders, and then only if the Required Lenders have not objected in writing
thereto within such five Business Day period. 
 Section 10.02. Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies. 

(a) General. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder or
any other Loan Document shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or electronic mail address, 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 any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, to the address, facsimile number,
electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 10.02 or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties;

 (ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified
in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the
Swing Line Lender. 
 All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by

and the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Article 2 shall not be effective until actually received by such Person. In no event shall a voice-mail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder. 

(b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile.
The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may
also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature. 

(c) Reliance by Agents and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any
notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of any 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 Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each
Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

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 partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other 

  
 -125- 








 
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. 
 Section 10.04. Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrowers
agree, jointly and severally, (a) to pay or reimburse the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution 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 Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and, if necessary, of one local counsel and one regulatory counsel in each foreign jurisdiction as agreed between the
Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all reasonable 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), including all Attorney Costs of counsel (which counsel shall be limited as
provided in Section 10.05). The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any
Agent. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid promptly. The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. 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 or any Lender, in its sole discretion. 

Section 10.05. Indemnification by the Borrowers. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the
Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Arranger, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, attorneys-in-fact, trustees and advisors
(collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs (which shall
be limited to one (1) counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole (and, if necessary, one local counsel and one regulatory counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole in each appropriate jurisdiction), unless (x) the interests of the
Indemnitees are sufficiently divergent, in which case one (1) additional counsel may be appointed and (y) if the interests of any Lender or group of Lenders (other than all of the Lenders) are distinctly or disproportionately affected, one
(1) additional counsel for such Lender or group of Lenders in the case of clause (a) below)) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to
or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (c) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property
or facility currently or formerly owned or operated by the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (d) any
actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened
claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is instituted by a third party or by the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party) (all the foregoing,
collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (x) have been determined in the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or (y) arise from claims of any of the Indemnitees solely against
one or more Indemnitees (and not by one or more Lenders against the Administrative Agent or one or more of the other Agents) that have not resulted from the action, inaction, participation or contribution of the Parent Borrower, any Co-Borrower, any
of their 

  
 -126- 








 
respective Subsidiaries or other Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, stockholders, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives or advisors. No Indemnitee shall be
liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, 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). 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, shareholders 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 promptly. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
 Section 10.06. Payments Set Aside. To the
extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Parent Borrower or any Co-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 Federal Funds 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 assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (unless in connection with a transaction permitted under
Section 7.04) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(b), (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 Section 10.07(h), as the case may be, 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, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time
owing to it); provided that (i) except 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 or an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent shall not be less than $2,500,000
(provided, however, that concurrent assignments to or by Approved Funds will be treated as a single assignment for the purpose of meeting the minimum transfer requirements); (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (but subject to clause (iv) below), 

  
 -127- 








 
each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default in respect of Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(f) or Section 8.01(g)(i) or has occurred and is continuing and
except for assignments in connection with the exchange of Lenders’ interests pursuant to arrangements relating thereto among the Lenders following the date on which either any Event of Default referred to in Section 8.01(f) or
Section 8.01(g)(i) shall have occurred and be continuing in respect of the Parent Borrower or the Loans shall have been declared immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.02, the Parent Borrower consents to such assignment (each
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood that it shall be reasonable for the Parent Borrower to withhold or delay consent to any assignment to any Person that does not make revolving credit loans in the ordinary
course of its business); provided that the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment of Loans (other than to a Disqualified Institution) unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative
Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; (iii) 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, except that this clause (iii) shall not (x) apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans or (y) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations
among separate Commitments on a non-pro rata basis; (iv) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(v) the parties (other than the Parent Borrower unless its consent to such assignment is required hereunder) to each assignment shall (A) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic
settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (B) manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee (x) no Borrower shall
have an obligation to pay except as required in Section 3.07 and (y) may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its discretion); provided that only a single processing and recordation fee shall be payable in respect of multiple
contemporaneous assignments to Approved Funds with respect to any Lender; and (vi) the assigning Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Subject to acceptance and recording
thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible 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 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 Section 3.01, Section 3.04, Section 3.05, Section 10.04 and Section 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and
the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the relevant Borrower(s) (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a 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 clause (b) 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 Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C
Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and amounts due under Section 2.03, 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 Borrowers, 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 Parent Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, the Credit Extensions are intended to be treated as registered obligations for federal income tax purposes. Any right or title in or to any Credit Extensions (including with respect to the principal amount and any stated interest
thereon) may only be assigned or otherwise transferred through the Register. This Section shall be construed so that the Credit Extensions are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning


  
 -128- 








 
of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code, Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c) and any other related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code or such
regulations). The Register shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the principal and any stated interest amount owed under the Credit Extensions. 

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (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 (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line 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 Borrowers, 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 the other Loan Documents; 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 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(e), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 3.01, Section 3.04 and Section 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein and in Sections 3.06 and 10.15) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
Section 10.07(b) and such Participant agrees to be bound by such Sections, Section 3.06 and, for the avoidance of doubt, the second to last paragraph of Section 10.01. To the extent permitted by 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 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for
this purpose as an non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant
Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, Section 3.04 or
Section 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 Parent Borrower’s prior
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
 (f) Any Lender may at any time, without the
consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; 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 Parent 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, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to 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. Each party hereto hereby
agrees that an SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein and in Sections 3.06 and 10.15) , but (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 

  
 -129- 








 
or change the obligations of the Parent Borrower under this Agreement (including their obligations under Section 3.01, Section 3.04 or Section 3.05), unless the grant to an SPC is
made with the prior written consent of the Parent Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (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 of record 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 Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, 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) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may, without the consent of or notice
to the Administrative Agent or the Parent Borrower, create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the 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 (unless such trustee is an Eligible Assignee which has complied with the requirements of Section 10.07(b)). 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Citibank may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the
Parent Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or the Swing Line Lender; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period with respect to Citibank’s resignation as L/C Issuer, Citibank shall have
identified a successor L/C Issuer reasonably acceptable to the Parent Borrower willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Parent Borrower shall be entitled
to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by the Parent Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Citibank
as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, except as expressly provided above. If Citibank resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit
outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)). If Citibank resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation,
including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). 

(j) In the event that any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender or S&P, Moody’s and Thompson’s BankWatch (or
InsuranceWatch Ratings Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance companies (or Best’s Insurance Reports, if such insurance company is not rated by Insurance Watch Ratings Service)) shall downgrade the long term certificate deposit
ratings of such Lender, and the resulting ratings of such Lender shall be below BBB-, Baa3 and C (or BB, in the case of a Lender that is an insurance company (or B, in the case of an insurance company not rated by InsuranceWatch Ratings Service))
(or, with respect to any Lender that is not rated by any such ratings service or provider, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender shall have reasonably determined that there has occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition of any
such Lender, or a material impairment of the ability of any such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, as compared to such condition or ability as of the date that any such Lender became a Lender) then the L/C Issuer shall have the right, but
not the obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Lender with an 

  
 -130- 








 
assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.07(b) above), and such Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with
and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.07(b) above, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the prior written consent of the Parent Borrower to the extent otherwise required by Section 10.07(b)) all its interests, rights
and obligations in respect of its Commitment to such assignee; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule and regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii) the L/C Issuer or
such assignee, as the case may be, shall pay to such Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Lender hereunder and all other amounts
accrued for such Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder. 
 (k) No such assignment under this Section 10.07 will
be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of their respective subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this Section 10.07(k). In connection with any assignment
of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the
Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with
the consent of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent),
to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire
(and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and
obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this clause (k), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this
Agreement until such compliance occurs. 
 Section 10.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to it and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority; (c) to the
extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (provided that the Agent or Lender that discloses any Information pursuant to this clause (c) shall provide the Parent Borrower prompt notice
of such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable Law); (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be
reasonably acceptable to the Parent Borrower), to any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written
consent of the Parent Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; (h) to any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) (in which case such Person shall, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising
examination or regulatory authority, promptly notify the Parent Borrower, in advance, to the extent lawfully permitted to do so); (i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating
agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender); (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with such enforcement or (k) to any direct or indirect contractual
counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this
Section 10.08). In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the


  
 -131- 








 
Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this
Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to
disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. 
 Section 10.09. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Borrower or any other Loan
Party, any such notice being waived by each of the Borrowers (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency
different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have; provided, further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the
Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16(a) and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting
Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. 
 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 Borrowers. 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. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including via emailed pdf or similar file) of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and
signatures delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered
by facsimile or other electronic transmission. 
 Section 10.12. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other
Loan Documents and any agreement referred to in Section 2.09(b), comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject
matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents
or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement; provided 

  
 -132- 








 
further that in the event of any conflict between the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. 

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
each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding except as set forth in Section 2.03(g). 

Section 10.14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 10.15. Tax Forms. 

(a) To the extent it is qualified for any exemption from or reduction in United States federal withholding tax with respect to
any Loan made to the Borrowers, each Lender and Agent that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code that lends to the Borrowers (each, a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to
the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date (in the case of Lenders party to the Agreement on the Closing Date, and otherwise for other Lenders, upon accepting
an assignment of an interest herein or in the Agreement), two duly signed, properly completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8EXP or any successor thereto (relating to such Non-US Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of,
United States federal withholding tax on specified payments to be made to such Non-US Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to
such Non-US Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Non-US Lender is entitled to an exemption from,
or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code, and in the case of a Non-US Lender claiming such an exemption under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibits L-1, L-2, L-3 and L-4 (the “US Tax Certificate”) to this Agreement that establishes in writing to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Non-US Lender is not (i) a
“bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a 10-percent shareholder within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (iii) a controlled foreign corporation described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (iv) receiving any payment under any Loan Document that is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. Thereafter and from time to time, to the extent it is then qualified for any exemption
from or reduction in United States federal withholding tax, each such Non-US Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly and properly completed and signed copies of one or more of
such forms or certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or
such evidence as is reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Taxes in respect of payments to be made to such Non-US Lender by the
Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, in each case, (1) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (2) after the occurrence of any event requiring a
change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and (3) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
and (B) promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or 

  
 -133- 








 
render invalid any previously claimed exemption or reduction. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if
such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative
Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent 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 Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers 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 the immediately preceding sentence, “FATCA” shall include any
amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (i) Each Non-US Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases
to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Non-US Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Non-US Lender, or where Non-U.S. Lender is a
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date when such Non-US Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable,
and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in either case, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed, properly completed copies of the forms or
statements required to be provided by such Non-US Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Non-US Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to United States federal
withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Non-US Lender is required to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement
of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Non-US Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Non-US Lender, including any applicable U.S. Tax Certificate, provided
that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a US Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; 

(ii) The Administrative Agent may deduct and withhold any taxes required by any Laws to be deducted and withheld from any
payment under any of the Loan Documents. 
 (b) Each Lender and Agent that is a “United States person” within the
meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code that lends to any Borrower (each, a “US Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower two duly signed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 on or
prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), certifying that such US Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or any successor form. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, if such US Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to such US Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable backup withholding Tax imposed by the Code and the
Borrower(s) shall not be liable for any additional amounts with respect to such withholding. 
 (c) If any Governmental
Authority asserts that any Borrower or the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any Taxes from payments made to or for the account of any Lender (including any L/C Issuer), then to the extent such
improper withholding or backup withholding was directly caused by such Lender’s actions or inactions, such Lender shall indemnify the relevant Borrower(s) and the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any Taxes
imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.15, and costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) of such Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the
Lenders, severally, under this Section 10.15 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the
Administrative Agent.

ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH

or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders except as permitted by Section 7.04. 
 Section 10.19.

required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to

 -135- 








 Section 10.20. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all
aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each of Holdings and the Borrowers acknowledge and agrees that (i) the Commitments, Loans and Letters of Credit provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection
therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the
other hand, and the Borrowers are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Agents and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary, for the Borrowers; and
(iii) the Agents and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or
of any other Loan Document) and Holdings and the Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate. 

Section 10.21. No Personal Liability. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner
or stockholder of the Borrowers, Holdings or any other Loan Party or any of their direct or indirect parent companies shall have any liability for any obligations of the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties under the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the
Guaranty, the Commitments, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other Obligations or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Lender hereby waives and releases all such liability.

 Section 10.22. Obligations Joint and Several. The Borrowers shall have joint and several liability in respect of all
Obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document to which any Borrower is a party, without regard to any defense (other than the defense that payment in full has been made), setoff or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be
asserted by any other Loan Party against the Agents or the Lenders, or by any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrowers) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal
discharge of the Borrowers’ liability hereunder, in bankruptcy or in any other instance, and the Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Agents or the Lenders or any other person at
any time of any right or remedy against the Borrowers or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any Collateral or Guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto.
The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that this Agreement is the independent and several obligation of each Borrower (regardless of which Borrower shall have delivered a Request for Credit Extensions) and may be enforced against each Borrower separately,
whether or not enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder has been sought against any other Borrower. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives, with respect to any of the Loans or Letters of Credit made to any other Borrower hereunder and any of the
amounts owing hereunder by such other Loan Parties in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust
any right, power or remedy or proceed against such other Loan Parties under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of such amounts owing
hereunder. 
 Section 10.23. Parent Borrower Appointment. Each Co-Borrower hereby designates the Parent Borrower as its
representative and agent on its behalf for the purpose of issuing, executing and delivering Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices, delivering and giving instructions with respect to the disbursements of the proceeds of the Loans,

Co-Borrowers under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that any amounts paid by the Parent Borrower on behalf of another Borrower shall be deemed a payment by such other Borrower. The Parent Borrower hereby accepts such appointment.
The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer may regard any certificate, document, notice or other 

  
 -136- 








 
communication delivered pursuant to any Loan Document by the Parent Borrower as a certificate, document, notice or communication delivered by the Parent Borrower and all of the Co-Borrowers. Each
representation, warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on a Co-Borrower’s behalf by the Parent Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by each such Co-Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against
such Co-Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Co-Borrower.

 GUARANTY 

GUARANTY dated as of August 16, 2013 (this “Guaranty”) made by inVentiv Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Holdings”), inVentiv Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent Borrower”), each of the entities listed in Schedule II of the Credit Agreement (each, a “Co-Borrower”
and, together with the Parent Borrower, the “Borrowers” and each, a “Borrower”), each of the other Persons listed on Schedule I hereto and the Additional Guarantors (as defined in Section 9) in
favor of Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below). 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 

Holdings, the Parent Borrower, and the other Borrowers are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of August 16, 2013 (as amended, amended
and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) with certain Lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer. Each Guarantor may
receive, directly or indirectly, a portion of the proceeds of the Loans under the Credit Agreement and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the Secured Hedge Agreements
(together with all instruments, agreements or other documents evidencing the Cash Management Obligations, the “Finance Documents”) and it is in the interest of each such Guarantor to make this Guaranty in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the Secured Parties. It is a condition precedent to the making of Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement that each Guarantor (other than a Guarantor in its capacity as an
Additional Guarantor following the execution of a Supplemental Guaranty) shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty. 
 The potential
obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are not disproportionate to the benefits derived by such Guarantor from the making of extensions of credit to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement and the other financing arrangements described
above and/or to each such Guarantor’s net worth. 
 The execution, delivery and performance by each Guarantor of this Guaranty has been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action on the part of such Guarantor. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, hereby agrees as follows: 

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Guaranty and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in
the Credit Agreement. 
 (a) The rules of construction specified in Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement also apply to this Guaranty.


  
   

 
  








 (b) As used in this Guaranty, the following terms have the meanings specified below: 

“Administrative Agent” has the meaning specified in the preamble of this Guaranty. 

“Borrowers” has the meaning specified in the preliminary statement to this Guaranty. 

“Co-Borrower” has the meaning specified in the preliminary statement to this Guaranty. 

“Commodity Exchange Act” means the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq.), as amended from time to
time, and any successor statute. 
 “Credit Agreement” has the meaning specified in the preliminary statement to
this Guaranty. 
 “Debtor Relief Laws” has the meaning specified in Section 2(b) of this Guaranty. 

“Excluded Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any Guarantor, any Swap Obligation if, and to the extent that, all
or a portion of the guarantee of such Guarantor of, or the grant by such Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such Swap Obligation (or any guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or
order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Guarantor’s failure for any reason to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the
Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder at the time the guarantee of such Guarantor or the grant of such security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation. If a Swap Obligation arises under a master agreement
governing more than one swap, such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to swaps for which such guarantee or security interest is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule,
regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof). 

“Finance Documents” has the meaning specified in the preliminary statement to this Guaranty. 

“Full Satisfaction of the Obligations” has the meaning specified in Section 5 of this Guaranty. 

“Guarantor” means Holdings, the Borrowers, each of the other Persons listed on Schedule I hereto or the Additional
Guarantors, as the context may require, and “Guarantors” means, collectively, Holdings, the Borrowers, each of the other Persons listed on Schedule I hereto and the Additional Guarantors. 

“Guaranty” has the meaning specified in the preamble to this Guaranty. 

“Guaranty Supplement” means a guaranty supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto. 

  
 2 

 
  








 “Holdings” has the meaning specified in the preamble of this Guaranty.

 “Other Guarantors” has the meaning specified in Section 2(d) of this Guaranty. 

“Parent Borrower” has the meaning specified in the preliminary statement to this Guaranty. 

“Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Guarantor that at the time the relevant
guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can
cause another Person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.” 

“Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any Guarantor, any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract
or transaction that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 
 Section 2.
Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. 
 (a) Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees the punctual payment, whether at scheduled maturity or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of any Borrower, in each case, in its capacity as a Borrower (and not as a Guarantor), each Loan Party guaranteeing the
Obligations of any Borrower and each other Restricted Subsidiary which is an obligor with respect to any Secured Hedge Agreements now or hereafter existing or any Cash Management Obligations now or hereafter existing (including, without limitation,
any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes
of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations, in each case excluding Excluded Swap Obligations and as otherwise limited as set forth herein with respect to the relevant Guarantors, the “Guaranteed Obligations”),
and agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement
(including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel to the Administrative Agent); provided, that in no event shall the Guaranteed Obligations of any Guarantor include any of its Obligations as a
Borrower under the Credit Agreement and each Guarantor that is also a Borrower is executing this Guaranty solely in its capacity as a Guarantor and not as a Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability
shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Guarantor to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Finance Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable
due to the existence of a bankruptcy, liquidation, receivership, examinership, administration, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Guarantor. 

(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor (other than each Borrower in its respective capacity as a Borrower under the Credit Agreement), and by
acceptance of this Guaranty, the 

  
 3 

 
  








 
Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder not
constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Debtor Relief Laws, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar or analogous foreign, federal or state Law to the extent applicable to this
Guaranty and the Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each such
Subsidiary Guarantor (other than each Borrower in its respective capacity as a Borrower under the Credit Agreement) under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor
under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. For purposes hereof, “Debtor Relief Laws” means any proceeding of the type referred to in Section 8.01(f) of the Credit Agreement or Title 11,
U.S. Code, or any similar foreign, federal or state Law for the relief of debtors or relating to liquidation, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, administration or examinership. 

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured
Party under this Guaranty, or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, such amounts to each other Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of
the Finance Documents. 
 (d) To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations
exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the economic benefit actually received by such Guarantor from the Loans and (b) the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the Borrowers) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth at the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors (taken
together with the aggregate net worth of all other “Guarantors” (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) obligated with respect to such Guaranteed Obligations (the “Other Guarantors”)) at the
date of enforcement is sought hereunder, then each Other Guarantor shall reimburse such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worths of such Other Guarantors at the date enforcement hereunder is
sought. 
 (e) Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide
such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty in respect of any Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP
Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 2(e) for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2(e), or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under
applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 2(e) shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of
this Guaranty in accordance with Section 13. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 2(e) constitute, and this Section 2(e) shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the
benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

  
 4 

 
  








 Section 3. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed
Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents, regardless of any Law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with
respect thereto. The Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, that the Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the
Guaranteed Obligations or of any other Obligations of any other Guarantor under or in respect of the Finance Documents, and that a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective
of whether any action is brought against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or whether any Borrower or any other Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute
and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following: 

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Finance Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; 

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
Obligations of any other Guarantor under or in respect of the Finance Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Finance Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations
resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise; 
 (c) any taking, exchange,
release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

(d) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any
manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Guarantor under the Finance Documents or any other assets of any Guarantor or any of its
Subsidiaries; 
 (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Guarantor or any of its
Subsidiaries; 
 (f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Guarantor any information relating to the business, condition
(financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Guarantor now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information); 

  
 5 

 
  








 (g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty, any Guaranty Supplement
or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or 

(h) any other circumstance or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, any Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety. 
 This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, receivership, examinership,
administration or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 

Section 4. Waivers and Acknowledgments. 

(a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for
performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure
any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral. 

(b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is
continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. 
 (c) Each Guarantor hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and
(ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. 

(d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with the Loan Documents, without notice to or demand upon
such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable Law. 

(e) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any
matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Secured Party. 

  
 6 

 
  








 (f) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits
from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Finance Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 3 and this Section 4 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

(g) Each of the waivers of the Guarantors set forth in this Section 4 is made to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. 

Section 5. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now
have or hereafter acquire against any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower that is not a Guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations under
or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Finance Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured
Party against any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common Law, including, without limitation, the right to take
or receive from any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until
(a) all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than (x) (i) Cash Management Obligations and (ii) Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, and (y) contingent obligations not yet accrued and payable)
shall have been paid in full, (b) all Letters of Credit shall have been Cash Collateralized or otherwise back-stopped (including by “grandfathering” into any future credit facilities), in each case, on terms reasonably satisfactory to
the relevant L/C Issuer in its reasonable discretion, or shall have expired or been terminated, and (c) the Aggregate Commitments shall have expired or been terminated (clauses (a) through (c), collectively, “Full Satisfaction
of the Obligations”). If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the Full Satisfaction of the Obligations, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment)
to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed
Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. Upon Full Satisfaction of the Obligations, the Secured Parties will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate
documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this
Guaranty. 
 Section 6. Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, Etc. The provisions of Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement shall
apply without duplication to this Guaranty mutatis mutandis as if each Guarantor hereunder were a Borrower under the Credit Agreement. 

  
 7 

 
  








 Section 7. Covenants. Each Guarantor (other than each Borrower in its capacity as a
Borrower under the Credit Agreement) covenants and agrees that, unless and until Full Satisfaction of the Obligations, such Guarantor will perform and observe, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform and observe, all of the terms, covenants
and agreements set forth in the Loan Documents on its or their part to be performed or observed or that the Parent Borrower has agreed to cause such Guarantor or such Subsidiaries to perform or observe. 

Section 8. Amendments, Release of Guarantors, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty and no consent to any
departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors (with the consent of the requisite number of Lenders specified in the Credit
Agreement) and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. A Guarantor (other than each Borrower in its capacity as a Borrower under the Credit Agreement) shall
automatically be released from this Guaranty and its obligations hereunder upon consummation of any Disposition or other transaction or designation permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted
Subsidiary; provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor is a guarantor in respect of any Specified Junior Financing Obligations. The Administrative Agent will, at such Guarantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such
Guarantor such documents as such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee hereunder pursuant to this Section 8; provided that such Guarantor shall have delivered to the
Administrative Agent a written request therefor and a certificate of such Guarantor to the effect that the transaction is in compliance with the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized to rely on any such certificate without
independent investigation.

and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and (b) each reference herein to
“this Guaranty”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, and each reference in any other Loan Document to the
“Guaranty”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty
Supplement.

of this Guaranty or of any Guaranty Supplement to be executed hereunder by facsimile or electronic transmission (e.g. pdf or tif) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof. 

Section 11. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by Law. 
 Section 12. Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each other Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor
against any and all of the Obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether such Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document and although
such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify such Guarantor after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application. The rights of each Agent and each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Agent and such Lender may have. 

Section 13. Continuing Guaranty; Assignments under the Credit Agreement. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall
(a) remain in full force and effect until Full Satisfaction of the Obligations, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder,
to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their permitted respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer
all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person
shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 10.07 of the Credit Agreement. Except as expressly provided in the
Credit Agreement, no Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender. 

Section 14. Execution in Counterparts. This Guaranty and each amendment, waiver and consent with respect hereto may be executed in
any number of counterparts and by different parties thereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

[FORM OF] GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT 

[—], 20[—] 

Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent 
 390 Greenwich Street

 New York, NY 10013 
 Attention: 

Credit Agreement dated as of August 16, 2013 among 

inVentiv Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, 

inVentiv Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation, 

the other Borrowers party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and 

Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Reference is made to the
above-captioned Credit Agreement and to the Guaranty referred to therein (such Guaranty, as in effect on the date hereof and as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, together with this Guaranty Supplement
(the “Guaranty Supplement”), being the “Guaranty”). The capitalized terms defined in the Guaranty or in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as therein defined. 

Section 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) The undersigned hereby, jointly and severally with the other Guarantors,
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment, whether at scheduled maturity or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of any Borrower, each Loan Party guaranteeing the Obligations of any Borrower and
each other Restricted Subsidiary which is an obligor with respect to any Secured Hedge Agreements now or hereafter existing or any Cash Management Obligations (each a “Guarantor”) now or hereafter existing (including, without
limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities,
contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations, in each case excluding Excluded Swap Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty or any other Loan Document in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement (including reasonable fees, expenses and
disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel to the Administrative Agent); provided, that in no event shall the Guaranteed Obligations of any Guarantor include any of its obligations as a Borrower under the Credit Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the undersigned’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Guarantor to any Secured Party under or in respect of
the Finance Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, liquidation, receivership, examinership, reorganization, administration or similar proceeding involving such other Guarantor.


  
 A-1 

 
  








 (b) The undersigned, and by acceptance of this Guaranty Supplement, the Administrative Agent and
each other Secured Party, hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty and the Obligations of the undersigned hereunder and thereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for
purposes of Debtor Relief Laws, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar or analogous foreign, federal or state Law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty and the
Obligations of the undersigned hereunder and thereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties and the undersigned hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of the undersigned under this
Guaranty Supplement and the Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty Supplement and the Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. For
purposes hereof, “Debtor Relief Laws” means any proceeding of the type referred to in Section 8.01(f) of the Credit Agreement or Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar foreign, federal or state Law for the relief of debtors
or relating to liquidation, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, administration or examinership. 
 (c) The undersigned hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty, or any other guaranty, the undersigned will contribute, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable Law, such amounts to each other Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents. 

(d) To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations exceeding the greater of
(a) the amount of the economic benefit actually received by such Guarantor from the Loans and (b) the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding
the amount thereof repaid by the Borrowers) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth at the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors (taken together with the aggregate net worth of
all other “Guarantors” (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) obligated with respect to such Guaranteed Obligations (the “Other Guarantors”)) at the date of enforcement is sought hereunder,
then, each Other Guarantor shall reimburse such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worths of such Other Guarantors at the date enforcement hereunder is sought. 

(e) Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or
other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty in respect of any Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be
liable under this Section 1(e) for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 1(e), or otherwise under the Guaranty, voidable under applicable Law relating to
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP 

  
 A-2 

 
  








 
Guarantor under this Section 1(e) shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of this Guaranty in accordance with Section 13. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that
this Section 1(e) constitute, and this Section 1(e) shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity
Exchange Act. 
 Section 2. Obligations Under the Guaranty. The undersigned hereby agrees, as of the date first above written,
to be bound as a Guarantor by all of the terms and conditions of the Guaranty to the same extent as each of the other Guarantors thereunder. The undersigned further agrees, as of the date first above written, that each reference in the Guaranty to
an “Additional Guarantor” or a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “Loan Party” or a
“Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned. 
 Section 3. Delivery by Facsimile or
Electronic Transmission. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Guaranty Supplement by facsimile or electronic transmission (e.g. pdf or tif) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this
Guaranty Supplement. 
 Section 4. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc. (a) This
Guaranty Supplement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 
 (b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR
PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH
STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT, EACH GUARANTOR CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY
OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED
THERETO. 
 (c) EACH PARTY TO THIS GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND,
ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH
CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL 

  
 A-3 

 
  








 
WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 4 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO
THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents to the Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the Administrative Agent the Security Interest in such
Article 9 Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained.

 (b) The Perfection Certificate has been duly prepared, completed and executed and the information
set forth therein is correct and complete in all material respects (except the information therein with respect to the exact legal name of each Grantor shall be correct and complete in all respects) as of the Closing Date. Subject to
Section 3.01(e), the UCC financing statements or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations prepared by the Administrative Agent based upon the information provided to the Administrative Agent in the Perfection Certificate for
filing in the applicable filing office (or specified by notice from the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent after the Closing Date in the case of filings, recordings or registrations (other than filings required to be made in the USPTO and
the USCO in order to perfect the Security Interest in Article 9 Collateral consisting of US Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights), in each case, as required by Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement), are all the filings, recordings and
registrations that are necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be
perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the UCC, and no further or subsequent filing, re-filing, recording, rerecording, registration
or re-registration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable Law with respect to the filing of continuation statements. 

(c) Each Grantor represents and warrants that short-form Intellectual Property Security Agreements containing a description of all Article 9
Collateral consisting of material United States registered Patents, United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States registration applications are pending, unless it constitutes an Excluded Asset) and United States
registered Copyrights, respectively, have been delivered to the Administrative Agent for recording by the USPTO and the USCO pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as
applicable, (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of registrations and applications for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights. To the extent a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording
or registration in USPTO or USCO under the Federal intellectual property laws, then no further or subsequent filing, re-filing, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary (other than (i) such filings and actions as are
necessary to perfect the Security Interest with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (or registration or application for registration thereof) acquired or developed by any Grantor after the date hereof
and (ii) the UCC financing and continuation statements contemplated in Section 3.02(b)). 
 (d) The Security Interest constitutes
(i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(b), a perfected security interest in all
Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions
pursuant to the UCC, and (iii) subject to entering into any Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or any other control agreement (including each Block Control Agreement) with respect to any Deposit Account or
Securities Account (other than Excluded Accounts), a perfected security interest in all Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts and Designated Blocked Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) that require perfection by “control.” Subject to
Section 3.01(e) of this 

  
 -13- 








 
Agreement, the Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than (i) any statutory or similar Lien that has priority as a matter of Law
and (ii) any Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (e) The Article 9 Collateral is owned
by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement. None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous
document under the UCC or any other applicable Laws covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral
with the USPTO or the USCO or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office,
which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement and assignments
permitted by the Credit Agreement. 
 (f) As of the date hereof, no Grantor has any Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $2,500,000 in the
aggregate, other than the Commercial Tort Claims listed on Schedule 9 to the Perfection Certificate. 
 Section 3.03
Covenants. 
 (a) Subject to Section 3.01(e), each Grantor shall, at its own expense, upon the reasonable request of the
Administrative Agent, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Administrative Agent in the Article 9 Collateral and the
priority thereof against any Lien not expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Grantor from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of its
assets or properties if such discontinuance is (x) determined by such Grantor to be desirable in the conduct of its business and (y) permitted by the Credit Agreement. 

(b) Subject to Section 3.01(e), each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all
such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby,
including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements or other documents in connection herewith or
therewith. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral that is in excess of $2,500,000 in the aggregate shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note, other instrument or debt security, such note,
instrument or debt security shall, subject to Section 5.4 of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, be pledged and delivered to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties as required by Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement,
duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the Applicable First Lien Agent). 

  
 -14- 








 (c) At its option, subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent may
discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for
the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and within a reasonable period of time after the Administrative Agent has requested
that it do so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing
authorization; provided, however, the Grantors shall not be obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent with respect to any Intellectual Property that any Grantor has failed to maintain or pursue, or otherwise allowed to lapse,
terminate or be put into the public domain in accordance with Section 3.03(d)(iv). Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any
Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

 (d) Intellectual Property Covenants. 

(i) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Credit Agreement or with respect to registrations and applications
no longer used or useful, except to the extent failure to act would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect to registration or pending
application of each item of its Intellectual Property for which such Grantor has standing to do so, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the USPTO, the USCO and any other governmental
authority located in the United States, to pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in the Intellectual Property of such Grantor that are not Excluded
Assets. 
 (ii) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Credit Agreement, or with respect to registrations
and applications no longer used or useful, or except as would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly
omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property, excluding Excluded Assets, may lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain (or in the case of a trade secret, become publicly known). 

(iii) Other than as excluded or as not prohibited herein or in the Credit Agreement, or with respect to Patents, Copyrights or
Trademarks which are no longer used or useful in the applicable Grantor’s business operations or except where failure to do so would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property, 

  
 -15- 








 
including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products
and services as of the date hereof, and taking reasonable steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to standards of quality. 

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document prevents or
shall be deemed to prevent any Grantor from disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise allowing to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, any of its Intellectual Property to the extent
permitted by the Credit Agreement if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business. 

(v) Within the same delivery period as required for the delivery of the annual Compliance Certificate required to be delivered
under Section 6.02(b) of the Credit Agreement, the Parent Borrower shall provide a list of any additional registrations of Intellectual Property of all Grantors not previously disclosed to the Administrative Agent including such information as
is necessary for such Grantor to make appropriate filings in the USPTO and USCO. 
 (e) Commercial Tort Claims. If the Grantors shall at any
time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount reasonably estimated by such Grantor to exceed $1,000,000 individually or $2,500,000 in the aggregate for which this clause has not been satisfied and for which a complaint in a court of
competent jurisdiction has been filed, such Grantor shall within 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter in which such complaint was filed notify the Administrative Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor including a summary
description of such claim and, subject to Section 5.4 of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all
upon the terms of this Agreement. 
 Section 3.04 Second Priority Nature of Certain Liens. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the Lien and Security Interest granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be a second priority Lien on, and Security
Interest in, the First Lien Priority Collateral (as defined in and pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement). 
 Section 3.05
Amendments to Permit Holdings Pledge. At any time that the Parent Borrower or any Loan Party is (i) engaged in discussions with the administrative agent and the lenders under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement to amend or modify any
provisions of the Cash Flow Credit Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date or any other Cash Flow Loan Document thereunder, or (ii) negotiating the terms of any refinancing of the Cash Flow Credit Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date
or any other replacement Indebtedness in respect of the Indebtedness outstanding under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement, the Parent Borrower agrees to (x) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the terms of the Cash Flow Credit Agreement or
any other Cash Flow Loan Document to be amended to permit, or (y) cause the documents governing any Indebtedness described in clause (ii) above to permit, Holdings to 

  
 -16- 








 
create, incur, assume or suffer to exist Liens on the Equity Interests of the Parent Borrower in favor of the Administrative Agent. Promptly upon such amendment or such documents becoming
effective, the Parent Borrower shall cause Holdings to execute and deliver the Holdings Pledge to the Administrative Agent and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Holdings Pledge shall be subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. Upon
the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, if the Holdings Pledge has not otherwise been executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower shall promptly cause Holdings to execute and deliver the Holdings Pledge to the
Administrative Agent. 
 ARTICLE IV 

REMEDIES 

Section 4.01 Remedies Upon Default. Subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations, including the Guarantees, under the UCC or other
applicable Law and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent promptly, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent
and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by
any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under Law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation;
provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such occupancy; (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or
otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such exercise; and (iv) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the
notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or
for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who
will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Administrative Agent shall have the right to
assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each
Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted. 

The Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice
within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale 

  
 -17- 








 
of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state
the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary
business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of
sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale,
and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by
the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so
sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the
extent permitted by Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by Law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for
sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and
dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to
carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an
agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at Law or in
equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions. 

Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the
Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default (provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to, to the
extent reasonably practicable, or otherwise promptly after, exercising such rights), for the purpose of (i) making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor
on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies if insurance, (ii) making all 

  
 -18- 








 
determinations and decisions with respect thereto and (iii) obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance required by Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement or to pay any premium in
whole or in part relating thereto. All sums disbursed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, within 10
days of demand, by the Grantors to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby. 
 Section 4.02
Application of Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with
Section 2.05(b)(ii) or Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement, as applicable. 
 The Administrative Agent shall have absolute
discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a
judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see
to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. 

The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on information supplied to it as
to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Secured Obligations, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any
information so supplied. All distributions made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Administrative Agent shall
have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Administrative Agent of any amounts distributed to it. 
 Section 4.03 Grant of
License to Use Intellectual Property. For the exclusive purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights
and remedies at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent a non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license (until the termination or cure of the Event of Default) for cash,
upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including
in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that all of the
foregoing rights of the Administrative Agent to use such licenses, sublicenses and other rights, and (to the extent permitted by the terms of such licenses and sublicenses) all licenses and sublicenses granted thereunder, shall expire immediately
upon the termination or cure of all Events of Default and shall be exercised by the Administrative Agent solely during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the applicable Grantor, and nothing
in this Section 4.03 shall require Grantors to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of 

  
 -19- 








 
law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document
evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, with respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to the relevant Grantor; provided, further, that
such licenses granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to restrictions, including, without limitation restrictions as to goods or services associated with such Trademarks and the maintenance of quality standards with respect to
the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used, sufficient to preserve the validity and value of such Trademarks. For the avoidance of doubt, the use of such license by the Administrative Agent may be exercised, at the option of the
Administrative Agent, only during the continuation of an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may also exercise the rights afforded under Section 4.01 of this
Agreement with respect to Intellectual Property contained in the Article 9 Collateral. 
 ARTICLE V 

SUBORDINATION 

Section 5.01 Subordination. 

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Grantors to indemnity, contribution or subrogation
under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations. No failure on the part of the Borrowers or any Grantor to make the payments required under applicable law or otherwise shall in
any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder. 

(b) Each Grantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after notice from the
Administrative Agent, all Indebtedness owed to it by any other Grantor shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations. 

ARTICLE VI 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 6.01 Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in
writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the Borrowers or any other Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Parent Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the
Credit Agreement. 
 Section 6.02 Waivers; Amendment. 

(a) No failure or delay by any Secured Party 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 partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege 

  
 -20- 








 
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 of the Secured Parties herein
provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan, the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the provision of services under Secured Hedge Agreements shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any
Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be
waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any
consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement. 
 Section 6.03 Administrative Agent’s Fees and
Expenses; Indemnification. 
 (a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder and indemnity for its actions in connection herewith as provided in Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Credit Agreement. 

(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral
Documents. The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.
All amounts due under this Section 6.03 shall be payable within 10 days of written demand therefor. 
 Section 6.04 Successors
and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns to the extent required or permitted by Section 9.06 or Section 10.07 of the
Credit Agreement. 
 Section 6.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the
Grantors hereunder and in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the
Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit and the provision of services under Secured Hedge Agreements, regardless of any investigation made by
any Secured Party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as this
Agreement has not been terminated or released pursuant to Section 6.12 below. 

  
 -21- 








 Section 6.06 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic communication of an executed counterpart of a
signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have
been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted
successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer
its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a
separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor
hereunder. 
 Section 6.07 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the
legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 6.08 Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Secured Parties provided
by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Secured Party is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Grantor, any such notice being waived by each Grantor 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) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Secured Party to or for the credit or the
account of the respective Grantors against any and all obligations owing to such Secured Party hereunder, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made demand under this Agreement and although such
obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify the applicable Grantor and the Administrative Agent after any such
set-off and application made by such Secured Party; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 6.08 are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Secured Party may have at Law.

jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms. 

(b) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 6.01. Nothing

Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement,
any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all
or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any
Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement. 
 Section 6.12
Termination or Release. 
 (a) This Agreement, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate
with respect to all Secured Obligations and any Liens arising therefrom shall be automatically released upon all of the Secured Obligations (other than (x) (i) Cash Management Obligations and (ii) Secured Obligations under Secured
Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, and (y) contingent obligations not yet accrued and payable) having been paid in full, all Letters of Credit having been Cash Collateralized or otherwise back-stopped (including by

expired or having been terminated. 
 (b) A Grantor (other than the Parent Borrower) shall automatically be released from its obligations
hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Grantor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Grantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the
Parent Borrower or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary; provided that the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction (but only if and to the extent required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide
otherwise. 

  
 -23- 








 (c) Subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, (i) upon any sale or transfer
by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement (other than a sale or transfer to another Loan Party), (ii) upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in
any Collateral pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement or (iii) as required pursuant to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released. 

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 6.12, the
Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release and shall perform such other actions reasonably requested
by such Grantor to effect such release, including delivery of certificates, securities and instruments. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6.12 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

 Section 6.13 Additional Grantors. Pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement, certain additional Restricted
Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower may be required to enter in this Agreement as Grantors. Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and a Restricted Subsidiary of a Security Agreement Supplement, such Restricted Subsidiary shall
become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each
Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement. 

Section 6.14 Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent the
attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof at
any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default and notice by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution either in the Administrative
Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof;

all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to
require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Administrative Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to
do all other acts and things necessary to 

  
 -24- 








 
carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing
herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Administrative Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Administrative Agent, or to present or file any
claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be
accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act
hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct or that of any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents or attorneys-in-fact, in each case, as determined by a final nonappealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 Section 6.15 General Authority of the Administrative Agent. By acceptance of
the benefits of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and under
such other Collateral Documents, (b) to confirm that the Administrative Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement and such other Collateral
Documents against any Grantor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder or thereunder relating to any Collateral or any Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto,
(c) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document against any Grantor, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or
thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document and (d) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents. 

Section 6.16 Reasonable Care. The Administrative Agent is required to use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any
of the Collateral in its possession; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have used reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially similar
to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property. 
 Section 6.17 Delegation; Limitation. The Administrative
Agent may execute any of the powers granted under this Agreement and perform any duty hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact, and shall not be responsible for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any agents
or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 Section 6.18
Reinstatement. The obligations of the Grantors under this Security Agreement shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers or other Loan Party in respect of the Secured
Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Secured Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. 

  
 -25- 








 Section 6.19 Miscellaneous. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
actual, constructive, direct or indirect notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received a notice of Event of Default or a notice from the Grantor or the Secured Parties to
the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent indicating that an Event of Default has occurred. 
 Section 6.20
ABL Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent
hereunder, are subject to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ABL Intercreditor Agreement”), among the

 Exhibit I to the 

Security Agreement 
 [FORM OF]
SECURITY AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT 
 SUPPLEMENT, dated as of
[                    ], to the Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), dated as of August 16, 2013, among the Grantors
identified therein and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. 
 A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 16,
2013 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among inVentiv Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”) inVentiv Health, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Parent Borrower”), the entities listed in Schedule II thereto (each a “Co-Borrower” and, together with the Parent Borrower, the “Borrowers” and each, a
“Borrower”), each lender from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually, each a “Lender”), and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C
Issuer. 
 B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit
Agreement and the Security Agreement. 
 C. The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make
Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit. Section 6.13 of the Security Agreement provides that additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower may become Grantors under the Security Agreement by execution and delivery of
an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned (the “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Grantor under the Security Agreement in order to
induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued. 

Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.13 of the Security Agreement, the New Grantor by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the
Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and
(b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment and
performance in full of the Secured Obligations, does hereby create and grant to the Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the
New Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) of the New Grantor. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Grantor. The
Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 







 SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity. 
 SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different
parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received
a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Grantor and the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other electronic
communication shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement. 
 SECTION 4. The New Grantor hereby
represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the information required by the schedules of the Perfection Certificate and (b) set forth under its signature hereto is the true and
correct legal name of the New Grantor, its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office. 
 SECTION 5. Except as
expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
 SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 7. In case any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall
endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 6.01 of the Security Agreement.

 SECTION 9. The New Grantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent.

right of first refusal, shareholders agreement, charter or by-law provisions or contractual restriction of any nature that might prohibit, impair, delay or otherwise affect in any manner material and adverse to the Secured Parties the pledge of such
Pledged Collateral hereunder, the sale or disposition thereof pursuant hereto or the exercise by the Administrative Agent of rights and remedies hereunder; 

(e) the execution and performance by Holdings of this Agreement are within Holdings’ corporate or other powers and have been duly

Administrative Agent as secured party and describing the Pledged Collateral and (ii) the approvals, consents, exemptions, authorizations, actions, notices and filings which have been duly obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and

security interest in such Pledged Equity as security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations to the extent such perfection is governed by the UCC subject only to Liens permitted by Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement; and

 (h) the pledge effected hereby is effective to vest in the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the rights of
the Administrative Agent in the Pledged Collateral to the extent intended hereby. 
 Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the ABL
Intercreditor Agreement, Holdings hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it will comply with instructions of the Administrative Agent with respect to the Equity Interests in Holdings that constitute

 Section 2.05 Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest. (a) Unless and until an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have provided prior notice to Holdings, subject to Section 5.4 of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, that its rights under this Section 2.05 are being
suspended: 
 (i) Holdings shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring
to an owner of Pledged Equity or any part thereof and Holdings agrees that it shall exercise such rights for purposes consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

(ii) The Administrative Agent shall promptly (after reasonable advance notice) execute and deliver to Holdings, or cause to be
executed and delivered to Holdings, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as Holdings may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Holdings to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to
exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above. 
 (iii) Holdings shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all
dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Equity to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid
or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Laws; provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute
Pledged Equity, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Equity or received in exchange for Pledged Equity or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof,
or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by Holdings, shall not be commingled by
Holdings with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and shall be promptly (and in any event within 10 Business
Days) delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent). So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to Holdings any Pledged Equity in its possession if requested to be delivered to the issuer thereof in connection with any exchange or redemption of such Pledged Equity permitted by the Credit Agreement in
accordance with this Section 2.05(a)(iii). 
 (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the
Administrative Agent shall have notified Holdings of the suspension of its 

  
 5 








 
rights under paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.05, subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, then all rights of Holdings to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that
Holdings is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.05 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to
receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by Holdings contrary to the provisions of this Section 2.05 shall be held in trust for the benefit
of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of Holdings and, subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, shall be promptly (and in any event within 10 days) delivered to the Administrative Agent upon demand in the
same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent). Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Administrative Agent in an account to be established by the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.02. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Administrative Agent shall promptly repay to Holdings (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that Holdings would
otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.05 and that remain in such account. 

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Administrative Agent shall have provided Holdings with
notice of the suspension of its rights under paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.05 then all rights of Holdings to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this
Section 2.05, and the obligations of the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.05, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive
right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the
continuance of an Event of Default to permit Holdings to exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, Holdings shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that Holdings
would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above, and the obligations of the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.05 shall be reinstated. 

(d) Any notice given by the Administrative Agent to Holdings under Section 2.04 or Section 2.05 shall be given in writing and may
suspend the rights of Holdings under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.05 in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or
otherwise affecting the Administrative Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 ARTICLE III 

REMEDIES 

Section 3.01 Remedies Upon Default. Subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations, including the Guarantees of the Guarantors, under
the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law and also may (i) exercise any and all rights and remedies of Holdings under or in connection with the Pledged Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Pledged Collateral;
provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide Holdings with notice thereof prior to such exercise; and (ii) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice requirements described below, sell or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the
Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree
that they are purchasing the Pledged Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer
and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Pledged Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of Holdings, and Holdings
hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which Holdings now has or may at any time in the future have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted. 

The Administrative Agent shall give Holdings 10 days’ written notice (which Holdings agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of
Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of Pledged Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and,
in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Pledged Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such
board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Pledged
Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any
sale of any Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Pledged Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or
private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of
all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the
Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or 

  
 7 








 
purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the
extent permitted by Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of Holdings (all said
rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by Law), the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from
Holdings as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to Holdings therefor. For purposes hereof, a written
agreement to purchase the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and Holdings shall not be entitled to the return of the
Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in
full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at Law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof
pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.01 shall be deemed to conform to the
commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions. 
 Holdings
irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as its true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default
(provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide Holdings with notice thereof prior to, to the extent reasonably practicable, or otherwise promptly after, exercising such rights), for the purpose of (i) endorsing the name of
Holdings on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment representing or included in the Pledged Collateral and (ii) making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. All sums disbursed by the Administrative Agent in
connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, within 10 days of demand, by Holdings to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured
Obligations secured hereby. 
 Section 3.02 Application of Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement,
the Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Pledged Collateral, including any Pledged Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement. 

The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance
with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Pledged Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale
shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Pledged Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative
Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. 

  
 8 








 The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken
in reliance on information supplied to it as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Secured Obligations, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent Holdings from contesting any
amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest
error), and the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Administrative Agent of any amounts distributed to it. 

ARTICLE IV 

SUBORDINATION 

Section 4.01 Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of Holdings to,
contribution or subrogation against the Parent Borrower or a Guarantor of any of the Secured Obligations or any security for any of the Secured Obligations shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations. 

(b) Holdings hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after notice from the Administrative
Agent, all Indebtedness owed to it by Borrowers and the Guarantors shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations. 

ARTICLE V 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 5.01 Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in
writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to Holdings shall be given to it in care of the Parent Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. 

Section 5.02 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by any Secured Party 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 partial exercise of any such 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 of the Secured Parties herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by Law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by Holdings therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 5.02, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the 

  
 9 








 
foregoing, the making of a Loan, the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the provision of services under Secured Hedge Agreements shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of
whether any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision
hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and Holdings, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.

 Section 5.03 Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto agree that the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder and indemnity for its actions in connection herewith as provided in Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Credit Agreement. 

(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral
Documents. The provisions of this Section 5.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.
All amounts due under this Section 5.03 shall be payable within 10 days of written demand therefor. 
 Section 5.04 Successors
and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns to the extent required or permitted by Section 9.06 or Section 10.07 of the
Credit Agreement. 
 Section 5.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by
Holdings hereunder and in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the
Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit and the provision of services under Secured Hedge Agreements, regardless of any investigation made by
any Secured Party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as this
Agreement has not been terminated or released pursuant to Section 5.12 below. 
 Section 5.06 Counterparts; Effectiveness;
Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic
communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to Holdings when a counterpart hereof
executed on behalf of Holdings 

  
 10 








 
shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon Holdings and
the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Holdings, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that
Holdings shall not have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Pledged Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or
the Credit Agreement. 
 Section 5.07 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 5.08 Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the
Secured Parties provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Secured Party is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Holdings, any such notice being waived by Holdings
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) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Secured Party to or for
the credit or the account of Holdings against any and all obligations owing to such Secured Party hereunder, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made demand under this Agreement and although such
obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify Holdings and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and
application made by such Secured Party; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 5.08 are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Secured Party may have at Law.

Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The terms of Sections 10.16 and 10.17 of the Credit Agreement with respect to governing law, submission of jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial are
incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 5.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

warranty by the Administrative Agent.

Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution either in the Administrative Agent’s name or in the name of Holdings (a) to receive, endorse,
assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give

sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Pledged Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as
though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Pledged Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Administrative Agent to make any commitment or
to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Administrative Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or
to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and
neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Holdings for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct or that of any of their Affiliates,
directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents or attorneys-in-fact, in each case, as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

Section 5.14 General Authority of the Administrative Agent. By acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and any other
Collateral Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Collateral Documents, (b) to
confirm that the Administrative Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement and such other Collateral Documents against Holdings, the exercise of remedies
hereunder or thereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder or thereunder relating to any Pledged Collateral or Holdings’ obligations with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it shall not take any action to
enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document against Holdings, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or
any other Collateral Document and (d) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents. 

Section 5.15 Reasonable Care. The Administrative Agent is required to use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any
of the Pledged Collateral in its possession; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have used reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Pledged Collateral, if such Pledged Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially similar to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property. 

  
 13 








 Section 5.16 Delegation; Limitation. The Administrative Agent may execute any of the
powers granted under this Agreement and perform any duty hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact, and shall not be responsible for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected
by it with reasonable care and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 Section 5.17 Reinstatement. The obligations of
Holdings under this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers or other Loan Party in respect of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise
restored by any holder of any of the Secured Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. 

Section 5.18 Miscellaneous. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect notice
or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received a notice of Event of Default or a notice from Holdings or the Secured Parties to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as
Administrative Agent indicating that an Event of Default has occurred. 
 Section 5.19 ABL Intercreditor Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder, are subject to the
provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement dated as of August 16, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ABL Intercreditor Agreement”), among the Administrative Agent,

defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) from time to time party thereto. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern
and control.

JOINDER AGREEMENT, dated as of                 ,
20     (this “Agreement”), by and among [NEW REVOLVING CREDIT LENDERS] (each, an “Incremental Lender” and, collectively, the “Incremental Lenders”), [APPLICABLE BORROWERS] (the
“Borrowers”), and CITIBANK, N.A. (the “Administrative Agent”). 
 RECITALS: 

WHEREAS, reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of August 16, 2013 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or
otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among inVentiv Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, inVentiv Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation, each of the entities listed in Schedule II thereto, each
as Co-Borrower, each Lender from time to time party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer (capitalized terms used but not defined herein having the meaning provided in the Credit Agreement). 

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers may establish Incremental Commitments (the
“Incremental Commitments”) with Incremental Lenders; and 
 WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit
Agreement, Incremental Lenders shall become Lenders pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
premises and agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 Each Incremental Lender
(i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make
its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Incremental Lender or any other Lender or Agent and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action
as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and
(iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 

Upon (i) the execution of a counterpart of this Agreement by each Incremental Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers and
(ii) the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a fully executed counterpart (including by way of facsimile or other electronic transmission) hereof, each of the undersigned Incremental Lenders shall become Lenders under the Credit Agreement.

This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed and delivered on behalf of each
of the parties hereto. 
 This Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the

provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable. 

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the
same agreement. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including via emailed pdf or similar file) of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this agreement shall be effective as an original executed counterpart of this

FORM OF L/C ISSUER AGREEMENT 

L/C ISSUER AGREEMENT dated as of                 ,
20    , among INVENTIV HEALTH, INC. (the “Parent Borrower”), each of the entities listed on Schedule II of the Credit Agreement (as defined below) (each, a “Co-Borrower” and, together with the
Parent Borrower, the “Borrowers” and each, a “Borrower”), [            ], as letter of credit issuer (in such capacity, the “L/C Issuer”)
and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lenders under the Credit Agreement dated as of August 16, 2013 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrowers,
inVentiv Holdings, Inc., each Lender from time to time party thereto, the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lenders. 

This Agreement constitutes an L/C Issuer Agreement under and as defined in the Credit Agreement. Each capitalized term used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 1. Letter of Credit
Commitment. The L/C Issuer hereby agrees to be an “L/C Issuer” under the Credit Agreement with a commitment to issue Letters of Credit in the amount set forth in Schedule I hereto and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof
and of the Credit Agreement, to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer hereunder shall be subject to the limitations set forth on Schedule I hereto and in the
Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 2. Issuance Procedure. In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit by the L/C Issuer,
the Parent Borrower or the Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit shall hand deliver, fax or transmit via electronic means (in a form reasonably acceptable to the L/C Issuer) a notice (specifying the information required by Section 2.03(b)
of the Credit Agreement) to the L/C Issuer, at its address or facsimile number specified on Schedule I hereto (or such other address or facsimile number as the L/C Issuer may specify by notice to the Parent Borrower), not later than the time of day
(local time at such address) specified on Schedule I hereto prior to the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. A copy of such notice shall be sent, concurrently, by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified for
borrowing requests under the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 3. L/C Issuer Fees, Interest and Payments. The standard fees with respect
to the issuance, amendment, renewal, transfer or extension of any letter of credit or processing of drawings thereunder (“L/C Issuer Fees”) referred to in Section 2.03(i) of the Credit Agreement, which are payable to the L/C
Issuer in respect of Letters of Credit issued hereunder, are specified on Schedule I hereto (it being understood that such fees shall be in addition to the L/C Issuer’s customary fronting fee and documentary and processing charges referred to
in Section 2.03(j) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder). Each payment of L/C Issuer Fees payable hereunder shall be made not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when
due, in immediately available funds, to the account of the L/C Issuer specified on Schedule I hereto or to such other Lender specified on Schedule I hereto (or to such other account of the L/C Issuer as it may specify by notice to the Parent
Borrower). 







 SECTION 4. Credit Agreement Terms. Notwithstanding any provision hereof which may be
construed to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed that (a) this Agreement is supplemental to the Credit Agreement and is intended to constitute an L/C Issuer Agreement, as defined therein (and, as such, constitutes an integral
part of the Credit Agreement as though the terms of this Agreement, subject to clause (d) below, were set forth in such Credit Agreement), (b) each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and each L/C Credit Extension made under any such Letter
of Credit shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” and an “L/C Credit Extension,” respectively, for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, (c) the L/C Issuer’s commitment to issue Letters of Credit hereunder,
and each and every Letter of Credit requested or issued hereunder, shall in each case be subject to the terms and conditions and entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement and (d) the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement are
hereby incorporated herein as though set forth herein in full and shall supersede any contrary provisions hereof. 
 SECTION 5.
Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed or sent by electronic communication or facsimile transmission as provided in Section 10.02 of the
Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 6. Binding Agreement; Assignments. (a) This Agreement and the terms, covenants and conditions
hereof shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Borrowers and the L/C Issuer shall not be permitted to assign this Agreement or any interest herein without the
prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement other than as set forth in Section 6(b). 
 (b) The L/C Issuer may not
assign its commitment to issue Letters of Credit hereunder without the consent of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In the event of an assignment by the L/C Issuer of all its other interests, rights and obligations under the Credit
Agreement, then the L/C Issuer’s commitment to issue Letters of Credit hereunder in respect of the Credit Agreement shall terminate unless the L/C Issuer, the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree. 

SECTION 7. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK. 
 SECTION 8. Survival of Agreement. 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 and of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder or thereunder. Such representations and warranties
have been or will be relied upon by the L/C Issuer, regardless of any investigation made by the L/C Issuer or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Letter of Credit
issuance, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding and unpaid and
so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. 

  
 2 








 SECTION 9. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

SECTION 10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including via emailed pdf or similar file) of an executed counterpart of a
signature page to this agreement shall be effective as an original executed counterpart of this agreement. 
 SECTION 11. Conflicts.
To the extent that the terms and conditions of this Agreement conflict with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement shall control. 

[THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

exercise (but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally waived for the duration of the First Lien Standstill Period), any rights, powers, or remedies with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral (including
(A) any right of set-off or any right under any Account Agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the First Lien Agents or any First Lien Claimholder is a party, (B) any right to

(A) shall have commenced, whether before or after the expiration of such 180-day period, and be diligently pursuing the exercise of their rights, powers, or remedies with respect to all or any material portion of the ABL Collateral (prompt
written notice of such exercise to be given to the Credit Agreement Agent, the Notes Agent and any Additional First Lien Agent), or (B) shall have been stayed by operation of law or any court order from pursuing any such exercise of remedies
(the period during which the First Lien Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders may not pursuant to this Section 3.1(a)(i) exercise any rights, powers, or remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, the “First Lien
Standstill Period”); 
 (ii) will not, directly or indirectly, contest, protest or object to or hinder any judicial
or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding or action (including any partial or complete strict foreclosure) brought by the ABL Agent or any other ABL Claimholder relating to the ABL Priority Collateral or any other exercise by the ABL Agent or any other

(iv) except as may be permitted in Section 3.1(c), irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waive any and all
rights the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object (and seek or be awarded any relief of any nature whatsoever based on any such objection) to the manner in which the ABL Agent or
the ABL Claimholders (A) enforce or collect (or attempt to collect) the ABL Obligations or (B) realize or seek to realize upon or otherwise enforce the Liens in and to the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations, regardless of
whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the ABL Agent or ABL Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the First Lien
Claimholders shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right to object (and seek or be awarded any relief of any nature whatsoever based on any such objection), at any time prior or subsequent to any
disposition of any of the ABL Priority Collateral, on the ground(s) that any such disposition of ABL Priority Collateral (x) would not be or was not “commercially reasonable” within the meaning of any applicable UCC and/or
(y) would not or did not comply with any other requirement under any applicable UCC or under any other applicable law governing the manner in which a secured creditor (including one with a Lien on real property) is to realize on its collateral;
and 
 (v) subject to Section 3.1(a) and (c), acknowledge and agree that no covenant, agreement or
restriction contained in the First Lien Security Documents or any other First Lien Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders with respect to the ABL
Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the ABL Loan Documents; 
 provided, however, that, in the case of (i), (ii) and
(iii) above, the Liens granted to secure the First Lien Obligations of the First Lien Claimholders shall attach to any Proceeds resulting from actions taken by the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral in
accordance with this Agreement after application of such Proceeds to the extent necessary to meet the requirements of a Discharge of ABL Obligations. 

(b) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any
Grantor, the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders shall have the right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off and the right to credit bid their debt) and, in connection therewith (including voluntary Dispositions of ABL Priority
Collateral by the respective Grantors after an ABL Default) make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the First Lien Agents or
any First Lien

Claimholder; provided, however, that the Lien securing the First Lien Obligations shall remain on the Proceeds (other than those properly applied to the ABL Obligations in
accordance with Section 4.1) of such ABL Priority Collateral released or disposed of subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2.1. In exercising rights, powers, and remedies with respect to the ABL Priority
Collateral, the ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the ABL Loan Documents and exercise rights, powers, and/or remedies thereunder and/or under applicable law or otherwise, all in such order and in such manner as they
may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of the ABL Priority Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in
connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(i) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the First Lien Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor; 
 (ii) take any action (not adverse to the priority
status of the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral, or the rights of the ABL Agent or any of the ABL Claimholders to exercise rights, powers, and/or remedies in respect thereof, including those under Article VI) in order to create, perfect, preserve
or protect (but not enforce) its Lien on any of the ABL Priority Collateral; 
 (iii) file any necessary or appropriate
responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the First Lien Claimholders, including any claims

 (iv) file any
pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction) and any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to secured creditors
solely with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral; 
 (v) vote on any Plan of Reorganization, file any proof of
claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions (including in support of or opposition to, as applicable, the confirmation or approval of any Plan of Reorganization) that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, any vote to accept, and any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization shall be
inconsistent with and accordingly, a 

  
 22 








 
violation of the terms of this Agreement, and the ABL Agent shall be entitled to have any such vote to accept a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization changed and any such support of any
Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization withdrawn; 
 (vi) exercise any of the rights, powers and/or remedies with respect to
any of the ABL Priority Collateral after the termination of the First Lien Standstill Period to the extent permitted by Section 3.1(a)(i); and 

(vii) take any action described in clauses (iii), (vi) and (viii) of the definition of
“Enforcement.”

receive any ABL Priority Collateral (including Proceeds) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to ABL Priority Collateral in its capacity as a creditor in violation of this Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.1(a)(i) and 6.7 and clause (vi) of Section 3.1(c), the sole
right of the First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on such Collateral pursuant to the First Lien Security Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to
receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, in accordance with Section 4.1. 
 (d) Except as otherwise specifically set
forth in Sections 3.1(a), 3.4 and 3.5 and Article VI, the First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor and may exercise rights and remedies with
respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that any First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder
becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of ABL Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the First Lien Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the ABL Obligations) as the other Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement. 

(e) Except as provided in Section 5.3(d), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any First Lien Agent or any
other First Lien Claimholders of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the First Lien Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by such First Lien Agent or
any First Lien Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) with respect to ABL Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Agreement impairs
or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders may have against the Grantors under the ABL Loan Documents. 

  
 23

waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder is a party, (B) any right to undertake self-help repossession or nonjudicial disposition of any First Lien Priority Collateral

objection) to the manner in which any First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders (a) enforce or collect (or attempt to collect) the First Lien Obligations or (b) realize or seek to realize upon or otherwise enforce the Liens in and to
the First Lien Priority Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First Lien Agents or First Lien Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the ABL Claimholders.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the ABL Claimholders shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally waived any right to object (and seek or be awarded any relief of any nature whatsoever based on any
such objection), at any time prior to or subsequent to any disposition of any First Lien Priority Collateral, on the ground(s) that any such disposition of First Lien Priority Collateral (a) would not be or was not “commercially
reasonable” within the meaning of any applicable UCC and/or (b) would not or did not comply with any other requirement under any applicable UCC or under any other applicable law governing the manner in which a secured creditor (including
one with a Lien on real property) is to realize on its collateral; and 
 (v) subject to Sections 3.2(a) and
(c) and Sections 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5, acknowledge and agree that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the ABL Security Documents or any other ABL Loan Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed
to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First Lien Documents; 

provided, however, that in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Liens granted to secure the ABL Obligations of the ABL
Claimholders shall attach to any Proceeds resulting from actions taken by the First Lien Agents or any First Lien Claimholder with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral in accordance with this Agreement after application of such Proceeds to
the extent necessary to meet the requirements of a Discharge of First Lien Obligations. 
 (b) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations
has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, the First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders shall have the right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off
and the right to credit bid their debt) and make, in connection therewith (including voluntary Dispositions of First Lien Priority Collateral by the respective Grantors after a First Lien Default) determinations regarding the release, disposition,
or restrictions with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder subject to the First Lien Agents’ and the First Lien Claimholders’ obligations under
Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5; provided, however, that the Lien securing the ABL Obligations shall remain on the Proceeds (other than those properly applied to the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the
First Lien Documents) of such First Lien Priority Collateral released or disposed of subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2.1. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral, the
First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the First Lien Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they 

  
 25 








 
may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion subject to the First Lien Agents’ and the First Lien Claimholders’ obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4 and
3.5. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of the First Lien Priority Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and
to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the ABL Agent and any ABL Claimholder may: 

(i) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the ABL Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor; 
 (ii) take any action (not adverse to the priority
status of the Liens on the First Lien Priority Collateral, or the rights of the First Lien Agents or any of the First Lien Claimholders to exercise rights, powers and/or remedies in respect thereof, including those under Article VI) in order
to create, perfect, preserve or protect (but, subject to the provisions of Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, not enforce) its Lien on any of the First Lien Priority Collateral; 

(iii) file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary
proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the ABL Claimholders, including any claims secured by the First Lien Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement; 
 (iv) file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests
available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law (including the
Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction) and any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to secured creditors solely with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral; 

(v) vote on any Plan of Reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions
(including in support of or opposition to, as applicable, the confirmation or approval of any Plan of Reorganization) that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of the
other provisions of this Agreement, any vote to accept, and any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization shall be inconsistent with and, accordingly, a violation of the terms of this Agreement,
and each First Lien Agent shall be entitled to have any such vote to accept a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization changed and any such support of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization withdrawn; 

  
 26 








 (vi) exercise any of its rights, powers, and/or remedies with respect to any of
the First Lien Priority Collateral to the extent permitted by Sections 3.2(a)(i), 3.3, and 3.4; and 

(vii) take any action described in clauses (i) through (viii) of the definition of “Enforcement.” 

The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, agrees that no ABL Claimholder will take or receive any First Lien Priority Collateral (including Proceeds)
in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any First Lien Priority Collateral in its capacity as a creditor in violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and
until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.2(a)(i), 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 and clause (vi) of this Section 3.2(c), the sole right of the ABL
Agent and the ABL Claimholders with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on such Collateral pursuant to the ABL Security Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds
thereof, if any, in accordance with Section 4.1. 
 (d) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Sections 3.2(a) and
3.5 and Article VI, the ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor and may exercise rights and remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case, in
accordance with the terms of the ABL Loan Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that any the ABL Agent or ABL Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of First Lien Priority Collateral as a
result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the ABL Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the First Lien Obligations) as the
other Liens securing the ABL Obligations are subject to this Agreement. 
 (e) Except as provided in Section 5.3(c), nothing in
this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholders of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the ABL Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result
of the exercise by the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) with respect to First Lien Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of
them. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders may have against the Grantors under the First Lien Documents. 

3.3. Collateral Access Rights. 

(a) The ABL Agent and each First Lien Agent agree not to commence Enforcement or Going Out of Business Sale until an Enforcement Notice has
been given to the other Agents. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2, any Agent may join in any judicial proceedings commenced by any other Agent to enforce Liens on the Collateral, provided that no Agent, nor the
other ABL Claimholders or the other First Lien Claimholders, as applicable, shall interfere with the Enforcement actions of the other with respect to Collateral in which such party has the priority Lien in accordance with Section 2.1 and
Section 2.2. 

  
 27 








 (b) If the Applicable First Lien Agent, or any agent or representative of the Applicable First
Lien Agent, or any receiver, shall, after any First Lien Default, obtain possession or physical control of any of the Mortgaged Premises, the Applicable First Lien Agent shall promptly notify the ABL Agent in writing of that fact, and the ABL Agent
shall, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, notify the Applicable First Lien Agent in writing as to whether the ABL Agent desires to exercise access rights under this Agreement. In addition, if the ABL Agent, or any agent or representative
or the ABL Agent, or any receiver, shall obtain possession or physical control of any of the Mortgaged Premises or any of the tangible First Lien Priority Collateral located on any premises other than a Mortgaged Premises or control over any
intangible First Lien Priority Collateral, following the delivery to the Applicable First Lien Agent of an Enforcement Notice, then the ABL Agent shall promptly notify the Applicable First Lien Agent in writing that the ABL Agent is exercising its
access rights under this Agreement and its rights under Section 3.4 under either circumstance. Upon delivery of such notice by the ABL Agent to the Applicable First Lien Agent, the parties shall confer in good faith to coordinate with
respect to the ABL Agent’s exercise of such access rights. Consistent with the definition of “Access Period,” access rights will apply to differing parcels of Mortgaged Premises at differing times, in which case, a differing Access
Period will apply to each such property. 
 (c) During any pertinent Access Period, the ABL Agent and the Company and their Subsidiaries,
with the consent of the ABL Agent in connection with a Going Out of Business Sale, and their agents, representatives and designees shall have an irrevocable, non-exclusive right to have access to, and a rent-free right to use, the First Lien
Priority Collateral for the purpose of (i) arranging for and effecting the sale or disposition of ABL Priority Collateral located on such parcel, including the production, completion, packaging and other preparation of such ABL Priority
Collateral for sale or disposition, (ii) selling (by public auction, private sale or a “store closing”, Going Out of Business Sale or similar sale, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or
otherwise and which sale may include augmented Inventory of the same type sold in any Grantor’s business), (iii) storing or otherwise dealing with the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or
interference by the First Lien Agents or any First Lien Claimholder or liability to the First Lien Agents or any First Lien Claimholder. During any such Access Period, the ABL Agent and its representatives (and persons employed on their behalf), may
continue to operate, service, maintain, process and sell the ABL Priority Collateral, as well as to engage in bulk sales of ABL Priority Collateral. The ABL Agent shall take proper and reasonable care under the circumstances of any First Lien
Priority Collateral that is used by the ABL Agent during the Access Period and repair and replace any damage (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by the ABL Agent or its agents, representatives or designees and the ABL Agent shall comply with
all applicable laws in all material respects in connection with its use or occupancy of the First Lien Priority Collateral. The ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders shall reimburse the First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders for any injury
or damage to Persons or property (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by the acts or omissions of Persons under its control; provided, however, that the ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders will not be liable for any diminution in
the value of the Mortgaged Premises caused by the absence of the ABL Priority Collateral therefrom. In no 

  
 28 








 
event shall the ABL Claimholders or the ABL Agent have any liability to the First Lien Claimholders and/or to the First Lien Agents hereunder as a result of any condition (including any
environmental condition, claim or liability) on or with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL Agent) of its rights under this Agreement. The ABL Agent and the First Lien Agents shall
cooperate and use reasonable efforts to ensure that their activities during the Access Period as described above do not interfere materially with the activities of the other as described above, including the right of First Lien Agents to show the
First Lien Priority Collateral to prospective purchasers and to ready the First Lien Priority Collateral for sale. 
 (d) Consistent with
the definition of the term “Access Period,” if any order or injunction is issued or stay is granted or is otherwise effective by operation of law that prohibits the ABL Agent from exercising any of its rights hereunder, then the Access
Period granted to the ABL Agent under this Section 3.3 shall be stayed during the period of such prohibition and shall continue thereafter for the number of days remaining in the applicable Access Period or Use Period, as the case may
be. The First Lien Agents shall not foreclose or otherwise sell or dispose of any of the First Lien Priority Collateral during the Access Period or Use Period, as applicable, unless the buyer agrees in writing to acquire the First Lien Priority
Collateral subject to the terms of Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 of this Agreement and agrees therein to comply with the terms of this Section 3.3. The rights of ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders under this
Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 during the Access Period or Use Period shall continue notwithstanding such foreclosure, sale or other disposition by the First Lien Agents. 

(e) The ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders shall have the right to bring an action to enforce their rights under this Section 3.3
and Section 3.4, including, without limitation, an action seeking possession of the applicable ABL Priority Collateral and/or specific performance of this Section 3.3 and Section 3.4. 

3.4. First Lien Priority Collateral Rights/Access to Information. For the purposes of enabling the ABL Agent to exercise rights and
remedies under this Agreement during the Enforcement Period, the First Lien Agents and each Grantor hereby grants (to the full extent of their respective rights and interests) the ABL Agent and its agents, representatives and designees an
irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, rent-free license and lease (which will be binding on any successor or assignee of any First Lien Priority Collateral) to use all of the First Lien Priority Collateral to collect all Accounts included in ABL
Priority Collateral, to copy, use, or preserve any and all information relating to any of the ABL Priority Collateral, and to complete the manufacture, packaging, advertising for sale and sale of (i) work-in-process, (ii) raw materials and
(iii) complete inventory; provided, however, the royalty-free, rent-free license and lease with respect to the applicable First Lien Priority Collateral, shall immediately expire upon the end of (1) the Access Period
applicable to such First Lien Priority Collateral located on any Mortgaged Premises and (2) the applicable Use Period with respect to any First Lien Priority Collateral not located on any Mortgaged Premises; provided, further,
that such expiration shall be without prejudice to the sale or other disposition of the ABL Priority Collateral in accordance with applicable law. 

3.5. Set-Off and Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds. Each First Lien Agent, on behalf of their respective First Lien Claimholders,
acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent 

  
 29 








 
such First Lien Agent or any such First Lien Claimholder exercises its rights of set-off against any ABL Priority Collateral, the amount of such set-off shall be held and distributed pursuant to
Section 4.1. The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder exercises its rights of set-off against any First Lien Priority Collateral, the amount of such
set-off shall be held and distributed pursuant to Section 4.1. The ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, the Credit Agreement Agent, on behalf of each Cash Flow Credit Claimholder, the Notes Agent, for itself and
on behalf of the Note Claimholders, and each Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of its respective Additional First Lien Claimholders, further agree that prior to an issuance of an Enforcement Notice or the commencement of any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding, any Proceeds of Collateral, whether or not deposited under Account Agreements, which are used by any Grantor to acquire other property which is Collateral shall not (solely as between the Agents, the ABL Claimholders and the
First Lien Claimholders) be treated as Proceeds of Collateral for purposes of determining the relative priorities in the Collateral which was so acquired. In addition, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations occurs, subject to
Section 4.2, each First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders each hereby consents to the application, prior to the receipt by the ABL Agent of an Enforcement Notice issued by the Applicable First Lien Agent, of cash or other
Proceeds of Collateral, deposited under Account Agreements to the repayment of ABL Obligations pursuant to the ABL Loan Documents.

(ii) Refinancings in whole of Indebtedness in respect of any Series of Obligations need not be permitted pursuant to the ABL Loan Documents or First Lien Documents, as applicable, in respect of such Series of Obligations. 

(b) Subject to Sections 5.3(c) and 5.3(d), the ABL Agent and each First Lien Agent shall each use good faith efforts to notify
the other party of any written amendment or modification to the ABL Loan Documents and First Lien Documents, but the failure to do so shall not create a cause of action against the party failing to give such notice or create any claim or right on
behalf of any third party. 
 (c) Without the consent of each First Lien Agent, the ABL Claimholders will not be entitled to agree (and will
not agree) to any amendment to or modification of the ABL Loan Documents, whether in a Refinancing or otherwise, that is not permitted by the Indenture as in effect on the date of such amendment or modification. 

(d) Without the consent of the ABL Agent, each First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders will not be entitled to agree (and will not
agree) to any amendment to or modification of the First Lien Documents, whether in a Refinancing or otherwise, that is not permitted by the ABL Credit Agreement as in effect on the date of such amendment or modification; provided that the First Lien
Agents shall be entitled to rely exclusively on an officer’s certificate of the Company to the effect that such amendment or modification is permitted by the ABL Credit Agreement as of the applicable date thereof. 

(e) So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, each First Lien Agent agrees that each applicable First Lien Security
Document executed on or after the date hereof that grants a Lien on any material Collateral shall include the following language (or similar language acceptable to the ABL Agent): “Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and
security interests granted to [Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent] [Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Collateral Agent] [INSERT NAME OF ADDITIONAL FIRST LIEN AGENT], as [Collateral Agent]], pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise
of any right or remedy by [Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent] [Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Collateral Agent] [INSERT NAME OF ADDITIONAL FIRST LIEN AGENT, as [Collateral Agent]] hereunder in the ABL Priority Collateral, are
subject to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement dated as of August 16, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ABL Intercreditor 

  
 35 








 
Agreement”), among Citibank, N.A., as the ABL Agent, Citibank, N.A., as Credit Agreement Agent, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Notes Agent, each Additional First Lien
Agent (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) from time to time party thereto and the Grantors (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) from time to time party thereto. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the ABL
Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.” 
 (f)
So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, the ABL Agent agrees that each applicable ABL Security Document that grants a Lien on any material Collateral shall include the following language (or similar language acceptable
to the First Lien Agents): “Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests granted to Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the
Collateral Agent hereunder, are subject to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement dated as of August 16, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ABL Intercreditor
Agreement”), among the Administrative Agent, as ABL Agent, Citibank, N.A., as Credit Agreement Agent, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Notes Agent, each Additional First Lien Agent (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement)
from time to time party thereto and the Grantors (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) from time to time party thereto. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the
terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.” 
 5.4. Bailees for Perfection. 

(a) Each Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents
or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon (such Collateral, which shall include, without limitation, Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts and Capital Stock, being the “Pledged
Collateral”) as (i) in the case of the ABL Agent, the collateral agent for the ABL Claimholders under the ABL Loan Documents or, in the case of the First Lien Agents, the collateral agent for the First Lien Claimholders under the First
Lien Documents and (ii) gratuitous bailee for the benefit of the other Agents (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) and any assignee solely for the
purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the ABL Loan Documents and the First Lien Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4. The First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders
hereby appoint the ABL Agent as their agent for the purposes of perfecting their security interest in all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries. The ABL Agent hereby accepts such appointment and
acknowledges and agrees that it shall act for the benefit of the First Lien Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders under each Account Agreement and that any Proceeds received by the ABL Agent under any Account Agreement shall be applied in
accordance with Article IV. Each Grantor hereby grants as security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the First Lien Obligations, a security interest in the Pledged Collateral to the First Lien Agents for the
benefit of the First Lien Claimholders. 
 (b) No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any other Agent, to any other ABL
Claimholder, or to any other First Lien Claimholder to ensure that the Pledged 

  
 36 








 
Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.4. The duties or responsibilities
of the respective Agents under this Section 5.4 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.4 and delivering the Pledged Collateral or Proceeds thereof upon a
Discharge of ABL Obligations or Discharge of First Lien Obligations, as applicable, as provided in paragraph (d) below. 
 (c) No Agent
acting pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall have by reason of the ABL Loan Documents, the First Lien Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the other Agents, any other ABL Claimholder or any
other First Lien Claimholder. 
 (d) Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations or the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, as applicable, the
Agent under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Indenture, the Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any Additional First Lien Agreement, as applicable, that has been discharged shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) together with any necessary
endorsements, first, to the other Agent (which shall be the Applicable First Lien Agent in the case of the First Lien Agents) to the extent the other Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the applicable Grantor to the extent the Discharge
of ABL Obligations and the Discharge of First Lien Obligations have occurred (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral) or as otherwise required by law. Each Agent further agrees to take all
other action reasonably requested by the other Agent in connection with the other Agent obtaining a senior-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, any obligation of the Agent, which has been discharged, to make any delivery to the other Agent under this Section 5.4(d) is subject to (i) the order of any court of competent jurisdiction, or
(ii) any automatic stay imposed in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. 
 VI. 

INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS. 

6.1. Finance and Sale Issues. 

(a) The Credit Agreement Agent, on behalf of the Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, the Notes Agent, on behalf of the Note Claimholders, and the
Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of the Additional First Lien Claimholders, hereby agrees that, until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the ABL Agent
shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting ABL Priority Collateral or to permit any Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the ABL Claimholders or
any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“ABL DIP Financing”) secured by a Lien on ABL Priority Collateral, then any First Lien Claimholder will not be entitled to raise (and will
not raise or support any Person in raising), but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably and absolutely waived, any objection to, and shall not otherwise in any manner be entitled to oppose or will oppose or support any Person in
opposing, such Cash Collateral use or ABL DIP Financing (including, except as expressly 

  
 37 








 
provided below, that the First Lien Claimholders are entitled to adequate protection of their interest in the Collateral as a condition thereto) so long as such Cash Collateral use or ABL DIP
Financing meets the following requirements: (i) the First Lien Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders retain a Lien on the Collateral and, with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral, with the same priority as existed prior to the
commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (ii) to the extent that the ABL Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien, each First Lien Agent is permitted to seek a Lien (without objection from the ABL Agent or any
ABL Claimholder) on Collateral arising after the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (so long as, with respect to ABL Priority Collateral, such Lien is junior to the Liens securing such ABL DIP Financing and any other Liens in
favor of the ABL Agent), (iii) the terms of the Cash Collateral use or the ABL DIP Financing require that any Lien on the First Lien Priority Collateral to secure such ABL DIP Financing is subordinate to the Lien of each First Lien Agent
securing the First Lien Obligations with respect thereto and (iv) the terms of such ABL DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral do not require any Grantor to seek approval for any Plan of Reorganization that is inconsistent with this Agreement.
Each First Lien Agent shall be required to subordinate and will subordinate its Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such ABL DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto, including any “carve-out” granting
administrative priority status or Lien priority to secure repayment of fees and expenses of professionals retained by any debtor or creditors’ committee) and to all adequate assurance Liens granted to the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL
Claimholders and, consistent with the preceding provisions of this Section 6.1, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly provided in clause (ii) above); provided,
however, if the Liens securing the ABL DIP Financing rank junior to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations, each First Lien Agent shall be required to subordinate its Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such ABL DIP
Financing. 
 (b) The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, hereby agrees that, until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has
occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First Lien Agents shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code)
constituting First Lien Priority Collateral or to permit any Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the First Lien Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“First Lien
DIP Financing”) secured by a Lien on First Lien Priority Collateral, then any ABL Claimholder will not be entitled to raise (and will not raise or support any Person in raising), but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably and
absolutely waived, any objection to, and shall not otherwise in any manner be entitled to oppose or will oppose or support any Person in opposing, such Cash Collateral use or First Lien DIP Financing (including, except as expressly provided below,
that the First Lien Claimholders are entitled to adequate protection of their interest in the Collateral as a condition thereto) so long as such Cash Collateral use or First Lien DIP Financing meets the following requirements: (i) the ABL Agent
and the other ABL Claimholders retain a Lien on the Collateral and, with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (ii) to the extent that
the First Lien Agents are granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien, the ABL Agent is permitted to seek a Lien (without objection from the First Lien Agents or any First Lien Claimholder) on Collateral arising after the commencement of the
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (so long as, with respect to First 

  
 38 








 
Lien Priority Collateral, such Lien is junior to the Liens securing such First Lien DIP Financing and any other Liens in favor of the First Lien Agents), (iii) the terms of the Cash
Collateral use or the First Lien DIP Financing require that any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral to secure such First Lien DIP Financing is subordinate to the Lien of the ABL Agent securing the ABL Obligations with respect thereto and
(iv) the terms of such First Lien DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral do not require any Grantor to seek approval for any Plan of Reorganization that is inconsistent with this Agreement. The ABL Agent shall be required to subordinate and
will subordinate its Liens in the First Lien Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such First Lien DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto, including any “carve-out” granting administrative priority status or Lien priority
to secure repayment of fees and expenses of professionals retained by any debtor or creditors’ committee) and to all adequate assurance Liens granted to the First Lien Agents on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders and, consistent with the
preceding provisions of this Section 6.1, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly provided in clause (ii) above); provided, however, if the Liens securing
the First Lien DIP Financing rank junior to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations, the ABL Agent shall be required to subordinate its Liens in the First Lien Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such First Lien DIP Financing. 

(c) The Credit Agreement Agent, on behalf of the Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, the Notes Agent, on behalf of itself and the Note
Claimholders, and the Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Additional First Lien Claimholders, agrees that no such Person shall provide to such Grantor any First Lien DIP Financing to the extent that such First Lien Agent or any
such First Lien Claimholder would, in connection with such financing, be granted a Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral senior to or pari passu with the Liens of the ABL Agent. 

(d) The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Claimholders, agrees that no such Persons shall provide to such Grantor any ABL DIP
Financing to the extent that the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder would, in connection with such financing, be granted a Lien on the First Lien Priority Collateral senior to or pari passu with the Liens of the First Lien Agents. 

6.2. Relief from the Automatic Stay. 

(a) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the Credit Agreement Agent, on behalf of the Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, the Notes Agent, on
behalf of the other Note Claimholders, and the Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of the Additional First Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other
stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the ABL Agent (given or not given in its sole and absolute discretion), unless (i) the ABL Agent already has filed
a motion (which remains pending) for such relief with respect to its interest in such ABL Priority Collateral and (ii) a corresponding motion, in the reasonable judgment of each First Lien Agent, must be filed for the purpose of preserving such
First Lien Agent’s ability to receive residual distributions pursuant to Section 4.1, although the First Lien Claimholders shall otherwise remain subject to the restrictions in Section 3.1 following the granting of any
such relief from the automatic stay. 

  
 39 








 (b) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the ABL Agent, on behalf of the
other ABL Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the First Lien Priority Collateral (other
than to the extent such relief is required to exercise its rights under Sections 3.3 and 3.4), without the prior written consent of each First Lien Agent (given or not given in its sole and absolute discretion), unless (i) each
First Lien Agent already has filed a motion (which remains pending) for such relief with respect to its interest in the First Lien Priority Collateral and (ii) a corresponding motion, in the reasonable judgment of the ABL Agent, must be filed
for the purpose of preserving the ABL Agent’s ability to receive residual distributions pursuant to Section 4.1, although the ABL Agent shall otherwise remain subject to the restrictions in Section 3.2 following the
granting of any such relief from the automatic stay. 
 6.3. Adequate Protection. 

(a) The Credit Agreement Agent, on behalf of the Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, the Notes Agent, on behalf of itself and the Note
Claimholders, and each Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of the Additional First Lien Claimholders, agree that none of them shall be entitled to contest and none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (but instead shall
be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right): 
 (i) subject to the provisions of
Section 6.1, any request by the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders for relief from the automatic stay with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral; or 

(ii) any request by the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders for adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority
Collateral (except to the extent any such adequate protection is a payment from First Lien Priority Collateral); or 
 (iii)
any objection by the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral. 

(b) The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall be entitled to contest and none of them shall
contest (or support any other Person contesting) (but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right): 

(i) any request by the First Lien Agents or the other First Lien Claimholders for relief from the automatic stay with respect
to the First Lien Priority Collateral; or 
 (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, any request by the
First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders for adequate protection with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral (except to the extent any such adequate protection is a payment from ABL Priority Collateral); or 

(iii) any objection by the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based
on the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral. 

  
 40 








 (c) Consistent with the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, and except as
provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.7, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding: 
 (i) no First Lien Claimholder
shall be entitled (and each First Lien Claimholder shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right): 

(1) to seek or otherwise be granted any type of adequate protection with respect to its interests in the ABL Priority
Collateral (except as expressly set forth in Section 6.1 or as may otherwise be consented to in writing by the ABL Agent in its sole and absolute discretion); provided, however, subject to Section 6.1, First
Lien Claimholders may seek and obtain adequate protection in the form of an additional or replacement Lien on Collateral so long as (i) the ABL Claimholders have been granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement lien on such
Collateral, and (ii) any such Lien on ABL Priority Collateral (and on any Collateral granted as adequate protection for the ABL Claimholders in respect of their interest in such ABL Priority Collateral) is subordinated to the Liens of the ABL
Agent in such Collateral on the same basis as the other Liens of the Credit Agreement Agent, Notes Agent and the applicable First Lien Claimholders on ABL Priority Collateral; and 

(2) to seek or otherwise be granted any adequate protection payments with respect to its interests in the Collateral from
Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral (except as may be consented to in writing by the ABL Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) 

(ii) no ABL Claimholder shall be entitled (and each ABL Claimholder shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and
unconditionally waived any right): 
 (1) to seek or otherwise be granted any type of adequate protection in respect of
First Lien Priority Collateral except as may be consented to in writing by the First Lien Agents in their sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, ABL Claimholders may seek and obtain adequate protection in the form of an
additional or replacement Lien on Collateral so long as (i) the First Lien Claimholders have been granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement lien on such Collateral, and (ii) any such Lien on First Lien Priority Collateral
(and on any Collateral granted as adequate protection for the First Lien Claimholders in respect of their interest in such First Lien Priority Collateral) is subordinated to the Liens of the First Lien Agents in such Collateral on the same basis as
the other Liens of the ABL Agent on First Lien Priority Collateral; and 
 (2) to seek or otherwise be granted any adequate
protection payments with respect to its interests in the Collateral from Proceeds of First Lien Priority Collateral (except as may be consented to in writing by the First Lien Agents in their sole and absolute discretion) 

  
 41 








 (d) With respect to (i) the ABL Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights
of the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the First Lien Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a
cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise, other than from Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral) so long as such request is not otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement and (ii) the First Lien Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall
limit the rights of the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash
payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise, other than from Proceeds of First Lien Priority Collateral) so long as such request is not otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement. 

6.4. Avoidance Issues. If any ABL Claimholder or First Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or
otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the applicable Grantor any amount paid in respect of ABL Obligations or the First Lien Obligations, as applicable (a “Recovery”), then such ABL Claimholders or First Lien
Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of ABL Obligations or the First Lien Obligations, as applicable, with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall
be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. 

6.5. Reorganization Securities. Subject to the ability of the ABL Claimholders and the First Lien Claimholders, as applicable, to
support or oppose confirmation or approval of any Conforming Plan of Reorganization or to oppose confirmation or approval of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization, as provided herein, if, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt
obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization, both on account of ABL Obligations and on account of First Lien Obligations, then, to the extent
the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the First Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations
pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the debt obligations so distributed, to the Liens securing such debt obligations and the distribution of Proceeds thereof. 

6.6. Post-Petition Interest. 

(a) Neither the First Lien Agents nor any First Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge: 

(i) any claim by the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of ABL
Obligations consisting of post-petition 

  
 42 








 
interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any ABL Claimholder’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the
First Lien Agents on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders on the Collateral; 
 (ii) the payment of such expenses allowed in
accordance with Section 6.6(a)(i); 
 or 

(iii) the payment of such interest and fees allowed in accordance with Section 6.6(a)(i) solely from Proceeds of
ABL Priority Collateral; 
 provided that nothing contained in this Section 6.6(a) prohibits the Credit Agreement Agent, on behalf of the
Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, the Notes Agent, on behalf of the Note Claimholders, and the Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of the Additional First Lien Claimholders, from seeking adequate protection (to the extent it has not already done so
under other provisions of this Agreement) with respect to their rights in the First Lien Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding if such First Lien Priority Collateral is the source of payment of post-petition expenses
payable to the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder. 
 (b) Neither the ABL Agent nor any other ABL Claimholder shall oppose or seek to
challenge: 
 (i) any claim by the First Lien Agents or any First Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien on the First Lien Priority Collateral securing any First Lien Claimholder’s claim, without regard to
the existence of the Lien of the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Claimholders on the Collateral; 
 (ii) the payment of such
expenses allowed in accordance with Section 6.6(b)(i); 
 or 

(iii) the payment of such interest and fees allowed in accordance with Section 6.6(b)(i) solely from Proceeds of
First Lien Priority Collateral 
 provided that nothing contained in this Section 6.6(b) prohibits the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL
Claimholders from seeking adequate protection (to the extent it has not already done so under other provisions of this Agreement) with respect to their rights in the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding if such ABL
Priority Collateral is the source of payment of post-petition expenses payable to the First Lien Agents or any First Lien Claimholder. 

  
 43 








 6.7. Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each First Lien Agent, on
behalf of their respective First Lien Claimholders, and the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, acknowledge and intend that: the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Security Documents and the First Lien Security Documents constitute two or
more separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the First Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any Plan
of Reorganization proposed or confirmed (or approved) in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL
Claimholders and the First Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Claimholders and the First Lien Claimholders hereby
acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligations and First Lien Obligations against the Grantors (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority
Collateral or First Lien Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties for whom such Collateral is non-priority in accordance with Section 2.1 and Section 2.2), the
ABL Claimholders or the First Lien Claimholders, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition
interest, fees or expenses that is available from each pool of priority Collateral for each of the ABL Claimholders and the First Lien Claimholders, respectively, before any distribution is made from the applicable pool of priority Collateral in
respect of the claims held by the other Secured Parties for whom such Collateral is non-priority, with such other Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or
receivable by them from the applicable pool of priority Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries. 

6.8. Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. 

(a) Without limiting the ABL Agent’s and the ABL Claimholders’ rights under Section 3.1(b), neither the First Lien
Agents nor any other First Lien Claimholder shall, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any ABL Priority Collateral that is supported by the ABL Claimholders, and the First Lien Agents and each
other First Lien Claimholder will be deemed to have irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale of any ABL Priority Collateral supported by the ABL Claimholders and
to have released their Liens on such assets; provided that to the extent the Proceeds of such Collateral are not applied to reduce ABL Obligations, the First Lien Agents shall retain a Lien on such Proceeds in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. 
 (b) Without limiting the First Lien Agents’ and the First Lien Claimholders’ rights under
Section 3.2(b), neither the ABL Agent nor any other ABL Claimholder shall, in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any First Lien Priority Collateral that is supported by the First Lien Claimholders
and made subject to Section 3.3(d), and the ABL Agent and each other ABL Claimholder will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale of any First Lien Priority Collateral
supported by the First Lien Claimholders and to have released their Liens on such 

  
 44 








 
assets; provided that to the extent the Proceeds of such Collateral are not applied to reduce First Lien Obligations, the ABL Agent shall retain a Lien on such Proceeds in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement; provided further that the ABL Agent’s and the ABL Claimholders’ rights under Sections 3.3 and 3.4 shall survive any such sale or disposition. 

VII. 
 RELIANCE; WAIVERS;
ETC. 
 7.1. Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders,
acknowledges that it and the other ABL Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the First Lien Agents or any First Lien Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis
and decision to enter into ABL Loan Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the ABL Loan Documents or this Agreement. Each of the Credit
Agreement Agent, on behalf of the Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, the Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of the Additional First Lien Claimholders, and the Noteholders, acknowledges that it and the other First Lien Claimholders (other than the
Trustee and the Notes Agent) have, independently and without reliance on the ABL Agent or any other ABL Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of
the other First Lien Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the First Lien Documents or this Agreement. 

7.2. No Warranties or Liability. The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that each of the First Lien
Agents and the First Lien Claimholders have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the other First Lien Documents,
the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans
and extensions of credit under the First Lien Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. Each First Lien Agent, on behalf their respective First Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees
that the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the other ABL Loan
Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. Except as otherwise provided herein, the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and
extensions of credit under their respective ABL Loan Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to the ABL Agent or
any of the ABL Claimholders, and the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders shall have no duty to the First Lien Agents or any of the other First Lien Claimholders, to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the
occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with any Grantor (including the ABL Loan Documents and the First Lien Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

 7.3. No Waiver of Lien Priorities. 

(a) No right of the Agents, the other ABL Claimholders or the other First Lien Claimholders to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any
ABL Loan Document or First Lien Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Grantor or by any act or failure to act by such Agents, ABL Claimholders or First Lien Claimholders or by
any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the ABL Loan Documents or any of the First Lien Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Agents or the ABL Claimholders or First Lien
Claimholders, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with. 
 (b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing
paragraph (but subject to the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Loan Documents and First Lien Documents and subject to the provisions of Sections 5.3(a), 5.3(c), and, as applicable, 5.3(d)), the Agents, the other ABL
Claimholders and the other First Lien Claimholders may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the ABL Loan Documents and First Lien Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, the other Agent or the ABL
Claimholder or the First Lien Claimholders (as applicable), without incurring any liabilities to such Persons and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or
other right or remedy is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following: 
 (i) change the
manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the Obligations or any Lien or guaranty thereof or any liability of any Grantor, or any liability
incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the Obligations, without any restriction as to the tenor or terms of any such increase or extension) or otherwise amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify or
supplement in any manner any Liens held by the Agents or any rights or remedies under any of the ABL Loan Documents or the First Lien Documents; 

(ii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any part
of the Collateral (except to the extent provided in this Agreement) or any liability of any Grantor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof; 

(iii) settle or compromise any Obligation or any other liability of any Grantor or any security therefor or any liability
incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof and apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability in any manner or order that is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; and 

(iv) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against any security or any Grantor or any other
Person, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with any Grantor. 

  
 46 








 7.4. Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the
ABL Claimholders and the First Lien Claimholders, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: 
 (a) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any ABL Loan Documents or any First Lien Documents; 
 (b) except, in each case, as otherwise
expressly set forth in this Agreement, any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the ABL Obligations or First Lien Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any
increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any ABL Loan Document or any First Lien Document; 

(c) except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non-perfection of any security
interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the ABL Obligations or First Lien Obligations or any guaranty thereof; 

(d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any Grantor; or 

(e) any other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the ABL
Agent, the ABL Obligations, any ABL Claimholder, the First Lien Agents, the First Lien Obligations or any First Lien Claimholder in respect of this Agreement. 

VIII. 
 MISCELLANEOUS.

 8.1. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any ABL Loan
Document or any First Lien Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control. 
 8.2. Effectiveness; Continuing Nature
of this Agreement; Severability. This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination (as opposed to an agreement of debt or claim subordination), and the
ABL Claimholders and First Lien Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to the other Agent, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of any Grantor in reliance hereon. Each of the
Agents, on behalf the ABL Claimholders or the First Lien Claimholders, as applicable, hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waives any right any Claimholder may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the
provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Consistent with, but not in limitation of, the preceding sentence, each of the Agents,
on behalf of the ABL Claimholders and the First Lien Claimholders, as applicable, irrevocably acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of both New York law and Section 510(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code. Any provision 

  
 47 








 
of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. All references to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for any Grantor (as applicable) in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect: 
 (a) with respect to the ABL
Agent, the ABL Claimholders and the ABL Obligations, on the date of the Discharge of ABL Obligations, subject to the rights of the ABL Claimholders under Section 6.4; and 

(b) with respect to the First Lien Agents, the First Lien Claimholders and the First Lien Obligations, on the date of the Discharge of First
Lien Obligations, subject to the rights of the First Lien Claimholders under Section 6.4. 
 8.3. Amendments; Waivers.

 (a) No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the First Lien Agents or the ABL Agent shall be
deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights
of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights are directly affected. 
 (b) So long as permitted by the ABL Loan
Documents and the First Lien Documents then in effect, the Company may from time to time designate Indebtedness and other obligations as Additional First Lien Obligations hereunder by delivering to the ABL Agent and each First Lien Agent (i) a
certificate signed by a responsible officer of the Company (A) identifying the Indebtedness and other obligations so designated and the aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof, (B) stating that such Indebtedness and other
obligations are designated as Additional First Lien Obligations for purposes hereof, (C) representing that such designation of such Indebtedness and other obligations as Additional First Lien Obligations complies with the terms of the ABL Loan
Documents and the First Lien Documents then outstanding and (D) specifying the name and address of the Additional First Lien Agent for such Indebtedness and other obligations and (ii) a fully executed Joinder (substantially in the form
attached as Annex A). Each Agent agrees that upon the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, the Additional First Lien Agent identified in such Joinder shall act hereunder for the benefit of all Additional First Lien
Claimholders under such Joinder, and each Agent agrees to the appointment, and acceptance of the appointment, of the Applicable First Lien Agent as agent for the holders of such Additional First Lien Obligations as set forth in each Joinder and
agrees, on behalf of itself and each Claimholder it represents, to be bound by this Agreement. 
 (c) If more than one asset-based credit
facility of the Grantors is in place at any time, this Agreement shall be updated by an amendment which provides for technical changes to 

  
 48 








 
allow for another Series of ABL Obligations (in addition to the ABL Obligations in respect of the Initial ABL Credit Agreement) represented by another ABL Agent (in addition to the Initial ABL
Agent) to be joined hereto (to the extent such additional Series of ABL Obligations are permitted by the First Lien Documents and the ABL Loan Documents that relate to the Initial ABL Credit Agreement) without adversely affecting the rights of the
holders of the First Lien Obligations or the First Lien Agents or the rights of the holders of the ABL Obligations in respect of the Initial ABL Credit Agreement or the Initial ABL Agent (in each case other than with respect to ministerial
requirements, like the requirement to provide additional notices). 
 8.4. Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Company and
Their Subsidiaries. The ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders, on the one hand, and the First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders (in each case other than the Trustee and the Notes Agent), on the other hand, shall each be responsible for
keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and all endorsers and/or guarantors and other Grantors of the ABL Obligations or the First Lien Obligations and (b) all other
circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the ABL Obligations or the First Lien Obligations. Neither the ABL Claimholders, on the one hand, nor the First Lien Claimholders, on the other hand, shall have any duty to advise the other of
information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that either the ABL Agent or any of the other ABL Claimholders, on the one hand, or the First Lien Claimholders, on the other hand,
undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any of the others, it or they shall be under no obligation, (i) to make, and shall not make, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with
respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) to undertake any
investigation, or (iv) to disclose any information, which pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential. 

8.5. Subrogation. 
 (a)
With respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that any of the First Lien Claimholders actually pays over to the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders under the terms of this Agreement, the First Lien
Claimholders shall be subrogated to the rights of the ABL Claimholders; provided, however, that each First Lien Agent, on behalf of their respective First Lien Claimholders, hereby agrees not to assert or enforce all such rights of
subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred. The Grantors acknowledge and agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the value of any payments or distributions in
cash, property or other assets received by the First Lien Claimholders that are paid over to the ABL Claimholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce any of the First Lien Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 8.5(a), none of the First Lien Claimholders shall have any claim against any of the ABL Claimholders for any impairment of any subrogation rights herein granted to the First Lien Claimholders. 

(b) With respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that any of the ABL Claimholders actually
pays over to the First Lien 

  
 49 








 
Claimholders under the terms of this Agreement, the ABL Claimholders shall be subrogated to the rights of the First Lien Claimholders; provided, however, that the ABL Agent, on
behalf of the ABL Claimholders, hereby agrees not to assert or enforce all such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred. The Grantors acknowledge and agree
that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the ABL Claimholders that are paid over to the First Lien Claimholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not
reduce any of the ABL Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.5(b), none of the ABL Claimholders shall have any claim against any of the First Lien Claimholders for any impairment of any subrogation rights herein
granted to the ABL Claimholders. 
 8.6. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. 

(a) ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PERSON ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF
COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF THE FIRST LIEN CLAIMHOLDERS (IN THE CASE OF THE FIRST LIEN AGENTS) AND THE ABL CLAIMHOLDERS (IN THE
CASE OF THE ABL AGENT), IRREVOCABLY: 
 (1) AGREES THAT THE ONLY NECESSARY PARTIES TO ANY AND ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE THE PARTIES HERETO, EXCEPT WHERE IN ANY SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDING RELIEF (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF OR THE RECOVERY OF MONEY) IS BEING SOUGHT DIRECTLY AGAINST OR FROM A PERSON THAT IS NOT A
PARTY AND EXCEPT THAT, IN ANY SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BETWEEN THE FIRST LIEN AGENTS AND THE ABL AGENT THAT DOES NOT SEEK ANY RELIEF AGAINST OR FROM THE ISSUERS OR ANY OF THE COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES, THE ISSUERS AND THE COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES SHALL NOT
BE NECESSARY PARTIES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, AND CONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 8.14 AND 8.17, NONE OF THE ABL CLAIMHOLDERS (OTHER THAN THE ABL AGENT) OR THE FIRST LIEN CLAIMHOLDERS (OTHER THAN
THE FIRST LIEN AGENTS) SHALL BE NECESSARY OR OTHERWISE APPROPRIATE PARTIES TO ANY SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS, UNLESS IN SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDING SUMS ARE BEING SOUGHT TO BE RECOVERED DIRECTLY FROM SUCH PERSONS, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO SECTION
4.2. 
 (2) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; AND 

(3) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS. 

  
 50 








 (b) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE ABL LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE FIRST LIEN DOCUMENTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ABL LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE FIRST LIEN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.6. 

8.7. Notices. All notices permitted or required under this Agreement need be sent only to the First Lien Agents and the ABL Agent, as
applicable, in order to be effective and otherwise binding on any applicable Claimholder. If any notice is sent for whatever reason to the other First Lien Claimholders or the ABL Claimholders, such notice shall also be sent to the applicable Agent.
Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice hereunder shall be in writing and may be personally served, e-mailed or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in
person or by overnight courier service and signed for against receipt thereof, upon receipt of telefacsimile or e-mail during normal business hours, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States certified mails (return receipt
requested) with postage prepaid and properly addressed. For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto shall be as set forth below each party’s name on the signature pages hereto, or, as to each party, at such other address as may
be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the other parties. 
 8.8. Further Assurances. The ABL Agent, on behalf of
the ABL Claimholders, and each First Lien Agent, on behalf of their respective First Lien Claimholders, and the Grantors, agree that each of them shall take such further action and shall execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments
(in recordable form, if requested) as the ABL Agent or the First Lien Agents may reasonably request to effectuate the terms of and the Lien priorities contemplated by this Agreement. 

8.9. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK. 
 8.10. Specific Performance. Each of the ABL Agent and the First Lien Agents may demand specific performance of this
Agreement. The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Claimholders, and each First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and its respective First Lien Claimholders, hereby irrevocably waive any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any
other defense which might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any 

  
 51 








 
action which may be brought by the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders or the First Lien Agents or the other First Lien Claimholders, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, in seeking specific performance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, an Agent may seek such relief as if it were the “holder” of the claims of the other Agent’s
Claimholders under Section 1126(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise had been granted an irrevocable power of attorney by the other Agent’s Claimholders. 

8.11. Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a
part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. 
 8.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such separate counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. In proving this Agreement in any judicial proceedings, it shall
not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom such enforcement is sought. Any signatures delivered by a party by facsimile transmission or by e-mail transmission shall be deemed an
original signature hereto. 
 8.13. Authorization. By its signature, each party hereto represents and warrants to the other parties
hereto that the individual signing this Agreement on its behalf is duly authorized to execute this Agreement. The Notes Agent hereby represents that it is authorized to, and by its signature hereon does, bind the other Note Claimholders to the terms
of this Agreement. The ABL Agent hereby represents that it is authorized to, and by its signature hereon does, bind the other ABL Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement. The Credit Agreement Agent hereby represents that it is authorized to, and
by its signature hereon does, bind the other Cash Flow Credit Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement 
 8.14. No Third Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights and benefits hereof shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and its respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of (and shall be binding upon) each of the Agents,
the other ABL Claimholders and the other First Lien Claimholders and their respective successors and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Indenture, each Additional First Lien Agreement and the amendments to ABL
Security Documents shall expressly refer to this Agreement and acknowledge that its provisions shall be binding on the First Lien Agents, and the other First Lien Claimholders (and their respective successors and assigns) and on the ABL Agent and
the other ABL Claimholders (and their respective successors and assigns), as applicable, and, in any event, this Agreement shall be binding on the Agents, the other ABL Claimholders, and the other First Lien Claimholders and their respective
successors and assigns as if its provisions were set forth in their entirety in the ABL Credit Agreement, the Indenture and each Additional First Lien Agreement. 

8.15. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement (other than Section 8.3(b)) are
intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the ABL Claimholders on the one hand and the First Lien Claimholders on the other hand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relative rights and obligations of the First Lien
Claimholders (as amongst themselves) shall be governed by the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor 

  
 52 








 
Agreement. No Grantor or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights hereunder, and no Grantor may rely on the terms hereof, except that the Company may enforce Sections 5.1(d), 8.3(a)
and 8.3(b). Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair as between the Grantors and the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders, or as between the Grantors and the First Lien Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders, the
obligations of any Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay principal, interest, fees and other amounts as provided in the other ABL Loan Documents and the other First Lien Documents, respectively, including as and when the same shall
become due and payable in accordance with their terms. 
 8.16. Marshalling of Assets. Each First Lien Agent, on behalf of its
respective First Lien Claimholders, hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waives any and all rights or powers any First Lien Claimholder may have at any time under applicable law or otherwise to have the ABL Priority Collateral, or any
part thereof, marshaled upon any foreclosure or other enforcement of the ABL Agent’s Liens. The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, hereby waives irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally any and all rights any ABL Claimholder may
have at any time under applicable law or otherwise to have the First Lien Priority Collateral, or any part thereof, marshaled upon any foreclosure or other enforcement of the First Lien Agents’ Liens. 

8.17. Exclusive Means of Exercising Rights under this Agreement. The Cash Flow Credit Claimholders shall be deemed to have irrevocably
appointed the Credit Agreement Agent, Note Claimholders shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Notes Agent, the ABL Claimholders shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the ABL Agent and the Additional First Lien Claimholders shall
be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Additional First Lien Agent, as their respective and exclusive agents hereunder. Consistent with such appointment, the First Lien Claimholders and the ABL Claimholders further shall be deemed to have
agreed that only their respective Agent (and not any individual Claimholder or group of Claimholders) shall have the exclusive right to exercise any rights, powers, and/or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement (including bringing any
action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement) or the Collateral; provided, that (i) ABL Claimholders or Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, as applicable, holding Permitted Secured Bank Product Debt or Permitted
Secured Hedge Obligations may exercise customary netting rights with respect thereto, (ii) cash collateral may be held pursuant to the terms of the ABL Loan Documents and Cash Flow Credit Documents (including any relating to Permitted Secured Bank
Product Debt or Permitted Secured Hedge Obligations) and any such individual ABL Claimholder or Cash Flow Credit Claimholder, as applicable, may act against such Collateral, and (iii) ABL Claimholders may exercise customary rights of setoff
against depository or other accounts maintained with them. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Cash Flow Credit Lender or group of Cash Flow Credit Lenders, each Noteholder, each holder of Additional First Lien
Obligations, group of Noteholders or group of holders of Additional First Lien Obligations, and each ABL Lender or group of ABL Lenders, shall not be entitled to take or file, but instead shall be precluded from taking or filing (whether in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise), any action, judicial or otherwise, to enforce any right or power or pursue any remedy under this Agreement (including any declaratory judgment or other action to interpret or otherwise enforce the
provisions of this Agreement) or otherwise in relation to the Collateral, except solely as provided in the proviso in the preceding sentence. 

  
 53 








 8.18. Interpretation. This Agreement is a product of negotiations among representatives
of, and has been reviewed by counsel to, the Credit Agreement Agent, Notes Agent, the ABL Agent, the Company, and the Company Subsidiaries and is the product of those Persons on behalf of themselves and the applicable First Lien Claimholders (in the
case of the Credit Agreement Agent and Notes Agent) and the ABL Claimholders (in the case of the ABL Claimholders). Accordingly, this Agreement’s provisions shall not be construed against, or in favor of, any party or other Person merely by
virtue of that party or other Person’s involvement, or lack of involvement, in the preparation of this Agreement and of any of its specific provisions. 

8.19. Capacity of Notes Agent. Wilmington Trust, National Association is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as
Collateral Agent under the Indenture and the rights, powers, privileges and protections afforded to the Collateral Agent under the Indenture shall also apply to Wilmington Trust, National Association as the Notes Agent hereunder. The Note
Claimholders have expressly authorized and instructed the Notes Agent to execute and deliver this Agreement. 
 8.20. Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the Discharge of the ABL Obligations or upon the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations, subject to the rights of the ABL Claimholders and the First Lien Claimholders, as
applicable, under Section 6.4.

 Annex A 

To: the ABL Agent, the Credit Agreement Agent, the Notes Agent and each Additional First Lien Agent under the ABL Intercreditor Agreement (in each case, as
such terms are defined below) 
 JOINDER (this “Joinder”) dated as of

Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that (a) a portion of the Senior Obligations is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or
reduced and subsequently reborrowed, (b) the terms of the Senior Debt Documents and the Senior Obligations may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, and the Senior Obligations, or a portion thereof, may be Refinanced from time to time
and (c) the aggregate amount of the Senior Obligations may be increased, in each case, without notice to or consent by the Second Priority Representatives or the Second Priority Debt Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof. The Lien
priorities provided for in Section 2.01 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, supplement or other modification, or any Refinancing, of either the Senior Obligations or the Second Priority Debt Obligations, or any portion
thereof. As between the Parent Borrower and the other Grantors and the Second Priority Debt Parties, the foregoing provisions will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parent Borrower and the Grantors contained in any Second Priority
Debt Document with respect to the incurrence of additional Senior Obligations. 
 Section 2.03 Prohibition on Contesting Liens.
Each of the Second Priority Representatives, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in
contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien securing any Senior Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any Senior
Representative or any of the other Senior Secured Parties or other agent or trustee therefor in any Senior Collateral, and the each Senior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Senior Secured Party under its Senior Facility, agrees that
it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation 

  
 11 








 
Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any of any
Second Priority Representative or any of the Second Priority Debt Parties in the Second Priority Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Senior
Representative to enforce this Agreement (including the priority of the Liens securing the Senior Obligations as provided in Section 2.01) or any of the Senior Debt Documents. 

Section 2.04 No New Liens. The parties hereto agree that, so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred,
(a) none of the Grantors shall grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Second Priority Debt Obligation unless it has granted, or concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such asset or property
of such Grantor to secure the Senior Obligations; and (b) if any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party shall hold any Lien on any assets or property of any Grantor securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations that
are not also subject to Liens securing all Senior Obligations under the Senior Collateral Documents, such Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Debt Party (i) shall notify the Designated Senior Representative promptly upon becoming
aware thereof and, unless such Grantor shall promptly grant a similar Lien on such assets or property to each Senior Representative as security for the Senior Obligations, shall assign such Lien to the Designated Senior Representative as security
for all Senior Obligations for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties (but may retain a junior lien on such assets or property subject to the terms hereof) and (ii) until such assignment or such grant of a similar Lien to each Senior
Representative, shall be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of each Senior Representative and the other Senior Secured Parties as security for the Senior Obligations. 

Section 2.05 Perfection of Liens. Except for the limited agreements of the Senior Representatives pursuant to Section 5.05
hereof, none of the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of Liens with respect to the Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Second Priority Representatives or the
Second Priority Debt Parties. The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the Senior Secured Parties and the Second Priority Debt Parties and shall not impose on the Senior
Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives, the Second Priority Debt Parties or any agent or trustee therefor any obligations in respect of the disposition of Proceeds of any Shared Collateral which would
conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law. 

Section 2.06 Certain Cash Collateral. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Senior Debt Documents or Second
Priority Debt Documents to the contrary, collateral consisting of cash and cash equivalents pledged to secure Credit Agreement Obligations consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit or otherwise held by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(g), 2.05(b)(iii), 2.16 or Article 8 of the Credit Agreement (or any equivalent successor provision) shall be applied as specified in the Credit Agreement and will not constitute Shared Collateral.

 ARTICLE III 

ENFORCEMENT 

Section 3.01 Exercise of Remedies. 

(a) So long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been
commenced by or against the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor, (i) neither any Second Priority Representative nor any Second Priority Debt Party will (x) exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff) with
respect to any Shared Collateral in respect of any Second Priority Debt Obligations, or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), (y) contest, protest or object to any
foreclosure proceeding or action brought with respect to the Shared Collateral or any other Senior Collateral by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party in respect of the Senior Obligations, the exercise of any right by any Senior
Representative or any Senior Secured Party (or any agent or sub-agent on their behalf) in respect of the Senior Obligations under any lockbox agreement, control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement
to which any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party either is a party or may have rights as a third party beneficiary, or any other exercise by any such party of any rights and remedies relating to the Shared Collateral under the Senior
Debt Documents or otherwise in respect of the Senior Collateral or the Senior Obligations, or (z) object to the forbearance by the Senior Secured Parties from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of
any rights or remedies relating to the Shared Collateral in respect of Senior Obligations and (ii) the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff
and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Shared Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any Second Priority Representative or any Second
Priority Debt Party; provided, however, that (A) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor, any Second Priority Representative may file a claim or statement of
interest with respect to the Second Priority Debt Obligations under its Second Priority Debt Facility, (B) any Second Priority Representative may take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Senior
Obligations or the rights of the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, prove, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its rights in, and perfection and priority of
its Lien on, the Shared Collateral and (C) any Second Priority Representative and the Second Priority Debt Parties may exercise their rights and remedies as unsecured creditors, as provided in Section 5.04. In exercising rights and
remedies with respect to the Senior Collateral, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Senior Debt Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may
determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Shared Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such
sale or disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction. 

  
 13 








 (b) So long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, each Second Priority
Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will not, in the context of its role as secured creditor, take or receive any Shared Collateral or any Proceeds of Shared
Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff) with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect of Second Priority Debt Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the
Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a), the sole right of the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties with respect to the
Shared Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Shared Collateral in respect of Second Priority Debt Obligations pursuant to the Second Priority Debt Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds
thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred. 
 (c) Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of
Section 3.01(a), (i) each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that neither such Second Priority Representative nor any such Second
Priority Debt Party will take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party with respect to the Shared Collateral under the Senior Debt Documents, including any sale, lease,
exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Shared Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt
Facility, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such Second Priority Debt Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect
the Senior Obligations or the Liens granted on any of the Senior Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party is adverse to the interests of the Second
Priority Debt Parties. 
 (d) Each Second Priority Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction
contained in any Second Priority Debt Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties with respect to the Senior Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the
Senior Debt Documents. 
 (e) Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Senior Representative shall have the exclusive right
to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Shared Collateral and shall have the exclusive right to determine and direct the time, method and place for exercising such right or remedy or conducting any proceeding with respect thereto.
Following the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Second Priority Representative who may be instructed by the Second Priority Majority Representatives shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the
Collateral, and the Designated Second Priority Representative who may be instructed by the Second Priority Majority Representatives shall have the exclusive right to direct the time, method and place of exercising or conducting any proceeding for
the exercise of any right or remedy available to the Second Priority Debt Parties with respect to the Collateral, or of exercising or directing the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Second Priority Representatives, or for the taking of
any other action authorized by the Second Priority Collateral Documents; provided, however, that nothing in this 

  
 14 








 
Section 3.01(e) shall impair the right of any Second Priority Representative or other agent or trustee acting on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties to take such actions with respect
to the Collateral after the Discharge of Senior Obligations as may be otherwise required or authorized pursuant to any intercreditor agreement governing the Second Priority Debt Parties or the Second Priority Debt Obligations. 

Section 3.02 Cooperation. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a), each Second Priority Representative,
on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the Senior
Secured Parties and the Senior Representatives upon the request of the Designated Senior Representative) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the
Shared Collateral under any of the Second Priority Debt Documents or otherwise in respect of the Second Priority Debt Obligations. 

Section 3.03 Actions upon Breach. Should any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party, contrary to this
Agreement, in any way take, attempt to take or threaten to take any action with respect to the Shared Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement) or fail to take any action required by this
Agreement, any Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party (in its or their own name or in the name of the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor) or the Parent Borrower may obtain relief against such Second Priority Representative or such
Second Priority Debt Party by injunction, specific performance or other appropriate equitable relief. Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby
(i) agrees that the Senior Secured Parties’ damages from the actions of the Second Priority Representatives or any Second Priority Debt Party may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable and waives any defense that the
Parent Borrower, any other Grantor or the Senior Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage or be made whole by the awarding of damages and (ii) irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that
might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action that may be brought by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party. 

ARTICLE IV

such event of default is cured or waived, so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, the Shared Collateral or Proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Shared
Collateral upon the exercise of remedies shall be applied by the Designated Senior Representative to the Senior Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Senior Debt Documents (including the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the
ABL Intercreditor Agreement, if any) until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred. Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, each applicable Senior Representative shall deliver promptly to the Designated Second Priority Representative any

the Senior Secured Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Designated Senior Representative is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent
for each of the Second Priority Representatives or any such Second Priority Debt Party. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. 

ARTICLE V 
 OTHER
AGREEMENTS 
 Section 5.01 Releases. 

(a) Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility,
agrees that, in the event of a sale, transfer or other disposition of any specified item of Shared Collateral (including all or substantially all of the equity interests of any subsidiary of the Parent Borrower), the Liens granted to the Second
Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties upon such Shared Collateral to secure Second Priority Debt Obligations shall terminate and be released, automatically and without any further action, concurrently with the termination and
release of all Liens granted upon such Shared Collateral to secure Senior Obligations. Upon delivery to a Second Priority Representative of any necessary or proper instruments of termination or release prepared by the Parent Borrower or any other
Grantor and, if requested by the Second Priority Representative, an Officer’s Certificate stating that any such termination and release of Liens securing the Senior Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective concurrently with
such termination and release of the Liens granted to the Second Priority Debt Parties and the Second Priority Representatives), such Second Priority Representative will promptly execute, deliver or acknowledge, at the Parent Borrower’s or the
other Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such instruments to evidence such termination and release of the Liens. Nothing in this Section 5.01(a) will be deemed to affect any agreement of a Second Priority Representative, for itself and on
behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties under its Second Priority Debt Facility, to release the Liens on the Second Priority Collateral as set forth in the relevant Second Priority Debt Documents. 

(b) Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility,
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Designated Senior Representative and any officer or agent of the 

  
 16 








 
Designated Senior Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Second Priority
Representative or such Second Priority Debt Party or in the Designated Senior Representative’s own name, from time to time in the Designated Senior Representative’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of
Section 5.01(a), to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of Section 5.01(a), including any termination statements,
endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release. 
 (c) Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each
Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby consents to the application, whether prior to or after an event of default under any Senior Debt Document of
proceeds of Shared Collateral to the repayment of Senior Obligations pursuant to the Senior Debt Documents, provided that nothing in this Section 5.01(c) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Second Priority
Representatives or the Second Priority Debt Parties to receive proceeds in connection with the Second Priority Debt Obligations not otherwise in contravention of this Agreement. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Second Priority Collateral Document, in the event the terms of a Senior Collateral
Document and a Second Priority Collateral Document each require any Grantor (i) to make payment in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, (ii) to deliver or afford control over any item of Shared Collateral to, or deposit any item of
Shared Collateral with, (iii) to register ownership of any item of Shared Collateral in the name of or make an assignment of ownership of any Shared Collateral or the rights thereunder to, (iv) cause any securities intermediary, commodity
intermediary or other Person acting in a similar capacity to agree to comply, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, with instructions or orders from, or to treat, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, as the entitlement holder,
(v) hold any item of Shared Collateral in trust for (to the extent such item of Shared Collateral cannot be held in trust for multiple parties under applicable law), (vi) obtain the agreement of a bailee or other third party to hold any
item of Shared Collateral for the benefit of or subject to the control of or, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, to follow the instructions of or (vii) obtain the agreement of a landlord with respect to access to leased premises where
any item of Shared Collateral is located or waivers or subordination of rights with respect to any item of Shared Collateral in favor of, in any case, both the Designated Senior Representative and any Second Priority Representative or Second
Priority Debt Party, such Grantor may, until the applicable Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, comply with such requirement under the Second Priority Collateral Document as it relates to such Shared Collateral by taking any of the actions
set forth above only with respect to, or in favor of, the Designated Senior Representative. 
 Section 5.02 Insurance and
Condemnation Awards. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Designated Senior Representative and the Senior Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the
Senior Debt Documents, (a) to be named as additional insured and loss payee under any insurance policies maintained from time to time by any Grantor, (b) to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Shared Collateral in the
event of any loss thereunder and (c) to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding 

  
 17 








 
affecting the Shared Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award, if in respect of the Shared Collateral,
shall be paid (i) first, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Senior Representative for the benefit of Senior Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Senior Debt Documents, (ii) second,
after the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Second Priority Representative for the benefit of the Second Priority Debt Parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable Second Priority Debt Documents and
(iii) third, if no Second Priority Debt Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If any Second Priority
Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to the Designated Senior Representative in
accordance with the terms of Section 4.02. 
 Section 5.03 Amendments to Second Priority Collateral Documents. 

(a) Except to the extent not prohibited by any Senior Debt Document, no Second Priority Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Second Priority Collateral Document, would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement. The Parent
Borrower agrees to deliver to the Designated Senior Representative copies of (i) any amendments, supplements or other modifications to the Second Priority Collateral Documents and (ii) any new Second Priority Collateral Documents promptly
after effectiveness thereof. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that each Second Priority Collateral Document under its Second Priority
Debt Facility shall include the following language (or language to similar effect reasonably approved by the Designated Senior Representative): 

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the [Second Priority
Representative] pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and security interests granted in favor of the Senior Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement referred to below), including liens and
security interests granted to Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, pursuant to or in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 13, 2011, as amended on March 23, 2012 and as further amended on
December 20, 2012, among Holdings, the Parent Borrower, the other Borrowers party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and the other parties thereto, as further amended, restated, amended
and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, and the liens and security interests granted to Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral agent, pursuant to or in connection with the Indenture, dated as of
December 20, 2012, among the Parent Borrower, the Guarantors identified therein, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, as amended, restated, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy 

  
 18 








 
by the [Second Priority Representative] hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of
[            ], 201[    ] (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Citibank,
N.A., as Administrative Agent, [                    ] and its subsidiaries and affiliated entities party thereto. In the event of any conflict
between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.” 

(b) In the event that each applicable Senior Representative and/or the Senior Secured Parties enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in
respect of any of the Senior Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Senior
Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor thereunder (including the release of any Liens in Senior Collateral) in a manner that is applicable to all Senior Facilities, then such amendment, waiver or
consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each comparable Second Priority Collateral Document without the consent of any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party and without any action by any Second
Priority Representative, the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor; provided, however, that written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to each Second Priority Representative within 10 Business Days after
the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent. 
 Section 5.04 Rights as Unsecured Creditors. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Parent Borrower and any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the
Second Priority Debt Documents and applicable law so long as such rights and remedies do not violate any express provision of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Second Priority Representative or any Second
Priority Debt Party of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Second Priority Debt Documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by a Second Priority
Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Shared Collateral. In the event any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in
respect of Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Second Priority Debt Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations on the same basis as
the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the Senior
Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties may have with respect to the Senior Collateral. 
 Section 5.05 Gratuitous Bailee for
Perfection. 
 (a) Each Senior Representative acknowledges and agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien securing any Senior
Obligations on any Shared Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held, and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the
possession or 

  
 19 








 
under the control of such Senior Representative, or of agents or bailees of such Person (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled
Collateral”), or if it shall any time obtain any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, the applicable Senior Representative shall also hold such
Pledged or Controlled Collateral, or take such actions with respect to such landlord waiver, bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement, as sub-agent or gratuitous bailee for the relevant Second Priority Representatives, in each case
solely for the purpose of perfecting the Liens granted under the relevant Second Priority Collateral Documents and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05. 

(b) In the event that any Senior Representative (or its agents or bailees) has Lien filings against Intellectual Property that is part of the
Shared Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Shared Collateral, such Senior Representative agrees to hold such Liens as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Second Priority Representatives and any assignee
thereof, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the relevant Second Priority Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05. 

(c) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Senior Representatives and
the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents as if the Liens under the Second Priority Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the
Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties with respect to the Pledged or Controlled Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement. 

(d) The Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Second Priority Representatives or
any Second Priority Debt Party to assure that any of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Shared Collateral, except as
expressly set forth in this Section 5.05. The duties or responsibilities of the Senior Representatives under this Section 5.05 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Shared Collateral and the related Liens referred to in
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.05 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Second Priority Representative for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Second Priority Representative. 

(e) The Senior Representatives shall not have by reason of the Second Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement, or any other document,
a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party, and each, Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt
Facility, hereby waives and releases the Senior Representatives from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Senior Representatives’ roles under this Section 5.05 as sub-agents and gratuitous bailees with respect to the Shared
Collateral. 
 (f) Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, each applicable Senior Representative shall, at the Grantors’ sole cost
and expense, (i) (A) deliver to the Designated Second Priority Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared 

  
 20 








 
Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Senior Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of
the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any
similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, or (B) direct and deliver such Shared Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct and (ii) notify any applicable insurance carrier
that it is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Grantor issued by such insurance carrier. The Parent Borrower and the other Grantors shall take such further action as is required to
effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify each Senior Representative for loss or damage suffered by such Senior Representative as a result of such transfer, except for loss or damage suffered by any such Person as a result of
its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Senior Representatives have no obligations to follow instructions from any Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Debt Party in contravention of this Agreement. 

(g) None of the Senior Representatives nor any of the other Senior Secured Parties shall be required to marshal any present or future
collateral security for any obligations of the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary to any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party under the Senior Debt Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof, or to resort to such collateral
security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing
or arising. 
 Section 5.06 When Discharge of Senior Obligations Deemed To Not Have Occurred. If, at any time concurrently with
or after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary enters into any Refinancing of any Senior Obligations, then such Discharge of Senior Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for
all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Senior Obligations) and the applicable agreement governing such Senior
Obligations shall automatically be treated as a Senior Debt Document for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Shared Collateral set forth herein and the agent, representative or
trustee for the holders of such Senior Obligations shall be the Senior Representative for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of notice of such incurrence (including the identity of the new Senior Representative), each Second Priority
Representative (including the Designated Second Priority Representative) shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (at the expense of the Parent Borrower), including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as the Parent
Borrower or such new Senior Representative shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide the new Senior Representative the rights of a Senior Representative contemplated hereby, (b) deliver to such Senior Representative, to the extent
that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Second Priority Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable,
of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or
any similar agreement or arrangement granting it 

  
 21 








 
rights or access to Shared Collateral and (c) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of
any Grantor issued by such insurance carrier. 
 ARTICLE VI 

INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS. 

Section 6.01 Financing Issues. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, if the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor
shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party shall desire to consent (or not object) to the sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral or to consent (or not object) to the
Parent Borrower’s or any other Grantor’s obtaining financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then
each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will raise no (a) objection to and will not otherwise contest such sale, use or lease of
such cash or other collateral or such DIP Financing and, except to the extent permitted by the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a) and Section 6.03, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection
therewith and, to the extent the Liens securing any Senior Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens in the Shared Collateral to
(x) such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement and (y) to any
“carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Representatives, (b) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against
foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Obligations made by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, (c) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any lawful exercise by any Senior Secured Party of the right to
credit bid Senior Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of Senior Collateral, (d) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any Senior Secured Party relating to the lawful
enforcement of any Lien on Senior Collateral or (e) objection to (and will not otherwise contest or oppose) any order relating to a sale or other disposition of assets of any Grantor for which any Senior Representative has consented that
provides, to the extent such sale or other disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as
the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Senior Obligations rank to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of
each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that notice received two Business Days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash or other collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate
notice. 
 Section 6.02 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Second
Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Shared Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative. 

  
 22 








 Section 6.03 Adequate Protection. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and
on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall (A) object, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (a) any request by any Senior Representative or
any Senior Secured Parties for adequate protection, (b) any objection by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on any Senior Representative’s or Senior Secured
Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection or (c) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party under Section 506(b) of Title 11 of the United States Code
or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or (B) assert or support any claim for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral under Section 506(c) of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision
of any other Bankruptcy Law. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03 or in Section 6.01, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate
protection in the form of additional collateral or superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision of any other
Bankruptcy Law, then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien or superpriority
claim on such additional collateral, which Lien or superpriority claim is subordinated to the Liens securing all Senior Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the
Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement, (ii) in the event any Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties under
their Second Priority Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional or replacement collateral, then such Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each
Second Priority Debt Party under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each Senior Representative shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional or replacement collateral as security for the Senior Obligations and any such DIP
Financing and that any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all
obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the Senior Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior
Obligations under this Agreement and (iii) in the event any Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and
such adequate protection is granted in the form of a super-priority claim, then such Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each Senior
Representative shall also be granted adequate protection in the form of a super-priority claim, which super-priority claim shall be senior to the super-priority claim of the Second Priority Debt Parties. 

  
 23 








 Section 6.04 Preference Issues. If any Senior Secured Party is required in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because the payment of such amount
was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, then the Senior Obligations shall
be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement until a Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to
all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise
affect the obligations of the parties hereto. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from
any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise
allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement. 

Section 6.05 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classifications. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on
behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Collateral Documents constitute separate
and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Second Priority Debt Obligations are fundamentally different from the Senior Obligations and must be separately classified
in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that any claims of the Senior Secured
Parties and the Second Priority Debt Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral constitute a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on
behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in
respect of the Shared Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Priority Debt Parties), the Senior Secured Parties
shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest (whether or not allowed or allowable) before any
distribution is made in respect of the Second Priority Debt Obligations, with each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledging and agreeing
to turn over to the Designated Senior Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the
Second Priority Debt Parties. 

  
 24 








 Section 6.06 No Waivers of Rights of Senior Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein
shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any way limit any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Second Priority
Debt Party, including the seeking by any Second Priority Debt Party of adequate protection or the assertion by any Second Priority Debt Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Priority Debt Documents or otherwise. 

Section 6.07 Application. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement”
under Section 510(a) of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The relative rights as to
the Shared Collateral and proceeds thereof shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or
use of cash collateral by, any Grantor. All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor. 

Section 6.08 Other Matters. To the extent that any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party has or
acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to any of the Shared Collateral, such Second Priority Representative, on behalf of
itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, or such Second Priority Debt Party agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent of each Senior Representative, provided that if
requested by any Senior Representative, such Second Priority Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Senior Representatives (acting unanimously), including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.

 Section 6.09 506(c) Claims. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Second Priority Representative, on
behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision of any other
Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Shared Collateral. 

Section 6.10 Reorganization Securities. (a) If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the
reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of both the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt
Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Obligations and on account of the Second Priority Debt Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement
will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations. 

(b) Each Second Priority Debt Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall not propose, vote in favor
of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any plan of reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement, other than with the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative or to the
extent any such plan is proposed or supported by the number of Senior Secured Parties required under Section 1126(d) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

  
 25 








 Section 6.11 Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Second Priority
Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, shall not object to, oppose, support any objection, or take any other action to impede, the right of any Senior Secured Party to
make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, waives any claim it may hereafter have
against any senior claimholder arising out of the election by any Senior Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

ARTICLE VII 

RELIANCE; ETC. 

Section 7.01 Reliance. All loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the Senior
Secured Parties to the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second
Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that it and such Second Priority Debt Parties have, independently and without reliance on any Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them
appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Second Priority Debt Documents to which they are party or by which they are bound, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and they will continue
to make their own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Second Priority Debt Documents or this Agreement. 

Section 7.02 No Warranties or Liability. Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt
Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that neither any Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution,
validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the Senior Debt Documents, the ownership of any Shared Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Senior Secured Parties will be entitled to manage
and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Debt Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Secured Parties may manage their loans and
extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties have in the Shared Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither any
Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party shall have any duty to any Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Debt Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of
an event of default or default under any 

  
 26 








 
agreement with the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary (including the Second Priority Debt Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly
set forth in this Agreement, the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any
warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectibility of any of the Senior Obligations, the Second Priority Debt Obligations or any guarantee or
security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) any Grantor’s title to or right to transfer any of the Shared Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. 

Section 7.03 Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the Senior Representatives, the
Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: 

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Debt Document or any Second Priority Debt Document; 

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Senior Obligations or Second Priority
Debt Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Senior Debt Document or of the terms of
any Second Priority Debt Document; 
 (c) any exchange of any security interest in any Shared Collateral or any other collateral or any
amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the Senior Obligations or Second Priority Debt Obligations or any guarantee thereof; 

(d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor; or 

(e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to (i) the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor in
respect of the Senior Obligations (other than the Discharge of Senior Obligations subject to Sections 5.06 and 6.04) or (ii) any Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Debt Party in respect of this Agreement. 

ARTICLE VIII 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 8.01 Conflicts. Subject to Section 8.21, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and
the provisions of any Senior Debt Document or any Second Priority Debt Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relative rights and obligations of the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured
Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect to any Senior Collateral shall be governed by the terms of (i) the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or (ii) the ABL 

  
 27 








 
Intercreditor Agreement, as may be applicable, and in the event of any conflict between the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, and this
Agreement, the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall control. 

Section 8.02 Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 6.04, this Agreement shall continue to be
effective until the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall have occurred. This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination, and the Senior Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Second Priority Representatives or any
Second Priority Debt Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary constituting Senior Obligations in reliance hereon. The terms of this Agreement shall
survive and continue in full force and effect in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

Section 8.03 Amendments; Waivers. 

(a) No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any party hereto in any
case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 (b) This Agreement may be
amended in writing signed by each Representative (in each case, acting in accordance with the documents governing the applicable Debt Facility); provided that any such amendment, supplement or waiver which by the terms of this Agreement
requires the Parent Borrower’s consent or which increases the obligations or reduces the rights of, or otherwise materially adversely affects, the Parent Borrower or any Grantor, shall require the consent of the Parent Borrower. Any such
amendment, supplement or waiver shall be in writing and shall be binding upon the Senior Secured Parties and the Second Priority Debt Parties and their respective successors and assigns. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Party, any Representative may become a party hereto by execution and
delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 8.09 of this Agreement and upon such execution and delivery, such Representative and the Secured Parties and Senior Obligations or Second Priority Debt Obligations of the Debt Facility
for which such Representative is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof.

Subsidiaries. The Senior Representatives (other than the Senior Representative for the Additional Senior Debt Parties under the 2018 Notes Indenture), the Senior Secured Parties (other than the Senior Representative for the Additional Senior
Debt Parties under the 2018 Notes Indenture and the Trustee under the 2018 Notes Indenture), the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial
condition of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries and all endorsers or guarantors of the Senior Obligations or the Second Priority Debt Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Senior
Obligations or the Second Priority Debt Obligations. The Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties shall have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of
information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that any Senior Representative, any Senior Secured Party, any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party, in its sole
discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make, and the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority
Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information
so provided, (ii) provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) undertake any investigation or (iv) disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial
finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential. 
 Section 8.05
Subrogation. Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder
until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred. 
 Section 8.06 Application of Payments. Except as otherwise provided
herein, all payments received by the Senior Secured Parties may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Senior Obligations as the Senior Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, consistent
with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, assents to any such extension or
postponement of the time of payment of the Senior Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of any security that may at any time secure any part of the Senior
Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor. 
 Section 8.07 Additional
Grantors. The Parent Borrower agrees that, if any Subsidiary shall become a Grantor after the date hereof, it will promptly cause such Subsidiary to become party hereto by executing and delivering an instrument in the form of Annex II. Upon


  
 29 








 
such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary will become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of such
instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder, and will be acknowledged by the Designated Second Priority Representative and the Designated Senior Representative. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement. 
 Section 8.08
Dealings with Grantors. Upon any application or demand by the Parent Borrower or any Grantor to any Representative to take or permit any action under any of the provisions of this Agreement, at the request of such Representative, the Parent
Borrower or such Grantor, as appropriate, shall furnish to such Representative a certificate of an authorized officer (an “Officer’s Certificate”) stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement,
relating to the proposed action have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement or any First Lien Debt
Document (as defined in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) or Second Priority Debt Document relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished. 

Section 8.09 Additional Debt Facilities. To the extent, but only to the extent, permitted by the provisions of the then extant
Senior Debt Documents and Second Priority Debt Documents, the Parent Borrower may incur or issue and sell one or more series or classes of Second Priority Debt and one or more series or classes of Additional Senior Debt. Any such additional class or
series of Second Priority Debt (the “Second Priority Class Debt”) may be secured by a second priority, subordinated Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and pursuant to the relevant Second Priority Collateral Documents for
such Second Priority Class Debt, if and subject to the condition that the Representative of any such Second Priority Class Debt (each, a “Second Priority Class Debt Representative”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Second
Priority Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect of any Second Priority Class Debt being referred to as the “Second Priority Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying conditions
(i) through (iii), as applicable, of the immediately succeeding paragraph. Any such additional class or series of Senior Facilities (the “Senior Class Debt”; and the Senior Class Debt and Second Priority Class Debt,
collectively, the “Class Debt”) may be secured by a senior Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and pursuant to the relevant Senior Collateral Documents, if and subject to the condition that the Representative of any such
Senior Class Debt (each, a “Senior Class Debt Representative”; and the Senior Class Debt Representatives and Second Priority Class Debt Representatives, collectively, the “Class Debt Representatives”), acting on
behalf of the holders of such Senior Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect of any such Senior Class Debt being referred to as the “Senior Class Debt Parties; and the Senior Class Debt Parties and Second Priority Class
Debt Parties, collectively, the “Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii), as applicable, of the immediately succeeding paragraph. In order for
a Class Debt Representative to become a party to this Agreement: 
 (i) such Class Debt Representative shall have executed
and delivered a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex III (if such Representative is a Second Priority Class Debt Representative) or Annex IV (if such Representative is a 

  
 30 








 
Senior Class Debt Representative) (with such changes as may be reasonably approved by the Designated Senior Representative and such Class Debt Representative) pursuant to which it becomes a
Representative hereunder, and the Class Debt in respect of which such Class Debt Representative is the Representative constitutes Additional Senior Debt Obligations or Second Priority Debt Obligations, as applicable, and the related Class Debt
Parties become subject hereto and bound hereby as Additional Senior Debt Parties or Second Priority Debt Parties, as applicable; 

(ii) the Parent Borrower (a) shall have delivered to the Designated Senior Representative an Officer’s Certificate
identifying the obligations to be designated as Additional Senior Debt Obligations or Second Priority Debt Obligations, as applicable, and the initial aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof and certifying that such obligations are
permitted to be incurred and secured (I) in the case of Additional Senior Debt Obligations, on a senior basis under each of the Senior Debt Documents and (II) in the case of Second Priority Debt Obligations, on a junior basis under each of the
Second Priority Debt Documents and (b) if requested, shall have delivered true and complete copies of each of the Second Priority Debt Documents or Senior Debt Documents, as applicable, relating to such Class Debt, certified as being true and
correct by an authorized officer of the Parent Borrower; and 
 (iii) the Second Priority Debt Documents or Senior Debt
Documents, as applicable, relating to such Class Debt shall provide that each Class Debt Party with respect to such Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a holder of such Class Debt. 

Section 8.10 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Representative, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties of the Debt
Facility for which it is acting, irrevocably and unconditionally: 
 (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of
America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; 
 (b) consents and agrees that any such action or
proceeding shall be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees
not to plead or claim the same; and 
 (c) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in
any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 8.10 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
