(New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances or (y) 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the
case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be made in
writing or by electronic mail or telecopier in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of
such Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each Lender shall, before 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make
available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the 

  
 19 







 
applicable Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable
conditions set forth in Article 3, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Agent’s address referred to in Section 8.02 or at the applicable Payment Office, as the case may be. 

(b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any
Borrowing if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.07 or 2.11. 
 (c)
Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against
any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, including, without limitation,
any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when
such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. 
 (d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior
to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing
in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such
ratable portion available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the higher of (A) the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (B) the cost of funds incurred by
the Agent in respect of such amount and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of
such Borrowing for purposes of this Bridge Agreement. 
 (e) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance 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 Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other
Lender on the date of any Borrowing. 
 Section 2.03. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent ratably for the
account of each Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender an undrawn commitment fee (the “Undrawn Commitment Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Commitments, which fee (i) shall accrue from
the later of the Effective Date and November 10, 2014 and (ii) shall be due and payable upon the earlier of the termination of the Commitments hereunder pursuant to Section 2.04 and the Closing Date. 

  
 20 







 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent ratably for the account of each Lender a duration fee
(the “Duration Fee”) in an amount equal to (i) 0.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding on the date which is 90 days after the Closing Date, due and payable on such 90th day (or if such day is not a
Business Day, the next Business Day); (ii) 0.75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding on the date which is 180 days after the Closing Date, due and payable on such 180th day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the
next Business Day); and (iii) 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding on the date which is 270 days after the Closing Date, due and payable on such 270th day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business
Day). 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent ratably for the account of each Lender a funding fee (the “Funding
Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances, which fee shall be due and payable on the Closing Date. 

(d) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own account such fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Borrower and the Agent.

 (e) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent and the other parties thereto the fees payable in the amounts and at the times set forth in
the Fee Letter, except that any “ticking fee” payable pursuant to the Fee Letter with respect to the Commitments shall, from the Effective Date, be replaced with the Undrawn Commitment Fee. 

Section 2.04. Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. (a) Prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have the right,
upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the Commitments of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. 
 (b) All unused Commitments shall automatically terminate after the Advances are made on the
Closing Date. In addition, the Commitments shall automatically terminate in the event that the Closing Date does not occur on or before the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 30, 2015 or such later date to which the End
Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have been extended pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement as in effect on September 11, 2014, but in any event not later than May 30, 2015 or (ii) the date on which the Merger
Agreement terminates or the Borrower publicly announces its intention not to proceed with the Merger. 
 (c) Upon the receipt prior to the
Closing Date of Net Cash Proceeds of any Prepayment Event, the Commitments shall automatically be reduced in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Prepayment Event (but subject in all respect to the reinvestment rights
set forth in the definition of “Net Cash Proceeds”). The Borrower shall notify the Agent of the occurrence of any Prepayment Event at least two Business Days prior to the consummation of such Prepayment Event and such notice shall be
accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of the anticipated Net Cash Proceeds thereof. Promptly 

  
 21 







 
following receipt of such notice, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the occurrence of the Prepayment Event and the anticipated Net Cash Proceeds thereof. Any termination or reduction of the
Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 

Section 2.05. Repayment of Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Maturity
Date the aggregate principal amount of the Advances made to it and then outstanding. 
 Section 2.06. Interest on Advances.
(a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made to it and owing to each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the
following rates per annum: 
 (i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a
rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September
and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full. 
 (ii)
Eurodollar Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period
for such Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during
such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full. 

(b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may, and upon the request of the
Required Lenders shall, require the Borrower to pay interest (“Default Interest”) on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i) or
(a)(ii) above, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount
of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a
rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above, provided, however, that following the acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Section
6.01, Default Interest shall accrue and be payable whether or not previously required by the Agent. 
 Section 2.07. Interest Rate
Determination. (a) The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.06(a)(i) or (ii). 

  
 22 







 (b) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Agent that
(i) they are unable to obtain matching deposits in the London inter-bank market at or about 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the second Business Day before the making of a Borrowing in sufficient amounts to fund their respective Advances as a part
of such Borrowing during its Interest Period or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate
Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (A) the Borrower will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, either (x) prepay such Advances or
(y) Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
 (c) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for
any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the
last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Advances. 
 (d) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $10,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances. 

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the
last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be Converted into Base Rate Advances and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended. 

(f) If the rates calculated by the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration Ltd (ICE) (or the successor thereto if the ICE Benchmark
Administration is no longer making such a rate available) appearing on the Reuters LIBOR01 page of the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration Ltd (ICE) (or on any successor or substitute page of such service) are unavailable: 

(i) the Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such
Eurodollar Rate Advances, 
 (ii) with respect to each Eurodollar Rate Advance, each such Advance will automatically, on the
last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and 
 (iii) the obligation of the
Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to Convert Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 

Section 2.08. Optional Conversion of Advances. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than
11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third 

  
 23 







 
Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Section 2.07 and 2.11, Convert all Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing made to the
Borrower into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any
Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more than six separate
Borrowings. Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the
duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. 

Section 2.09. Prepayments of Advances. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon notice at least two Business Days’
prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances, to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate
principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing made to the Borrower in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued
interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment of Advances shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $10,000,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(c). 

(b) Mandatory. (i) Within five Business Days of the receipt on or after the Closing Date of any Net Cash Proceeds from any
Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay the Advances in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds (but subject in all respect to the reinvestment rights set forth in the definition of “Net Cash
Proceeds”). The Borrower shall notify the Agent of the occurrence of any Prepayment Event at least two Business Days prior to the consummation of such Prepayment Event and such notice shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of
the anticipated Net Cash Proceeds thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the occurrence of the Prepayment Event and the anticipated Net Cash Proceeds thereof. 

(ii) Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.09(b) shall be made together with any interest accrued to the date of such
prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period or at its maturity, any additional amounts which the Borrower shall be obligated to
reimburse to the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(c). 
 Amounts repaid or prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.09 may not be reborrowed.

 Section 2.10. Increased Costs. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or 

  
 24 







 
request from any central bank or other governmental authority including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having
the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding, continuing, converting to or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.10 any such increased costs
resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.13 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the
laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for
the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline
or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling
such Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend and other commitments of such type, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the
Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such
Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding
for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (c) For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of this Section 2.10, (x) the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith (whether or not having the force of law) and (y) all requests, rules,
regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities
(whether or not having the force of law), in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented. 

Section 2.11. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Bridge Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that
the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its
obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, (a) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand be Converted into a Base Rate Advance and (b) the
obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to Convert Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer
exist. 

  
 25 







 Section 2.12. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each
payment hereunder, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Agent at the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Agent will
promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest, fees or commissions ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.03(d), 2.10, 2.13 or 8.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of
their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of
this Bridge Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption,
the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments
for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. 
 (b) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate (other than
as calculated by reference to clauses (b) or (c) of the definition of Base Rate) and of the Undrawn Commitment Fee shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be and all other computations of
interest and of fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or commitment fees
are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made
on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, fee or commission, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause
payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. 

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that
the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due
date an amount equal to the amount then due to such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. 

  
 26 







 Section 2.13. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under
the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.12, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding
(i) in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is
organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending
Office or any political subdivision thereof and (ii) any United States withholding tax imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or
under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum
payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.13) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal
to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance
with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or
property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Bridge Agreement or the Notes
(hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for and hold it
harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.13) imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be)
and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section
8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder
or under the Notes by or on behalf of the Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of the Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrower determines that no Taxes are payable in
respect thereof, the Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection
(d) and subsection (e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. 

  
 27 







 (e) (i) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or
prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Bridge Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to
time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Agent and the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or
W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service (and such additional documentation required thereby), certifying that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States
withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Bridge Agreement or the Notes. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Bridge Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of
zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered
excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided, however, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which a Lender assignee becomes a party to this Bridge Agreement, the Lender assignor was
entitled to payments under subsection (a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the
future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of
information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, that the Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall
give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. 

(ii) If a payment made to a Lender under this Bridge Agreement 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal
Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s
obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. 
 Solely for purposes of this Section
2.13(e)(ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (f) For any period with
respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in Section 2.13(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be
provided, or if such form otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender 

  
 28 







 
shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.13(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a
Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes. 

(g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.13 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its
internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter
accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 Section 2.14.
Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Advances or other obligations hereunder resulting in such
Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion
shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of
all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Advances and other amounts owing them; provided that: 

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to
and in accordance with the express terms of this Bridge Agreement, or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to
the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 
 The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to
the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim, subject to Section 8.05, with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

Section 2.15. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of
Advances. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for 

  
 29 







 
such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such
Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Commitment of such Lender. 
 (b) The Register maintained
by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of
Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable
or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof. 

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

Section 2.16. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such
proceeds) solely to (a) pay a portion of the Merger Consideration, (b) refinance certain of the existing Indebtedness of the Acquired Business and (c) pay the Transaction Costs. The Borrower will not request any Advance, and the
Borrower shall not use, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not directly or indirectly use, the proceeds of any Advance (a) in furtherance of an offer, payment,
promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (b) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or
transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person with which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is prohibited from engaging in business, or in any Sanctioned Country in which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is prohibited from engaging in
business or (c) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto. 

Section 2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or requires the Borrower to pay
any Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable
Lending Office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.13, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not 

  
 30 







 
subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.10 or the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is
unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.17(a), (ii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender does not approve any consent, waiver or amendment that (x) requires the approval of all
affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 8.01 and (y) has been approved by the Required Lenders (a “Non-Approving Lender”), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender
and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 8.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Bridge
Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 

(A) the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 8.07; 

(B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts under Section 8.04(c)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all
other amounts); 
 (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10 or
payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 

(D) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and 

(E) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Approving Lender, the applicable assignee shall have
consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. 
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, (A) the obligation of each Lender to make Advances shall automatically be terminated and (B) the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. 

Section 6.02. Preservation of Remedies. The parties hereto agree that the delivery by the Borrower of any Closing Date
Schedule shall not be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default that may arise under Section 6.01 or any right or remedy of the Agent or the Lenders provided for herein.

 ARTICLE 7 

THE AGENT 

Section 7.01. Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank to act on its behalf as the
Agent hereunder and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of
this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein (or
any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and
is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 
 Section 7.02. Rights as a
Lender. The Person serving as the 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 Agent, and the term “Lender” or
“Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent
hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 
 Section 7.03. Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Agent
shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: 

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing; 
 (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders; provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the
opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Bridge Agreement or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law;
and 
 (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

(b) The 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 

  
 51 







 
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.01 and Article 6), or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is
given to the Agent in writing by a Borrower or a Lender. 
 (c) The 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 Bridge Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (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 Bridge Agreement or
any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 3 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent. 

Section 7.04. Reliance by Agent. The 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 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 an Advance, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall
have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

Section 7.05. Indemnification. (a) Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed
by the Borrower), from and against such Lender’s Ratable Share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Bridge Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Bridge Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”),
provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly
upon demand for its Ratable Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether
through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Bridge Agreement, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any
investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third party. 

  
 52 







 (b) The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its Ratable Share
of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Agent for its Ratable Share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Agent for such other Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in
this Section 7.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes. The Agent agrees to return to the Lenders their respective Ratable Shares of any amounts paid under this Section
7.05 that are subsequently reimbursed by the Borrower. 
 Section 7.06. Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all
of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The 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 Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Commitments as well as activities as Agent. The Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the
selection of such sub-agents. 
 Section 7.07. Resignation of Agent. (a) The Agent
may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a
bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after
the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. 

(b) If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with
such notice on the Removal Effective Date. 

  
 53 







 (c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable)
(1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, the retiring or removed Agent shall continue to hold
such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such
time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit
of such retiring or removed 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 Agent was acting as
Agent. 
 Section 7.08. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the 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 Bridge Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the 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 Bridge Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder. 

Section 7.09. Other Agents. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that no Arranger, no syndication agent and no documentation agent nor
any other Lender designated as any “Agent” (other than the Agent) on the signature pages or the cover hereof has any obligation, responsibility or liability hereunder other than in its capacity as a Lender. 

ARTICLE 8 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 8.01. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Bridge Agreement or the Notes, nor consent to any
departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders affected thereby, do any of the following: (a) waive any of the conditions specified in

8.01; and provided further that (x) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Agent under
this Bridge Agreement or any Note and (y) no amendment or waiver of, or consent with respect to, Section 8.07(g) shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender that has granted a funding option to an SPC in addition to the Lenders required
above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of such Lender or SPC under this Bridge Agreement or any Note. 

Section 8.02. Notices, Etc. (a) Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent

delivered through electronic communications, to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b). 

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic
communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article
2 if such Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by
electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 

Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the
sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail 

  
 55 







 
or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at
its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such

(c) Change of Address, etc. Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder
by notice to the other parties hereto. 
 (d) Platform. 

(i) The Borrower agrees that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available
to the Lenders by posting the Communications on DebtDomain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). 

(ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not
warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. 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 any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Agent or any of its Related Parties
(collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential
damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice,
demand, communication, information, document or other material that the Borrower provides to the Agent pursuant to this Bridge Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Agent to any Lender by means of electronic
communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform. 
 Section 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the
part of any Lender or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right 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 8.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay promptly following demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses of the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of this Bridge Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation,
(A) all reasonable due diligence, syndication (including printing, distribution and 

  
 56 







 
bank meetings), transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, consultant, and audit expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent with respect thereto and
with respect to advising the Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under this Bridge Agreement. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent and the Lenders, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable
counsel fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Bridge Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a). 

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors,
employees, agents, partners and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by or
asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in
connection therewith) (i) the Notes, this Bridge Agreement, the Transactions and any of the other transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of any
Material of Environmental Concern on any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Claim or other liability relating to any Environmental Law relating in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except in
each case to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In
the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its
directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Borrower also agrees not to assert
any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against the Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, arising out of or
otherwise relating to the Notes, this Bridge Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances. 

(c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender
other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.07(d) or (e), 2.09 or 2.11, acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other
reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance upon an assignment of rights and obligations under this Bridge Agreement pursuant to Section 8.07 as a result of a demand by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17(b), the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional
losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment
of 

  
 57 







 
deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance. A certificate as to the amount of such compensation, submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender, shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.10, 2.13 and 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes. 

Section 8.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the
making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender and each of its Affiliates 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 Lender or such
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Bridge Agreement and the Note held by such Lender, whether or
not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Bridge Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Borrower 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 Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
rights of set-off) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have. 
 Section 8.06. Binding Effect. Subject to Section 3.01, this
Bridge Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, the Agent and the Initial Lenders and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party
hereto shall be null and void). 
 Section 8.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Successors and Assigns
Generally. No Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or
transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Bridge 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 paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Bridge Agreement. 

  
 58 







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

 (i) Minimum Amounts. 

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

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment or the principal
outstanding balance of the Advances 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 Agent or, if “Trade Date” is
specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Bridge Agreement with respect to the Advance or the Commitment assigned. 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph
(b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A) prior to the Closing Date, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to an Approved Lender, a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or
an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof; 

(B) on or after the Closing Date, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required, provided that any assigning Lender
shall consult the Borrower prior to any assignment; and 
 (C) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for all assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not an Approved Lender, a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender. 

  
 59 







 (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of
any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (v) No
Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person or a holding company,
investment vehicle or trust for or owned by and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the
Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Bridge Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Bridge 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 Bridge Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Bridge Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11 and 8.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Bridge
Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Bridge Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section. 

(c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United
States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of (and shall record in such register) the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of
the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Bridge Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice
to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Bridge Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Bridge 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 

  
 60 







 
Borrower, the Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Bridge Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 7.05 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s). 

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 Bridge Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Bridge Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 8.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 to the same extent as if
it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.17 as if it were an assignee under paragraph
(b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.05 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 agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to
cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.17 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.05 as though it were a Lender;
provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on
which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or
its other obligations under this Bridge Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United
States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all
purposes of this Bridge Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register 

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 or 2.13
than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant
that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the
benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.13(e) as though it were a Lender. 

  
 61 







 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in
all or any portion of its rights under this Bridge Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority 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) Each Lender may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) the option to fund all or any part of any Advance
that such Lender is obligated to fund under this Bridge Agreement (and upon the exercise by such SPC of such option to fund, such Lender’s obligations with respect to such Advance shall be deemed satisfied to the extent of any amounts funded by
such SPC); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Bridge Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Bridge Agreement, (iv) any such option granted to an SPC shall not constitute a commitment by such SPC to fund any Advance, (v) neither the grant nor the exercise of such option to an SPC shall increase the costs
or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Bridge Agreement (including, without limitation, its obligations under Section 2.13) and (vi) no SPC shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver
of any provision of this Bridge Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or
other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such grant of funding option, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case
to the extent subject to such grant of funding option. Each party to this Bridge Agreement hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Bridge Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable. In
furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreements shall survive the termination of this Bridge Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial
paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United
States or any State thereof. 
 Section 8.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Lenders agree to maintain the
confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as defined below), except that Confidential Information may be disclosed on a confidential basis (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have
jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any action or proceeding relating to this Bridge Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder;


  
 62 







 
(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in,
any of its rights and obligations under this Bridge Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and
its obligations, this Bridge Agreement or payments hereunder and credit insurers; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or this Bridge Agreement or (ii) the
CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to this Bridge Agreement; (h) with the consent of the Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Confidential Information
(x) becomes available to the Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or (y) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of confidentiality
obligations known to the Agent, such Lender. 
 For purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” means all
information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent, any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly
identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

Section 8.09. Governing Law. This Bridge Agreement and the Notes and any claim, controversy and dispute arising hereunder or
thereunder, or with respect hereto or thereto, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, provided that (i) the interpretation of the definition of “Company Material Adverse
Effect” (and whether or not a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred) and (ii) the determination of the accuracy of any Merger Agreement Representations and whether as a result of any inaccuracy thereof the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates has the right to terminate (or decline to perform) its obligations under the Merger Agreement shall, in each case, be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware. 

Section 8.10. Execution in Counterparts. This Bridge Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties hereto 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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Bridge Agreement by telecopier or by e-mail transmission of an electronic file in Adobe Corporation’s Portable Document Format or PDF file shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Bridge Agreement. 

Section 8.11. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not
commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Agent, any Lender or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Bridge


  
 63 







 
Agreement or any Note or the Transactions or other transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the
United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in
any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Bridge Agreement or in any Note shall affect any right that the
Agent or any Lender or may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Bridge Agreement or any Note against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to
the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties hereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address specified pursuant to Section 8.02. Each of the parties
hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Bridge Agreement shall affect any
right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Bridge Agreement or the Notes in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Bridge Agreement or the Notes in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

Section 8.12. Power of Attorney. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower may from time to time authorize and appoint the Borrower as its
attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver (a) any amendment, waiver or consent in accordance with Section 8.01 on behalf of and in the name of such Subsidiary and (b) any notice or other communication hereunder, on behalf of and in the name
of such Subsidiary. Such authorization shall become effective as of the date on which such Subsidiary delivers to the Agent a power of attorney enforceable under applicable law and any additional information to the Agent as necessary to make such
power of attorney the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Subsidiary. 
 Section 8.13. Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby
notifies the Borrower, each Subsidiary of the Borrower and each other obligor or grantor (each a “Loan Party”) that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,
2001) (the “PATRIOT Act”)), that it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such
Lender to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. 
 Section 8.14. No Fiduciary Duties. The Borrower agrees
that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection 

  
 64 







 
therewith, the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent, the Arranger, the syndication agent, the documentation agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other
hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agent, the Lenders and or respective Affiliates and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any
such transactions or communications. 
 Section 8.15. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders hereby
irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Bridge Agreement or the Notes or the actions of the Agent or any Lender in the
negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof. 
 Section 8.16. Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents
contain the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto other than the Fee Letter and the Commitment Letter referred to therein.
