The Borrower has requested (a) the Lenders to extend credit in the form of Revolving Loans at any time and from time to time during the
Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $300,000,000 and (b) the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit, in an aggregate face amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $150,000,000,
to support payment obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business by the Borrower and its subsidiaries. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans are to be used solely for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries. On the
Closing Date, the Existing Debt Refinancing will be consummated and the Transaction Costs will be paid. 
 The Lenders are willing to extend
such credit to the Borrower, and the Issuing Banks are willing to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

11:00 a.m. (London time) by reference to the British Bankers’ Association as an authorized vendor for the purpose of displaying such rates on such day. If the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms of the definition
thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (b) of the preceding sentence until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the

ARTICLE II 
 The Credits

 SECTION 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to
make Revolving Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment or the
total Revolving Exposures exceeding the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Commitments and (y) the Borrowing Base at such time. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including the Administrative
Agent’s authority, in its sole discretion, to make Protective Advances pursuant to the terms of Section 2.04), the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans. 

  
 -39- 








 SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan (other than a Protective Advance)
shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. Any Protective Advance shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 2.04. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or LIBO Rate
Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Protective Advance shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any LIBO Rate Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan;
provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use reasonable
efforts to minimize any increase in the Adjusted LIBO Rate or increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of such Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in
increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it otherwise determines would be disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of
Section 2.15 shall apply). 
 (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any LIBO Rate Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall comprise an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $2,000,000. Each ABR Borrowing when made shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing
may be made in a lesser aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Aggregate Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.06(e). Borrowings of more than
one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten (10) different Interest Periods in effect for LIBO Rate Borrowings at any time outstanding. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to
convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date. 
 SECTION 2.03.
Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request either in writing by delivery of a Borrowing Request (by hand or facsimile) signed by the Borrower or by telephone (a) in
the case of a LIBO Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:30 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days (or, in the case of a LIBO Rate Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, two (2) Business Days) before the date of the proposed
Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing (including any such notice of an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.06(e)), not later than 2:30 p.m., New York City time, on the
date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be 

  
 -40- 








 
irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written
Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01: 
 (i) the aggregate amount
of the requested Borrowing; 
 (ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a LIBO Rate Borrowing; 

(iv) in the case of a LIBO Rate Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and 
 (v) the location and number of the
Borrower’s account or any other designated account(s) to which funds are to be disbursed. 
 If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified,
then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested LIBO Rate Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

 SECTION 2.04. Protective Advances. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth below (and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in Section 4.02), the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation), to make Loans to the Borrower, on
behalf of all Lenders at any time that any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 has not been satisfied or waived, which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect
the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrower
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (each such Loan, a “Protective
Advance”). Any Protective Advance may be made in a principal amount that would cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure to exceed the Borrowing Base; provided that no Protective Advance may be made to the extent that, after giving
effect to such Protective Advance (together with the outstanding principal amount of any outstanding Protective Advances), the aggregate principal amount of Protective Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed five percent (5%) of the
Borrowing Base as determined on the date of such proposed Protective Advance; and provided further that the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances plus the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the Aggregate
Commitments. No Protective Advance may remain outstanding for more than forty- five (45) days without the consent of the Required Lenders. Protective Advances may be made 

  
 -41- 








 
even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied or waived. Each Protective Advance shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent in and to
the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become
effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. The making of a Protective Advance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Administrative Agent to make any Protective Advance on any other occasion. At any time that
the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied or waived, the Administrative Agent may request the Revolving Lenders to make a Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time, the Administrative Agent may
require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.04(b). 
 (b) Upon the making of a
Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from the Administrative
Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any
Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral (if any) received by the
Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance. 
 SECTION 2.05. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit. (a) General. On and after the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed
to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and for purposes hereof will be deemed to have been issued on the Closing Date (and the application for each such letter of credit shall be
deemed amended to add the Borrower as a co-applicant thereon to the extent not already so included (and the Borrower shall execute such documentation as is reasonably requested by the applicable Issuing Bank in order to effect the foregoing)).
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.06, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the
period from the Closing Date to but not including the 30th day prior to the Maturity Date, upon the request of the Borrower, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars only and issued on sight basis only for the account of the Borrower (or
any Subsidiary of the Borrower so long as the Borrower is a joint and several co-applicant, and references to “the Borrower” in this Section 2.06 shall be deemed to include reference to such Subsidiary) and to amend or renew Letters
of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.06(b), and (B) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit, and (ii) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in the Letters of Credit issued pursuant to
Section 2.06(d); provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate face amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by (x) Credit Suisse AG and its Affiliates exceed, at any time, $35,000,000, (y) Bank of America,
N.A. and its Affiliates exceed, at any time, $60,000,000 and (z) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and its Affiliates exceed, at any time, $55,000,000 at such time. Subject to the terms and conditions


  
 -42- 








 
hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace
Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment,
Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic
communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance (or such
shorter period as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank), a request to issue in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”). To request an amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of
Credit, the Borrower shall submit such a request on its letterhead, addressed to the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the requested date of amendment, extension or
renewal, identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the proposed date (which shall be a Business Day) and other details of the amendment, extension or renewal. Requests for issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension must be accompanied by such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such
Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or
other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended,
renewed or extended only with the approval of the Administrative Agent and if (and on issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit Cap and (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Commitments and the Borrowing Base. Promptly after the
delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and
complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. Upon receipt of such Letter of Credit or amendment, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders, in writing, of such Letter of Credit or amendment, and if so requested by a Lender, the
Administrative Agent will provide such Lender with copies of such Letter of Credit or amendment. With respect to commercial Letters of Credit, each Issuing Bank shall on the first Business Day of each week submit to the Administrative Agent, by
facsimile, a report detailing the daily aggregate total of commercial Letters of Credit for the previous calendar week. 

  
 -43- 








 (c) Expiration Date. Each standby Letter of Credit shall expire not later
than the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. Each commercial Letter of Credit shall expire on the earlier of (i) 180 days after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (ii) the date that is
thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date. 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from
such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by
the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations
pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(e) Reimbursement. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the
Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of documentary Letters of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank) an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City
time, on the Business Day immediately following the date the Borrower receives notice under paragraph (g) of this Section of such LC Disbursement; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein,
request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by
the resulting ABR Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with
respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so
received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by 

  
 -44- 








 
the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that
Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. 

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph
(e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein
being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any
other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s
obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any
Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft,
notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such
Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived
by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply
with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be
deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial
compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to
the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 

  
 -45- 








 (g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly
following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of
such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such
Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If an
Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date
such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due
pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment
by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such
replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date
of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the
term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the
replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required
to issue additional Letters of Credit. 
 (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the
total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral 

  
 -46- 








 
pursuant to this paragraph, upon such demand, the Borrower shall deposit, in an account with the Collateral Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders
(the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 101.5% of the LC Exposure as of such date; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit
shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 7.01. Such deposit shall be held
by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (j). The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right
of withdrawal, over such account and the Borrower hereby grants the Collateral Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option
and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the
Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other
Secured Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (together with all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, to the extent
not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned promptly to the Borrower but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after such Event of Default has been cured or waived. 

SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof
by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account or as otherwise directed by the Borrower; provided that ABR Revolving
Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance shall be retained by the
Administrative Agent to be applied as contemplated by Section 2.04 (and the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a reasonably detailed accounting of such application). 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that
such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made 

  
 -47- 








 
such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without
duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such
Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to
ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its
Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower or any other Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 

SECTION 2.08. Type; Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing
Request and, in the case of a LIBO Rate Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in
the case of a LIBO Rate Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be
allocated ratably among the Lenders, based upon their Applicable Percentages, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Protective Advances, which may not be converted or
continued. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such
telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by
the Borrower. 
 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in
compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be
specified for each resulting Borrowing); 

  
 -48- 








 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a LIBO Rate
Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBO Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto
after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If
any such Interest Election Request requests a LIBO Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. 

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the
details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a
timely Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBO Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an
Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a LIBO Rate Borrowing and unless repaid, each LIBO Rate Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the then-current Interest
Period applicable thereto. 
 SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, all
Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) Upon delivering the notice required by Section 2.09(e), the
Borrower may at any time terminate the Commitments upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or
alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the Administrative Agent of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of the Administrative Agent a backup standby letter of credit satisfactory to the Administrative Agent)
equal to 101.5% of the LC Exposure as of such date) and (iii) the payment in full of all accrued and unpaid fees and all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 

(c) Upon delivering the notice required by Section 2.09(e), the Borrower may from time to time reduce the Commitments;
provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not reduce the

Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the Aggregate
Commitments. 
 (d) [Reserved]. 

(e) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph
(b) or (c) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may
state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition
is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be permanent. Upon any reduction of the Commitments, the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such reduction amount. 
 SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each
Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is made while any Protective Advance is outstanding, the Borrower shall repay all such Protective
Advances with the proceeds of such Revolving Loan then outstanding. 
 (b) At all times after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Liquidity Event and notification thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(b) and to the terms of the Security Agreement), on each Business Day, at or before 1:00 p.m., New
York City time, the Administrative Agent shall apply all immediately available funds credited to the Collateral Agent Account, first to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders (other
than in connection with Banking Services or Secured Swap Obligations), pro rata, second to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Revolving Loans and any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, pro rata, third to prepay
the principal of any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and fourth to prepay the principal of the Loans and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure, pro rata. 

(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the
Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

  
 -50- 








 (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each
Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be
prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein (absent manifest error); provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein
shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare,
execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in substantially the form of Exhibit H hereto. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at
all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns. 

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Upon prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower shall
have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16). Prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.11(a), first, shall be applied
ratably to outstanding LC Disbursements, and second, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Revolving Loans. 

(b) Except for Protective Advances permitted under Section 2.04, in the event and on each Business Day on which the total
Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (i) the Aggregate Commitments and (ii) the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans and/or reduce LC Exposure, in an aggregate amount equal to such excess by taking any of the
following actions as it shall determine at its sole discretion: (1) prepayment of Revolving Loans or (2) deposit of cash in the LC Collateral Account. 

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder
(i) in the case of prepayment of a LIBO Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:30 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:30
p.m., New York City time, 

  
 -51- 








 
on the day of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided
that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in
accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that
would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing.
Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. 
 SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and
including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the Lenders’ Commitments terminate; provided that any commitment fee accrued with respect to the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such
Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the
Borrower prior to such time; and provided further, that no commitment fee shall accrue on the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the
last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360
days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (b)
The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue (A) with respect to standby Letters of
Credit, at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to LIBO Rate Revolving Loans or (B) with respect to documentary Letters of Credit, at a rate equal to 50% of the rate referred to in clause (A) above, on
the daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such
Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee, in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank
for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit through the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (or if terminated on an earlier date, to the termination date of such Letter of Credit), computed at a rate equal to
0.125% per annum of the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or 

  
 -52- 








 
extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued to but excluding the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December shall be payable on the first Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and
any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand (accompanied by
reasonable back-up documentation therefor). All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. 

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to (i) the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the agency fees set forth in the
Administrative Agent Fee Letter, payable in the amounts and at the times specified therein or as so otherwise agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or such agency fees as may otherwise be separately agreed upon by the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Collateral Agent, for its own account, the agency fees set forth in the Collateral Agent Fee Letter, payable in the amounts and at the times specified therein or as so otherwise agreed upon by the
Borrower and the Collateral Agent, or such agency fees as may otherwise be separately agreed upon by the Borrower and the Collateral Agent. 

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or
to the Collateral Agent or applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 

SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Protective Advance) shall bear interest at the
Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each LIBO Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as
well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, or (ii) in the case of any
other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. 

  
 -53- 








 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of
any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any
conversion of any LIBO Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to
the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBO Rate Borrowing: 

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable,
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 promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the 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 LIBO Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereof, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBO
Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law
shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank; or 

  
 -54- 








 (ii) subject any Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent to any Taxes (other than
(A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or 

(iii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this
Agreement or LIBO Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to
increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBO Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of
Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, following delivery of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section,
the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in
Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for
such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time
following delivery of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank
or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a
Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and setting forth in reasonable
detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing
Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a
Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’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 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

  
 -55- 








 SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBO Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(e) and is
revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any LIBO Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event,
the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a LIBO Rate Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender to be the
excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of
such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which
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 any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and the basis therefor and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was
determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if a Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased
as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or any Issuing Bank (as applicable) receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
law. If at any time a Loan Party is required by applicable law to 

  
 -56- 








 
make any deduction or withholding from any sum payable hereunder, such Loan Party shall promptly notify the relevant Lender, Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank upon becoming aware of the same.
In addition, each Lender, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify a Loan Party upon becoming aware of any circumstances as a result of which a Loan Party is or would be required to make any deduction or withholding from any
sum payable hereunder. 
 (b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank,
within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any
obligation of such Loan Party hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable 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 the Borrower by a Lender or
an Issuing Bank, or by an Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a 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 return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall severally indemnify each Agent
within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank that are paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any penalties, interest and 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 the Lender or Issuing
Bank by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (f) (i) Any Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent that is entitled
to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a 

  
 -57- 








 
party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. In particular, on or prior to the date which is ten
(10) Business Days after the Closing Date, each Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) two duly signed, properly completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor
thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8IMY or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent by the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document) or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax, including
any exemption pursuant to Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, and in the case of a Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent claiming such an exemption under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate that establishes in writing to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is not (i) a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a 10-percent stockholder within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (iii) a
controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower with the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent shall (A) promptly submit to the Borrower (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent) such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms or certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing
authorities) as may then be available under then current United States Laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, or reduction of,
United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender or Foreign Agent by the Borrower or other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, in each case, (1) on or before the date
that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (2) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrower and
(3) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (B) promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any
claimed exemption or reduction. 
 (ii) If a payment made to a Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement would be subject
to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Issuing Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable 

  
 -58- 








 
reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under
FATCA, to determine that such Lender or Issuing Bank has or has not complied with such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. 

(g) Each Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank that is a United States person, agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrower a
statement signed by an authorized signatory of the Lender to the effect that it is a United States person together with a duly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-9 or successor form. 

(h) If an Agent, Issuing Bank, or a Lender determines, in good faith in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the party who made the indemnity payment or paid the
additional amounts (“Indemnifying Party”) (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Indemnifying Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund),
net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender in good faith in its reasonable discretion, and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such Indemnifying Party, upon the request of the Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably
practicable the amount paid over to such Indemnifying Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender in the event the Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require any Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems
confidential) to such Indemnifying Party or any other Person. 
 (i) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a
reasonable basis exists for contesting any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which additional amounts have been paid under this Section 2.17, the relevant Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank shall cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, at the Borrower’s expense, if so requested by the Borrower in writing.

 SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or
otherwise) prior to 1:30 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off 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 to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent,
except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. 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 hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, 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 hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be
made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or
operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment. At all times that full cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 2.21(d), solely for purposes of determining the amount of
Loans available for borrowing purposes, checks and cash or other immediately available funds from collections of items of payment and proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part against the Obligations, on the day of receipt,
subject to actual collection. 
 (b) Subject in all respects to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds
of Collateral received by the Agents after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and all or any portion of the Loans shall have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 7.01, shall upon election by the Agents or at the
direction of the Required Lenders be applied, (i) first, to, ratably, pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Agents or any Issuing Bank from the Borrower (other than in connection with Banking Services or
Secured Swap Obligations), (ii) second, ratably, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower (other than in connection with Banking Services or Secured Swap Obligations), (iii) third,
to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Revolving Loans and any Protective Advances, ratably, (iv) fourth, to pay the principal of the Protective Advances, (v) fifth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the
Protective Advances), unreimbursed LC Disbursements, and amounts owing with respect to Secured Swap Obligations to the extent of the Secured Swap Amounts in respect thereof notified to the Administrative Agent as provided for in the definition of
“Secured Swap Obligations”, ratably, (vi) sixth, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to 101.5% of the LC Exposure on such date, to be held in the LC Collateral Account as cash collateral for such Obligations,
(vii) seventh, to pay any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services to the extent 

  
 -60- 








 
they constitute Secured Obligations and Secured Swap Obligations in excess of the Secured Swap Amounts in respect thereof, ratably, (viii) eighth, to the payment of any other Secured
Obligation due to the Agents or any Lender by the Borrower, (ix) ninth, as provided for under the Intercreditor Agreement, and (x) tenth, to the Borrower or as the Borrower shall direct. 

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any
principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Protective Advances resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements
or Protective Advances 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 and participations in LC
Disbursements and Protective Advances of other Lenders at such time outstanding 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 and participations in LC Disbursements and Protective Advances; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,
such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the 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 a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Protective Advances to any
assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor
of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the
Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact
made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank 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 

  
 -61- 








 
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 on interbank compensation.

 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.04(b), 2.05(b), 2.06(d)
or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(c) or 9.03(c), 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 2.19. Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.17, 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 assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such
Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such
Lender and the Administrative Agent, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the
Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, which consent in each case shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Protective Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by
such Lender or otherwise, 

  
 -62- 








 
the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may
have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. 
 SECTION 2.20. Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change
in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any LIBO Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender
to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue LIBO Rate Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to LIBO Rate Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert all LIBO Rate Borrowings of
such Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and
will not, in the determination of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to it. 
 SECTION 2.21. Cash Receipts. (a) Annexed
hereto as Schedule 2.21(a) is a schedule of all DDAs (including any payroll, trust, VEBA and tax withholding accounts), that, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers of the Loan Parties, are maintained by the Loan Parties as of the date
hereof, which Schedule includes, with respect to each depository, in each case as of the date hereof, (i) the name and address of such depository; (ii) the account number(s) maintained with such depository; and (iii) a contact person
at such depository. 
 (b) Annexed hereto as Schedule 2.21(b) is a list describing all arrangements to which any Loan
Party is a party as of the date hereof with respect to the payment to such Loan Party of the proceeds of all credit card charges for sales by such Loan Party. 

(c) Each Loan Party shall (i) deliver to the Agents notifications in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agents which have
been executed on behalf of such Loan Party and addressed to such Loan Party’s credit card clearinghouses and processors (each, a “Credit Card Notification”); (ii) deliver to the Agents notifications, in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Agents, executed on behalf of such Loan Party to each depository institution with which any DDA is maintained of the Collateral Agent’s interest in such DDA (each, a “DDA Notification”); (iii) instruct
each depository institution for a DDA to cause all amounts on deposit and available at the close of each Business Day in such DDA (net of such minimum balance, not to exceed $15,000, as may be required to be maintained in the subject DDA by the
depository institution at which such DDA is maintained), to be swept to one of the Loan Parties’ concentration accounts no less frequently than on a daily basis, such instructions to be irrevocable unless otherwise agreed to by the


  
 -63- 








 
Agents; and (iv) within five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date (or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may permit in its sole discretion) enter into a blocked account
agreement (each, a “Blocked Account Agreement”), in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agents, with the Collateral Agent and any bank with which such Loan Party maintains a concentration account into which the DDAs are swept
(collectively, the “Blocked Accounts”), which concentration accounts as of the Closing Date are listed on Schedule 2.21(c) annexed hereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not cause proceeds of such DDAs to be otherwise
redirected. 
 (d) Each Credit Card Notification and Blocked Account Agreement shall require, after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default or a Liquidity Event (and delivery of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the other parties to such instrument or agreement), the ACH or wire transfer no less frequently than once
per Business Day (unless the Commitments have been terminated and the Obligations have been paid in full), of all available cash balances and cash receipts, including the then contents or then entire available balance of each Blocked Account (net of
such minimum balance, not to exceed $15,000 (or, in the case of the Loan Parties’ primary concentration account, $50,000), as may be required to be maintained in the subject Blocked Account by the bank at which such Blocked Account is
maintained), to an account maintained by the Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Agent Account”). Subject to the terms of the Security Agreement, all amounts received in the Collateral Agent Account shall be applied (and allocated) by
the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.10(b); provided, that if the circumstances described in Section 2.18(b) are applicable, all such amounts shall be applied in accordance with such Section 2.18(b). Each Loan
Party agrees that it will not cause any credit card proceeds or proceeds of any Blocked Account to be otherwise redirected. 

(e) If, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Liquidity Event as to which the
Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower, any cash or cash equivalents owned by any Loan Party (other than (i) an amount not to exceed $15,000,000 in the aggregate that is on deposit in a segregated DDA which the Borrower designates in
writing to the Agents as being the “uncontrolled cash account” (the “Designated Disbursement Account”), which funds shall not be funded from, or when withdrawn from the Designated Disbursement Account, shall not be
replenished by, funds constituting proceeds of Collateral so long as such Event of Default or Liquidity Event continues, (ii) de minimis cash or cash equivalents from time to time inadvertently misapplied by any Loan Party and
(iii) payroll, trust, VEBA and tax withholding accounts funded in the ordinary course of business and required by applicable law) are deposited to any account, or held or invested in any manner, otherwise than in a Blocked Account subject to a
Blocked Account Agreement (or a DDA which is swept daily to such Blocked Account), the Agents shall be entitled to require the applicable Loan Party to close such account and have all funds therein transferred to a Blocked Account, and to cause all
future deposits to 

  
 -64- 








 
be made to a Blocked Account; provided, however, that if such notice is given in respect of a Liquidity Event and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the
applicable Loan Party shall not be required to close such account until two Business Days following the day on which such notice was given. 

(f) The Loan Parties may close DDAs or Blocked Accounts and/or open new DDAs or Blocked Accounts, subject (in the case of
opening any new DDAs or Blocked Accounts) to the contemporaneous (or such longer period as the Agents may agree) execution and delivery to the Agents of a DDA Notification or Blocked Account Agreement, as applicable, consistent with the provisions
of this Section 2.21 and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Agents (it being understood and agreed that the Loan Parties will furnish to the Agents written notice of the opening of any new payroll, trust, VEBA and tax withholding accounts
in a timely manner). Unless consented to in writing by the Agents, the Loan Parties shall not enter into any agreements with credit card processors other than the ones listed on Schedule 2.21(b) unless contemporaneously therewith (or such
longer period as the Agents may agree), a Credit Card Notification is executed and a copy thereof is delivered to the Agents. 

(g) The Collateral Agent Account shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent. Each Loan
Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Loan Party has no right of withdrawal from the Collateral Agent Account, (ii) the funds on deposit in the Collateral Agent Account shall at all times continue to be collateral security for
all of the Secured Obligations, and (iii) the funds on deposit in the Collateral Agent Account shall be applied as provided in this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 2.21, any Loan Party receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any proceeds or collections required to be transferred to the Collateral Agent Account pursuant to Section 2.21(d), such proceeds and collections shall be held
in trust by such Loan Party for the Collateral Agent, shall not be commingled with any of such Loan Party’s other funds or deposited in any account of such Loan Party and shall promptly be deposited into the Collateral Agent Account or dealt
with in such other fashion as such Loan Party may be instructed by the Agents. 
 (h) So long as (i) no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) no Liquidity Event as to which the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Parties may direct, and shall have sole control over, the manner of disposition
of funds in the Blocked Accounts. 
 (i) Any amounts held or received in the Collateral Agent Account (including all interest
and other earnings with respect thereto, if any) at any time (x) when all of the Secured Obligations have been satisfied or (y) all Events of Default and Liquidity Events have been cured, shall (subject in the case of clause (x) to
the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement) be remitted to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower. 

  
 -65- 








 SECTION 2.22. Reserves; Change in Reserves. The Agents may at any time and from time to
time in the exercise of their Permitted Discretion establish and increase or decrease Reserves; provided that the Agents shall have provided the Borrower at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of any such
establishment or increase; and provided further, that the Agents may only establish or increase a Reserve after the date hereof based on an event, condition or other circumstance arising after the Closing Date or based on facts not
known to the Agents as of the Closing Date. The amount of any Reserve established by the Agents shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for the Reserve. Upon delivery of such notice, the Agents
shall be available to discuss the proposed Reserve or increase, and the Borrower may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matter that is the basis for such Reserve or increase no longer exists, in a manner and to the
extent reasonably satisfactory to the Agents in the exercise of their Permitted Discretion. In no event shall such notice and opportunity limit the right of the Agents to establish or change such Reserve, unless the Agents shall have determined in
their Permitted Discretion that the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for such new Reserve or such change no longer exists or has otherwise been adequately addressed by the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Reserves shall not duplicate eligibility criteria contained in the definition of “Eligible Inventory” and vice versa, or reserves or criteria deducted in computing the cost or market value of Eligible Inventory or the Net Orderly
Liquidation Value of Eligible Inventory and vice versa. 
 SECTION 2.23. Incremental Commitments. The Borrower may at any time or
from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit
Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”); provided that both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default
shall exist. Each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $25,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the
limit set forth in the next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed $150,000,000. Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth
the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Revolving Commitment Increases. Revolving Commitment Increases may be provided by any existing Lender or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial
institution being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that each of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional
Lender’s providing such Revolving Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Commitments to such Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Revolving Commitment Increases
shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Credit Lender, an increase in such Lender’s Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental
Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by, 

  
 -66- 








 
and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The
Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, to effect the
provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to “the date
of such Credit Extension” or similar language in such Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment), the receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions and other
closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower will use the proceeds of
the Loans made pursuant to the Revolving Commitment Increases for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Revolving Commitment Increases unless it so agrees. Upon each increase in the Commitments
pursuant to this Section, each Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Commitment Increase (each a “Revolving
Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in
outstanding Letters of Credit and Protective Advances such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit
and (ii) participations in Protective Advances held by each Lender (including each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal such Lender’s Applicable Percentage and (b) if, on the date of such increase, there are any
Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Commitments), which prepayment shall be
accompanied by accrued interest on the Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata
payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. 

SECTION 2.24. Loan Modification Offers. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time,
make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders to make one or more Permitted Amendments (as defined in paragraph (c) below) pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent
and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not
be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 30 Business Days after the date of such notice). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Commitments and Revolving Exposure of the Lenders that accept the applicable Loan
Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) without the consent of any Lender that is not an Accepting Lender. 

  
 -67- 








 (b) The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to
the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans of the Accepting Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall
become effective under this Section unless the Administrative Agent shall have received all legal opinions, board resolutions officer’s certificates and other documentation requested by it consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date
under Section 4.01. 
 (c) “Permitted Amendments” means any or all of the following: (i) an
extension of the final maturity date of the Commitments and Revolving Exposure and/or of the Accepting Lenders, (ii) a change to the Applicable Rate and/or Commitment Fee Rate with respect to the Commitments and Revolving Exposure of the
Accepting Lenders, (iii) the payment of additional fees to the Accepting Lenders, and (iv) such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, to give effect
to the foregoing Permitted Amendments; provided that (A) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit shall be made ratably as between the commitments of
the Accepting Lenders and the Lenders that are not Accepting Lenders and (B) the Commitment of any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit may not be extended without the prior written consent of such Issuing Bank. 

SECTION 2.25. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.25 or elsewhere in this
Agreement, (i) if any L/C Exposure exists at any time at which a Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then (A) all or any part of the L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders who are
Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages but only (x) to the extent that the sum of the Revolving Exposures of all Non-Defaulting Lenders and of such Defaulting Lender does not exceed the total available
Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and (y) if the conditions to each Credit Extension set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time; provided that the fees payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to
Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ respective Applicable Percentages and (B) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the
Borrower shall, within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, to the extent such reallocation could not be effected, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial
reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding (or until such Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender) (and if the Borrower cash
collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting 

  
 -68- 








 
Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.25, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure for so long as such LC Exposure is so cash collateralized) and (ii) in the event that and for so long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or
increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be fully allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j), and
participations in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause (i) above (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein). In the event that the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Issuing Bank each agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposures of the Lenders shall be readjusted (in a manner
determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or appropriate) to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in the determination of such LC Exposures. 

ARTICLE III 
 Representations
and Warranties 
 Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Lenders that: 

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each of the Loan Parties and each of its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required. 

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each applicable Loan Party’s corporate or other
organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action of such Loan Party. Each Loan Document to which each Loan Party is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and is a
legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity. 

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing
with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, except for filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Term Loan Security
Documents, (b) will not violate (i) any Requirement of Law applicable to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation or other constitutive documents or by-laws of any
Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to
require any payment to be made by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries 

  
 -69- 








 
(other than pursuant to the Existing Debt Refinancing), and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except
Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Term Loan Security Documents, except, in each case other than with respect to any violation under clause (b)(ii) above and the creation of Liens, to the extent that any such violation, default or
right, or any failure to obtain such consent or approval or to take any such action, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its
consolidated balance sheet and related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows (i) as of and for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2013, reported on by KPMG LLP, independent public accountants, (ii) as of and for each
fiscal quarter subsequent to February 2, 2013, ended at least forty five (45) days before the Closing Date, certified by its chief financial officer or vice president of finance and (iii) as of and for each fiscal month subsequent to
the date of the most recent quarterly financial statements furnished pursuant to clause (ii) above and ended at least thirty (30) days before the Closing Date, certified by its chief financial officer or vice president of finance. Such
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject
to the absence of footnotes and normal year-end adjustments in the case of the statements referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above.

Effect, since February 2, 2013. 
 SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) Each of the Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries has good and
insurable fee simple title to, or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in, all its real properties (including any Mortgaged Properties) and has good and marketable title to its personal property and assets,
in each case, except for defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes and except where the failure to have such
title would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens permitted by Section 6.02. 

(b) Each of the Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries has complied with all obligations under all leases to which it is a
party, except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and all such leases are in full force and effect, except leases in respect of which the failure to be in
full force and effect would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such leases, other
than leases in respect of which the failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries owns or possesses, or is licensed to use, all patents, trademarks, service marks,
trade names and copyrights and all licenses and rights with respect to the foregoing, necessary for the present conduct of its business, without any conflict with the rights of others, and free from any burdensome restrictions on the present conduct
of its business, except where such failure to own, possess or hold pursuant to a license or such conflicts and restrictions would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 -70- 








 SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) Other than the Disclosed Matters,
there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries (i) which
would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any Loan Documents or the Transactions. 

(b) Except for the Disclosed Matters or any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (i) neither any Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability and
(ii) neither any Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (A) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law or (B) has
become subject to any Environmental Liability.

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair value of the assets of such Plans, in the aggregate, and the present value of all accumulated

Parties on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis will
not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date. 

(b) The Loan Parties do not intend to incur debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account
the timing and amounts of cash to be received by the Loan Parties and the timing and amounts of cash to be payable by the Loan Parties on or in respect of their Indebtedness. 

SECTION 3.14. Insurance. Schedule 3.14 sets forth a true, complete and correct description of all insurance maintained by or on
behalf of the Loan Parties and the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, all such insurance is in full force and effect and all premiums in respect of such insurance have been duly paid. The Borrower believes that the

other Loan Documents create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral of the type in which a security interest can be created under Article 9 of the UCC in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders; and
upon the proper filing of UCC financing statements required pursuant to Section 4.01(p) and any Mortgages with respect to any Mortgaged Properties, such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral (to the extent a security
interest in such Collateral and any proceeds of any item of Collateral can be perfected through the filing of UCC financing statements), securing the Secured Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Loan Party and all third parties, and
having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except in the case of (a) Permitted Encumbrances, to the extent any such Permitted Encumbrances would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to any
applicable law, (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title) to the extent the Collateral Agent has not obtained or does not maintain possession of such Collateral and (c) subject to and as
provided for under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liens granted under the Term Loan Security Documents.

books of the Loan Party or such Subsidiary to the extent required by GAAP. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to a
right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is a party or by which the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries
(or any predecessor) is bound.

 SECTION 5.08. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans will be used only for the
purposes specified in the introductory statement to this Agreement. No part of the proceeds of any Loan and no Letter of Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that would entail a violation of Regulations T, U or X.

 SECTION 5.10. Additional
Collateral; Further Assurances. (a) Subject to applicable law, the Borrower and each Subsidiary that is a Loan Party shall cause (i) each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than any Immaterial Subsidiary (except as otherwise provided in
paragraph (e) of this Section 5.10) or Unrestricted Subsidiary) formed or acquired after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) any Domestic Subsidiary that was an Immaterial Subsidiary but,
as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower has ceased to qualify as an Immaterial Subsidiary, to become a Loan Party as promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable by executing a Joinder Agreement in substantially the
form set forth as Exhibit E hereto (the “Joinder Agreement”). Upon execution and delivery thereof, each such Person (i) shall automatically become a Loan Guarantor hereunder and thereupon shall have all of the rights,
benefits, duties, and obligations in such capacity under the Loan Documents and (ii) will simultaneously therewith or as soon as practicable thereafter grant Liens to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders
and each other Secured Party at such time party to or benefiting from the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Agreement, in each case to the extent required by the terms thereof, in any property (subject to the limitations with respect to Equity
Interests set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 5.10, the limitations with respect to real property set forth in paragraph (f) of this Section 5.10 and any other limitations set forth in the Security Agreement) of such Loan
Party which constitutes Collateral, on such terms as may be required pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents and in such priority as may be required pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. 

(b) The Borrower and each Subsidiary that is a Loan Party will cause (i) 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity
Interests of each of its Domestic Subsidiaries, other than any Domestic Subsidiary taxed as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes that holds Equity Interests of a Foreign Subsidiary whose Equity Interests are pledged pursuant to clause
(ii) below, and (ii) 65% of 

  
 -86- 








 
the issued and outstanding Equity Interests entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) and 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests not entitled to
vote (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) in each Foreign Subsidiary and Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company, in each case, directly owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary that is a Loan Party to be subject at all times to
a first priority (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement), perfected Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents or other security documents as the Agents shall reasonably request;
provided, however that this paragraph (b) shall not require the Borrower or any Subsidiary to grant a security interest in the Equity Interests of any Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, each Loan Party will, and will cause each Subsidiary that is a Loan Party to, execute and
deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Agents such documents, agreements and instruments, and will take or cause to be taken such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings,
mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents and such other actions or deliveries of the type required by Section 4.01, as applicable, which may be required by law or which the Agents may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to ensure perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. 

(d) Subject to the limitations set forth or referred to in this Section 5.10, if any material assets (including any real
property or improvements thereto or any interest therein) are acquired by the Borrower or any other Loan Party after the Closing Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Security Agreement that become subject to the Lien in favor of
the Collateral Agent upon acquisition thereof), the Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders thereof, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower will cause such assets to be subjected to
a Lien securing the Secured Obligations and will take, and cause the Loan Parties that are Subsidiaries to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including
actions described in paragraph (c) of this Section, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. 
 (e) If, at any time and
from time to time after the Closing Date, Domestic Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties because they are Immaterial Subsidiaries comprise in the aggregate more than 5% of consolidated total assets as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal
quarter of the Borrower or more than 5% of EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which financial statements are available, then the Borrower shall, not
later than 45 days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent shall agree) after the date by which financial statements for such fiscal quarter are required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, cause one or more such Domestic
Subsidiaries to become additional Loan Parties (notwithstanding that such Subsidiaries are, individually, Immaterial Subsidiaries) such that the foregoing condition ceases to be true. 

  
 -87- 








 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.10
(i) the Borrower shall not be required to take any action with respect to the creation or perfection of a security interest in any asset or property to the extent that the cost of perfecting a Lien in such asset or property is unreasonable in
relation to the benefits to the Lenders of the security afforded thereby in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment after consultation with the Borrower and (ii) real property required to be mortgaged under this Section 5.10
shall be limited to real property located in the U.S. that is owned in fee by a Loan Party having a fair market value at the time of the acquisition thereof of $2,500,000 or more (and subject, in any event, to clause (i) above). 

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Loan Parties shall not be required to include as Collateral
any Excluded Assets (as defined in the Security Agreement). 
 SECTION 5.11. Designation of Subsidiaries. The Board of Directors of
the Borrower may at any time after the Closing Date designate any Subsidiary (other than Petco) as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary; provided that (i) immediately before and after such
designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) no Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it is a “Restricted Subsidiary” for the purposes of the Senior Subordinated Notes
and (iii) no Unrestricted Subsidiary that is designated as a Subsidiary may be redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary at any time prior to twelve (12) months after being so designated as a Subsidiary. The designation of any Subsidiary
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an investment by the Borrower therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the net book value of the Borrower’s investment therein. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a
Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time.

of an Event of Default on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity; provided that this clause (e) shall not apply to secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or
transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness if such sale or transfer is permitted hereunder and under the documents providing for such Indebtedness; 

(f) a Change in Control shall occur;

creditors; 

  
 -108-

in writing its inability or fail generally to pay its debts in excess of the threshold amount that constitutes Material Indebtedness as they become due; 

(j) one or more final judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $20,000,000 (to the extent not
paid or covered by third party insurance as to which the insurer has been notified of such judgment and does not deny coverage), shall be rendered against any Loan Party or any combination of Loan Parties and the same shall remain undischarged for a
period of sixty (60) consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, satisfied or bonded, or any writ or warrant of attachment or execution or similar process is issued or levied against all or any material part of the
property of any Loan Party and is not released, vacated, stayed or bonded within sixty (60) days after its issue or levy; 

(k) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred and are

 (l) the Loan Guaranty (with respect to
all or substantially all Loan Guarantors) at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason, other than as expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder, shall fail to remain in full force or effect, or any action shall be taken by any
Loan Party to discontinue or to assert the invalidity or unenforceability of the Loan Guaranty, or any Loan Guarantor shall deny or disaffirm in writing that it has any further liability under the Loan Guaranty to which it is a party; 

(m) (i) any Collateral Document after delivery thereof pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents shall for any reason, other

(subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) with respect to any significant portion of the Collateral purported to be covered thereby, except to the extent that any such loss of perfection or priority results from the failure of the Collateral Agent to
maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Collateral Documents or from the failure of the Administrative Agent to file UCC continuation statements and except as to Collateral consisting of
real property to the extent that such losses are covered by a lender’s title insurance policy and such insurer has been notified and has not denied coverage, or (ii) any Collateral Document shall fail to remain in full force or effect or
any action shall be taken by any Loan Party to discontinue or to assert the invalidity or unenforceability of any Collateral Document; 

(n) any Loan Document at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason other than as expressly permitted
hereunder or thereunder (including as a result of a transaction permitted under Section 6.03 or 6.05) or as a 

  
 -109- 








 
result of the satisfaction in full of the Obligations, ceases to be in full force and effect, or any Loan Party shall challenge in writing the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or
any Loan Party shall deny in writing that it has any further liability or obligation under any Loan Document (other than as a result of repayment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments) or purports in writing to revoke or
rescind any Loan Document; or 
 (o) the Obligations shall cease to constitute senior indebtedness under the subordination
provisions of any document or instrument evidencing any permitted Subordinated Indebtedness that is Material Indebtedness or such subordination provision shall be invalidated or otherwise cease, for any reason, to be valid, binding and enforceable
obligations of the parties thereto; 
 then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to any Loan Party described in clause (g) or
(h) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any of the following actions, at the same or
different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to
be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued
hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower, and (iii) require that the Borrower deposit in the LC Collateral Account an
amount in cash equal to 101.5% of the then outstanding LC Exposure; provided that upon the occurrence of an event with respect to any Loan Party described in clause (g) or (h) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically
terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest
or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower, and the obligation of the Borrower to cash collateralize the outstanding Letters of Credit as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further
act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Upon the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agents may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, exercise any rights and remedies provided to the Agents under the Loan
Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC. 
 SECTION 7.02. Exclusion of Immaterial Subsidiaries.
Solely for the purposes of determining whether an Event of Default has occurred under clause (g) or (h) of Section 7.01, any reference in any such paragraph to any Subsidiary shall be deemed not to include any Immaterial Subsidiary
affected by any event or circumstance referred to in any such paragraph; provided that if it is necessary to exclude more than one Subsidiary from paragraph (g) or (h) of Section 7.01 pursuant to this Section 7.02 in order
to avoid an Event of Default thereunder, all excluded Subsidiaries shall be considered to be a single consolidated Subsidiary for purposes of determining whether the condition specified above is satisfied. 

  
 -110- 








 SECTION 7.03. The Borrower’s Right to Cure. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in Section 7.01, in the event that the Borrower fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 7.03, would fail) to comply with the requirements of the covenant set forth in Section 6.14 (the “Financial
Performance Covenant”), until the expiration of the 10th day subsequent to the date the certificate calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(d) (or, in the case of the initial
calculation of the Financial Performance Covenant following the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, the 10th day subsequent to such occurrence), the Borrower shall have the right to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash or otherwise receive cash
contributions to the capital of the Borrower (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Borrower of such cash (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by the Borrower of such Cure Right, the
Financial Performance Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments: 
 (i) EBITDA
shall be increased, solely for the purpose of measuring the Financial Performance Covenant and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; and 

(ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of
the Financial Performance Covenant, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to
comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Performance Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four- fiscal-quarter period there shall be at least two
fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised and (ii) for purposes of this Section 7.03, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with the Financial Performance Covenant. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 The Agents

 Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as its agents
and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agents by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 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 such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any subsidiary of a
Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder. 

  
 -111- 








 The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither 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 the applicable Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agents shall not have any duty to
disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and
the Agents shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agents. 

The Agents 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the
proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action
taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 Each Agent may perform any and all
its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agents and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of
the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. 

  
 -112- 








 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph,
each Agent may resign at any time by notifying the other Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of
the Borrower, to appoint a successor Agent; provided that, during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, no consent of the Borrower shall be required. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and
shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the other Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent which
shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. 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 Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as an Agent. 

The Lenders may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Loan
Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its
affiliates, on the other. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any
other Lender 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. 
 Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each
Report prepared by or on behalf of the Agents; (b) neither Agent (i) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy
or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will
inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Agents undertake no obligation to
update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and
(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this 

  
 -113- 








 
Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Agents and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages,
costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by either Agent or such other Person as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying
Lender. 
 The arrangers, the joint bookrunners, the syndication agent and the co-documentation agents shall not have any right, power,
obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.

 -115- 








 
Document or (iii) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such
non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an
electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be,
pursuant to any additional method of delivery specified in the Loan Documents, but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent. 

(c) The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing
Banks materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the
“Platform”) and (b)certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public
Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word
“PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower
Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute
Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.12); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and
(z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents and
(2) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities. 
 (d) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND
“AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN
THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR 

  
 -116- 








 
FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES 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 TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY
SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 

(e) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address
set forth above 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 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 email 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. 

(f) Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the
other parties hereto. 
 SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by any Agent, Issuing Bank or 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 the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document 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
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, the making of
a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

  
 -117- 








 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof
or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the
Required Lenders), or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document (other than any such amendment to effectuate any modification thereto expressly contemplated by the terms of such other Loan Documents), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender
without the written consent of such Lender; it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Article IV or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments, or the making of any
Protective Advance, so long as in compliance with the provisions of Section 2.04, shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender; provided that any change to the second proviso to the second sentence of
Section 2.04(a) shall require the written consent of each Lender, (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the provisions of Section 2.13(c) providing for the default rate of
interest, or to waive any obligations of the Borrower to pay interest at such default rate, (C) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or
other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided
that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the provisions of Section 2.13(c) providing for the default rate of interest, or to waive any obligations of the Borrower to pay interest at such default rate,
(D) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) or Section 2.10(b) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender, (E) change the definition of the term “Borrowing
Base” or any component definition thereof if as a result thereof the amounts available to be borrowed by the Borrower would be increased (provided that the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the Agents to change, establish or
eliminate any Reserves without the consent of any Lenders), or reduce the Dollar amount set forth in the definition of “Liquidity Event”, in each case without the written consent of the Super Majority Lenders, (F) change any of the
provisions of this Section 9.02 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or the definition of “Super Majority Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of
any Class) 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, (G) release all or substantially all of the value of the Loan Guaranties
(except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, including pursuant to Section 6.3, 6.05 or 10.12 hereof), without the written consent of each Lender, or (H)

  
 -118- 








 
except as provided in clause (c) or (d) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender;
provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent or any Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be.
The Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (i) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve
or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that any Commitment or Loan held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender
shall be excluded from a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders) and (ii) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and restated) pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by (i) the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each Lender or Additional Lender providing a Revolving Commitment Increase pursuant to the applicable Incremental Amendment and, if required, each Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.23
and (ii) the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Accepting Lender pursuant to Section 2.24. 
 (c) The
Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) upon the termination of the Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all
Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), the termination, expiration or, to the extent effected in a manner reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Banks or as otherwise provided for herein, cash collateralization or
back-stopping of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to the Agents, (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of the property constituting such Collateral
(including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Loan Party, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement
(and the Agents may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, if the release of such
Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (iv) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Loan Guarantor, upon the release of such Loan Guarantor from its obligations under its
Loan Guaranty in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (v) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Agents and the Lenders pursuant to the Collateral
Documents or (vi) as required pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that the Agents may, in their discretion, release the Lien on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $5,000,000 during each fiscal
year without the consent of any Lender. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those 

  
 -119- 








 
expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to
constitute part of the Collateral to the extent required under the provisions of the Loan Documents. 
 (d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this, pledge agreements and related documents (if any) executed by Foreign Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be amended and
waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lenders if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local
counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such pledge agreement or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

(e) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or
“each Lender directly affected thereby”, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a
“Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that, if any consent, amendment, waiver or other modification
disproportionately disadvantages one Class of Lenders without disadvantaging another Class of Lenders, the Borrower may replace such Non-Consenting Lender only with respect to the Class of Revolving Loans or Commitments being disadvantaged);
provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other
Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to
comply with the requirements of Section 9.04(b), (ii) the replacement Lender shall pay the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(C), if applicable, in accordance with the terms of such Section,
(iii) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver or consent and (iv) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement
(1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including, without limitation, payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under
Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather
than sold to the replacement Lender. 

  
 -120- 








 SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all
reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Agents, in connection with the syndication
and distribution (including, without limitation, via the Internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation of the Loan Documents and related documentation, (ii) all reasonable
documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one outside legal counsel to the Agents, in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
provisions of any Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated), (iii) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, Issuing Banks or the Lenders, including the reasonable
documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents and for one law firm retained by the Lenders (in addition to any such counsel for the Agents) (unless the interests of any group of Lenders are sufficiently materially
divergent, in which case one (1) additional counsel for such group of Lenders may be retained), in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this
Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or related negotiations in respect of such Loans of
Letters of Credit, and (iv) subject to any other provisions of this Agreement, of the Loan Documents or of any separate agreement entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with respect thereto, all reasonable documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in the administration of the Loan Documents. Expenses reimbursable by the Borrower under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to any other
applicable provision of any Loan Document, reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with: 

(i) appraisals; 

(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the Agents or
(notwithstanding any reference to “out-of-pocket” above in this Section 9.03) the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Agents with respect to each field examination; 

(iii) lien and title searches and title insurance; 

(iv) taxes, fees and other charges for recording the Mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and other
actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Collateral Agent’s Liens; and 
 (v) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting
checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral. 

Other than to the extent required to be paid on the Closing Date, all amounts due under this paragraph (a) shall be payable by the Borrower within ten
(10) Business Days of receipt of an invoice relating thereto and setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. 

  
 -121- 








 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender,
and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related
expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents
or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter
of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit), (iii) any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is
initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties,
liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to an Agent or an Issuing Bank under
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense
or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent or
such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party to this Agreement shall
assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto or any Related Party thereof, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be paid promptly after written demand therefor. 

  
 -122- 








 SECTION 9.04. 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 (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not (except
as permitted under Section 6.03) assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be
null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section (any attempted assignment or transfer not complying with the terms of this Section shall be null and
void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any
Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph
(b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written
consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of
the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default specified in paragraphs (a), (g) or (h) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing, any
other Eligible Assignee and provided further that no additional consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment during the primary syndication of the Loans to Persons identified by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower on or
prior to the Closing Date and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower; 
 (B) the Administrative Agent; and 

(C) each Issuing Bank. 

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or the principal amount of Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment
and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent and determined on an aggregate basis in the event of concurrent assignments to Related Funds (as defined 

  
 -123- 








 
below)) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an
Event of Default specified in paragraphs (a), (g) or (h) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing; 

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement (except that this clause (B) shall not limit the right of a Lender to assign all or any portion of its Commitment (without the necessity of assigning a proportionate portion of both)); 

(C) the parties to each assignment shall (1) electronically execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment
and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which initially shall be ClearPar, LLC) or (2) manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (provided that such fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and only one such fee shall be payable in the case of concurrent assignments to Persons that, after
giving effect to such assignments, will be Related Funds); and 
 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall
deliver on or prior to the effective date of such assignment, to the Administrative Agent (1) an Administrative Questionnaire and (2) if applicable, an appropriate Internal Revenue Service form (such as Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any
successor form adopted by the relevant United States taxing authority) as required by applicable law supporting such assignee’s position that no withholding by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent for United States income tax payable by
such assignee in respect of amounts received by it hereunder is required. 
 The term “Related Funds” shall mean with respect to any Lender
that is an Approved Fund, any other Approved Fund that is managed or advised by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor. 

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, 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, 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 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 

  
 -124- 








 
and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring on or prior to the effective date of such assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 paragraph (c) of this Section. 

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the 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 their respective successors and assigns, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of and interest on the Loans and
LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the
Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by
the Borrower, the Issuing Banks and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the
assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and tax certifications required by Section 9.04(b)(ii)(D) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section, if applicable, and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the
Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(c) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall
have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective
for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (vi) By
executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender
warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Revolving Loans, in each case without giving effect to
assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes


  
 -125- 








 
no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee, legally authorized to
enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.04(a) or delivered pursuant to
Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon
the Agents, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such
assignee appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to such Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks, sell participations
to one or more banks or other entities (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 (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Agents,
the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such
a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a
Lender. 

  
 -126- 








 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior
written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees,
for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17(f) as though it were a Lender. 
 (iii) Each Lender that
sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that 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 this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish
that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and
such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 

(d) 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 without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.04 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. 

(e) 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 the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that
such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the 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 

  
 -127- 








 
pursuant to the terms hereof. 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 (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement
(including its obligations under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17), (ii) 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) and
(iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record hereunder. 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 or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or 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 the Borrower and 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. 
 (f) In the event that any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender or S&P, Moody’s and Thompson’s
BankWatch (or InsuranceWatch Ratings Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance companies (or Best’s Insurance Reports, if such insurance company is not rated by Insurance Watch Ratings Service)) shall downgrade the long-term
certificate deposit ratings of such Lender, and the resulting ratings shall be below BBB-, Baa3 and C (or BB, in the case of a Lender that is an insurance company (or B, in the case of an insurance company not rated by InsuranceWatch Ratings
Service)) (or, with respect to any Lender that is not rated by any such ratings service or provider or the Issuing Banks shall have reasonably determined that there has occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition of any such
Lender, or a material impairment of the ability of any such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, as compared to such condition or ability as of the date that any such Lender became a Lender) then an Issuing Bank shall have the right, but not
the obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Lender with an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above), and such Lender hereby
agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above) all its interests, rights and obligations in respect of its 

  
 -128- 








 
Commitment to such assignee; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule and regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and
(ii) such Issuing Bank or such assignee, as the case may be, shall pay to such Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Lender
hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder. 
 SECTION 9.05. Survival. All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the 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 and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such
other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that an Agent, an Issuing Bank 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 the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have
not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans,
the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

SECTION 9.06. 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, the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent Fee Letter, the Collateral Agent Fee
Letter and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agents 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 Agents 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 shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.07. Severability. To the extent permitted by law, any provision of any Loan Document 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 thereof; and
the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

  
 -129- 








 SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final)
at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application;
provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, AT ANY TIME THAT ANY OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF
SETOFF, LENDER’S LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE LENDERS REQUIRED BY SECTION
9.02 OF THIS AGREEMENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT
OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE COLLATERAL AGENT PURSUANT TO THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OR ANY SUCH RIGHT
WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE PARTIES AS REQUIRED ABOVE, SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS. 

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER
THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED AND IN EFFECT, ON THE DATE SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT WAS ISSUED, BY
THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (THE “UNIFORM CUSTOMS”) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction
of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York in 

  
 -130- 








 
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, 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 may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, 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 law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that any Agent, any
Issuing Bank 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 it may legally and effectively do so,
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 paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) To the extent permitted by law, each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives personal service of any and all
process upon it and agrees that all such service of process may be made by registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to it at its address for notices as provided for in Section 9.01. 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 law. 
 SECTION 9.10.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT,
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED 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. 
 SECTION 9.11. 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. 

  
 -131- 








 SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees (and
each Lender agrees to cause its SPC, if any) to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents,
including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential),
(b) to the extent requested by any regulatory, governmental or administrative authority, (c) to the extent required by law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection
with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any SPC,
(ii) any pledgee referred to in Section 9.04(d) or (iii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent of
the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to an Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis other
than as a result of a breach of this Section from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to the Loan Parties or their businesses, the
Sponsors or the Transactions other than any such information that is available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of
Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information. 
 SECTION 9.13. Several Obligations; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder
are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, neither the Issuing Banks nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any Requirement of Law. 

SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act hereby notifies the Borrower that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such
Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. 
 SECTION 9.15. Disclosure. Each Loan Party and each Lender
hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Agents and/or their Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates. In addition, each Loan
Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges that the Agents and/or their Affiliates may make a loan to the Borrower under the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility. 

  
 -132- 








 SECTION 9.16. Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as
its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender
(other than the Collateral Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent
or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. 
 SECTION 9.17. Interest Rate
Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively
the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate
of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such
Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until
such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 

SECTION 9.18. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 9.19. INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. EACH LENDER HEREUNDER (A) CONSENTS TO
THE SUBORDINATION OF LIENS PROVIDED FOR IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, (B) AGREES THAT IT WILL BE BOUND BY AND WILL TAKE NO ACTIONS CONTRARY TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND (C) AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS
THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AS REVOLVING FACILITY AGENT AND ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE LENDERS UNDER THE SENIOR SECURED TERM FACILITY CREDIT AGREEMENT TO
EXTEND CREDIT AND SUCH LENDERS ARE INTENDED THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF SUCH PROVISIONS AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

 ARTICLE X 

Loan Guaranty 
 SECTION
10.01. Guaranty. Each Loan Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders the prompt payment when due,
whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations (collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may
be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. 

SECTION 10.02. Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any
right to require any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to sue the Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”),
or otherwise to enforce its rights in respect of any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 SECTION 10.03.
No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty. (a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or
termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or
other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, any Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions. 

(b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or
termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. 
 (c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not
discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any
waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or 

  
 -134- 








 
invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of the Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person
liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or
delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise
operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations). 

SECTION 10.04. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based
on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any Loan Guarantor,
other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party, or any other Person. The Collateral Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any
Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed
Obligations, and the Administrative Agent may, at its election, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any
Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy
of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security. 
 SECTION 10.05. Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will
assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully
performed all their obligations to the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders. 
 SECTION 10.06. Reinstatement; Stay of
Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, each Loan
Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on
demand by the Administrative Agent. 

  
 -135- 








 SECTION 10.07. Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and
keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor
assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that none of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks. 

SECTION 10.08. Taxes. All payments of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor free and clear of and without
deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Loan Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

SECTION 10.09. Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any
state corporate law, or any state, Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or
determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such
liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined
hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not
subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other Person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any
Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this
Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability. 

SECTION 10.10. Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments
under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Loan Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall


  
 -136- 








 
contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Guarantor Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying
Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Guarantor Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by
reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum
Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of
all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for
any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from the Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor’s
several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a
Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of the Agents, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be
enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 SECTION 10.11. Liability Cumulative. The
liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically
provides to the contrary. 
 SECTION 10.12. Release of Loan Guarantors. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02(b) to the
contrary (i) a Loan Guarantor that is a Subsidiary shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and its Loan Guaranty shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder as a result of
which such Loan Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower and (ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (A) if a Loan Guarantor is or becomes an Immaterial Subsidiary, and such release would not result
in any Immaterial Subsidiary being required pursuant to Section 5.10(e) to become a Loan Party hereunder (except to the extent that on and as of the date of such release, one or more other Immaterial Subsidiaries become Loan Guarantors
hereunder and the provisions of Section 5.10(e) are satisfied upon giving effect to all such additions and releases) or (B) a Loan Guarantor that is a Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with
Section 5.11, then, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), such Loan Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder and its Loan Guaranty shall be automatically released upon notification thereof from the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent. In connection with any such release, the Agents shall execute and deliver to any Loan Guarantor that is a Subsidiary, at such Loan Guarantor’s expense, all documents that such Loan Guarantor shall
reasonably request to evidence termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 10.12 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Agents. 

  
 -137- 








 SECTION 10.13. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Loan Guaranty in respect of Specified Swap
Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 10.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this
Section 10.13 or otherwise under this Loan Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this
Section 10.13 shall remain in full force and effect until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full or otherwise terminated. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.13 constitute, and this Section 10.13 shall
be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
