and conditions of the Supplemental Term Loans shall be acceptable to the Lenders in their sole discretion and shall include, without limitation, a requirement that each of the Loan Parties complies with the Restructuring Support Agreement in all
respects. As used herein, the “Supplemental Funding Conditions” shall mean (a) the receipt by the Lenders of a projected statement of sources and uses of cash for the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries on a weekly basis,
for the following 13 calendar weeks, including any anticipated use of the proceeds of the Supplemental Term Loans, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders, (b) the timely execution and delivery of the Restructuring Support
Agreement, (c) the execution of an amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement providing for the Supplemental Term Loans and delivery by the Loan Parties of related documentation reasonably requested by the Lenders and (d) such other
conditions as shall be specified by the Lenders in their reasonable discretion. 
 9.    Reference to and Effect on
the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 (a)    On and after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date,
each reference in the Amended Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Amended Credit Agreement. 

(b)    The Existing Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically amended by this Amendment, are
and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. 
 (c)    The
execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the 

  
 8 

 
Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. On and after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, this Amendment shall
for all purposes constitute a Loan Document. 
 10.    Acknowledgment; Liens Unimpaired. Each Loan Party hereby
acknowledges that it has read this Amendment and consents to its terms, and further hereby affirms, confirms, represents, warrants and agrees that (a) notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment, the obligations of such Loan Party under
each of the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party shall not be impaired and each of the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby confirmed and ratified in
all respects and (b) after giving effect to this Amendment, (i) the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this Amendment shall not impair the validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant to the Loan
Documents and such Liens shall continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all Obligations, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred, including, without limitation, the April 3, 2017 Additional Term Loans to be made by the
April 3, 2017 Additional Term Loan Lenders on the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, (ii) the Guaranty and Security Agreement, as and to the extent provided in the Loan Documents, shall continue in full force and effect in respect of the
Obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the April 3, 2017 Additional Term Loans to be made by the April 3, 2017 Additional Term Loan Lenders on the Fifth Amendment
Effective Date, and (iii) each Control Agreement previously delivered by Borrower in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement shall not be impaired and each Control Agreement continues in full force and effect in respect of the Obligations
under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the April 3, 2017 Additional Term Loans to be made by the April 3, 2017 Additional Term Loan Lenders on the Fifth Amendment Effective Date. For
the avoidance of doubt, each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and affirms that the April 3, 2017 Additional Term Loans made pursuant to this Amendment or the Amended Credit Agreement constitute “Obligations” (as defined in the Guaranty
and Security Agreement) and similar defined terms used in the Loan Documents. 
 11.    Authorization of
Administrative Agent. By signing below, the Lenders party hereto (which Lenders constitute the “Required Lenders” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) hereby authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to execute
and deliver each of (a) this Amendment, (b) the Intercreditor Amendments and (c) each other certificate, filing, agreement or other document relating to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby. 

12.    Miscellaneous. 

(a)    Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any Agent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Amendment and
all other instruments or documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith. All obligations provided herein shall survive any termination of this Amendment and the Existing Credit Agreement as amended
hereby. 
 (b)    Choice of Law and Venue; Jury Trial Waiver; Reference Provision. Without limiting the
applicability of any other provision of the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, the terms and provisions set forth in Section 12 of the Existing Credit Agreement are expressly incorporated herein by reference. 

(c)    Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the parties hereto on the
same or separate counterparts, and each such counterpart, when executed and 

  
 9 

 
delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Amendment. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by
telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

(d)    Severability. Each provision of this Amendment shall be severable from every other provision of this
Amendment for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision. 
 13.    Release.

 (a)    In consideration of the agreements of the Agents and Lenders contained herein and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of Borrower and each Guarantor that executes this Amendment, on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns, and other legal representatives (Borrower, each Guarantor
and all such other Persons being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Releasors” and individually as a “Releasor”), hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases, remises and forever discharges
the Agents, and Lenders, and their successors and assigns, and their present and former shareholders, Affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, directors, officers, attorneys, employees, agents and other representatives (Agents, each Lender

controversies, agreements, promises, sums of money, accounts, bills, reckonings, damages and any and all other claims, counterclaims, defenses, rights of set-off, demands and liabilities whatsoever of every
name and nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity, which any Releasor may now or hereafter own, hold, have or claim to have against the Releasees or any of them for, upon, or by reason of any circumstance,
action, cause or thing whatsoever which arises at any time on or prior to the day and date of this Amendment, in any way related to or in connection with this Amendment, the Existing Credit Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement, or any of the
other Loan Documents or transactions thereunder or related thereto. 
 (b)    Each of Borrower and each Guarantor that
executes this Amendment understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be
instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release. 
 (c)    Each of Borrower and each
Guarantor that executes this Amendment agrees that no fact, event, circumstance, evidence or transaction which could now be asserted or which may hereafter be discovered shall affect in any manner the final, absolute and unconditional nature of the
release set forth above.
