 (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or 
 (ii) the Administrative Agent is
advised in writing by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest
Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 

Section 2.12 Increased Costs; Change in Legality. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement
against property of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate); 

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this
Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender; or 
 (iii) subjects any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes
(other than (A) Indemnified Taxes indemnified pursuant to Section 2.15 and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its Loans, principal, letters of credit, Commitments, or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital
attributable thereto; 

  
 56 








 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such
Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, upon its demand, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, it being understood that, to the extent duplicative of the provisions of Section 2.15, this Section 2.12 shall not apply to Taxes. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any
additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. The protection of this Section 2.12 shall be available
to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed. 

(b) If any Lender determines (in good faith, but in its sole absolute discretion) that any Change in Law regarding Capital Requirements has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, to a level
below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 2.12(a) or (b) shall be delivered to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within three Business Days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part
of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender for any
increased costs or reductions incurred more than 365 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 365-day period referred to above shall be extended to indicate the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

  
 57 








 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it
unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to Borrower and to the Administrative Agent: 

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness (as determined in
good faith by such Lender)) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Loan (or
to convert an ABR Loan to a Eurodollar Loan or to continue a Eurodollar Loan for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional
Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn by such Lender by written notice to Borrower and to the Administrative Agent; and 

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all
such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in Section 2.12(f). 
 In the
event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i)or (ii)above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted
Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans. 

(f) For purposes of Section 2.12(e), a notice to Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such
Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by Borrower. 

Section 2.13 Breakage Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment, whether optional or mandatory, of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had
such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate 

  
 58 








 
excluding the Applicable Margin that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the
case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurodollar Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the
interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable
detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within three Business Days after receipt thereof. 

Section 2.14 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) Borrower shall make each payment required
to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under
such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. Any amounts received
after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative
Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the persons specified
therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day
that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such
extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
principal then due to such parties. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim (including pursuant to
Section 10.08) or otherwise (including by exercise of its rights under the Security Documents), obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater
proportion of the aggregate 

  
 59 








 
amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary 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
Loans; 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 Section 2.14(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment
obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of its Loans to any Eligible Assignee or participant, other than to any Company or any Affiliates thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.14(c) shall
apply). Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Legal Requirements, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan
Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. If under applicable Insolvency Law any Secured Party receives a
secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this Section 2.14(c) applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to
which the Secured Party is entitled under this Section 2.14(c) to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim. 

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to
make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to 2.14(d) or 10.03(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 

Section 2.15 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and free and clear of and without deduction, reduction or 

  
 60 








 
withholding for any and all Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes shall be required by applicable Legal Requirements to be deducted or
withheld from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the relevant Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions (including such deductions, reductions or withholdings applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions, reductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the relevant
Loan Party, if applicable, shall make such deductions, reductions or withholdings and (iii) the relevant Loan Party, if applicable, shall timely pay the full amount so deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable Legal Requirements. 
 (b) In addition, and without any duplication, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, or at the option of the Administrative Agent reimburse it for payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(c) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within three Business Days after written
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or
under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) and any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a
Loan Party by a Lender (in each case, with a copy delivered concurrently to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes
attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes
attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are
payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and
apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d). 


  
 61 








 (e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and in any event
within 30 days following any such payment being due, by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the Tax Return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(f) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by
applicable Legal Requirements, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding
or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender shall (i) furnish to Borrower and the Administrative Agent either (a) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form), (b) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form) (c) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8EXP (or successor form) or (d) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or successor form) (with any required attachments), certifying, in each case, to such Foreign Lender’s
legal entitlement to an exemption or reduction from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to all payments hereunder, and (ii) to the extent it may lawfully do so at such times, upon reasonable request by Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, provide a new Form W-8BEN (or successor form), Form W-8ECI (or successor form), Form W-8EXP (or successor form) or Form W8IMY (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form to reconfirm any complete
exemption from, or any entitlement to a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payment hereunder (or shall promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its legal inability to provide such form); provided
that any Foreign Lender (or other beneficial owner of a payment hereunder) that is relying on the so-called “portfolio interest exemption” within the meaning of Section 881(c) of the Code shall also furnish a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate” in the form of Exhibit L if it is furnishing a Form W-8BEN. Any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall (i) furnish to Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying its exemption from backup withholding, or shall otherwise establish an exemption from U.S. backup withholding and (ii) upon reasonable request by Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
provide a new From W-9 (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form. 

  
 62 








 (g) If a payment made to a Lender hereunder may be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax under
FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable
Legal Requirements and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its 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 2.15(g), the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments to FATCA after the date hereof. 

(h) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or an assignee) determines in its sole discretion that it has received a refund of any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or the Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent or such
Lender (or assignee) is required to repay all or a portion of such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority, Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee), shall repay the amount paid over to Borrower that
is required to be repaid (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) within three Business Days after receipt of written notice that the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) is required to repay such refund (or a portion thereof) to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained in this Section 2.15(h) shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or
assignee) to make available its Tax Returns or any other information which it reasonably deems confidential or privileged to Borrower or any other person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will the Administrative Agent or any
Lender (or assignee) be required to pay any amount to Borrower the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or assignee) in a less favorable net after-tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or
assignee) would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid. 

Section 2.16 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b), or if Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding
or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or 


  
 63 








 
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce materially amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12(a), 2.12(b) or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would
not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense, (iii) would not require such Lender to take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions, and (iv) would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower shall pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting forth such costs and expenses submitted by such
Lender to the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. In the event (i) any
Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or (b), (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.12(e), (iii) Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, (iv) any Lender fails to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by Borrower that
requires the consent of 100% of the Lenders or 100% of all affected Lenders and, which, in each case, has been consented to by all other Lenders or all other affected Lenders, as the case may be, or (v) any Lender defaults in its obligations to
make Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder, Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an
Eligible Assignee which shall assume such assigned obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (w) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (x) such
assignment shall not conflict with any applicable Legal Requirement, (y) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) Borrower or
such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest and any prepayment premium or penalty (if any) accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding
Loans of such Lender affected by such assignment plus all Fees and other amounts owing to or accrued for the account of such Lender (including any amounts under Sections 2.12 and 2.13); provided further that, if prior to any
such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b) or notice under Section 2.12(e) or the amounts paid pursuant to
Section 2.15, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in
Section 2.12(e), or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.15, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(a)), or if such Lender shall
waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.12(a) or (b) in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.12(e) or shall waive its right to further payments
under Section 2.15 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make


  
 64 








 
any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and
deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.16(b). 

(c) Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then (i) during any Default Period (as defined below) with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender”, and the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and Loans
shall be excluded for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, except that the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s
Commitments and Loans shall be included for purposes of voting, and the calculation of voting, on the matters set forth in Section 10.02(b)(i)-(ix) (including the granting of any consents or waivers) only to the extent that any such
matter disproportionately affects such Defaulting Lender and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero,
(A) any voluntary prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall, if Borrower so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders in accordance with
Section 2.10(a) as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding, and (B) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.10 shall, if Borrower so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment,
be applied to the Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Loans of such Defaulting Lender) in accordance with Section 2.10, it being understood and agreed that Borrower shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment
of the Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (B). 

For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Funding Default” means, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, the
occurrence of any of the events set forth in the definition of “Defaulting Lender,” (ii) “Defaulted Loan” means the Loans of a Defaulting Lender; (iii) “Default Period” means, with respect to any
Defaulting Lender, the period commencing on the date of the applicable Funding Default and ending on the earliest of the following dates: (a) the date on which all Commitments are cancelled or terminated and/or the Obligations and the Specified
Hedging Agreement Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement) are declared or become immediately due and payable, (b) with respect to any Funding Default, the date on which (1) such Defaulting Lender shall have delivered to Borrower
and the Administrative Agent a written reaffirmation of its intention to honor its obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Commitment(s), and (b) the date on which Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders waive
all Funding Defaults of such Defaulting Lender in writing. 

  
 65 








 ARTICLE III

(d) Each Company owns or has rights to use all of its property and all rights with respect to any of the foregoing used in, necessary for or
material to each Company’s business as currently conducted. The use by each Company of its property and all such rights with respect to the foregoing do not infringe on the rights or other interests of any person, other than any infringement
that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been made and remains outstanding that any Company’s use of any of its property does or may violate the rights of any
third party that, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. The Real Property is zoned in all material respects to permit the uses for which such Real Property is currently
being used. The present uses of the Real Property and the current operations of each Company’s business do not violate in any material respect any provision of any applicable building codes, subdivision regulations, fire regulations, health
regulations or building and zoning by-laws. 
 (e) Except for exceptions to the following that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, there is no pending or threatened condemnation or eminent domain proceeding with respect to, or that could affect any of the Real Property of the Companies. 

Each parcel of Real Property is taxed as a separate tax lot and is currently being used in a manner that is consistent with and in compliance
in all material respects with the property classification assigned to it for real estate tax assessment purposes. 
 Section 3.06
Intellectual Property. Each Company owns or is licensed to use, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), all patents and patent applications, trademarks, trade names, service marks, copyrights, domain names and
applications for registration thereof, technology, trade secrets, proprietary information, inventions, know-how 

  
 68 








 
and processes (the “Intellectual Property”), in each case necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, except for those the failure to own or license which,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (a) No claim has been asserted
and is pending by any person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does any Loan Party know, as of the date hereof, of any valid basis for any
such claim, which, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of such Intellectual Property by each Company does not infringe the rights of any person, except for such claims and
infringements which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except pursuant to licenses and other user agreements entered into by each Company in the ordinary course of business, no
Company has done anything to authorize or enable any other person to use any such Intellectual Property. Each Company has taken commercially reasonable actions that in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment should have been taken to
protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all trade secrets used in such Company’s business. 
 (b) No Violations or
Proceedings. (i) To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, there is no violation by others of any right of any Company with respect to any Intellectual Property, other than such violations that, individually or in the aggregate, could not

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) no Company is in breach of, or in default under, any license of Intellectual Property by any other person, to such Company, except in any case where such breach or default,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) no proceedings have been instituted or are pending against any Company or, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, threatened, and
no claim against any Company has been received by any Company, alleging any such infringement or misappropriation, except to the extent that such proceedings or claims, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) No Impairment. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, nor the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will alter, impair or otherwise affect or require the consent, approval or other authorization of any other person in respect of any
right of any Company in any Intellectual Property, except to the extent that such alteration, impairment, effect, consent, approval or other authorization, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. 

  
 69 








 (d) No Agreement or Order Materially Affecting Intellectual Property. No Company is
subject to any settlement, covenant not to sue or other instrument, agreement or other document, or any outstanding Order, which may materially affect the validity or enforceability or restrict in any manner such Company’s use, licensing or
transfer of any of the Intellectual Property. 
 Section 3.07 Equity Interests and Subsidiaries. (a) Schedule
3.07(a) sets forth a list of (i) each Subsidiary of Borrower and its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization as of the Closing Date and (ii) the number of each class of its Equity Interests authorized, and the number outstanding,
on the Closing Date and the number of Equity Interests covered by all outstanding options, warrants, rights of conversion or purchase and similar rights on the Closing Date. All Equity Interests of each Company are duly and validly issued and are
fully paid and non-assessable, and, other than the Equity Interests of Borrower are directly or indirectly owned by Borrower. Each Loan Party is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Equity Interests pledged
by (or purporting to be pledged by) it under the Security Documents, free of any and all Liens, rights or claims of other persons, except the security interest created by the Security Documents and any Permitted Liens that arise by operation of
applicable Legal Requirements and are not voluntarily granted, and, as of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights (including derivatives) to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar agreements
outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any such Equity Interests (or any economic or voting interests therein). 

(b) No consent of any person, including any general or limited partner, any other member or manager of a limited liability company, any
shareholder, any other trust beneficiary or derivative counterparty, is necessary or reasonably desirable (from the perspective of a secured party) in connection with the creation, perfection or first priority status (or the maintenance thereof) of
the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any Equity Interests pledged to the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents or the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Lender of the voting or other rights provided for in the Security
Documents or the exercise of remedies in respect of such Equity Interests. 
 Section 3.08 Litigation; Compliance with Legal
Requirements. (a) There are no actions, suits, claims, disputes or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the best of the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting
any Company or any business, property or rights of any Company (i) that purport to affect or involve any Loan Document or any of the Transactions or (ii) that have resulted, or could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect.

instrument or other document or subject to any corporate or other constitutional restriction, or any restriction under its Organizational Documents, that has resulted, or could reasonably be expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect.

 Section 3.10 Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) No Company is engaged
principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing, buying or carrying Margin Stock. 

(b) No part of the proceeds of any Credit Extension will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or
ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X. The pledge of the Securities Collateral pursuant to the Security Agreement does
not violate such regulations. 
 Section 3.11 Investment Company Act, etc. No Company is (a) an “investment
company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (b)subject to regulation under any Legal Requirement (other
than Regulation X) that limits its ability to incur, create, assume or permit to exist Indebtedness or grant any Contingent Obligation in respect of Indebtedness. 

Section 3.12 Use of Proceeds. Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans (x) to finance the Transactions and pay any
related fees and expenses, (y) for Investments and Permitted Acquisitions in each case permitted hereunder and (z) general corporate purposes. 

Section 3.13 Taxes. Each Company has (a) timely filed or caused to be timely filed all federal, state, local and
foreign Tax Returns required to have been filed by it and all such Tax Returns are true and correct in all material respects and (b) duly and timely paid or caused to be duly and timely paid all U.S. federal income Taxes and all other material
Taxes (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) due and payable by it and all material Tax assessments received by it, except Taxes or Tax assessments that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Company has
set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. No Company has received written notice of any threatened tax assessments, deficiencies, audits or other proceedings and no such threatened (or any pending) tax assessments,
deficiencies, audits or other proceedings could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect. No Company has ever “participated” in a “listed transaction” within the meaning of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(2). No Company is party to any tax sharing or similar agreement other than any such agreement among the Companies, except any such agreement that is not primarily concerned with the sharing of Taxes. 

Section 3.14 No Material Misstatements. Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or
other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any information or similar


  
 71 








 
memorandum nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with
the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed
to be reasonable at the time. 
 Section 3.15 Labor Matters. There are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any
Company pending or, to the best of the knowledge of the Loan Parties, threatened that have resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of any Company have
not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or any other applicable Legal Requirement dealing with such matters in any manner that has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse
Effect. All payments due from any Company, or for which any claim may be made against any Company, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of such
Company except to the extent that the failure to do so has not resulted in, and could not reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of
renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Company is bound. 
 Section 3.16
Solvency. Both immediately before and immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Closing Date and immediately following the making of each Credit Extension and after giving effect to the application of the
proceeds of each Credit Extension, (a) the fair value of the properties of each Loan Party will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of each Loan Party
will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, (c) each Loan Party
will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; (d) each Loan Party will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct its business in
which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed, contemplated or about to be conducted following the Closing Date; and (e) each Loan Party is “solvent” within the meaning given to that term and similar terms
under any United States federal or state laws relating to fraudulent transfers and conveyances. 
 Section 3.17 Employee Benefit
Plans. (a) Except as would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each of its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including all applicable provisions of ERISA
and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, with respect to all Employee Benefit Plans and Pension Plans. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a
favorable determination from the Internal Revenue Service for all required amendments and to the Company’s knowledge nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification. 

  
 72 








 (b) Except as would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no ERISA Event
has occurred or is expected to occur and no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability. Within the last six years, no Pension Plan has been terminated, whether or not in a “standard termination” as that term is used in
Section 4041 of ERISA, nor has any Pension Plan (determined at any time within the last six years) with an Unfunded Pension Liability been transferred outside of the “controlled group” (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(14)
of ERISA) of any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates to all
Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, have not resulted in, and could not reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.

 (c) Except as would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Foreign Plan has been maintained in substantial
compliance with its terms and with the requirements of all Legal Requirements and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. Except as would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, no Company has incurred any material obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Plan. Except as would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of the accrued
benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Plan which is funded, determined as of the end of the most recently ended, fiscal year of the respective Company on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did
not exceed the current value of the property of such Foreign Plan, and for each Foreign Plan which is not funded, the obligations of such Foreign Plan are properly accrued. 

Section 3.18 Environmental Matters. (a) Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate,
to result in a loss to the condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, assets, properties, solvency, business, prospects or value of the Companies, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $2,500,000:

 73 









	 	(iii)	there has been no Release or threatened Release or any handling, management, generation, treatment, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any Real Property or facility presently or formerly

Environmental Claim; 

  

	 	(v)	no Company is obligated to perform any action or otherwise incur any expense under Environmental Law, including pursuant to any Order or agreement by which it is bound or has assumed by contract or agreement, and no
Company is conducting or financing any Response pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to any Real Property or any other location; 

  

	 	(vi)	no Real Property or facility owned, operated or leased by the Companies and, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, no Real Property or facility formerly owned, operated or leased by any of the Companies or any of their
predecessors in interest is (i) listed or proposed for listing on the National Priorities List as defined in and promulgated pursuant to CERCLA or (ii) listed on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Information System promulgated pursuant to CERCLA or (iii) included on any similar list maintained by any Governmental Authority that indicates that any Company has or may have an obligation to undertake investigatory or remediation obligations
under applicable Environmental Laws;

  

	 	(vii)	there are no underground or aboveground storage tanks, whether empty or containing any Hazardous Material, located on any Real Property; and 


 

	 	(viii)	the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not require any
notification, registration, filing, reporting, disclosure, investigation, remediation or cleanup obligations pursuant to any Governmental Real Property Disclosure Requirements or any other Environmental Law. 


  
 74 








 Section 3.19 Insurance. Schedule 3.19 sets forth a true, complete and
accurate description in reasonable detail of all insurance maintained by each Company as of the Closing Date. Each Company has insurance in such amounts and covering such risks and liabilities as are customary for companies of a similar size engaged
in similar businesses in similar locations. All insurance maintained by the Companies is in full force and effect, all premiums have been duly paid, no Company has received notice of violation, invalidity or cancellation thereof, the Premises, and
the use, occupancy and operation thereof, comply in all material respects with all Insurance Requirements, and there exists no default under any Insurance Requirement. 

Section 3.20 Reserved.

Parties, none of its Affiliates is in violation of any Legal Requirements relating to terrorism or money laundering (“Anti-Terrorism Laws”), including Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001
(the “Executive Order”), and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56 (the “Patriot Act”). 

(b) No Company and to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, no Affiliate or broker or other agent of any Loan Party acting or benefiting in any
capacity in connection with the Credit Extensions currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and Borrower will not directly or indirectly
use the proceeds of the Loans or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC. 

(c) No Company and, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, no broker or other agent of any Company acting in any capacity in connection with the

the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, Borrower, and all other Secured Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any Loan Party in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such
obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if Borrower or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. 

Section 7.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 7.01 shall constitute a
guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security
for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and
unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above: 
 (i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors,
the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; 

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Notes, if any, or any other
agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted; 

  
 105 








 (iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; 
 (iv) any Lien
or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be valid, perfected or to have the priority required under the Loan Documents; or 

(v) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.09. 

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that
any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any
other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of
reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all
dealings between Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional
guarantee of payment and performance without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by the Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall
not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against Borrower or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the
Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no
Guaranteed Obligations outstanding. 
 Section 7.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this
Article VII shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Borrower or other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any
holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. 

  
 106 








 Section 7.04 Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that
until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or
remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 7.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security
for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party permitted pursuant to Section 6.04(f) shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Secured Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany Note
evidencing such Indebtedness. 
 Section 7.05 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the
Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and other Loan Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VIII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and
payable in the circumstances provided in Article VIII) for purposes of Section 7.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and
payable) as against Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrower) shall forthwith become due and
payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 7.01. 
 Section 7.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money.
Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article VII constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in
the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213. 

Section 7.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VII is a continuing guarantee of payment and
performance, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. 
 Section 7.08 General Limitation on Guarantee
Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Legal Requirement
affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 7.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other
creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 7.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any
other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the rights of subrogation and contribution established in Sections 7.04 and 7.10, respectively) that is valid and enforceable, not void or
voidable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding. 

  
 107 








 Section 7.09 Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and
provisions of the Loan Documents, (i) all of the Equity Interests or (ii) all or substantially all of the property of any Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a person or persons
(other than any Company or any Affiliate thereof), such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 10.03) and its
obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document and, in the case of the sale of all of the Equity Interests of the Transferred Guarantor, the pledge of such Equity Interests to the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the Security Documents shall be released, and, so long as Borrower shall have previously provided the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent such certifications or documents the Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agent as
shall reasonably request, the Collateral Agent shall take, and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent to take, such actions as are necessary to effect each release described in this Section 7.09 in accordance with
the relevant provisions of the Security Documents. 
 Section 7.10 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees
that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid
its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.04. The provisions of this Section 7.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations
and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

from such an insurance company, such amounts shall count against such basket if responsibility for such amounts has been denied by such insurance company or such insurance company has not been promptly notified of such amounts or such insurance

or on behalf of any Company not to be, a valid, enforceable, perfected, first priority (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or such Security Document) security interest in or Lien on the Collateral covered thereby;
provided that it shall not be an Event of Default under this paragraph (k) if the Collateral Agent shall not have, or shall cease to have, a valid, enforceable and perfected first priority security interest in or Lien on any Collateral

 110 








 (l) any Loan Document or any material provisions thereof shall at any time and for any reason be

 (m) there shall have occurred a Change in Control; 

(n) there shall have occurred the termination of, or the receipt by any Company of notice of the termination of, or the occurrence of any event

(o) any Company shall be prohibited or otherwise restrained from conducting the business theretofore conducted by it in any manner that has, or
could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect by virtue of any determination, ruling, decision or Order of any court or Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction; or

contrary notwithstanding. 

  
 111 








 In addition, without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a foreclosure (or other similar
exercise of remedies) by Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral
at any such sale or other disposition and, in addition, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of all of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities
unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or other disposition, to
use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Collateral Agent at such sale. 

Section 8.02 Rescission. If at any time after termination of the Commitments or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans,
the Loan Parties shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans owing by them that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on
overdue interest, at the rates specified herein) and all Defaults (other than non-payment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to
Section 10.02, then upon the written consent of the Required Lenders (which may be given or withheld in their sole discretion) and written notice to Borrower, the termination of the Commitments or the acceleration and their consequences
may be rescinded and annulled; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders and the other Secured Parties
to a decision that may be made at the election of the Required Lenders, and such provisions are not intended to benefit Borrower and the other Loan Parties and do not give Borrower and/or any of the Loan Parties the right to require the Lenders to
rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met. 
 Section 8.03 Application of
Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall be applied,

(a) First, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all costs and expenses, fees, commissions and taxes of such sale, collection
or other realization (including compensation to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent
in connection therewith and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of any Loan Document), together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then
in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full; 

  
 112 








 (b) Second, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all other reasonable
costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization (including compensation to the other Secured Parties and their agents and counsel and all costs, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the other Secured Parties in connection
therewith), together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full; 

(c) Third, without duplication of amounts applied pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above, to the indefeasible payment in
full in cash, pro rata, of interest and other amounts constituting Obligations in respect of the Credit Facility (other than principal) in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing (it
being agreed that, for purposes of applying this clause (c), all interest and all other amounts described herein will be deemed payable in accordance with this Agreement regardless of whether such claims are allowed in any proceeding described in
Section 8.01(g) or (h)); 
 (d) Fourth, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash, pro rata, of the
principal amount of the Obligations in respect of the Credit Facility; 
 (e) Fifth, to the indefeasible payment in full
in cash of Secured Obligations of the type specified in clause (b) of the definition of Secured Obligations then due and owing, pro rata; 

(f) Sixth, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the remaining Secured Obligations then due and owing, pro rata;
and 
 (g) Seventh, the balance, if any, to the person lawfully entitled thereto (including the applicable Loan Party or
its successors or assigns) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 
 In the event that any such proceeds are
insufficient to pay in full the items described in clauses (a) through (g) above, the Loan Parties shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency. 

ARTICLE IX 
 THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT 
 Section 9.01 Appointment. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as an agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, through its agents or
employees, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and 

  
 113 








 
perform such duties as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are
hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and any rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or
trust with or for Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to
connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties. 
 (b) Each Lender irrevocably appoints each other Lender as its agent and bailee for
the purpose of perfecting Liens (whether pursuant to Section 8-301(a)(2) of the UCC or otherwise), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in assets in which, in accordance with the UCC or any other applicable Legal Requirement a security
interest can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Collateral Agent) obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly following the
Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. 

Section 9.02 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and
powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise
requires, include the person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in
any kind of business with, any Company or Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the
Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to
take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be 

  
 114 








 
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel,
may expose such Agent to liability, if the Agent is not indemnified to its satisfactory, or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Legal Requirements including, for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the
automatic stay under any Insolvency Law or that may effect a foreclosure, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender under any Debtor Relief Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall
have any duty to disclose or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as any Agent shall believe in
good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and
nonappealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof describing such default is given to such Agent by Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty
to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection
herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness
or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees
that the Administrative Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or
recorded pursuant to the Loan Documents and the notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on
behalf of Borrower and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the
Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents. 
 Section 9.04
Reliance by Agent. Each 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 a proper person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally and
believed by it to be made by a proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender,
each Agent 

  
 115 








 
may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless each Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent
may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other advisors 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 advisors. 
 Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each 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 Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of each
Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply, without limiting the foregoing, to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. The Agents shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the
selection of such sub-agent. 
 Section 9.06 Successor Agent. Each Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 10
days’ prior notice to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders. If no successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 10 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which successor
shall be a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least
$500,000,000; provided that if such retiring Agent is unable to find a commercial banking institution that is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth above, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective and the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent under the Loan
Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent. 
 Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent
hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the
Loan Documents. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article IX, Section 10.03 and Sections 11.08 to 11.10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent. 

  
 116 








 Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, conducted its own independent investigation of the
financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has reviewed any confidential information
memorandum or similar document and each other document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof (including any such terms
and conditions set forth, or otherwise maintained, on the Platform with respect thereto). Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Section 9.08 Name Agents. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Lead
Arranger, the Book Manager, the Documentation Agent and the Syndication Agent hold such titles in name only, and that such titles confer no additional rights or obligations relative to those conferred on any Lender hereunder. 

Section 9.09 Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such and each of its
Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower or the Guarantors and without limiting the obligation of Borrower or the Guarantors to do so), ratably according to their respective outstanding Loans and Commitments in effect on the date on
which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.09 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which all Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such
outstanding Loans and Commitments as in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, fines, penalties, actions, claims, suits, judgments, litigations, investigations, inquiries or
proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or Related Person in any way relating to or
arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, the Transactions or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken
or omitted by such Agent or Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY AGENT OR RELATED
PERSON); provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, 

  
 117 








 
damages, penalties, actions, claims, suits, judgments, litigations, investigations, inquiries or proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction to have directly resulted solely and directly from such Agent’s or Related Party’s, as the case may be, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9.09 shall
survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 Section 9.10 Withholding Taxes. To the
extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim
that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative
Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this
Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any
penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. 

Section 9.11 Lender’s Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgements. (a) Each Lender represents and warrants
that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any
credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of
any information provided to the Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent or Related Person of any Agent has made any representation or warranty to it. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by an Agent
to the Lenders, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility (either express or implied) to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning any Loan Party, including the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, that may come in to the possession of an Agent or any of its Related Persons.  

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment Agreement and funding its Loan, shall be deemed to have
acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, on the Closing Date. 

  
 118 








 Section 9.12 Collateral Documents and Guaranty. 

(a) Agents under Collateral Documents and Guaranty. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Guaranty, the Collateral and the Loan Documents; provided that neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Obligations with respect to any Permitted Hedging Agreement. Subject to
Section 10.02, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) in connection with a
sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required
to give such consent under Section 10.02) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.09 or with respect to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to
give such consent under Section 10.02) have otherwise consented. 
 (b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty.
Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize
upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as
applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including, without
limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k),
Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code,) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured
Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any
portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition. 

(c) Release of Collateral and Guarantees, Termination of Loan Documents. 

  
 119 








 (1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the
Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Hedging Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in any Collateral
subject to any disposition permitted by the Loan Documents, and to release any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of any person subject to such disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such disposition in accordance
with the Loan Documents. 
 (2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations
(other than obligations in respect of any Hedging Agreement and contingent indemnification obligations and expense reimbursement claims to the extent no claim therefor has been made) have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated or
expired, upon request of Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Hedging Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its
security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Hedging Agreements or any such contingent
indemnification obligations or expense reimbursement claims. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in
respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 

(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the
existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent be
responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. 
 Section 9.13
Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of
any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor; 

  
 120 








 (b) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid
in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03 and 10.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding;
and 
 (c) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Agreement out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same
shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of
reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender
in any such proceeding.

 122 








 
Borrower by the Administrative Agent from time to time or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as the Administrative Agent shall require. In addition, each Loan Party agrees
to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as the Administrative Agent shall require.
Nothing in this Section 10.01 shall prejudice the right of the Agents, any Lender or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or as any such Agent shall require. 
 (c) To the extent consented to by the Administrative Agent in
writing from time to time, the Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address(es) set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent
for purposes of the Loan Documents. 
 (d) Each Loan Party further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available
to the other Agents or the Lenders by posting the Communications on a Platform. The Platform and any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agents do not warrant the accuracy or
completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Platform and the Approved Electronic 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 in connection with the Communications or the
Platform. In no event shall any Agent have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other person for damages of any kind, whether or not based on strict liability and including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential
damages, losses or expenses (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or related to any Loan Party’s or any Agent’s transmissions of Communications through Internet (including the Platform). 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. Each Loan Party understands that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and

competent jurisdiction. 
 (e) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its
e-mail address shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the
Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the 

  
 123 








 
Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of
such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document. 
 (f)
Each Loan Party, each Lender and each Agent agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, store any Approved Electronic Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary document
retention procedures and policies. 
 (g) Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to
at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s
compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to information that is not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may
contain Non-Public Information with respect to Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws. In the event that any Public Lender has determined for itself to not access any information
disclosed through the Platform or otherwise, such Public Lender acknowledges that (i) other Lenders may have availed themselves of such information and (ii) neither Borrower nor the Administrative Agent has any responsibility for such
Public Lender’s decision to limit the scope of the information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by any Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 10.02(b), and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent
or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle Borrower or any other Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances. 

  
 124

Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (in the case of any Security Document) and the Loan Party or Loan Parties
that are parties thereto, in each case with the written consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall: 

(i) increase or extend the expiry date of the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being
understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant or Default (or any definition used, respectively, therein) shall constitute an increase in or extension of the expiry date
of the Commitment of any Lender for purposes of this clause (i)); 
 (ii) reduce the principal amount or premium, if any, of
any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), or reduce any Fees payable hereunder, or change the form or currency of payment of any Obligation, without the written consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions (other than the term “Make-Whole Premium”) in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or
fees for purposes of this clause (ii)); 
 (iii) postpone or extend the maturity of any Loan, or any date for the payment of
any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment (other than a waiver of any increase in the interest rate pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), without the written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby; 
 (iv) change Section 2.14(b) or (c) or Section 9.02 in a manner that
would alter the order of or the pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender;

“Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document (including this Section 10.02) specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or
grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (vi) release all or substantially all of the
Guarantors from their respective Guarantees (except as expressly provided in Article VII), or limit their liability in respect of such Guarantees, without the written consent of each Lender; 

  
 125 








 (vii) except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or any Security Document,
release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents or alter the relative priorities of the Secured Obligations entitled to the Liens of the Security Documents (except in connection with securing additional
Secured Obligations equally and ratably with the other Secured Obligations), in each case without the written consent of each Lender; 

(viii) change Section 10.04(b) in a manner which further restricts assignments thereunder without the written
consent of each Lender; or 
 (ix) subordinate the Obligations under the Loan Documents to any other Indebtedness; 

provided, further, that (1) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be and (2) any waiver, amendment or modification prior to the achievement of a successful syndication of the credit facility
provided herein (as determined by the Arranger in its sole discretion) may not be effected without the written consent of the Arranger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered
into by Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent if (x) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such
amendment, (y) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or
accrued for its account under this Agreement, and (z) Section 2.16(b) is complied with. 
 (c) Without the consent of
any other person, the applicable Loan Party or Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment or
waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by applicable Legal Requirements to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or assets so that the security interests therein comply with
applicable Legal Requirements. 
 Section 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Loan Parties agree,
jointly and severally, to pay, promptly upon demand: 
 (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by the Arranger, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with the syndication of the Loans and Commitments, the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the administration of the

(iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Arranger, the Administrative Agent, the

(b) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Agents and each Lender and each of their respective Related Persons

(iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, (iv) any Environmental Liability or any non-compliance with, or violation of, Environmental Laws
or Environmental Permits applicable to any Company, or any Company’s business, or any property presently owned, leased, or operated by any Company, (v) the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby
(including the syndication of the Credit Facility) or (vi) any actual or prospective action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory,
whether brought by a third party or by any Loan Party or otherwise, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have directly resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This
Section 10.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 

(c) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, that, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and any affected Lender,
which consent(s) will not be unreasonably withheld, the Loan Parties will not enter into any settlement of a Claim in respect of the subject matter of clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 10.03(b) unless such settlement includes
an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such Claim of all Indemnitees. 
 (d) The provisions of this
Section 10.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans
and any other Secured Obligations, the release of any Guarantor or of all or any portion of the Collateral, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount
requested. 
 (e) To the extent that the Loan Parties fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Agents under
Sections 10.03(a) or (b) in accordance with Section 9.03(g), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agents such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the related losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted by any party hereto or any third party);
provided that the unreimbursed Claim was incurred by or asserted against any of the Agents in its capacity as such. For purposes of this Section 10.03(e), a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based
upon its share of the sum of the total outstanding Loans and unused Commitments at the time. 

  
 128 








 (f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, no Loan Party shall assert,
and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by
unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 (g) All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. 

Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Loan Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, which consent may be withheld in their respective sole discretion (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express 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 expressly provided in
Section 10.04(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

(b) Any Lender shall have the right at any time to assign to one or more assignees (other than any Company or any Affiliate thereof
except as provided in Section 10.04(j) below or a natural person) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:

 (i) except in the case of (A) an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund,
(B) any assignment made in connection with the primary syndication of the Commitments and Loans by the Arranger or (C) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the
Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption or an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000; 

  
 129 








 (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 
 (iii) the parties to each
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (it being understood that each such delivery shall be deemed a representation by the assignee that it is not a Disqualified Lender or an Affiliate of a
Disqualified Lender (so long as the list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that such fee shall not be payable in the case of an assignment by
any Lender to an Approved Fund of such Lender; 
 (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and 
 (v) the Administrative Agent must give its prior written consent
to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); 
 (vi) the Borrower must give
its prior written consent to any assignment to a Disqualified Lender so long as a list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders by the Borrower; and 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 10.04(d), from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement (provided that any
liability of Borrower to such assignee under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable thereunder by Borrower in the absence of such assignment, except to the extent any
such amounts are attributable to a Change in Law occurring after the date of such assignment), and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 10.03). 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose
as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the
Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower,
the Collateral Agent and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

  
 130 








 (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b) and any written consent to
such assignment required by Section 10.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this
Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 10.04(b). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with the requirements of this
Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.04(e). 

(e) Any Lender shall have the right at any time, without the consent of, or notice to Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other
person to sell participations to any person (other than to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee; provided that for the purposes of this provision, Disqualified Lenders shall be deemed to be Eligible Assignees unless a list
of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to all Lenders by the Borrower)) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance
of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral 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
Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) is described
in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the proviso to Section 10.02(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.04(f), each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.12, 2.13 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.04(b). To the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees in writing to be subject to Section 2.14(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender shall,
acting for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants, and the amount and terms of its participations (the “Participant
Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender (and Borrower, to the extent that the Participant requests payment from Borrower) shall treat 


  
 131 








 
each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its
other obligations under any Loan Document) 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. 
 (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15
than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the greater payment results from a Change in Law after the date the participation was sold to the Participant. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit
of Borrower, to comply with Sections 2.15(f) and (g) as though it were a Lender. 
 (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge
or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 10.04(g)
shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee
for such Lender as a party hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans or similar extensions of credit, such Lender may, without the consent of Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any
other person, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any
other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities. 

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special
purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and Borrower, the option to provide to Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting
Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to
exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof; provided further that nothing herein shall make the SPC a
“Lender” for the purposes of this Agreement, obligate Borrower or any other Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to deal with such SPC directly, obligate Borrower or any other Loan Party in any manner to any greater 


  
 132 








 
extent than they were obligated to the Granting Lender, or increase costs or expenses of Borrower. The Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deal solely with, and obtain
good discharge from, the Granting Lender and shall not be required to investigate or otherwise seek the consent or approval of any SPC, including for the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document.
The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or
similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this 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 of America or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04(h),
any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to
any financial institutions (consented to by Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential
basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 

(i) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall
be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system,
as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Legal Requirement, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other
similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 (j) Certain Permitted Loan Repurchases. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.04 or any other provision of this Agreement, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, Borrower may repurchase Loans on the
following basis: 
 (i) Borrower may repurchase all or any portion of the Loans of one or more Lenders pursuant to an
Assignment Agreement between Borrower and such Lender or Lenders; provided that, with respect to such repurchases, Borrower shall simultaneously provide a copy of such Assignment Agreement and any other agreements between Borrower and such Lender
with respect to such repurchase to Administrative Agent; 

  
 133 








 (iii) Borrower shall conduct one or more modified Dutch auctions
(each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Loans (such Loans, the “Offer Loans”) of Lenders, provided that, (A) Borrower delivers a notice of the Term Loans that will be subject to such
Auction to Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) no later than noon (New York City time) at least five Business Days in advance of a proposed consummation date of such Auction indicating (1) the date on which the Auction will
conclude, (2) the maximum principal amount of Loans Borrower is willing to purchase in the Auction and (3) the range of discounts to par at which Borrower would be willing to repurchase the Offer Loans; (B) the maximum dollar amount
of the Auction shall be no less than an aggregate $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof; (C) Borrower shall hold the Auction open for a minimum period of two Business Days; (D) a Lender who elects to participate
in the Auction may choose to tender all or part of such Lender’s Offer Loans; (E) the Auction shall be made to Lenders holding the Offer Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; and (F) the Auction shall be
conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Administrative Agent may establish which are consistent with this Section 10.04(j) and are reasonably acceptable to Borrower and any applicable auction manager, that a Lender must follow in order to
have its Offer Loans repurchased;  
 (iv) With respect to all repurchases made by Borrower pursuant to this
Section 10.04(j), (A) Borrower shall pay to the applicable assigning Lender all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the repurchased Loans to the date of repurchase of such Loans, (B) Borrower shall represent that, as of the launch
date of the related Auction and the effective date of any Assignment Agreement, it is not in possession of any material non-public information regarding Borrower, its Subsidiaries, or their assets or securities, that (x) has not been disclosed
generally to the Lenders which are not “public side” Lenders prior to such date and (y) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to assign Loans to such Person,
and (C) such repurchases shall not be deemed to be voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(a); and 
 (v)
Following repurchase by Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.04(j), the Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by Borrower), for
all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents, including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or (C) the determination of Requisite Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other
Credit Document. In connection with any Loans repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 10.04(j), Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation. Any payment made by
Borrower in connection with a repurchase permitted 

  
 134 








 
by this Section 10.04(j) shall not be subject to the provisions of either Section 2.13 or Section 2.14(c). Failure by Borrower to make any payment to a Lender required by an
agreement permitted by this Section 10.04(j) shall not constitute an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a). 
 Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 10.04 or any other provision of this Agreement, Affiliated Lenders, may repurchase outstanding Loans on the following basis: 

(i) No Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Debt Fund) shall have the right to purchase any Loan if, after giving effect to such
purchase, Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Debt Funds) in the aggregate would own Loans with an aggregate principal amount in excess of 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding; 

(ii) No Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Debt Fund) shall have any right, (A) to consent to any amendment, modification,
waiver, consent or other such action with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) to require any Agent or other Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, (C) to otherwise vote on any matter related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (D) to attend any meeting with any Agent or Lender or receive any information from any Agent or Lender or
(E) to make or bring any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Persons under the Loan Documents, provided, that (x) no amendment, modification or
waiver shall deprive such Affiliated Lender, in its capacity as Lender, of its share of any payments which the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder and (y) with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or
other action described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the first proviso of Section 10.02(b) that adversely affects such Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) in a disproportionally adverse manner as compared to other
Lenders, such Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a lender without discretion in such proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders; and 

(iii) each applicable assignee (other than an Affiliated Debt Fund) shall represent to the Lender assigning such Loans, as of the effective
date of any assignment that it is not in possession of any material non-public information regarding Borrower, its Subsidiaries, or their assets or securities, that (x) has not been disclosed generally to the Lenders which are not “public
side” Lenders prior to such date and (y) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to assign Loans to such Person. 

Section 10.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in
the Loan Documents and in the reports, certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive
the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding 

  
 135 








 
that the Agents or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as any Obligation is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Article IX and Sections 2.12 to 2.15, 9.06, 10.03 and 10.08 to
10.10 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the
termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and/or the Arranger, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all
previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and
when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

Section 10.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 10.08
Right of Setoff; Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time
owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents held by such Lender,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the
branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which


  
 136 








 
such Lender may have. None of any Agent or any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of
the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any Agent or Lender enforces any security interests or exercises any right of
setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party under any Debtor Relief Law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 

Section 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as
expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would apply the
laws of another jurisdiction. 
 (b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court 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, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be
heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, in such federal court. 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 applicable Legal Requirements. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent,
any other Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 10.09(b). Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

  
 137 








 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, in the manner provided for notices (other than facsimile or email) in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to
this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. 
 Section 10.10 Waiver of Jury
Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.10. 
 Section 10.11
Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting,
this Agreement. 
 Section 10.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ and Approved Funds’ directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives, including
accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential pursuant to the
terms hereof), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or any quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements or by any
