 4 

 (b) Registrable Securities. For the purposes of this Agreement, Registrable Securities held by
any Designated Holder will cease to be Registrable Securities, when (i) a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective under the Securities Act by the Commission and such Registrable Securities have
been disposed of pursuant to such effective Registration Statement, (ii) (x) the entire amount of the Registrable Securities held by any Designated Holder may be sold in a single sale, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company and such Designated Holder, each in their reasonable judgment, without any limitation as to volume pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision then in effect) under the Securities Act and (y) such Designated Holder owns less than

 (c) Holders of Registrable Securities. A Person is
deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns of record Registrable Securities, or holds an option to purchase, or a security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, Registrable Securities whether or not
such acquisition or conversion has actually been effected. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company may act upon the basis of the
instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities. Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise of an option or upon conversion of another security shall be deemed outstanding for the
purposes of this Agreement. 
  
 3. Demand Registration.

  
 (a) Request for Demand Registration. The Francis
Stockholders as a group, acting through Francis, may make a written request to the Company to register (the party making such request, the “Initiating Holders”), and the Company shall register, under the Securities Act (other than
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor thereto) (a “Demand Registration”), the number of Registrable Securities stated in such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to
effect (x) more than two such Demand Registrations requested by the Francis Stockholders and (y) a Demand Registration if the Initiating Holders, together with the Designated Holders (other than the Initiating Holders) which have requested
to register securities in such registration pursuant to Section 3(b), propose to sell their Registrable Securities at an aggregate price (calculated based upon the Market Price of the Registrable Securities on the date of filing of the
Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities) to the public of less than $5,000,000. For purposes of the preceding sentence, two or more Registration Statements filed in response to one demand shall be counted as one Demand
Registration. If the Board of Directors, in its good faith judgment, determines that any registration of Registrable Securities should not be made or continued because it would materially interfere with any material financing, acquisition, corporate
reorganization or merger or other material transaction involving the Company (a “Valid Business Reason”), the 
  

 5 

 Company may (x) postpone filing a Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration until such Valid Business
Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than forty-five (45) days, and (y) in case a Registration Statement has been filed relating to a Demand Registration, the Company, upon the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors,
may cause such Registration Statement to be withdrawn and its effectiveness terminated or may postpone amending or supplementing such Registration Statement (in which case, if the Valid Business Reason no longer exists or if more forty-five
(45) days have passed since such withdrawal or postponement, the Initiating Holders may request a new Demand Registration). The Company shall give written notice of its determination to postpone or withdraw a Registration Statement and of the
fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement or withdrawal no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may not postpone or withdraw a
filing under this Section 3(a) more than once in any eighteen (18) month period. Each request for a Demand Registration by the Initiating Holders shall state the amount of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended
method of disposition thereof. Any Demand Registration requested by the Francis Stockholders may be only in the form of a firm commitment underwritten offering. 
  

(b) Incidental or “Piggy-Back” Rights with Respect to a Demand Registration. Each of the Designated Holders (other than Initiating
Holders which have requested a registration under Section 3(a)) may offer its or his Registrable Securities under any Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 3. Within five (5) days after the receipt of a request for a
Demand Registration from an Initiating Holder, the Company shall (i) give written notice thereof to all of the Designated Holders (other than Initiating Holders which have requested a registration under Section 3(a)) and (ii) subject
to Section 3(e), include in such registration all of the Registrable Securities held by such Designated Holders from whom the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein within ten (10) days of the receipt by such
Designated Holders of such written notice referred to in clause (i) above. Each such request by such Designated Holder shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered. The failure of any Designated Holder to
respond within such 10-day period referred to in clause (ii) above shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Designated Holder’s rights under this Section 3(b) with respect to such Demand Registration. Any Designated Holder may waive its
rights under this Section 3(b) prior to the expiration of such 10-day period by giving written notice to the Company, with a copy to the Initiating Holders. If a Designated Holder sends the Company a written request for inclusion of part or all
of such Designated Holder’s Registrable Securities in a registration, such Designated Holder shall not be entitled to withdraw or revoke such request without the prior written consent of the Company in its sole discretion unless, (i) as a
result of facts or circumstances arising after the date on which such request was made relating to the Company or to market conditions, such Designated Holder reasonably determines that participation in such registration would have a material
adverse effect on such Designated Holder or (ii) if the Closing Price declines by more than forty percent (40%) from the date the Initiating Holders requested such Demand Registration. For avoidance of doubt, even though any Designated
Holder (other than Initiating Holders which have requested a registration 
  

 6 

 under Section 3(a)) may have previously registered any or a portion of its Registrable Securities on a Registration
Statement on Form S-3, such Designated Holder may request all or a portion of its Registrable Securities be included in a Demand Registration in accordance with this Section 3(b) whether through registering such Registrable Securities,
preparing a joint prospectus issued under Rule 429 promulgated under the Securities Act or otherwise. 
  
 (c) Effective Demand Registration. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Demand Registration to become and
remain effective not later than sixty (60) days after it receives a request under Section 3(a) hereof. A registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration until it has become effective and remains continuously effective for the
lesser of (i) the period during which all Registrable Securities registered in the Demand Registration are sold or (ii) 120 days; provided, however, that a registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration if
(x) after such Demand Registration has become effective, such registration or the related offer, sale or distribution of Registrable Securities thereunder is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the
Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason not attributable to the Initiating Holders and such interference is not thereafter eliminated or (y) the conditions specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in
connection with such Demand Registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure by the Initiating Holder. 
  
 (d) Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with a Demand Registration, whether or not such Demand Registration
becomes effective. 
  
 (e) Underwriting Procedures. If the
Company or the Initiating Holders so elect, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Demand Registration to be in the form of a firm commitment underwritten offering and the managing underwriter or underwriters
selected for such offering shall be the Approved Underwriter selected in accordance with Section 3(f). In connection with any Demand Registration under this Section 3 involving an underwritten offering, none of the Registrable Securities
held by any Designated Holder making a request for inclusion of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof shall be included in such underwritten offering unless such Designated Holder accepts the terms of the offering as
agreed upon by the Company, the Initiating Holders and the Approved Underwriter, and then only in such quantity as set forth below. If the Approved Underwriter advises the Company that the aggregate amount of such Registrable Securities requested to
be included in such offering is sufficiently large to have a material adverse effect on the success of such offering, then the Company shall include in such registration, to the extent of the amount that the Approved Underwriter believes may be sold
without causing such material adverse effect, first, such number of Registrable Securities of the Initiating Holders which Registrable Securities shall be allocated pro rata among such Initiating Holders based on the number of Registrable
Securities held by each such Initiating Holder, as the case may be, second, such number of Registrable Securities of 
  

 7 

 any Designated Holder participating in the offering pursuant to the terms of Section 3(b), which Registrable
Securities shall be allocated pro rata among each such Designated Holder, third, any other securities of the Company requested by holders thereof to be included in such registration, which such securities shall be allocated pro rata among
such stockholders, based on the number of the Company’s securities held by each such stockholder, and fourth, securities offered by the Company for its own account. 
  
 (f) Selection of Underwriters. If any Demand Registration or S-3 Registration, as the case may be, of Registrable
Securities is in the form of an underwritten offering, the Company shall select and obtain an investment banking firm of national reputation to act as the managing underwriter of the offering (the “Approved Underwriter”);
provided, however, that the Approved Underwriter shall, in any case, also be approved by the Initiating Holders or S-3 Initiating Holders, as the case may be, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. 
  
 4. Incidental or “Piggy-Back” Registration. 
  
 (a) Request for Incidental Registration. If the Company proposes to
file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company for its own account (other than a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor thereto) or for the account of any stockholder
of the Company other than the Designated Holders, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to each of the Designated Holders at least twenty (20) days before the anticipated filing date, and such notice shall describe
the proposed registration and distribution and offer such Designated Holders the opportunity to register the number of Registrable Securities as each such Designated Holder may request (an “Incidental Registration”). The Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (within twenty (20) days of the notice provided for in the preceding sentence) to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters in the case of a proposed underwritten offering (the “Company
Underwriter”) to permit each of the Designated Holders who have requested in writing to participate in the Incidental Registration to include its or his Registrable Securities in such offering on the same terms and conditions as the
securities of the Company or the account of such other stockholder, as the case may be, included therein. In connection with any Incidental Registration under this Section 4(a) involving an underwritten offering, the Company shall not be
required to include any Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering unless the Designated Holders thereof accept the terms of the underwritten offering as agreed upon between the Company, such other stockholders, if any, and the Company
Underwriter, and then only in such quantity as set forth below. If the Company Underwriter determines that the registration of all or part of the securities that have been requested to be included would materially adversely affect the success of
such offering, then the Company shall be required to include in such Incidental Registration, to the extent of the amount that the Company Underwriter believes may be sold without causing such material adverse effect, first, all of the
securities to be offered for the account of the Company, second, any Registrable Securities requested by the Francis Stockholders, which Registrable Securities shall be allocated pro rata among the Francis Stockholders, based on the number of
Registrable 
  

 8 

 Securities held by each such Francis Stockholder and third, any other securities of the Company requested by
stockholders to be included in such offering (including the Designated Holders other than the Francis Stockholders), which such securities shall be allocated pro rata among the stockholders participating in the offering based on the number of the
Company’s securities held by each such stockholder. 
  
 (b)
Expenses. The Company shall bear all Registration Expenses in connection with any Incidental Registration pursuant to this Section 4, whether or not such Incidental Registration becomes effective. 
  
 5. Form S-3 Registration. 
  
 (a) Request for a Form S-3 Registration. The Company will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to file all required reports under the Exchange Act in order to qualify for the use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act; provided, that this covenant shall not require the Company to remain a reporting company under
the Exchange Act if the Company shall have determined to enter into a merger, acquisition, going private transaction or similar transaction. Upon the Company becoming eligible for use of Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) under the Securities
Act in connection with a public offering of its securities, in the event that the Company shall receive from one or more of the Francis Stockholders, acting through Francis (collectively, the “S-3 Initiating Holders”), a written
request that the Company register, under the Securities Act on Form S-3 (or any successor form then in effect) (an “S-3 Registration”), all or a portion of the Registrable Securities owned by such S-3 Initiating Holders, the Company
shall give written notice of such request to all of the Designated Holders (other than S-3 Initiating Holders which have requested an S-3 Registration under this Section 5(a)) at least ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of
such Form S-3, and such notice shall describe the proposed registration and offer such Designated Holders the opportunity to register the number of Registrable Securities as each such Designated Holder may request in writing to the Company, given
within ten (10) days after their receipt from the Company of the written notice of such registration. With respect to each S-3 Registration, the Company shall, subject to Section 5(b), (i) include in such offering the Registrable
Securities of the S-3 Initiating Holders and the Designated Holders (who have requested in writing to participate in such registration on the same terms and conditions as the Registrable Securities of the S-3 Initiating Holders included therein) and
(ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration pursuant to this Section 5(a) to become and remain effective as soon as practicable. 
  
 (b) Form S-3 Underwriting Procedures. If the S-3 Initiating Holders so elect, the Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such S-3 Registration pursuant to this Section 5 to be in the form of a firm commitment underwritten offering and the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering shall be the Approved Underwriter
selected in accordance with Section 3(f). In connection with any S-3 Registration under Section 5(a) involving an underwritten offering, the Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such 
  

 9 

 underwritten offering unless the Designated Holders thereof accept the terms of the underwritten offering as agreed upon
between the Company, the Approved Underwriter and the S-3 Initiating Holders, and then only in such quantity as set forth below. If the Approved Underwriter believes that the registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities which the S-3
Initiating Holders and the other Designated Holders have requested to be included would materially adversely affect the success of such public offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the underwritten offering, to the extent of the
amount that the Approved Underwriter believes may be sold without causing such material adverse effect, first, such number of Registrable Securities of the S-3 Initiating Holders, which such Registrable Securities shall be allocated pro rata
among such S-3 Initiating Holders, based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each such S-3 Initiating Holder, as the case may be, second, such number of Registrable Securities of any Designated Holder participating in the offering
pursuant to the terms of Section 5(a) hereof, which such Registrable Securities shall be allocated pro rata among such Designated Holders, based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each such Designated Holder, third, any
other securities of the Company requested by holders thereof to be included in such registration, which such securities shall be allocated pro rata among such stockholders, based on the number of the Company’s securities held by each such
stockholder, and fourth, securities offered by the Company for its own account. 
  
 (c) Limitations on Form S-3 Registrations. If the Board of Directors has a Valid Business Reason, the Company may (x) postpone filing a Registration Statement relating to a S-3 Registration until such
Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than forty-five (45) days following the request and (y) in case a Registration Statement has been filed relating to a S-3 Registration, the Company, upon the approval of a
majority of the Board of Directors, may cause such Registration Statement to be withdrawn and its effectiveness terminated or may postpone amending or supplementing such Registration Statement (in which case, if the Valid Business Reason no longer
exists or if more than forty-five (45) days have passed since such withdrawal or postponement, the S-3 Initiating Holder may request the prompt amendment or supplement of such Registration Statement or a new S-3 Registration). The Company shall
give written notice of its determination to postpone or withdraw a Registration Statement and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement or withdrawal no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may not postpone or withdraw a filing, under either this Section or Section 3(a), due to a Valid Business Reason more than once in any twelve (12) month period. In

Initiating Holders which have requested an S-3 Registration under Section 5(a)) registering Registrable Securities in such registration, propose to sell their Registrable Securities at an aggregate price (calculated based upon the Market Price
of the Registrable Securities on the date of filing of the Form S-3 with respect to such Registrable Securities) to the public of less than $5,000,000.

 (a) Restrictions on Public Sale by
Designated Holders. Any Designated Holder selling Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement under Sections 3, 4 or 5 of this Agreement, to the extent (i) requested (A) by the Company, the Initiating Holders or the S-3
Initiating Holders, as the case may be, in the case of a non-underwritten public offering and (B) by the Approved Underwriter or the Company Underwriter, as the case may be, in the case of an underwritten public offering and (ii) all of

prior to the expected effective date (as determined by the Company, which shall notify the Designated Holders of such date in writing) of such Registration Statement and ending on the ninetieth (90th) day following the actual effective date of such Registration Statement, or such shorter period, if any, mutually agreed upon by such Designated Holder
and the requesting party (except as part of such registration). No Designated Holder of Registrable Securities subject to the foregoing restrictions shall be released from any obligation under any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into
pursuant to this Section 6(a) unless all other Designated Holders of Registrable Securities subject to the same obligation are also released. Further, to the extent that any Designated Holder is subject to any trading restriction policy, or
other similar policy, adopted by the Board of Directors, such Designated Holder shall comply with the applicable restrictions of such policy.

Designated Holders of 
  

 11 

 Registrable Securities are participating and ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable
Securities registered on such Registration Statement are sold and (ii) 90 days after the actual effective date of such Registration Statement (except as part of such registration). 
  
 7. Registration Procedures. 
  
 (a) Obligations of the Company. Whenever registration
of Registrable Securities has been requested pursuant to Section 3, Section 4 or Section 5 of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable
Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof as quickly as reasonably practicable, and in connection with any such request, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible: 
  
 (i) prepare and file with the Commission (as promptly as practicable, but
in any event not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of a request to file a Registration Statement with respect to Registrable Securities) a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the
Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and cause such Registration Statement to become effective; provided,
however, that (x) before filing a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall provide counsel selected by the Designated Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities being
registered in such registration (“Holders’ Counsel”) and any other Inspector (as hereinafter defined) with an opportunity to review and comment on such Registration Statement and each prospectus included therein (and each
amendment or supplement thereto) to be filed with the Commission, subject to such documents being under the Company’s control, and (y) the Company shall notify the Holders’ Counsel and each seller of Registrable Securities of any stop
order issued or threatened by the Commission and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered; 
  
 (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith
as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the lesser of (x) 120 days (except in the case of a registration filed pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act or any successor rule or regulation) and
(y) such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold, and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered
by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement; 
  
 (iii) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such number of copies of such Registration Statement, each amendment
and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto), and the prospectus included in such 
  

 12 

 Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and any prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the
Securities Act as each such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller; 
  
 (iv) register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any seller of
Registrable Securities may reasonably request, and to continue such qualification in effect in such jurisdiction for as long as permissible pursuant to the laws of such jurisdiction, or for as long as any such seller requests or until all of
such Registrable Securities are sold, whichever is shortest, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable any such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable
Securities owned by such seller; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (x) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
Section 7(a)(iv), (y) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (z) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 
  

(v) notify each seller of Registrable Securities at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and the Company shall promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus and furnish to each seller of
Registrable Securities a reasonable number of copies of such supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, after delivery to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 
  
 (vi) enter into and perform customary agreements (including an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the Approved Underwriter or Company Underwriter, if any, selected as provided in Section 3, Section 4 or Section 5, as the case may be) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order
to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including causing its officers to participate in “road shows” and other information meetings organized by the Approved Underwriter or Company Underwriter;

  
 (vii) make available at reasonable times for inspection by
any seller of Registrable Securities, any managing underwriter participating in any disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, Holders’ Counsel and any attorney or accountant retained by any such seller or
any managing underwriter (each, an “Inspector” and collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
“Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s and its 
  

 13 

 subsidiaries’ officers, directors and employees, and the independent public accountants of the Company, to supply
all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement. Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be
disclosed by the Inspectors (and the Inspectors shall confirm their agreement in writing in advance to the Company if the Company shall so request) unless (x) the disclosure of such Records is necessary, in the Company’s judgment, to avoid
or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement, (y) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom or
(z) the information in such Records was known to the Inspectors on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Company or has been made generally available to the public. Each seller of Registrable Securities agrees that it
shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the
Records deemed confidential; 
  
 (viii) if such sale is pursuant
to an underwritten offering, obtain a “cold comfort” letters dated the effective date of the Registration Statement and the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement from the Company’s independent public accountants in
customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing underwriter reasonably requests; 
  
 (ix) furnish, at the request of any seller of Registrable Securities on the date such securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to
such registration or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date the Registration Statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the
purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the seller making such request, covering such legal matters with respect to the registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the underwriters, if any,
and such seller may reasonably request and are customarily included in such opinions; 
  
 (x) comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than fifteen (15) months after the effective
date of the Registration Statement, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement, in a manner which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; 
  
 (xi) cause all such
Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed, provided that the applicable listing requirements are satisfied; 
  
 (xii) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each
underwriter participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the NASD; 
  

 14 

 (xiii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be reasonably necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the seller or sellers of Registrable
Securities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 
  
 (xiv) keep each seller of Registrable Securities advised as to all material developments of any registration under Sections 3, 4 or 5 hereunder; 
  
 (xv) provide officers’ certificates and other customary closing documents; and 
  
 (xvi) take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration
of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby and reasonably cooperate with the holders of such Registrable Securities to facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant thereto. 
  
 (b) Seller Information. The Company may require each seller of
Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish, and such seller shall furnish, to the Company such information required to be included in such Registration Statement by applicable securities laws or otherwise
necessary or desirable in connection with the disposition of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing. If any seller of Registrable Securities fails to provide such information required to be
included in such Registration Statement by applicable securities laws or otherwise necessary or desirable in connection with the disposition of such Registrable Securities in a timely manner after written request therefor, the Company may exclude
such seller’s Registrable Securities from a registration under Sections 3, 4 or 5 hereof. 
  
 (c) Notice to Discontinue. Each Designated Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of
the kind described in Section 7(a)(v), such Designated Holder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Designated
Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 7(a)(v) and, if so directed by the Company, such Designated Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies,
other than permanent file copies then in such Designated Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities which is current at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give any such notice, the Company
shall extend the period during which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the period referred to in Section 7(a)(ii)) by the number of days during the period from
and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 7(a)(v) to and 
  

 15 

 including the date when sellers of such Registrable Securities under such Registration Statement shall have received the
copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by and meeting the requirements of Section 7(a)(v). 
  
 (d) Registration Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses arising from or incident to its performance of, or compliance with, this
Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) Commission, stock exchange and NASD registration and filing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses incurred in complying with securities or “blue sky” laws (including reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel to any underwriter incurred in connection with “blue sky” qualifications of the Registrable Securities as may be set forth in any underwriting agreement), (iii) all printing, messenger and delivery
expenses and (iv) the fees, charges and expenses of counsel to the Company and of its independent public accountants and any other accounting fees, charges and expenses incurred by the Company (including, without limitation, any
expenses arising from any “cold comfort” letters or any special audits incident to or required by any registration or qualification), regardless of whether such Registration Statement is declared effective. All of the expenses described in
the preceding sentence of this Section 7(d) are referred to herein as “Registration Expenses.” The Designated Holders of Registrable Securities sold pursuant to a Registration Statement shall bear the expense of any
broker’s commission or underwriter’s discount or commission relating to registration and sale of such Designated Holders’ Registrable Securities and shall bear the fees and expenses of their own counsel. 
  
  
 8. Indemnification; Contribution. 
  
 (a)
Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Designated Holder, its partners, directors, officers, affiliates, members, employees and each Person who controls (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act) such Designated Holder from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable costs and expenses of legal counsel or otherwise arising from any
investigation, action or proceeding, whether commenced or threatened, in respect to any of the foregoing) (each, a “Liability” and collectively, “Liabilities”), arising out of or based upon any untrue, or allegedly
untrue, statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or notification or offering circular (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements
thereto) or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading under the circumstances such statements were made,
except insofar as such Liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission contained in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or final prospectus in reliance and in
conformity with information concerning such Designated Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Designated Holder expressly for use therein, including, without limitation, the information furnished to the Company pursuant to
Section 8(b). The Company shall also provide customary indemnities to any underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their 
  

 16 

 officers, directors and employees and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Designated Holders of Registrable Securities. 
  
 (b) Indemnification by Designated Holders. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Designated Holder is participating pursuant to
Section 3, Section 4 or Section 5 hereof, each such Designated Holder shall promptly furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Designated Holder as the Company may reasonably request or as may be required
by law for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Designated Holder not materially misleading or
necessary to cause such Registration Statement not to omit a material fact with respect to such Designated Holder necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. Each Designated Holder agrees severally to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, the other Designated Holders who participate in the Registration Statement, any underwriter retained by the Company and each Person who controls the Company, the other Designated Holders who participate in the Registration
Statement or such underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Designated Holders (including indemnification of their respective partners, directors,
officers, members and employees), but only to the extent that Liabilities arise out of or are based upon a statement or alleged statement or an omission or alleged omission that was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information with
respect to such Designated Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Designated Holder expressly for use in such Registration Statement or prospectus, including, without limitation, the information furnished to the Company pursuant to this
Section 8(b); provided, however, that the total amount to be indemnified by such Designated Holder pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Designated Holder in the offering to which
the Registration Statement or prospectus relates. 
  
  
 (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder (the “Indemnified
Party”) agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or
investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which the Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall
not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder (except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced or otherwise forfeits substantive rights or defenses by reason of such
failure). If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the Indemnifying Party as above provided, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party
similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate 
  

 17 

 counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be
paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party or (iii) the
named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and such parties have been advised by such counsel that either (x) representation of such Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct or (y) there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those
available to the Indemnifying Party. In any of such cases, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not
be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties and all such expenses shall be reimbursed as incurred. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable
for any settlement entered into without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the consent of such Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding
in respect of which such Indemnified Party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability for claims that are the
subject matter of such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested the Indemnifying Party to reimburse the Indemnified Party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this
Section 8, the Indemnifying Party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than thirty (30) business
days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the aforesaid request and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Party in accordance with such request or contested the reasonableness of such fees and expenses
prior to the date of such settlement. 
  
 (d)
Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any Liabilities referred
to herein, then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified
Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates
to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a

  

 18 

 result of the Liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in
Sections 8(a), 8(b) and 8(c), any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding; provided that the total amount to be contributed by any Designated Holder shall be
limited to the net proceeds received by such Designated Holder in the offering. 
  
 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not
take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
  
 9. Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) file any reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and (b) take such further action as each Designated Holder
may reasonably request (including providing any information necessary to comply with Rule 144 under the Securities Act), all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Designated Holder to sell Registrable Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or Regulation S under the Securities Act or
(ii) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the Commission. The Company shall, upon the request of any Designated Holder, deliver to such Designated Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such
requirements. 
  
 10. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) Recapitalizations, Exchanges, etc. The provisions of this
Agreement shall apply to the full extent set forth herein with respect to (i) the shares of Common Stock, (ii) any and all shares of voting common stock of the Company into which the shares of Common Stock are converted, exchanged or
substituted in any recapitalization or other capital reorganization by the Company and (iii) any and all equity securities of the Company or any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise)
which may be issued in respect of, in conversion of, in exchange for or in substitution of, the shares of Common Stock and shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like
occurring after the date hereof. The Company shall cause any successor or assign (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to enter into a new registration rights agreement with the Designated Holders on terms substantially the
same as this Agreement as a condition of any such transaction. 
  
 (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company hereby represents and warrants that it has not previously entered into any agreement which currently remains in effect granting registration rights to any Person with respect to any
securities of the Company except as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Company 
  

 19 

 shall not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
Designated Holders in this Agreement or grant any additional registration rights to any Person or with respect to any securities that are not Registrable Securities that provides for the priority in registration of such securities over the
Registrable Securities held by the Designated Holders or which rights are otherwise inconsistent with the rights granted in this Agreement. 
  
 (c) Remedies. The Designated Holders, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, shall be
entitled to specific performance of their rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby
agrees to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
  
 (d) Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless consented to in writing by the Company, Designated Holders holding at least 50% of the Registrable Securities and, for so long as any Francis Stockholder shall
hold Registrable Securities, Designated Holders holding at least 50% of the shares held by the Francis Stockholders.

 (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit;
Auto-Extension of Letters of Credit. 
  
 (i)
Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed
and signed by an Executive Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender may agree in a particular instance in their 
  

 37 

 sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the
case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit
(which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the Issuing Lender may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of
any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which
shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Issuing Lender may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the Issuing Lender and the Administrative
Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any LOC Documents, as the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. 
  
 (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit
Application, the Issuing Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the Issuing Lender will
provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Lender has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment
of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 5 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a
Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon
the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Lender a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such
Lender’s Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 
  
 (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Lender to
prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice
Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Lender for
any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have 
  

 38 

 authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at
any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Issuing Lender has determined that it would not be
permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.2(a) or otherwise),
or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to
permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Issuing Lender
not to permit such extension. 
  
 (iv) If the
Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount
thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Lender to permit
such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Lender to reinstate all or a portion of
the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the Issuing Lender to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated
amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the Issuing Lender shall not permit such reinstatement if
it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such
reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 is not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an LOC Credit Extension for
purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing the Issuing Lender not to permit such reinstatement. 
  
 (v) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or
to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
  
 (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 
  
 (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the
Issuing Lender in such Alternative Currency, 
  

 39 

 unless (A) the Issuing Lender (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will
require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified the Issuing Lender promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will
reimburse the Issuing Lender in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the
amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 12:00 Noon on the date of any payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by
the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the
amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the Issuing Lender by such time, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing
(expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) and the amount of the unreimbursed drawing shall become the unreimbursed amount (the “Unreimbursed
Amount”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the Unreimbursed Amount and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount. Any notice given by
the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
  
 (ii) Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, in Dollars, at the office of the Administrative Agent
specified in Schedule 2.1(a) for Dollar-denominated payments, in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 P.M. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative
Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit
the funds so received to the Issuing Lender. 
  
 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Base Rate Loan because the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
incurred from the Issuing Lender an LOC Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which LOC Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In
such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such LOC Borrowing and shall
constitute a Participation Interest from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.2. 
  

 40 

 (iv) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or Participation Interest
pursuant to this Section 2.2 to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the
Issuing Lender. 
  
 (v) Each Revolving
Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or Participation Interests to reimburse the Issuing Lender for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.2(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;
(B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make
Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing). No such making of a Participation Interest shall relieve or
otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
  
 (vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2(c) by the time specified in Section 2.2(c)(ii), the
Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is
immediately available to the Issuing Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Issuing Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the
Issuing Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 
  
 (i) At any time after the Issuing Lender has made a payment
under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Participation Interest in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.2(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the
Issuing Lender any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative
Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s Participation Interest was
outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 
  

 41 

 (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing
Lender pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.2 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Issuing Lender in its discretion), each
Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination
of this Agreement. 
  
 (e) Obligations Absolute. The
obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each LOC Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 
  
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Credit Document; 
  
 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time
against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 
  
 (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient (unless the Issuing Lender has actual knowledge of such forgery, fraud or insufficiency) in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; 
  
 (iv) any payment by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the
Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any
transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code; 
  

 42 

 (v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the
relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Credit Party or in the relevant currency markets generally; or 
  
 (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary. 
  
 The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of
noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the Issuing Lender. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Issuing Lender and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
  
 (f)
Role of Issuing Lender. Each Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates
and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Lender, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request
or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of
any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or LOC Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided,
however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing
Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Lender shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of
Section 2.2(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the Issuing Lender, and the Issuing Lender may be liable to the Borrower, to the
extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Issuing
Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Issuing Lender shall
not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to
be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
  

 43 

 (g) Cash Collateral. (i) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (A) if the
Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an LOC Borrowing, or (B) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any LOC Obligation for any reason remains
outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all LOC Obligations. 
  
 (ii) In addition, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the outstanding amount of all LOC Obligations at such
time exceeds 105% of the LOC Committed Amount then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations in an amount equal to the amount by which the outstanding amount of
all LOC Obligations exceeds the LOC Committed Amount. 
  
 (iii) Sections 3.3 and 9.2(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.2, Section 3.3 and Section 9.2(c),
“Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Revolving Lenders, as collateral for the LOC Obligations, cash or deposit account balances
pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower
hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein constituting Cash Collateral and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash
Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. 
  
 (h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued
(including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of ISP98 (International Standby Practice) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each trade/commercial Letter of Credit. 
  
 (i) Conflict with LOC Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any LOC
Document, the terms hereof shall control. 
  
 (j) Letters of
Credit Issued for Credit Parties other than the Borrower. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Credit Party other than the Borrower, the Borrower
shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any such Credit Party inures to the benefit
of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Credit Party. 
  

 44 

 2.3 Swingline Loan Subfacility of the Revolver. 
  
 (a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof
and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, the Swingline Lender, in its individual capacity, agrees to make certain revolving credit loans requested by the Borrower in Dollars to the Borrower (each a “Swingline
Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) from time to time from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date for the purposes hereinafter set forth; provided, however, (i) the aggregate principal
amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS ($15,000,000) (the “Swingline Committed Amount”), and (ii) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving
Loans plus LOC Obligations plus Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. Swingline Loans hereunder may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof. 
  
 (b) Swingline Loan Advances. 
  
 (i) Notices; Disbursement. Whenever the Borrower
desires a Swingline Loan advance hereunder it shall give written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Swingline Lender not later than 3:00 P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Business Day of the requested
Swingline Loan advance. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) that a Swingline Loan advance is requested, (B) the date of the requested Swingline Loan advance (which shall be a Business Day) and (C) the principal
amount of the Swingline Loan advance requested. Each Swingline Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan and shall have such maturity date as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower shall agree upon receipt by the Swingline Lender of any such notice from
the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall initiate the transfer of funds representing the Swingline Loan advance to the Borrower by 3:00 P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Business Day of the requested borrowing. 
  
 (ii) Minimum Amounts. Each Swingline Loan advance
shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 (or the remaining amount of the Swingline Committed Amount, if less). 
  
 (iii) Repayment of Swingline Loans. The principal amount of all Swingline Loans shall be due and payable on the earlier of
(A) the maturity date agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower with respect to such Loan (which maturity date shall not be a date more than ten (10) Business Days from the date of advance thereof) or (B) the Maturity Date.
The Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, demand repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of a Revolving Loan advance, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to
have requested a Revolving Loan advance comprised solely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Swingline Loans; provided, however, that any such demand shall be deemed to have been given one Business Day prior to the Maturity Date
and on the date of the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 9.1 and upon acceleration of the indebtedness hereunder and the exercise of remedies in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.2. Each
Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make its pro rata share of each such Revolving Loan in the amount, in the manner and on the date specified in the preceding sentence notwithstanding (I) the amount of such borrowing may not
comply with the minimum amount for advances of Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, 
  

 45 

 (II) whether any conditions specified in Section 5.2 are then satisfied,
(III) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (IV) failure of any such request or deemed request for Revolving Loan to be made by the time otherwise required hereunder, (V) whether the date of such borrowing is a date on
which Revolving Loans are otherwise permitted to be made hereunder or (VI) any termination of the Commitments relating thereto immediately prior to or contemporaneously with such borrowing. In the event that any Revolving Loan cannot for any
reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower or any other Credit Party), then each Revolving Lender hereby
agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date such borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such
Participation Interests in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Revolving Lender to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon its Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount (determined before
giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 3.4), provided that (A) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the
respective Participation Interest is purchased and (B) at the time any purchase of Participation Interests pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Revolving Lender shall be required to pay to the Swingline Lender, to the
extent not paid to the Swingline Lender by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of subsection (c)(ii) below, interest on the principal amount of Participation Interests purchased for each day from and including the day upon which such borrowing
would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such Participation Interests, at the rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate. 
  
 (c) Interest on Swingline Loans. 
  
 (i) Rate of Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1, each Swingline Loan shall bear interest at a per annum
rate equal to the Base Rate. 
  
 (ii) Payment
of Interest. Interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date (or at such other times as may be specified herein), unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.2. 
  
 (d) Swingline Note. Upon the request of the Swingline Lender, the
Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note of the Borrower to the Swingline Lender in an original principal amount equal to the Swingline Committed Amount substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3(d).

  
 2.4 Tranche B Loan. 
  
 (a) Tranche B Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein each Tranche B Lender severally agrees to make available to the Borrower on the Closing Date such Tranche B Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a term loan in Dollars
(the “Tranche B Loan”) in the aggregate principal 
  

 46 

 amount of TWO HUNDRED FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($205,000,000) (the “Tranche B Loan Committed
Amount”). The Tranche B Loan may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request; provided, however, that no more than 6 Eurodollar Loans which are Tranche B Loans shall be
outstanding hereunder at any time (it being understood that, for purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans, even if they begin on the same date, although borrowings, extensions
and conversions may, in accordance with the provisions hereof, be combined at the end of existing Interest Periods to constitute a new Eurodollar Loan with a single Interest Period). Amounts prepaid or repaid on the Tranche B Loan may not be
reborrowed. 
  
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. The Borrower
shall submit an appropriate Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Tranche B Loan not later than 12:00 Noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Closing Date. Such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable. The full
amount of the Tranche B Loan shall be disbursed on the Closing Date as a Base Rate Loan. Each Tranche B Lender shall make its Commitment Percentage of the Tranche B Loan available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the
office of the Administrative Agent specified in Schedule 2.1(a), or at such other office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing, by 2:00 P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Closing Date in Dollars and in funds
immediately available to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall, if requested by the Borrower, make the Tranche B Loan available to Borrower as provided above prior to the Administrative
Agent’s receipt of corresponding amounts from the Tranche B Lenders. 
  
 (c) Minimum Amounts. Each Eurodollar Loan or Base Rate Loan that is part of the Tranche B Loan shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $500,000 and integral multiples of $25,000 (or the
then remaining principal balance of the Tranche B Loan, if less). 
  

 47 

 (d) Repayment of Tranche B Loan. The principal amount of the Tranche B Loan shall be repaid in
twenty-two (22) consecutive quarterly installments as follows, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.2:

 (e) Interest.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1, the Tranche B Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to: 
  
 (i) Base Rate Loans. During such periods as the Tranche B Loan shall be comprised in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans, such Base
Rate Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus 1.00%; provided, however, to the extent that the Leverage
Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter or fiscal year, as the case may be, is less than 3.00 to 1.0, such Base Rate Loans shall at all times thereafter bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus 0.75% (such rate to be adjusted on the date five Business Days after the date by which the Credit Parties provide the Required Financial Information applicable to such fiscal quarter or fiscal
year). 
  
 (ii) Eurodollar Loans. During
such periods as the Tranche B Loan shall be comprised in whole or in part of Eurodollar Loans, such Eurodollar Loans shall bear 
  

 48 

 interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal
to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus 2.00%; provided, however, to the extent that the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter or fiscal year, as the case may be, is
less than 3.00 to 1.0, such Eurodollar Loans shall at all times thereafter bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period
plus 1.75% (such rate to be adjusted on the date five Business Days after the date by which the Credit Parties provide the Required Financial Information applicable to such fiscal quarter or fiscal year). 
  
 Interest on the Tranche B Loan shall be payable in arrears on each applicable
Interest Payment Date (or at such other times as may be specified herein). 
  
 (f) Tranche B Notes. Upon the request of any Tranche B Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Tranche B Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a
promissory note, substantially the form of Exhibit 2.4(f), which shall evidence such Tranche B Lender’s Tranche B Loans in addition to such accounts or records. 
  
 SECTION 3 
  
 OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO CREDIT FACILITY 
  
 3.1 Default Rate. 
  
 Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of a default in the payment of any amount hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Credit
Documents, such overdue amount shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Default Rate. 
  
 3.2 Extension and Conversion. 
  
 The Borrower shall have the option, on any Business Day, to extend existing Loans into a subsequent permissible Interest Period or to convert Loans into Loans of another interest rate type; provided,
however, that (i) except as provided in Section 3.8, Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans or extended as Eurodollar Loans for new Interest Periods only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, (ii) without the consent of the Requisite Lenders, Eurodollar Loans may be extended, and Base Rate Loans may be converted into Eurodollar Loans, only to the extent no Default or Event of Default shall exist and be continuing on the
date of extension or conversion, (iii) Loans extended as, or converted into, Eurodollar Loans shall be subject to the terms of the definition of “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1 and shall be in such
minimum amounts as provided in, with respect to Revolving Loans, Section 2.1(b)(ii) or with respect to the Tranche B Loans, Section 2.4(c), (iv) no more than 6 Eurodollar Loans which are Revolving Loans and no more than
6 Eurodollar Loans which are Tranche B Loans shall be outstanding hereunder at any time (it being understood that, for purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans, even if they
begin on the same date, although borrowings, extensions and conversions may, in accordance with the 
  

 49 

 provisions hereof, be combined at the end of existing Interest Periods to constitute a new Eurodollar Loan with a single
Interest Period), (v) any request for extension or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan which shall fail to specify an Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one month and (vi) Swingline Loans may not be
extended or converted pursuant to this Section 3.2. Each such extension or conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving a Notice of Extension/Conversion (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the office of the
Administrative Agent specified in Schedule 2.1(a), or at such other office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing, prior to 12:00 Noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the Business Day of, in the case of the conversion
of a Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, and on the third Business Day prior to, in the case of the extension of a Eurodollar Loan as, or conversion of a Base Rate Loan into, a Eurodollar Loan, the date of the proposed extension or conversion,
specifying the date of the proposed extension or conversion, the Loans to be so extended or converted, the types of Loans into which such Loans are to be converted and, if appropriate, the applicable Interest Periods with respect thereto. Each
request for extension or conversion shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower of the matters specified in clauses (b), (c), (d) and (e) of
Section 5.2. In the event the Borrower fails to request extension or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan in accordance with this Section 3.2, or any such conversion or extension is not permitted or required by this Credit
Agreement, then such Eurodollar Loan shall be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed
extension or conversion affecting any Loan. 
  
 3.3
Prepayments. 
  
 (a) Voluntary Prepayments. The
Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in whole or in part from time to time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment of Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and
integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof (or the then remaining principal balance of the Revolving Loans or the Tranche B Loan, as applicable, if less). Subject to the foregoing terms, amounts prepaid under this Section 3.3(a)
shall be applied as the Borrower may elect; provided that if the Borrower shall fail to specify, voluntary prepayments shall be applied first to Swingline Loans, second to Revolving Loans (first to Base Rate Loans and then to
Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities), third to the Tranche B Loan, ratably to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments and, fourth, after all Loans have been repaid, to Cash Collateralize the LOC
Obligations (first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities). All prepayments under this Section 3.3(a) shall be subject to Section 3.12, but otherwise without premium or
penalty, and shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment. 
  
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments. 
  
 (i) (A) Revolving Committed Amount. If at any time, the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans
plus LOC Obligations plus Swingline Loans shall exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower immediately shall prepay the Revolving Loans and (after all Revolving Loans have been repaid) Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations,
in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 
  

 50 

 (B) LOC Committed Amount. If at any time, the sum of the aggregate principal
amount of LOC Obligations shall exceed the LOC Committed Amount, the Borrower immediately shall Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 
  
 (ii) Excess Cash Flow. Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year (commencing with the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2006), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to (a) 50% of Excess Cash Flow minus (b) the amount of any voluntary prepayments of the Tranche B Loan or (to the extent accompanied by
a reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount) the Revolving Loans, for such prior fiscal year (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below). 
  
 (iii) (A) Asset Dispositions. Immediately upon the occurrence of any Asset Disposition
Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the related Asset Disposition not applied (or caused to be applied) by the Credit Parties during the related Application Period to
make Eligible Reinvestments as contemplated by the terms of Section 8.5(g) (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below). 
  

(B) Extraordinary Receipts. Immediately upon the receipt of Extraordinary Receipts received by or paid to or for the account of
the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and not otherwise included in clauses (ii), (iii)(A), (iv) or (v) of this Section 3.3(b) and, in the case of Extraordinary Receipts from any Involuntary
Disposition requiring application of any insurance proceeds to the prepayment of Loans (and Cash Collateralization of LOC Obligations) pursuant to Section 7.6(b), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100%
of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below). 
  
 (iv) Designated Debt Issuances. Immediately upon the occurrence of any Debt Issuance Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay
the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the related Designated Debt Issuance (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below). 
  
 (v) Equity Issuances. Immediately upon receipt by a Consolidated Party of proceeds from any Equity
Issuance other than an Excluded Equity Issuance, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Equity Issuance (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below).

  
 (vi) Application of Mandatory
Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) shall be applied as follows: (A) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(i)(A), to Revolving Loans (without any
reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount) and (after all Revolving Loans have been repaid) to Cash 
  

 51 

 Collateralize the LOC Obligations, (B) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to
Section 3.3(b)(i)(B), to Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations and (C) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), to the Tranche B Loan, ratably to
the remaining Principal Amortization Payments. After the Tranche B Loan has been repaid in full, no further prepayments under Section 3.3(b)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) shall be required hereunder. Within the
parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans subject to Section 3.3(b)(vii) in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this
Section 3.3(b) shall be subject to Section 3.12, but otherwise without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment. 
  
 (vii) Prepayment Account. If the Borrower is required
to make a mandatory prepayment of Eurodollar Loans under this Section 3.3(b), the Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making such prepayment in full, to deposit an amount equal to such mandatory prepayment with the Administrative
Agent in a cash collateral account maintained (pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) by and in the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Any amounts so deposited shall be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral for the prepayment of such Eurodollar Loans and shall be applied to the prepayment of the applicable Eurodollar Loans at the end of the current Interest Periods applicable thereto. At the request of the Borrower,
amounts so deposited shall be invested by the Administrative Agent in Cash Equivalents maturing prior to the date or dates on which it is anticipated that such amounts will be applied to prepay such Eurodollar Loans; any interest earned on such Cash
Equivalents will be for the account of the Borrower and the Borrower will deposit with the Administrative Agent the amount of any loss on any such Cash Equivalents to the extent necessary in order that the amount of the prepayment to be made with
the deposited amounts may not be reduced. 
  
 3.4
Termination and Reduction of Revolving Committed Amount. 
  
 (a) Voluntary Reductions. The Borrower may from time to time permanently reduce or terminate the Revolving Committed Amount in whole or in part (in minimum aggregate amounts of $5,000,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof (or, if less, the full remaining amount of the then applicable Revolving Committed Amount)) upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, no such termination or
reduction shall be made which would cause the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans plus LOC Obligations plus Swingline Loans to exceed the Revolving Committed Amount unless, concurrently with such
termination or reduction, the Revolving Loans are repaid to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 3.4(a). 
  
 (b) Tranche B
Loan Commitments. The Tranche B Loan Commitment of each Tranche B Lender shall automatically terminate at such time as such Tranche B Lender shall have made available to the Borrower such Tranche B Lender’s share of the Tranche B Loan.

  

 52 

 (c) Maturity Date. The Revolving Commitments of the Lenders, the LOC Commitment of the Issuing
Lender(s) and the Swingline Commitment of the Swingline Lender shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. 
  
 (d) General. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of
Section 3.5(a), on the date of each termination or reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount, the Unused Fee accrued through the date of such termination or reduction on the amount of the Revolving Committed Amount so terminated or
reduced. 
  
 3.5 Fees. 
  
 (a) Unused Fee. In consideration of the Revolving Commitments of the
Lenders hereunder, the Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a fee (the “Unused Fee”) on the Unused Revolving Committed Amount computed at a per annum rate for each day during the
applicable Unused Fee Calculation Period (hereinafter defined) at a rate equal to the Applicable Percentage. The Unused Fee shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March,
June, September and December (and on any date that the Revolving Committed Amount is reduced and on the Maturity Date) for the immediately preceding quarter (or portion thereof) (each such quarter or portion thereof for which the Unused Fee is
payable hereunder being herein referred to as an “Unused Fee Calculation Period”), beginning with the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date. 
  
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. 
  

(i) Standby Letter of Credit Issuance Fee. In consideration of the issuance of standby Letters of Credit hereunder, the Borrower
promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a fee (the “Standby Letter of Credit Fee”) on such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the average daily maximum amount available to
be drawn under each such standby Letter of Credit computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration equal to the Applicable Percentage. The Standby Letter of Credit Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears
on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December for the immediately preceding quarter (or a portion thereof). 
  
 (ii) Trade Letter of Credit Fee. In consideration of the issuance of trade Letters of Credit hereunder, the Borrower promises to
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a fee (the “Trade Letter of Credit Fee”) on such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under
each such trade Letter of Credit computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration equal to the Applicable Percentage. The Trade Letter of Credit Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December for the immediately preceding quarter (or a portion thereof). 
  

 53 

 (iii) Issuing Lender Fees. In addition to the Standby Letter of Credit Fee payable
pursuant to clause (i) above and the Trade Letter of Credit Fee payable pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, without sharing by the other Lenders, in
Dollars, a fronting fee equal to (A) with respect to each trade Letter of Credit,  1/4%, computed on the
Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance thereof, (B) with respect to any amendment of a trade Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between
the Borrower and the Issuing Lender, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment, and (C) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum,  1/4%, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a
quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the
first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any
Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.08. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Lender for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance,
presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Lender relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on
demand and are nonrefundable. 
  
 (c)
Administrative Fees. The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees referred to in the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter. 
  
 3.6 Capital Adequacy. 
  
 If any Lender has determined, after the date hereof, that the adoption or the becoming effective of, or any change in, or
any change by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof in the interpretation or administration of, any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or
compliance by such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such
Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon notice from such Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.
Each determination by any such Lender of amounts owing under this Section shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 3.6, none of the Lenders
shall be entitled to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.6, if it shall not be the general practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other comparable credit
agreements. 
  

 54 

 3.7 Limitation on Eurodollar Loans. 
  
 If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar
Loan: 
  
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which
determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or 
  
 (b) the Requisite Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive)
and notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period; 
  
 then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower prompt notice thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders
shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Loans, Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding
Eurodollar Loans, either prepay such Eurodollar Loans or Convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement. 
  
 3.8 Illegality. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to
make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans and to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall be
suspended until such time as such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 3.10 shall be applicable). 
  
 3.9 Requirements of Law. 
  
 If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change in any applicable law,
rule, or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its
Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency: 
  
 (i) shall subject such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty, or other charge with respect to any
Eurodollar Loans, its Notes, or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Credit Agreement or its Notes in respect of any Eurodollar
Loans (other than franchise taxes and taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof or therein or has its principal office or such Applicable Lending
Office); 
  

 55 

 (ii) shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, or similar
requirement (other than the Eurodollar Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such
Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office), including the Commitment of such Lender hereunder; or 
  
 (iii) shall impose on such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Credit Agreement or
its Notes or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments; 
  
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, Converting into, Continuing, or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans or to reduce any sum received or receivable by such
Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Credit Agreement or its Notes with respect to any Eurodollar Loans, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender within 5 Business Days following demand such amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; provided that such increases or reductions shall not include any increased costs or reductions in respect of taxes that are governed by the provisions of Section 3.11, and the
provisions of this Section 3.9 shall not be interpreted to cause a duplication in payment or treatment of any taxes in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of Section 3.11. If any Lender requests compensation by the
Borrower under this Section 3.9, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into
Eurodollar Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.10 shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such
Lender to receive the compensation so requested. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation
pursuant to this Section 3.9 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to it. Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 3.9 shall furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a statement setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 
  
 3.10 Treatment of Affected Loans. 
  
 If the obligation of any Lender to make any Eurodollar Loan or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended
pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9 hereof, such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Loans (or,
in the case of a Conversion, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in
Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9 hereof that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist: 
  

 56 

 (a) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans have been so Converted, all payments and
prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and 
  
 (b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all
Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into Eurodollar Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans. 
  
 If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.7, 3.8 or
3.9 hereof that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 3.10 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when
Eurodollar Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to the extent necessary
so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods of Revolving Loans) in accordance with their
respective Commitments of Revolving Loans and/or Tranche B Loans, as the case may be. 
  
 3.11 Taxes. 
  
 (a)
Except as otherwise required by law, any and all payments by any Credit Party to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income (however denominated), and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction
(or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such recipient is organized or in which its principal office is located or, in the case of any Lender, in which its Applicable Lending Office is located and (ii) any branch profits
taxes imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which the Lender is located (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter
referred to as “Taxes”). If any Credit Party shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent,
(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 3.11) such Lender or the Administrative Agent receives
an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Credit Party shall make such deductions, (iii) such Credit Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other
authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) such Credit Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

  

 57 

 (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes and
any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Credit Agreement or
any other Credit Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
  
 (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.11) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.

  
 (d) Each Lender on or prior to the date of its execution and
delivery of this Credit Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with (A) if such Lender is a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code (other than any such Lender that is a financial institution whose name includes the word “Bank”, “Credit Union”, “Savings and Loan” or “Mutual Savings Bank”), Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or
any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service or (B) if such Lender is not a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI, as appropriate, or any
successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces to zero the rate of withholding tax on payments of
hereunder or under any other Credit Document or certifying that the income receivable hereunder or under any other Credit Document is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) with respect to
payments of interest, if such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.11(d) and Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or, in
either case, any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender. In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form
previously delivered by such Lender. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower. 
  
 (e) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any form required to be provided by it pursuant to Section 3.11(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form
originally was required to be provided), (i) the Borrower shall be entitled to deduct or withhold on payments to the Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of such failure, as required by law, and (ii) the Borrower shall not be
required to make payments of additional amounts with respect to such withheld amounts pursuant to Section 3.11(a) (or to indemnify a Lender pursuant to Section 3.11(c)) to the extent such 
  

 58 

 withholding (or liability for Tax) is required solely by reason of the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender
to provide the necessary certificate, document or other evidence of an exemption from withholding; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure
to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere
in this Section 3.11, the Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent in the manner set forth in Section 3.11 in respect of any Taxes deducted or withheld by it on
payments to the Administrative Agent or such Lender where such deduction or withholding is required as a result of the failure by such Lender to provide Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any form required to be provided pursuant to
Section 3.11(d) where such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which such form originally was required to be provided. 
  
 (f) If any Credit Party is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this
Section 3.11, then such Lender will agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the
judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
  
 (g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Credit Parties hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Credit Parties contained in this Section 3.11 shall survive the repayment
of the Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder. 
  
 (h) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it
has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 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, as the case may be, and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower
(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 subsection 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 that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

  

 59 

 3.12 Compensation. 
  
 Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the
reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) incurred by it as a result of: 
  
 (a) any payment, prepayment, or Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan for any reason (including, without limitation, (i) in connection with any assignment
by Bank of America pursuant to Section 11.3(b) as part of the primary syndication of the Tranche B Loans during the 90-day period immediately following the Closing Date and (ii) the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to
Section 9.2) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or 
  
 (b) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any condition precedent specified in Section 5
to be satisfied) to borrow, Convert, Continue, or prepay a Eurodollar Loan on the date for such borrowing, Conversion, Continuation, or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of borrowing, prepayment, Continuation, or Conversion under this
Credit Agreement. 
  
 With respect to Eurodollar Loans, such indemnification may
include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, Converted or Continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to
borrow, Convert or Continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, Convert or Continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable
rate of interest for such Eurodollar Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Percentage included therein, if any) over (b) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such
Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. The covenants of the Borrower set forth in this Section 3.12 shall survive the repayment of the Loans,
LOC Obligations and other obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder. 
  
 3.13 Pro Rata Treatment. 
  
 Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: 
  
 (a) Loans. Each Loan, each payment or (subject to the terms of Section 3.3) prepayment of principal of any Loan or reimbursement
obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, each payment of interest on the Loans or reimbursement obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, each payment of Unused Fees, each payment of the Standby Letter of Credit
Fee, each payment of the Trade Letter of Credit Fee, each reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount and each conversion or extension of any Loan, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of
their outstanding Loans of the applicable type and Participation Interests in Loans of the applicable type and Letters of Credit. 
  

 60 

 (b) Advances. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure or delay by any other Lender in its
obligation to make its ratable share of a borrowing hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any requested borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its ratable share of such borrowing to be made on such date, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such borrowing, and the Administrative Agent in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion but without any
obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be able to recover such corresponding amount from such
Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall within 3 Business Days after demand pay
such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such
corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for the
applicable borrowing pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing and (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Rate. 
  
 3.14 Sharing of Payments. 
  
 The Lenders agree among themselves that, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan, LOC Obligations or any other obligation
owing to such Lender under this Credit Agreement through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest
arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, in excess of its pro rata share of such payment as provided for in this
Credit Agreement, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders a Participation Interest in such Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to
the end that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Credit Agreement. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by such Lender through the
exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by repurchase of a Participation
Interest theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Borrower agrees that any
Lender so purchasing such a Participation Interest may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such Participation Interest as fully as if such
Lender were a holder of such Loan, LOC Obligations or other obligation in the amount of such Participation Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, if any Lender shall fail to remit to the Administrative Agent or
any other Lender an 
  

 61 

 amount payable by such Lender to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender pursuant to this Credit Agreement on the
date when such amount is due, such payments shall be made together with interest thereon for each date from the date such amount is due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender at a rate per annum equal to
the Federal Funds Rate. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 3.14 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable,
exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section 3.14 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. 
  
 3.15 Payments, Computations, Etc. 
  
 (a) Generally. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all
payments hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent in Dollars in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction, counterclaim or withholding of any kind, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in
Schedule 2.1(a) not later than 2:00 P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date when due unless such day is not a Business Day in which case such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Payments received after
such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Borrower shall, at the time it makes any payment under this Credit Agreement, specify to the Administrative Agent the Loans, LOC Obligations, Fees, interest or
other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that it fails so to specify, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments first to Swingline Loans, second to
Revolving Loans (first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities), and, after all Revolving Loans have been repaid, to Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations and third to the Tranche B Loan,
ratably to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments (in each case first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities). The Administrative Agent will distribute such payments to such Lenders, if
any such payment is received prior to 2:00 P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on a Business Day in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the Administrative Agent will distribute such payment to such Lenders on
the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (subject to accrual of interest and Fees for
the period of such extension), except that in the case of Eurodollar Loans, if the extension would cause the payment to be made in the next following calendar month, then such payment shall instead be made on the next preceding Business Day. Except
as expressly provided otherwise herein, all computations of interest and fees shall be made on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, except with respect to computation of interest on Base Rate Loans which shall be
calculated based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as appropriate. Interest shall accrue from and include the date of borrowing, but exclude the date of payment. 
  
 (b) Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Credit Agreement to the contrary, after
acceleration of the Credit Party Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the Credit Party Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of
the Credit Documents or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows: 
  
 FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) of
the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents and any protective advances made by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of the Collateral
Documents; 
  

 62 

 SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such;

  
 THIRD, to the payment of all of the Credit
Party Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest on the Loans, LOC Obligations and Hedging Agreements between any Consolidated Party and any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender; 
  
 FOURTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Credit Party Obligations (including the
payment or Cash Collateralization of the outstanding LOC Obligations and Hedging Agreements between any Consolidated Party and any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender); 
  
 FIFTH, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees) of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing its rights under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to the Credit Party Obligations owing to such Lender; 
  
 SIXTH, to all other Credit Party Obligations and other
obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Credit Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses ”FIRST” through “FIFTH” above; and 
  
 SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such
surplus. 
  
 In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts
received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then
outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses ”THIRD”, “FOURTH”, “FIFTH” and
“SIXTH” above; and (iii) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause ”FIFTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall
be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (A) first, to reimburse the Issuing Lender(s) from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all
Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clauses ”FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above in the manner provided in this Section 3.15(b). 
  

 63 

 3.16 Evidence of Debt. 
  
 (a) Each Lender shall maintain an account or accounts evidencing each Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower from time to
time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Credit Agreement. Each Lender will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of its account or accounts and to promptly update
its account or accounts from time to time, as necessary. 
  
 (b)
The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.3(c), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount, type and Interest Period of
each such Loan hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from or for the
account of any Credit Party and each Lender’s share thereof. The Administrative Agent will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of the subaccounts referred to in the preceding sentence and to promptly update such subaccounts from
time to time, as necessary. 
  
 (c) The entries made in the
accounts, Register and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 3.16 (and, if consistent with the entries of the Administrative Agent, clause (a)) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts
of the obligations of the Credit Parties therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain any such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error
therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Credit Parties to repay the Credit Party Obligations owing to such Lender. 
  
 3.17 Replacement of Affected Lenders. 
  
 If any Lender having a Revolving Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its Revolving Commitment or if any Lender is owed
increased costs under Section 3.6, Section 3.8 or Section 3.9, or the Borrower is required to make any payments under Section 3.11 to any Lender in excess of those to the other Lenders or if any Lender
elects not to enter into any amendment, modification, consent or waiver with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document requested by the Borrower, which amendment, modification, consent or waiver cannot become effective without the
consent of such Lender, the Borrower shall have the right, if no Event of Default then exists, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Assignee or Eligible Assignees, none of whom shall
constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 3.17, the Replaced Lender and
Replacement Lender shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption in the form of Exhibit 11.3(b) and in accordance with Section 11.3(b)(iv), pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case
may be, of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and participation in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and (ii) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender relating to the Loans so replaced (including, without
limitation, such increased costs and excluding those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently 
  

 64 

 being paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the
assignment documentation, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the
Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such replaced Loans, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Credit Agreement, which shall
survive as to such Replaced Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, (1) any Lender that acts as an Issuing Lender may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder unless
arrangements satisfactory to such Lender (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer satisfactory to such Lender or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account
maintained with the Administrative Agent in amounts and pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to such Lender) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit and (2) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be
replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 10.6. The Replaced Lender shall be required to deliver for cancellation its applicable Notes to be canceled on the date of replacement, or if any such Note is lost or
unavailable, such other assurances or indemnification therefor as the Borrower may reasonably request. 
  
 SECTION 4 
  
 GUARANTY 
  
 4.1 The Guaranty.

  
 Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally
guarantees to each Lender, each Affiliate of a Lender that enters into a Hedging Agreement, and the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Credit Party Obligations in full when
due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Credit Party
Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any
demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Credit Party Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by
acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. 
  
 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents or Hedging Agreements, the obligations of each
Guarantor under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any
comparable provisions of any applicable state law. 
  

 65 

 4.2 Obligations Unconditional. 
  
 The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.1 are joint
and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents or Hedging Agreements, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any
substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Credit Party Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.2 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Section 4 until such time as
the Credit Party Obligations have been Fully Satisfied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the
liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above: 
  
 (a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Credit Party
Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; 
  
 (b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, any Hedging Agreement between the Borrower and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument
referred to in the Credit Documents or such Hedging Agreements shall be done or omitted; 
  
 (c) the maturity of any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Credit
Documents, any Hedging Agreement between the Borrower and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents or such Hedging Agreements shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of
the Credit Party Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; 
  
 (d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Credit Party Obligations shall fail
to attach or be perfected; or 
  
 (e) any of the Credit Party
Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any
Guarantor). 
  
 With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby
expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Credit
Documents, any Hedging Agreement between the Borrower and any 
  

 66 

 Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents or such
Hedging Agreements, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Credit Party Obligations. 
  
 4.3 Reinstatement. 
  
 The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 4 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment
by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Credit Party Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Credit Party Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or
otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent
or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. 
  
 4.4 Certain
Additional Waivers. 
  
 In the event that North Carolina
law is determined to be controlling in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Section 4 notwithstanding the parties’ contractual choice of New York law pursuant to Section 11.10(a), each Guarantor hereby
specifically waives the benefits of N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 26-7 through 26-9, inclusive, to the extent applicable. Each Guarantor further agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Credit Party Obligations,
except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.2 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.6. 
  
 4.5 Remedies. 
  
 The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, on the other hand, the Credit Party Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.2 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said
Section 9.2) for purposes of Section 4.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Credit Party Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as
against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Credit Party Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Credit Party Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall
forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.1. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the
Lenders may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof. 
  

 67 

 4.6 Rights of Contribution. 
  
 The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Guarantor shall make an Excess Payment (as defined below), such
Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s Contribution Share (as defined below) of such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Guarantor under this
Section 4.6 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Credit Party Obligations until such time as the Credit Party Obligations have been Fully Satisfied, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy
under this Section 4.6 against any other Guarantor until such Credit Party Obligations have been Fully Satisfied. For purposes of this Section 4.6, (a) ”Excess Payment” shall mean the amount paid by any
Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of any Credit Party Obligations; (b) ”Pro Rata Share” shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any payment of Credit Party Obligations, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of
the date of such payment of Credit Party Obligations of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value on a going concern basis of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such
Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value on a going concern basis of
all assets and other properties of all of the Credit Parties exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Credit Parties
hereunder) of the Credit Parties; provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Pro Rata Shares of the Guarantors in respect of any payment of Credit Party Obligations, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to the
date of any such payment shall be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such payment and the financial information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with
such payment; and (e) ”Contribution Share” shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any Excess Payment made by any other Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such Excess Payment of (i) the
amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value on a going concern basis of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated
liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value on a going concern basis of all assets and other properties of the Credit Parties other than the maker
of such Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Credit Parties) of the Credit Parties other than the
maker of such Excess Payment; provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Contribution Shares of the Guarantors in respect of any Excess Payment, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to the date of any such
Excess Payment shall be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such Excess Payment and the financial information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such
Excess Payment. This Section 4.6 shall not be deemed to affect any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution that any Guarantor may have under applicable law against the Borrower in respect of any payment of Credit
Party Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights of contribution against any Guarantor shall terminate from and after such time, if ever, that such Guarantor shall be relieved of its obligations pursuant to Section 8.5.

  

 68 

 4.7 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee. 
  
 The guarantee in this Section 4 is a guaranty of payment and not
of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Credit Party Obligations whenever arising.

for labor, materials and supplies) which, if unpaid, might give rise to a Lien upon any of its properties, and (c) except as prohibited hereunder, all of its other Indebtedness as it shall become due; provided, however, that
neither the Parent nor any Consolidated Party shall be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy, claim or Indebtedness which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate reserves therefor have
been established in accordance with GAAP, unless the failure to make any such payment (i) could give rise to an immediate right to foreclose on a Lien securing such amounts or (ii) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
  
 7.6 Insurance. 
  
 (a) Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at

 86 

 damage to or destruction of, or any condemnation or other taking for public use of, any Property of the Parent or the
Consolidated Parties (with respect to the Parent or any Consolidated Party, an “Involuntary Disposition”), the Credit Parties shall, within the period of 360 days following the date of receipt of such Excess Proceeds, apply (or
cause to be applied) an amount equal to such Excess Proceeds to (i) make Eligible Reinvestments (including but not limited to the repair or replacement of the related Property) or (ii) prepay the Loans (and Cash Collateralize the LOC
Obligations) in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3(b)(iii)(B); provided, however, that such Person shall not undertake replacement or restoration of such Property unless, after giving pro forma effect to any Funded
Indebtedness to be incurred in connection with such replacement or restoration, no Default or Event of Default would have occurred as of the most recent fiscal quarter end preceding the date of determination with respect to which the Administrative
Agent has received the Required Financial Information (assuming, for purposes hereof, that such Funded Indebtedness was incurred as of the first day of the four fiscal-quarter period ending as of such fiscal quarter end). All insurance proceeds

temporarily reduce the Revolving Loans or to make Permitted Investments.

or proper, to the extent and in the manner customary for companies in similar businesses. 
  
 7.8 Performance of Obligations. 
  
 Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, perform in all material respects all of its material obligations under the terms of all material agreements, indentures, mortgages, security
agreements or other debt instruments to which it is a party or by which it is bound. 
  
 7.9 Use of Proceeds. 
  
 The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans and will use the Letters of Credit solely for the purposes set forth in Section 6.15. 
  
 7.10 Audits/Inspections.

appointed by the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, independent accountants, agents, attorneys, and appraisers to visit and inspect its property, including its books and records, its accounts receivable and inventory, its
facilities and its other business assets, and to make photocopies or photographs thereof and to write 
  

 87 

 down and record any information such representative obtains and shall permit the Administrative Agent or its
representatives to investigate and verify the accuracy of information provided to the Lenders and to discuss all such matters with the officers, employees and representatives of such Person; provided, however, that, unless an Event of

as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the
Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any
kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 
  
 10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. 
  
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
  
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
  
 (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Requisite Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may

to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
  
 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 11.6 and 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Lender.

rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution)
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the
proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a
Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing
Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not

through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
  
 10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. 
  
 The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right
(so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, with the consent of the Borrower), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the
United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall 
  

 102 

 have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any of the Credit
Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance
of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents,
the provisions of this Section and Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
  
 Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Lender and
Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing
Lender and Swingline Lender, (b) the retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Lender
shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring
Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
  
 10.7
Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. 
  
 Each Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as 
  

 103 

 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 Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
  
 10.8 No Other Duties, Etc. 
  
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners or Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder. 
  
 10.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. 
  
 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LOC Obligation shall then be due and payable
as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 
  
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LOC Obligations and all other Credit Party Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the
Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all
other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.5 and 11.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
  
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
same; 
  
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator
or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.5 and 11.5. 
  
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the Issuing Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Credit Party Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 
  

 104 

 10.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. 
  
 The Lenders and the Issuing Lender irrevocably authorize the Administrative
Agent, at its option and in its discretion, 
  
 (a) to release any
Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Credit Party Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and
the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit or cash collateralization of Letters of Credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale
permitted hereunder or under any other Credit Document, or (iii) subject to Section 11.6, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders; and 
  
 (b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of
a transaction permitted hereunder. 
  
 Upon request by the
Administrative Agent at any time, the Requisite Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its
obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.10.

 11.2 Right of Set-Off; Adjustments. 
  
 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender (or any of its Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of such
Person now or hereafter existing under this Credit Agreement, under the Notes, under any other Credit Document or otherwise, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made any 
  

 106 

 demand hereunder or thereunder and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify any
affected Credit Party after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under
this Section 11.2 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have. 
  

11.3 Benefit of Agreement. 
  
 (a) This Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties
hereto; provided that none of the Credit Parties may assign or transfer any of its interests and obligations without prior written consent of each of the Lenders; provided further that the rights of each Lender to transfer
(other than any transfer by operation of law), assign or grant participations in its rights and/or obligations hereunder shall be limited as set forth in this Section 11.3. 
  
 (b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in LOC Obligations and in Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that
(i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund
with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) 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 or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 ($1,000,000 in the case of Tranche B Loans), unless each of the
Administrative Agent and, with respect to Revolving Commitments and/or Revolving Loans so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee
Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (x) apply to rights in respect of Swingline Loans or (y) prohibit any Lender from assigning all
or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate tranches on a non-pro rata basis; (iii) any assignment of a Revolving Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender unless the
Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,500 (which fee is not payable by the Borrower, except to the extent specified in Section 3.17); provided, however, that in the event of two or
more concurrent assignments to members of the same Assignee Group (which 
  

 107 

 may be effected by a suballocation of an assigned amount among members of such Assignee Group) or two or more concurrent
assignments by members of the same Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group), the Assignment Fee will be $2,500 plus (i) $0 for the first four concurrent assignments or
suballocations to members of an Assignee Group (or from members of an Assignee Group, as applicable) and (ii) $500 for each additional concurrent assignment or suballocation to a member of such Assignee Group (or from a member of such Assignee
Group, as applicable). Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee
thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit 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 Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.6, 3.9, 3.11 and 11.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring
prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender; provided that any Note of the assigning Lender is correspondingly modified or replaced. Any
assignment or transfer (other than any transfer by operation of law) by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (f) of this Section. 
  
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.1 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to
and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of
this Credit Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Credit Parties or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Any assignment of any Loan or other Credit Party Obligations shall
be effective only upon an entry with respect thereto being made in the Register. 
  
 (d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by the parties thereto, together with any Note subject to such assignment and payment of the processing fee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such
Assignment and Assumption has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit 11.3(b) hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and
(iii) give prompt notice thereof to the parties thereto. 
  
 (e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in all or a portion of its rights, obligations or rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or its Loans);
provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations 
  

 108 

 under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participant shall be entitled to the benefit of the yield protection provisions contained in Sections 3.6, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11 and
3.12 provided that, with respect to Section 3.11, any such participant shall have complied with the requirements of Section 3.11 including, without limitation, Section 3.11(d) and (iv) the Credit
Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Credit
Parties relating to the Credit Party Obligations owing to such Lender and to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement (other than amendments, modifications, or waivers (A) decreasing the amount of
principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on such Loans or Notes, (B) extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on such Loans or Notes, (C) extending its Commitment,
(D) except as the result of or in connection with an Asset Disposition not prohibited by Section 8.5, releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral or (E) except as the result of or in connection with a dissolution,
merger or disposition of a Consolidated Party not prohibited by Section 8.4 or Section 8.5, releasing the Borrower or substantially all of the other Credit Parties from its or their obligations under the Credit Documents).

  
 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this
Credit Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Notes to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and in the case of
any Lender that is a Fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
  
 (g) Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the Parent or any of the Consolidated Parties in the possession of such Lender from time to time to
assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 11.14 hereof. 
  
 11.4 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. 
  
 No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit
Document and no course of dealing between the Administrative Agent or any Lender and any of the Credit Parties shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other
Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which
the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle the Credit Parties to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of
the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. 
  

 109 

 11.5 Expenses; Indemnification. 
  
 (a) The Credit Parties shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the
preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and
(iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender), in connection
with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder,
including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 
  
 (b) The Credit Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the Issuing 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, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) (but not Taxes, which shall be governed by Sections 3.9 and 3.11), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Credit
Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Lender 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 actual or alleged presence or release of Materials of Environmental Concern on or from any property owned or operated
by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any liability under Environmental Laws related in any way to the Parent 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, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall
not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad
faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other 
  

 110 

 Credit Party against an Indemnitee for breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Credit
Document, if the Borrower or such Credit Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower or any Credit Party for any reason fails to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender
(other than the Tranche B Lenders with respect to indemnification of the Issuing Lender), as applicable, severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such
Lender’s Commitment 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,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity. 
  
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Credit Parties shall not assert, and hereby waive,
any claim against any Indemnitee, 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, any other Credit
Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for
any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
  
 (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor. 
  
 (f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, the replacement
of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Credit Party Obligations. 
  
 11.6 Amendments, Waivers and Consents. 
  
 Neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any of the terms hereof or thereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or
terminated unless such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing entered into by, or approved in writing by, each of the Credit Parties party thereto and the Requisite Lenders and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent,
provided, however, that: 
  
 (a) without the
written consent of each Lender affected thereby, neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Credit Document may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated so as to 
  
 (i) extend the final maturity of any Loan or of any reimbursement obligation, or any portion thereof,
arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, or extend or waive any Principal Amortization Payment of any Tranche B Loan, or any portion thereof, 
  

 111 

 (ii) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest on any Loan or of any
reimbursement obligation, or any portion thereof, arising from drawings under Letters of Credit or of any Fees, 
  
 (iii) reduce or waive the principal amount of any Loan or of any reimbursement obligation, or any portion thereof, arising from drawings
under Letters of Credit, 
  
 (iv) increase the
Commitment of a Lender over the amount thereof in effect (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Commitment of any
Lender), 
  
 (v) except as the result of or in
connection with an Asset Disposition not prohibited by Section 8.5, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, 
  
 (vi) except as the result of or in connection with a dissolution, merger or disposition of a Consolidated Party not prohibited by
Section 8.4 or Section 8.5, release the Borrower, the Parent or substantially all of the other Credit Parties from its or their obligations under the Credit Documents, 
  
 (vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this
Section 11.6, 
  
 (viii) reduce any
percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of Requisite Lenders, or 
  
 (ix) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower or all or substantially all of the other Credit Parties of any of its or their
rights and obligations under (or in respect of) the Credit Documents except as permitted thereby; 
  
 (b) without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, no provision of Section 10 or any other provision of any Credit Agreement
pertaining to the duties and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated; 
  
 (c) without the written consent of the Issuing Lender(s), no provision of Section 2.2 may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or
terminated; 
  

 112 

 (d) without the written consent of the Swingline Lender, no provision of Section 2.3 may be
amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated; 
  
 (e) unless
also signed by Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) holding in the aggregate at least a majority of the Revolving Commitments (or if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, the outstanding Revolving Loans (and participations in any LOC
Obligations)), no such amendment, waiver or consent shall: 
  
 (i) waive any Default or Event of Default for purposes of Section 5.2, 
  
 (ii) amend or waive any mandatory prepayment on the Revolving Obligations under Section 3.3(b) or the manner of application
thereof to the Revolving Obligations under Section 3.3(b)(vi), 
  
 (iii) amend or waive the provisions of Section 5.2 (Conditions to all Extensions of Credit), Section 7.11 (Financial Covenants), Section 8 (Negative Covenants),
Section 9 (Events of Default) or this Section 11.6(e); or 
  
 (f) unless also signed by Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) holding in the aggregate at least a majority of the outstanding Tranche B Loan (and participations therein), no such amendment, waiver or consent
shall: 
  
 (i) amend or waive any mandatory
prepayment on the Tranche B Loans under Section 3.3(b) or the manner of application thereof to the Tranche B Loans under Section 3.3(b)(vi), or 
  
 (ii) amend or waive the provisions of this Section 11.6(f); 
  
 Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in
certain circumstances as set forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c)
of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (y) the Requisite Lenders shall determine whether or not to allow a Credit Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding and such determination shall be binding on all of the Lenders. 
  
 11.7 Counterparts. 
  
 This Credit Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof
of this Credit Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart for each of the parties hereto. Delivery by facsimile by any of the parties hereto of an executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement shall be as effective as an

provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lending Party from disclosing such information (a) to any other Lending Party or any Affiliate of any Lending Party, or any officer, director, employee, agent, or advisor of any Lending
Party or Affiliate of any Lending Party or to any other Person if reasonably incidental to the administration of the Credit Facility, in each case, on a need to know basis in accordance with customary banking practices and who receive such

any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (i) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap
agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty (i) has been approved in writing by the Borrower and (ii) agrees in
a writing enforceable by the Borrower to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.14) and (j) subject to provisions substantially similar to those contained in this Section 11.14, to any actual or proposed

 11.15 Source of Funds. 
  
 Each of the Lenders hereby represents and warrants to the Borrower that at least one of the following statements is an accurate representation as to the source of funds to be used by such Lender in connection with the financing hereunder:

  
 (a) no part of such funds constitutes assets allocated to any
separate account maintained by such Lender in which any employee benefit plan (or its related trust) has any interest; 
  
 (b) to the extent that any part of such funds constitutes assets allocated to any separate account maintained by such Lender, such Lender has disclosed to
the Borrower the name of each employee benefit plan whose assets in such account exceed 10% of the total assets of such account as of the date of such purchase (and, for purposes of this clause (b), all employee benefit plans maintained by the
same employer or employee organization are deemed to be a single plan); 
  
 (c) to the extent that any part of such funds constitutes assets of an insurance company’s general account, such insurance company has complied with all of the requirements of the regulations issued under Section 401(c)(1)(A) of
ERISA such that the assets of such general account do not constitute assets of an employee benefit plan; 
  
 (d) such funds constitute assets of one or more specific benefit plans which such Lender has identified in writing to the Borrower; or 
  
 (e) such funds do not constitute assets of an employee benefit plan under
Section 3(3) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code pursuant to Labor Regulation 2510.3-101. 
  
 As used in this Section 11.15, the terms “employee benefit plan” and “separate account” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in Section 3 of ERISA. 

 

 116 

 11.16 Regulation D. 
  
 Each of the Lenders hereby represents and warrants to the Borrower that it is a commercial lender, other financial
institution or other “accredited” investor (as defined in SEC Regulation D) which makes or acquires loans on the ordinary course of business and that it will make or acquire Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of
business. 
  
 11.17 Conflict. 
  
 To the extent that there is a conflict or inconsistency between any
provision hereof, on the one hand, and any provision of any Credit Document, on the other hand, this Credit Agreement shall control. 
  
 11.18 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. 
  
 Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies
the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “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 or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.
