 TERM LOAN CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of January 25, 2007 (this “Agreement”), among
METAL SERVICES MERGER SUB CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”). METAL SERVICES HOLDCO LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), each subsidiary of the Borrower from time to time party hereto,
the Lenders (as defined in Article I), and CREDIT SUISSE, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders hereunder (in such capacities, the “Administrative Agent”). 
 Pursuant to or in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement (such term and each other capitalized term used but not defined in this introductory
statement having the meaning given it in Article I), (a) Holdings shall, directly or indirectly, acquire (the “Acquisition”) all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Tube City IMS Corporation (the “Acquired
Business”), a Delaware corporation and cancel options to purchase shares of common stock of the Acquired Business for aggregate consideration of approximately $620,000,000 in cash (the “Acquisition Consideration”),
(b) the Borrower will obtain the Senior Secured Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of $165,000,000, (c) the Borrower will issue, in a public offering or in a Rule 144A or other private placement,
$225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Subordinated Notes, (f) the Equity Contribution will be made, (g) the Existing Debt Refinancing will be effected and (h) the Transaction Costs will be paid. Promptly following the
consummation of the Acquisition, the Borrower will merge with and into the Acquired Business, with the Acquired Business being the surviving person in such merger (the “Merger”). From and after the effective time of the Merger, all
references in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document to the term “Borrower” shall be deemed to be references to the Acquired Business. 
 In connection with the foregoing, the Borrower has requested the Lenders to extend credit in the form of Term Loans on the Closing Date, in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $165,000,000 and in the form
of a synthetic letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20,000,000. The proceeds of the Term Loans are to be used solely to finance, in part, the Acquisition Consideration, the Existing Debt Refinancing and the
Transaction Costs and the synthetic letter of credit facility is to be used to support payment obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business by the Borrower and its subsidiaries. 
 The Lenders are willing to extend such credit to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Interest Expense
	 Mar 31, 2006

 In the event that the Borrower or any Subsidiary incurs, assumes, guarantees, redeems, retires or
extinguishes any Indebtedness or issues or redeems Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for
which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Calculation Date”), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption,
retirement or extinguishing of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period (the “reference period”).

 For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and disposed
operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) that have been made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Calculation Date
shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and disposed operations (and the change in any associated fixed charges and the change in 








 
EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the reference period; provided that any such pro forma adjustments shall be limited to
those permitted or required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. If since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a Subsidiary or was
merged with or into the Borrower or any Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or disposed operation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this
definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or disposed operation had occurred at the beginning of the
reference period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, EBITDA shall be calculated (a) without giving effect to the effects of purchase accounting or similar adjustments required or permitted by GAAP in connection with the
Acquisition or any other acquisition of all or substantially all the assets or businesses of a Person or of assets constituting a business unit, line of business or division of such a Person or not less than 100% (or such lesser percentage, when
combined with the percentage of Equity Interest owned by the Borrower or a Subsidiary prior to such acquisition, would equal 100%) of the Equity Interests (other than directors’ qualifying shares) of a Person and (b) with respect to any
period during which such an acquisition occurs, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such acquisition (but only to the extent that an adjustment resulting from such acquisition would be a permitted or required adjustment to pro forma
financial statements in compliance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act or to the extent such adjustment is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). 
 For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a
responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation
Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by
a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness
under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate
based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may
designate. 
 “Fixed Charges” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the sum of (a) Consolidated Interest
Expense of such Person for such period, (b) all cash dividend payments (excluding items eliminated in consolidation) on any series of Preferred Stock of such Person during such period, and (c) all cash dividend payments (excluding items

Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.12, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or LIBO Rate Loans as the Borrower may request
in accordance herewith. 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, (ii) such LIBO Rate Loan shall be deemed to have been made and held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such LIBO Rate Loan

additional tax liability to Borrower, and (iv) 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 2.13 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

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 elect to convert or continue any
Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date (or the Incremental Term Facility Maturity Date with respect to Incremental Term Loans, if any). 
 SECTION 2.03. Request for Borrowing on the Closing Date, (a) To request the making of the Loans hereunder on the Closing Date, 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 not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, two (2) Business Days before

 (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 
 (ii) the date of the Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the 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 to which funds are to be disbursed. 
 (b) 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 LIBO Rate Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
Promptly following receipt of the 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. Funding of the Borrowing on the Closing Date, (a) Each Lender shall make the Loan to be made by it hereunder on
the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 (noon), 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 of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made on the Closing Date. 
 (b) Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the Closing Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such 








 
Lender’s share of the Borrowing on the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on the Closing
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 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 the Borrowing on the Closing Date. 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 Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
 SECTION 2.05. Type: Interest
Elections. (a) The Loans initially shall be of the Type specified in the Borrowing Request and, in the case of a LIBO Rate Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period (not to exceed two (2) months’ duration) as specified in
such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert all or any portion of any Borrowing (subject to the minimum amounts for Borrowings of the applicable Type specified in Section 2.02(c)) 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 holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone
(i) in the case of an election to convert to or continue as a LIBO Rate Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed conversion or continuation or (ii) in the case
of an election to convert to or continue as an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior to the date of the proposed conversion or continuation. 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);

 (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 (ii) 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 2.06. Termination of Commitments. The Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the
making of the Term Loans on the Closing Date. 
 SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan and Pre-Funded L/C Loan, if any, on the Maturity Date and the then unpaid principal amount of each Other
Term Loan on the Incremental Term Facility Maturity Date. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the dates set forth below, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day
(each such date being called a “Repayment Date” and such payments being called “Scheduled Loan Repayments”) a principal amount of the Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.08, 2.09(d) and
2.20(e) equal to the amount set forth below for such date), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment:

 (b) In the event that any Incremental Term Loans are made on an Increased Amount
Date, the Borrower shall repay such Incremental Term Loans on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement. 
 (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. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent
shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the 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 (b) or (c) 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 F 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 2.08. Optional Prepayment of Loans; Termination or Reduction of Pre-Funded L/C Commitments. (a) Upon prior notice in accordance with
paragraph (b) 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 2.14). 
 (b) 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 12:00 noon, 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 12:00 noon, New York
City time, one Business Day prior to 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 a notice of
prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, 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. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a prepayment, 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 a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be allocated pro rata among the Loans and shall be applied to the then
remaining Scheduled Loan Repayments as directed by the Borrower, provided that any optional prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to any LIBO Rate Loans in a manner that
minimizes the amount of payments to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14 and provided further, that any optional prepayments of Pre-Funded L/C Loans made other than in connection with a corresponding reduction of the
Pre-Funded L/C Commitments shall be made to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly remit the same to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.11. 
 (c) Upon delivering the notice required by Section 2.08(d), the Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the
Pre-Funded L/C Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Pre-Funded L/C 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 aggregate amount of the Pre-
Funded L/C Commitments shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the sum of the outstanding Pre-Funded L/C Loans and the Pre-Funded L/C Exposure at the time. 
 (d) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Pre-Funded L/C Commitments 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 Pre-Funded L/C
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 Pre-Funded L/C 








 
Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions, 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 Pre-Funded L/C Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.08
shall be permanent. Upon any reduction of the Pre-Funded L/C Commitments, the Pre-Funded L/C Commitment of each Pre-Funded L/C Lender shall be reduced by such Pre-Funded L/C Lender’s Pre-Funded Pro Rata Percentage of such reduction amount. In
addition, in connection with any reduction or termination of the Pre-Funded L/C Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Administrative Agent shall return to the Pre-Funded L/C Lenders, from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, in
accordance with their respective Pre-Funded Pro Rata Percentages, an amount equal to the amount of such reduction or termination. 
 SECTION
2.09. Mandatory Prepayment of Term Loans. (a) No later than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the financial statements with respect to each fiscal year of the Borrower are required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 5.01 (a), commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2007, the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to (A) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended,
minus (B) the amount of any prepayments of Term Loans or Pre-Funded L/C Loans made pursuant to Section 2.08 (so long as a corresponding reduction in Pre-Funded L/C Commitments is made), the amount of any voluntary prepayments of
loans under the Senior Secured Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement solely to the extent there is an equivalent permanent reduction in revolving commitments thereunder and the amount of any voluntary reductions in Pre-Funded L/C Commitments solely
to the extent that there is an equal amount of Credit-Linked Deposits repaid to the Lenders, in each case during such fiscal year, except to the extent that such prepayments were financed with the proceeds of other Indebtedness of the Borrower or
its Subsidiaries; provided that (i) such percentage of Excess Cash Flow shall be reduced to 25% of such Excess Cash Flow if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio at the end of such fiscal year shall be equal to or less than 3.00 to 1.00, but
greater than 2.00 to 1.00, and (ii) such prepayment shall not be required if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio at the end of such fiscal year shall be equal to or less than 2.00 to 1.00. 
 (b) (i) Not later than the third Business Day following the receipt of Net Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall apply
an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.09(d). 
 (ii) Not later than the third Business Day following the receipt of Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds to prepay
outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.09(d). 
 (c) In the event that any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a
Loan Party shall receive Net Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness for money borrowed of any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party (other than any cash proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness for money borrowed permitted
pursuant to Section 6.01), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Proceeds by such Loan Party or such subsidiary, apply an amount
equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.09(d). 







 (d) All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be applied
to prepay outstanding Term Loans of the Lenders that accept the same (and pro rata among such Lenders), which prepayments any Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the
Administrative Agent, prior to any prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09, to decline all (but not a portion) of its pro rata share of such prepayment (such declined amounts, the
“Declined Proceeds”). Any Declined Proceeds shall be offered to the Lenders not so declining such prepayment (with such Lenders having the right to decline any prepayment with Declined Proceeds at the time and in the manner
specified by the Administrative Agent). All accepted prepayments shall be applied to the repayment of the then remaining applicable Scheduled Loan Repayments in forward order of maturity then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, the amount of
such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to ABR Term Loans to the full extent thereof before application to LIBO Rate Term Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.14. Thereafter, the remaining Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower. 
 (e) The Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.09, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such
prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least five (5) days’ prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Term Loan being prepaid and the principal
amount of each Term Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.11. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.09 shall be subject to Section 2.14, but
shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. 
 SECTION 2.10. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay: 
 (a) to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the agency fees set forth in the 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; 
 (b) to the Administrative Agent, on each Interest Payment Date and on the date on which any Credit-Linked Deposit is terminated and the
funds therein returned to the Pre-Funded L/C Lenders, a fee (a “Pre-Funded L/C Commitment Fee”) calculated on the amounts on deposit in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account during the Interest Period ending on such Interest Payment
Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin used for LIBO Rate Borrowings during such period plus 0.10% per annum (and promptly upon receipt of such Pre-Funded L/C Commitment Fee, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each
Pre-Funded L/C Lender its Pre- Funded Pro Rata Percentage of such fee in accordance with Section 2.19(k)), and 
 (c) 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 extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. 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 Pre-Funded L/C Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Pre-Funded L/C
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. 
 SECTION 2.11. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing 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. 
 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan; 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, 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. 
 (f) In the event that any financial statement or certificate
delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 is inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Pre-Funded L/C Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of
a higher Applicable Rate or higher fees for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Rate or fees applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Agent a corrected
financial statement and a corrected certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Rate or fee shall be determined based on the corrected financial statement or certificate for such Applicable Period, and (iii) the Borrower
shall immediately pay to the Agent the accrued additional interest or fees owing as a result of such increased Applicable Rate for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
Section 2.16(b). This Section 2.11(f) shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to Sections 2.13(c) and Section 7.01. 







 SECTION 2.12. 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 (which the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to do), 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. 
 SECTION 2.13. 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 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBO Rate Loans made by such Lender; 
 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 to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender 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 such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered (except for any Taxes, which shall be dealt with exclusively pursuant to Section 2.15). 
 (b) If any
Lender 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 capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (other than due to Taxes, which shall be dealt with exclusively pursuant to
Section 2.15) (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time following delivery of the certificate contemplated by
paragraph (c) of this Section the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company 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 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 to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred
more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further
that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 SECTION 2.14. 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, 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 2.17, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (other than loss of profit). In the case of a LIBO Rate Loan, such loss, cost or
expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount reasonably 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 2.15. 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 or Lender
(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 make any deduction or withholding from any sum payable hereunder, such Loan Party shall promptly notify the relevant
Lender or Administrative Agent upon becoming aware of the same. 
 (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
and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid 








 
by such Agent or such Lender, 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 by an Agent on its own behalf or on
behalf of a Lender, 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)
Any Foreign Lender 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 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. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent
or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant
to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative Agent or such 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 Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees
to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems
confidential) to such Loan Party or any other Person. 
 SECTION 2.16. 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 or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to
12:00 noon, 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 that
payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 may at the Borrower’s election be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by 








 
it, except as otherwise provided, for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Unless otherwise
specified, 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. 
 (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 Article VII, shall upon election by the Agents or at the direction of the Required Lenders be applied,
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 Hedging Obligations), second, ratably, to pay any fees or expense
reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower (other than in connection with Hedging Obligations), third, to pay interest due and payable in respect of the Loans, ratably, fourth, to prepay principal on the Loans and any
unreimbursed L/C Disbursements and any amounts owing with respect to Hedging Obligations, ratably, fifth, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to 101.5% of the Pre-Funded L/C Exposure on such date, to be held in the Pre-Funded
L/C Collateral Account as cash collateral for such Obligations, sixth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Agents or any Lender (or any Affiliate thereof) by the Borrower, seventh, as provided for under the
Intercreditor Agreement, and eighth, 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 L/C Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of
the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements 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 L/C Disbursements 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 L/C Disbursements; 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 L/C Disbursements 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 set-off 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 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 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 2.03(a), 2.16(c), 2.19(d) or (e) 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 2.17. Mitigation Obligations: Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13 or such Lender determines it can no longer make or maintain LIBO Rate Loans pursuant to
Section 2.18, 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 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a
different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.15, 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 2.13 or such Lender determines it can no longer make or maintain LIBO Rate
Loans pursuant to Section 2.18, 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 2.15 or such Lender determines it can no longer make
or maintain LIBO Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.18, 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 (if such assignee is not an existing
Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, 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 2.13 or a determination made pursuant to Section 2.18 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Each Lender agrees that if it
is replaced pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and 








 
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and Assumption;
provided that the failure of any Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.17 to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid. 
 SECTION 2.18. 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 2.19. 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. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, (i) each Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Pre-Funded L/C Lenders set forth in this Section 2.19, (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 2.19 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 2.19(b), and (B) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit, and (ii) the Pre-Funded L/C Lenders severally agree to participate in the Letters of Credit issued pursuant to
Section 2.19(d). Subject to the terms and conditions 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, provided however, that Pre-Funded L/C Loans may not be reborrowed as such. 
 (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 a Letter of Credit,
which shall specify that it is being issued under this Agreement, in the form of Exhibit G 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 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 sum of the Pre-Funded L/C Exposure and the Pre-Funded L/C Loans shall not exceed the aggregate Pre-Funded L/C Commitments,

 (ii) the aggregate Pre-Funded L/C Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Credit-Linked Deposits, and 
 (iii) all conditions precedent in Section 4.02 have been satisfied (or waived by the Pre-Funded L/C Lenders with Pre-Funded L/C
Credit Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Pre-Funded L/C Credit Exposure). 
 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 Pre-Funded L/C Lenders, in writing, of such Letter of Credit or amendment, and if so requested by a Pre-Funded L/C Lender, the
Administrative Agent will provide such Pre-Funded L/C 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. 
 (c) Expiration Date. Each standby Letter of Credit shall expire not later than the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business
Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that any standby Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one year in duration (none of which, in any event, shall extend
beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (c)). 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 five
(5) 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 Pre-Funded L/C Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Pre-Funded L/C Lender, and each
Pre-Funded L/C Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pre-Funded Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In
consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Pre-Funded L/C Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally authorizes the Administrative Agent to pay the Issuing Bank such Pre-Funded 








 
L/C Lender’s Pre-Funded Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement in respect of Pre-Funded Letters of Credit made by the 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, from the Credit-Linked Deposits on deposit with the Administrative
Agent in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account forthwith on the date due as provided by Section 2.19(k). Each Pre-Funded L/C 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. (i) If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C 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 L/C 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 L/C Disbursement. If the Borrower fails to reimburse any L/C Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit when due, then the applicable Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative
Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Pre-Funded L/C Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Pre- Funded Pro Rata Percentage thereof. 
 (ii) Each Pre-Funded L/C Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank solely from such
Lender’s Pre-Funded Pro Rata Percentage of the Credit-Linked Deposits on deposit with the Administrative Agent in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account in an aggregate amount equal to such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that such amount
shall be deemed to constitute a Pre-Funded L/C Loan of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the Pre-Funded L/C Exposure), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank such amounts. Any amounts received
by the Administrative Agent thereafter pursuant to Section 2.19(e)(i) will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account (it being understood that, thereafter, such amounts will be available to reimburse
the applicable Issuing Bank in accordance with the preceding sentence of this paragraph). 
 (iii) On each date on which the
Administrative Agent charges the Credit-Linked Deposit Account to reimburse a L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e)(ii), the Borrower shall have the right either to reimburse such amount or to allow such amount to remain outstanding
as a Pre-Funded L/C Loan denominated with an initial Interest Period coincident with the then-applicable Interest Period for Credit-Linked Deposits and the Adjusted LIBO Rate therefor shall be the same as the then-applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate for
the Credit-Linked Deposits. Thereafter, each Borrowing in respect of such Pre-Funded L/C Loan shall be comprised either of LIBO Rate Loans or ABR Loans, as the Borrower may elect in accordance with Section 2.05. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse L/C 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 (i) 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 Pre-Funded L/C 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. 
 (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 L/C 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 Pre-Funded L/C Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C
Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such L/C
Disbursement or elects to deem such L/C Disbursement a Pre-Funded L/C Loan pursuant to Section 2.19(e)(iii), at the rate per annum equal to the rate of interest in effect for such day as announced from time to time by the applicable Issuing
Bank as its “prime rate” at its principal office in the United States. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank. 
 (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 and the successor Issuing Bank. The 








 
Administrative Agent shall notify the Pre-Funded L/C 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 2.10(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, Pre-Funded L/C Lenders with Pre-Funded L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Pre-Funded L/C Exposure) demanding
the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, upon such demand, the Borrower shall deposit, in an interest-bearing account with the Collateral Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Pre-Funded L/C Lenders
(the “Pre-Funded L/C Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 101.5% of the Pre-Funded L/C 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 L/C 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, 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 L/C 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 Pre-Funded L/C
Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Pre-Funded L/C Lenders with Pre-Funded L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Pre-Funded L/C 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. 
 (k) Credit-Linked Deposit Account. (i) The Credit-Linked Deposits shall be held by the Administrative Agent in (or credited
to) the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, and no person other than the Administrative Agent shall have a right of withdrawal from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or any other right or power with respect to the Credit-Linked Deposits. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the funding obligation of each Pre-Funded L/C Lender in respect of its participation in Letters of Credit shall be satisfied in full upon the funding of its Credit-Linked Deposit. 







 (ii) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Pre-Funded L/C Lender
hereby acknowledges and agrees that (x) each Pre-Funded L/C Lender is funding its Credit-Linked Deposit to the Administrative Agent for application in the manner contemplated by paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Section 2.19 and
(y) the Administrative Agent may invest the Credit-Linked Deposits in such investments as may be determined from time to time by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to pay to each Pre-Funded L/C Lender, on each
Interest Payment Date for the Credit-Linked Deposits, interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) on the amount of such Pre-Funded L/C Lender’s Pre-Funded Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate
amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits during such Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period less 0.10% per annum. With respect to any Interest Period during which a Pre-Funded L/C Loan is deemed
made, the Administrative Agent shall determine the amount of interest payable by the Borrower on such Pre-Funded L/C Loan for the portion of such Interest Period during which such Pre-Funded L/C Loan is outstanding pursuant to paragraph (h) of
this Section and the amount of interest payable by the Administrative Agent on the Credit-Linked Deposits during such Interest Period, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (iii) The Borrower shall not have any right, title or interest in or to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or the Credit-Linked Deposits
and no obligations with respect thereto other than as expressly provided in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the obligation to return the Credit-Linked Deposits to the Pre-Funded L/C Lenders is solely an obligation of the
Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall have no liability or obligation in respect of the principal amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits. 
 SECTION 2.20. Incremental Term Loan Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower) from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments,
in an aggregate amount not to exceed $80,000,000 from one or more Incremental Term Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Term Loans in their own discretion. Such notice shall set forth (i) the
amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan
Commitments are requested to become effective (the “Increased Amount Date”), (iii) whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are to be Term Loan Commitments or commitments to make term loans with pricing and/or
amortization terms different from the Term Loans (“Other Term Loans”). 
 (b) The Borrower and each
Incremental Term Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of
such Incremental Term Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Term Loans; provided that (i) the Other Term Loans shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of
security with the Term Loans and, except as to pricing, amortization and final maturity date, shall have (x) the same terms as the Term Loans or (y) such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
(ii) the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date, (iii) the terms applicable to each series of Other Term Loans shall not require any prepayment thereof in excess of the pro rata share of such
series relative to all Term Loans (including the Term Loans made on the Closing Date and all other Other Term Loans) and (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Other Term Loans shall be no shorter than the 








 
remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans. If the Applicable Margin (which, for purposes of this sentence only, shall be deemed to
include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing such Term Loans, as applicable) relating to any Incremental Term Loan Commitment exceeds the Applicable Margin relating to the Term Loans or the
Credit-Linked Deposits, as the case may be, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement by more than 0.25%, the Applicable Margin relating to the Term Loans shall be adjusted to be equal to the
Applicable Margin relating to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment minus 0.25%. 
 (c) Each of the parties hereto hereby
agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments evidenced
thereby as provided for in Section 9.02(f). Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.

 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.20
unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and
executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received customary legal opinions, board resolutions and other customary closing certificates and documentation as required by the relevant Incremental
Assumption Agreement and, to the extent required by the Administrative Agent, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 and such additional customary documents and filings (including amendments to the Mortgages and
other Security Documents and title endorsement bringdowns) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to assure that the Incremental Term Loans are secured by the Collateral ratably with (or, to the extent agreed by the applicable
Incremental Term Lenders in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, junior to) the existing Term Loans, (iii) after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the Loans to be made thereunder and the application of the
proceeds therefrom as if made and applied on such date, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would be no greater than the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the Closing Date and (iv) both before and after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan
Commitments and the Loans to be made thereunder and the application of the proceeds therefrom as if made and applied on such date, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 (e) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to
ensure that (i) all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans) in the form of additional Term Loans, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata basis. The Borrower agrees that
Section 2.16 shall apply to any conversion of LIBO Rate Loans to ABR Loans reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing. If any Incremental Term Loan is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a LIBO Rate
Loan, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other
Term Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.07(a) required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans. 







 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 (a) 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 ABL Security Documents
and except for filings in connection with consummating the Acquisition and filings as may be required under the Exchange Act and applicable stock exchange rules in connection therewith, (b) will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to
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, 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 ABL Security Documents; except, in each case other than with respect to 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 and stockholders’ equity as of and for (i) the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, each reported on by Ernst & Young
LLP, independent public accountants, (ii) each fiscal quarter subsequent to December 31, 2005 ended on or prior to September 30, 2006, certified by its chief financial officer, and (iii) each of October and November 2006,
certified by its chief financial officer. 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. 
 (b) The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders its unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and related pro forma
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows and stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2006, prepared giving effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred, with respect to such balance sheet, on such date and, with respect
to such other financial statements, on the first day of the 12-month period ending on such date. Such pro forma financial statements have been prepared in good faith by the Borrower, 








 
based on the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma financial information contained in the Information Memorandum (which assumptions are believed by the
Borrower on the Closing Date to be reasonable), are based on the best information available to the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, accurately reflect all adjustments required to be made to give effect to the Transactions and present
fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and for such period, assuming that the Transactions had actually occurred at such
date or at the beginning of such period, as the case may be. 
 (c) No event, change or condition has occurred that has had,
or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, since December 31, 2005. 
 SECTION 3.05. Properties.
(a) As of the date of this Agreement, the Perfection Certificate sets forth the address of each parcel of real property (or each set of parcels that collectively comprise one operating property) that is owned or leased by each Loan Party,
together with a list of the lessors with respect to all such leased property. The Perfection Certificate also identifies the principal place of business and chief executive office of each Loan Party. The books and records of each Loan Party, and all
of their respective chattel paper and records of Accounts, are maintained exclusively at such locations. There is no location at which any Loan Party has any material Collateral (except for Collateral in transit in the ordinary course of business)
other than those locations identified on the Perfection Certificate or as otherwise identified in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent following the Closing Date. 
 (b) 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 (i) permitted by Section 6.02 or (ii) arising by operation of law (which Liens, in the case of this clause
(ii) do not materially interfere with the ability of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to carry on their business as now conducted). 
 (c) As of the Closing Date, no Responsible Officer of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary has received any written notice of, nor has any knowledge of, any pending or contemplated condemnation proceeding
affecting any of the Mortgaged Properties or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation. 
 (d) To the
Borrower’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is obligated under any right of first refusal, option or other contractual right to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property or any interest
therein. 
 (e) 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. 







 (f) 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. 
 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) no 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) no 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. 
 SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements: Licenses and Permits. (a) Each Loan Party is in compliance with
all Requirements of Law applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except in each case where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has obtained and holds in full
force and effect, all franchises, licenses, leases, permits, certificates, authorizations, qualifications, easements, rights of way and other rights and approvals which are necessary or advisable for the operation of its businesses as presently
conducted and as proposed to be conducted, except where the failure to have so obtained or hold or to be in force, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries is in violation of the terms of any such franchise, license, lease, permit, certificate, authorization, qualification, easement, right of way, right or approval, except where any such violation, individually or in the aggregate, would
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no
change in the status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION
3.08. Investment Company Status. No Loan Party is an “investment company” as defined in, or is required to be registered under, the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 SECTION 3.09. Taxes. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been
filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set
aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 







 SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred in the five (5) year period prior to the
date on which this representation is made or deemed made and is continuing or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under all Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plans, in the aggregate. 
 SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. (a) All written information (other than the Projections, the pro forma financial statements and estimates and
information of a general economic nature) concerning Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries, the Transactions and any other transactions contemplated hereby included in the Information Memorandum or otherwise prepared by or on behalf of the
foregoing or their representatives and made available to any Lenders or the Administrative Agent in connection with the Transactions on or before the date hereof (the “Information”), when taken as a whole, as of the date such
Information was furnished to the Lenders and as of the Closing Date, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact as of any such date or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not
materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made. 
 (b) The Projections, pro forma
financial statements and estimates and information of a general economic nature prepared by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its representatives and that have been made available to any Lenders or the Administrative Agent in connection with
the Transactions on or before the date hereof (the “Other Information”) (i) have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable as of the date thereof (it being understood that
actual results may vary materially from the Other Information), and (ii) as of the Closing Date, have not been modified in any material respect by the Borrower. 
 SECTION 3.12. Material Agreements. No Loan Party is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of its obligations contained in (i) any material agreement to
which it is a party or (ii) any agreement or instrument to which it is a party evidencing or governing Indebtedness, except, in any case, where any such default would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.13. Solvency. (a) Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the
Closing Date and immediately following the making of each Loan and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan (i) the fair value of the assets of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will
exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis will be greater than
the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis, on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and
matured; (iii) the Loan 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
insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is adequate and is in accordance with normal industry practice for similar companies engaged in the same business as the Borrower and its Subsidiaries located in similar
countries. 
 SECTION 3.15. Capitalization and Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.15 sets forth, in each case as of the Closing Date,
(a) a correct and complete list of the name and relationship to the Borrower of each and all of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, (b) a true and complete listing of each class of each of the Borrower’s authorized Equity Interests, of
which all of such issued shares are validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and owned beneficially and of record by the Persons identified on Schedule 3.15, and (c) the type of entity of the Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Subsidiaries owned by any Loan Party have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid
and non-assessable free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens created under the Loan Documents, the ABL Security Documents and non-consensual Permitted Liens). 
 SECTION 3.16. Security Interest in Collateral. The provisions of this Agreement and 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 paragraph (1) of Article IV 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 Liens, to
the extent any such Permitted Liens 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 ABL Security Documents. 
 SECTION 3.17. Labor Disputes. As of the Closing Date, except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Loan Party pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, (b) the hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Loan Parties and the
Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters and (c) all payments due from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, on account of wages
and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Loan Party or such Subsidiary to the extent required by GAAP. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to a right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which
Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is a party or by which Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is bound. 







 SECTION 3.18. Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) On the Closing Date, none of the Collateral is
Margin Stock. 
 (b) None of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important
activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock. 
 (c) No part of the
proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation
T, U or X. 
 SECTION 3.19. Transaction Documents. Holdings and the Borrower have delivered to the Administrative Agent a complete and
correct copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement (including all schedules, exhibits, amendments, supplements and modifications thereto). Neither Holdings, the Borrower nor any other Loan Party or, to the knowledge of Holdings, the Borrower or each Loan
Party, any other Person party thereto is in default in the performance or compliance with any material provision thereof. Except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, all
representations and warranties set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement made by a Loan Party were true and correct in all material respects at the time as of which such representations and warranties were made (or deemed made). 
 SECTION 3.20. Senior Debt. The Obligations constitute “Senior Debt” and “Designated Senior Debt” under and as defined in the
Senior Subordinated Note Documents. 
 SECTION 3.21. Sanctioned Persons. None of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary nor, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury
Department (“OFAC”); and the Borrower will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit or otherwise make available such proceeds to any person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any
person currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC.

Subsidiaries (other than compliance with Article 2 thereof or compliance with the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligations under Section 7.1 thereof to conduct their business and operations in the ordinary course) or consented to
in writing by Holdings (prior to the Closing Date) or (vii) any breach of the Stock Purchase Agreement by Holdings, except, in the case of clauses (i) through (v), to the extent such matters have an effect on the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries that is disproportionate to the effect on other similarly situated participants in their industry.

transactions contemplated hereby, Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries shall not have any outstanding Indebtedness or preferred stock other than (a) the Obligations, (b) Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Asset-Based Revolving

Date, in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement and none of the provisions of which shall have been waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the Closing Date in a manner adverse to the Lenders in any material respect
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Such of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Stock Purchase Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders shall be true and correct, but only to the
extent that Holdings would have the right to terminate its obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement as a result of a breach of such representation and warranty (determined without regard to whether notice is required to be delivered by
Holdings). 
 (q) Other Financing. The Borrower shall have (i) received gross cash proceeds of not less than
$225,000,000 from the issuance of the Senior Subordinated Notes and (ii) obtained the Senior Secured Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility. The terms and conditions of the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Secured Asset-Based Revolving
Credit Facility shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

Closing Date, and such notice shall be conclusive and binding. 
 SECTION 4.02. Each Credit Event. The obligation of any Issuing Bank
to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: 
 (a) The

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.

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

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 facility provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

 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 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 and the Lenders, 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. 
 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. 
 The Arrangers, the
joint bookrunners, the syndication agent and the documentation agent shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.

 (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications
(including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative
Agent and the applicable Lender. Each Agent or the Borrower (on behalf of the Loan Parties) may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it;
provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. All such notices and other communications (i) sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an
acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if not given during the normal business hours of the recipient,

 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 or any Lender or Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of
such Default at the time. 
 (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 or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender, (B) reduce or
forgive the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fee payable hereunder, or extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Maturity Date,
except as provided in Section 2.19(c), 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 2.1l(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 L/C Disbursement, or any date for
the payment of any interest or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, 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 2.1l(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 2.16(b) or
(c) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender, (E) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision
of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (F) release all
or substantially all of the value of the Loan Guaranties (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (G) except as provided in clauses (c) 








 
and (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 Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent or Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent may also
amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04. 
 (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 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 Issuing Banks or as otherwise provided 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) provided that such release would not result in a release of all or substantially all of the Collateral, 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. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those 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 Section 9.02, 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 affects one Class of Lenders without affecting the other Class of Lenders, the Borrower may replace such Non-Consenting Lender only with respect to the Class
of Loans or Commitments so affected); provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is a Lender or 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 Borrower or 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 2.13 and 2.15, 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 2.14 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender. Each Lender agrees that if it is replaced pursuant to this Section 9.02(e), it shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and Assumption;
provided that the failure of any Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 9.02(e) to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may
be made with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary to integrate any Incremental Term Loan Commitments on substantially the same basis as the Term Loans. 
 SECTION 9.03. Expenses: Indemnity: Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable 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 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 out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, Issuing Banks or the Lenders, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents and for one law
firm retained by the Lenders (unless the interests of any Lender or group of Lenders are sufficiently divergent, in which case one additional counsel for each such Lender or 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 out-of-pocket expenses
incurred during any workout, restructuring or related negotiations in respect of such Loans or 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 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 out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with: 
 (i) lien and title searches and title insurance; and 







 (ii) 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. 
 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.

 (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 Letter of Credit or the use of 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 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 non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or, to the extent such judgment finds such Indemnitee in breach of the Loan Documents and the
proceeding was initiated by Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries directly against such Indemnitee for breach of the Loan Documents. 
 (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 Issuing Bank 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 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. 







 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 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 or 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 has occurred and is continuing, any other Eligible Assignee and provided further that no consent of the Borrower shall be
required for an assignment during the primary syndication of the Loans to Persons identified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower; and 
 (B) the Administrative Agent. 
 (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, 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 or by Related Funds (as defined below)) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; 
 (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; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which
fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that 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, any Internal Revenue Service forms required under Section 2.15. 
 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 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 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, or principal amount of and interest on the Loans and L/C 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 may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by 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)(2) (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 promptly 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 2.04(a), 2.16(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 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 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 and the Intercreditor 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 or the Administrative Agent, 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 or 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 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 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 2.16(c) as though it were a Lender. 
 (ii) A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15 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 2.15 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 2.15(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (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 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 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 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15) and no SPC shall be entitled to any greater amount under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15 or any other
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive, (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; provided, however, that (i) in the case of the Borrower, such SPC’s Granting Lender is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations to the Borrower hereunder and (ii) each Lender designating
any SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPC during such period of forbearance. 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. 
 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 Letter 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 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 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 and the 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 Article IV, 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. 
 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) HIS
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 party hereto 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 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. 
 (c) Each party hereto 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. 
 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 required by any regulatory, governmental or administrative authority, (c) to the extent required
by law or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided, that unless specifically prohibited by applicable law, reasonable efforts shall be made to notify the Borrower of any such request, (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 prior written 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 by such Person 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 Sponsor 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. 
 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 Bank 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 Administrative Agent or its Affiliate
may be a lender under the Senior Secured Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility. 
 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. 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 TERM LOAN
AGENT AND ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE LENDERS UNDER THE SENIOR SECURED ASSET-BASED REVOLVING 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 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 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 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 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 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 payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made). 
 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.

 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 the Agents, the 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, Issuing Bank or Lender (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 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 a Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and its Loan Guaranty shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder if as a result thereof such
Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor. In connection with any such release, the Agents shall execute and deliver to any Subsidiary Guarantor, at such Subsidiary Guarantor’s expense, all documents that such
Subsidiary Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such 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.








 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective
authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
