Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower
with, an L/C Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. The Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any
Subsidiary as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, it will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of Participation Fees to the same extent as if it were the sole
account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (the Borrower hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor of the obligations of any Subsidiary that shall be an account party in respect of any such
Letter of Credit). 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal and Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a
Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or send by facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the
applicable L/C Issuer) to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of such Letter of Credit, or 

  

 44 

 
identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as applicable
(which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.03(c)), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, the account party for
such Letter of Credit and such other information as shall be necessary to enable the applicable L/C Issuer to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower also shall submit a letter
of credit application on the applicable L/C Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the aggregate L/C Exposure will not exceed the Letter of Credit Limit and
(ii) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Exposures (other than any portion thereof attributable to Overadvance Loans or Special Agent Loans) will not exceed (A) the lesser of (1) the aggregate Commitments at such time, (2) the
Borrowing Base at such time and (3) the Facilities Reduction Amount at such time, minus (B) the Availability Block at such time, minus (C) the Specified Reserves at such time. Each L/C Issuer agrees that it will not
issue, renew, extend or increase the amount of any Letter of Credit without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that such action is then permitted under this Agreement. 
 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after
the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that any
Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic renewal provisions agreed upon by the Borrower and the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to which the expiration date shall be automatically extended for a period of up to 12 months (but not to a date
later than the date set forth in clause (ii) above), subject to a right on the part of such L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal from occurring by giving notice to the beneficiary by a specified time in advance of any such renewal.

 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof, and
without any further action on the part of the applicable L/C Issuer or the Revolving Lenders, such L/C Issuer hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such L/C Issuer, a participation in such Letter of
Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees that if an L/C Issuer makes a L/C Disbursement that is not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.03(e), or is required to refund any reimbursement payment in respect of a L/C
Disbursement to the Borrower for any reason, such Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such L/C Disbursement. Each
Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire and fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) is unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever. 
 (e) Reimbursement. If an L/C Issuer shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower
shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying to such L/C Issuer an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement on the same Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such L/C Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 1:00 p.m. If the
Borrower fails to make the 

  

 45 

 
payment referred to in the preceding sentence with respect to a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent in
accordance with Section 2.03(k), and the Administrative Agent shall in turn notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s
Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.02 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly pay to the applicable L/C Issuer the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any amount subsequently received by it from the Borrower or another Loan Party in
respect of such L/C Disbursement, and shall remit to the Administrative Agent any such amount promptly upon receipt thereof. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such remittance or of any payment by or on behalf of the
Borrower in respect of such L/C Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall remit such payment to such L/C Issuer or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such L/C Issuer, then to the
Revolving Lenders and such L/C Issuer as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this Section 2.03(e) to reimburse an L/C Issuer for any L/C Disbursement shall not constitute a loan and shall not
relieve the Borrower (or any other account party in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit) of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in Section 2.03(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other
document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of
this Section 2.03(f), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, or any of their
Related Persons shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances
referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a
drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of an L/C Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the
Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such L/C
Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of an L/C Issuer, such L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to
documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer may either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation,
regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
  

 46 

 (g) Disbursement Procedures. Each L/C Issuer shall, promptly following its receipt thereof,
examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by it. Such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery or facsimile) of such
demand for payment and whether such L/C Issuer has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C
Issuer and the Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If an L/C Issuer shall make any L/C
Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to
but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at a rate per annum (computed in accordance with Section 2.09(a)) equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided that, if the Borrower
fails to reimburse such L/C Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.03(e), then Section 2.09(b) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.03(h) shall be for the account of the applicable L/C
Issuer, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(e) to reimburse such L/C Issuer shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.

 (i) Termination of an L/C Issuer. Any L/C Issuer may cease to be an L/C Issuer at any time by written agreement among the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, or as provided in Section 9.09(c). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders of any such termination of an L/C Issuer. At the time any such termination shall become
effective and from time to time thereafter as long as any Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer shall remain outstanding, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated L/C Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.10(b). After the termination of an L/C Issuer hereunder, such L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of
Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 
 (j) Additional L/C
Issuers. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the Co-Collateral Agents (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the designated Person, designate one or more additional Lenders to act
as an L/C Issuer under the terms of this Agreement, and any Lender so designated shall become an L/C Issuer hereunder. 
 (k) L/C Issuer
Reports. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on or prior to each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter
of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension (and whether the amount thereof shall have changed), (ii) on each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer makes any L/C Disbursement, the date and amount of such L/C Disbursement, (iii) on any Business Day on which the Borrower
fails to reimburse an L/C Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such L/C Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such L/C Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer and outstanding on such Business Day. 
  

 47 

 (l) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing or if the
Borrower is required to provide cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.06(b), on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to
this Section 2.03(l), the Borrower shall deposit in an account designated by the Collateral Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 105% of the L/C Exposure as of
such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other
notice of any kind, (i) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.01(f) and (ii) as required by Section 2.06(b). If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, on the Business Day that the
Borrower receives notice from an L/C Issuer demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.03(l), the Borrower shall (i) deposit in an account designated by the Collateral Agent, in the name of the Collateral
Agent and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 105% of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (ii) provide a letter of credit, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to L/C Issuers, issued by an Acceptable Bank to the Collateral Agent as beneficiary in an undrawn face amount equal to 105% of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and
unpaid interest thereon or (iii) elect to have an Other Reserve established by the Co-Collateral Agents in respect of such amount. Such deposits shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
Obligations under this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments
shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense (provided that such cash collateral shall be invested solely in investments that provide for preservation of capital), such
deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse the L/C Issuers for L/C Disbursements for which they
have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to
the consent of the Required Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to deposit cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount
(to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower (i) within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived and (ii) promptly upon the payment in full of all the Obligations and the
reduction of the aggregate L/C Exposure to zero. If the Borrower is required to provide cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.06(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and
to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.06(b). 
 Section 2.04. Swingline Loans. 
 (a) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate Swingline Exposure exceeding
the Swingline Limit or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Exposures exceeding an amount equal to (A) the lesser of (1) the aggregate Commitments at such time, (2) the Borrowing Base at such time and (3) the
Facilities Reduction Amount at such time, minus (B) the Availability Block, minus (C) the Specified Reserves at such time, plus (D) the Overadvance Maximum Amount at such time, plus (E) the Special
Agent Loan Exposure at such time; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan; 

  

 48 

 
provided, further, that the Swingline Lender may not make any Swingline Loan in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it
receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 4.02 are not satisfied and ending when such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. If any Lender is
a Defaulting Lender, the principal amount of any Swingline Loan requested by the Borrower shall be deemed to be reduced by such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the requested Swingline Loan. In connection with the making of any
Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender may but shall not be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied or waived. Each Swingline Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan
and must be repaid in full on the earliest of (i) the funding date of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans and (ii) the Maturity Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Swingline Loans repaid may
be reborrowed under this clause (a). 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. In order to request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall give to the
Administrative Agent a notice to be received not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day of the proposed borrowing, which may be made in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 duly completed (a “Swingline
Request”) or by telephone if confirmed promptly but, in any event, prior to such borrowing, with such a Swingline Request. In addition, if any Committed Loan Notice requests a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the Swingline Lender
may, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in Section 2.02, make a Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Revolving Borrowing, and the aggregate amount of the corresponding
proposed Borrowing shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount of such Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Swingline Lender of the details of the requested Swingline Loan. Upon receipt of such notice and
subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender may make a Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by making the proceeds thereof available to the Administrative Agent and, in turn, the Administrative Agent shall make such proceeds
available to the Borrower on the date set forth in the relevant Swingline Request. 
 (c) Refinancing Swingline Loans. The Swingline
Lender may at any time forward a demand to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt, forward to each Revolving Lender) that each Revolving Lender pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline
Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all or a portion of the outstanding Swingline Loans. Subject to Section 2.13(h), each Revolving Lender shall pay such Applicable Percentage to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swingline Lender. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such payment (other than during the continuation of any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f)), such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving
Loan to the Borrower, which, upon receipt of such payment by the Swingline Lender from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to refinance such Swingline Loan. In addition, regardless of whether any such demand
is made, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f), each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each Swingline Loan in an amount
equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan. If any payment made by any Revolving Lender as a result of any such demand is not deemed a Revolving Loan, such payment shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of such
participation. Such participation shall not be otherwise required to be funded. Upon receipt by the Swingline Lender of any payment from any Revolving Lender pursuant to this clause (c) with respect to any portion of any Swingline Loan, the
Swingline Lender shall promptly pay over to such Revolving Lender all payments of principal (to the extent received after such payment by such Revolving Lender) and interest (to the extent accrued with respect to periods after such payment) received
by the Swingline Lender with respect to such portion. 
  

 49 

 (d) Obligation to Fund Absolute. Each Revolving Lender’s obligations pursuant to clause
(c) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including (A) the existence of any setoff, claim,
abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person may have against the Swingline Lender, any other Secured Party or any other Person, (B) the failure of any condition precedent set forth
in Section 4.02 to be satisfied or the failure of the Borrower to deliver any notice set forth in Section 2.02(a) (each of which requirements the Revolving Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) and (C) any adverse change in
the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party. 
 Section 2.05. Special Agent Loans. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section 2.08), the Administrative Agent may, with (A) the approval of the
Required Lenders or (B) if the Administrative Agent holds more than 50% of the Commitments, the approval of at least one other Lender, from time to time during the Availability Period after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default
(and notwithstanding that any conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 are not satisfied at the time), make Special Agent Loans to the Borrower where the Administrative Agent determines that such Special Agent Loans are necessary
or desirable (i) to preserve or protect any ABL Collateral, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or to maximize the amount of, repayment by the Loan Parties of the Loans and other Obligations or (iii) to pay any costs, fees and
expenses, or any amounts due to any L/C Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it, in each case, that are payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of
the Special Agent Loans at any time outstanding will not result in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Exposures exceeding an amount equal to (A) the lesser of (1) the aggregate Commitments at such time, (2) the Borrowing Base at
such time and (3) the Facilities Reduction Amount at such time, minus (B) the Availability Block, minus (C) the Specified Reserves at such time, plus (D) the Special Agent Loan Maximum Amount at such time,
plus (E) the Overadvance Loan Exposure at such time. The Borrower and each Revolving Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to make the Special Agent Loans at such time or times as the Administrative Agent determines pursuant
to the immediately preceding sentence, and to disburse the proceeds thereof in such manner as shall reasonably be determined by the Administrative Agent (including by making such proceeds available to a third party on behalf of the Borrower). Unless
the Borrower shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written notice to the contrary, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on each date of making of a Special Agent Loan that the representations and warranties of
the Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article V or in any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such
date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties by their terms relate to an earlier date (in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on such date that such representations and warranties are true
and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date). 
 (b) Participations. The Administrative Agent may at any time
forward a demand that each Revolving Lender pay to the Administrative Agent, for its account as the lender of the Special Agent Loans, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all or a portion of the outstanding Special Agent Loans.
Each Revolving Lender shall pay such Applicable Percentage to the Administrative Agent for its account as the lender of the Special Agent Loans. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such payment (other than during the continuation of any
Event of Default under Section 8.01(f)), such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower, which, upon receipt of such payment by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to

  

 50 

 
refinance such Special Agent Loan. In addition, regardless of whether any such demand is made, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under
Section 8.01(f), each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each Special Agent Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such
Special Agent Loan. If any payment made by any Revolving Lender as a result of any such demand is not deemed a Revolving Loan, such payment shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of such participation. Such participation shall not be otherwise
required to be funded. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from any Revolving Lender pursuant to this clause (c) with respect to any portion of any Special Agent Loan, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to such
Revolving Lender all payments of principal (to the extent received after such payment by such Revolving Lender) and interest (to the extent accrued with respect to periods after such payment) received by the Administrative Agent with respect to such
portion. 
 Section 2.06. Prepayments. 
 (a) Optional. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.06(a), the Borrower may, upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a prepayment of a Swingline Loan,
the Swingline Lender), at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans (other than the Supplemental Loan) in whole or in part; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m.
three Business Days prior to the proposed date of prepayment in the case of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and one Business Day prior to the proposed date of prepayment in the case of prepayment of Base Rate Loans (or, in the case of any
Special Agent Loan, such shorter notice as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent), and (ii) any such prepayment in part shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, in the case of
any Special Agent Loan, such smaller amounts as shall be agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify
each Lender of its receipt of each such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans or Special Agent Loans), and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage thereof). Any such prepayment notice given by the Borrower shall be in writing and shall be irrevocable, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that the Borrower
may rescind any such notice of prepayment of all of the Loans in full if the notice of such prepayment stated that it was conditioned on the occurrence of a specified event and such event shall not have occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Supplemental Loan may not be prepaid unless all Loans other than the Supplemental Loan have been paid and satisfied in full and all Commitments have been terminated, unless such prepayment is made from the proceeds of the Incremental Facility. It is
understood that forgiveness by the Supplemental Loan Lender of all or a portion of the Supplemental Loan or repayment of all or a portion of the Supplemental Loan by issuance of the common stock of the Borrower shall not be a prepayment hereunder
(including for purposes of Section 2.07(c)). 
 (b) Mandatory. 
 (i) In the event and on each date that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Exposures exceeds an amount equal to (A) the lesser of
(1) the aggregate Commitments at such time, (2) the Borrowing Base at such time and (3) the Facilities Reduction Amount at such time, minus (B) the Availability Block, minus (C) the Specified Reserves,
plus (D) the Overadvance Maximum Amount at such time, plus (E) the Special Agent Loan Maximum Amount at such time, the Borrower shall: first, repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Loans (or a combination
thereof) and second, after all Revolving Borrowings and Swingline Loans have been repaid in full, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(l), 

  

 51 

 
in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any repayment or prepayment required to be made pursuant to this
paragraph due to (x) a reduction by the Administrative Agent of the Overadvance Maximum Amount or the Special Agent Loan Maximum Amount or (y) the Borrowing Base in effect at any time, as determined by the Administrative Agent, being less
than the amount set forth as the “Borrowing Base” in the Borrowing Base Certificate most recently delivered by the Borrower prior to such time pursuant to Section 2.15(a), 4.01(a)(xi) or 6.17(a) (other than, in
the case of clause (y), as a result of any Designated Subsidiary ceasing to be such pursuant to Section 2.15(b) or the consummation of any Disposition), the Borrower shall not be required to make any repayment or prepayment pursuant to
this paragraph until the fifth Business Day after the date of notice of such reduction, or of such deficiency, to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent. Any repayment or prepayment made pursuant to this paragraph shall not, in itself, result in a
reduction of any Commitment. 
 (ii) If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries Disposes of any ABL Collateral in a
Disposition referred to in Section 7.05(g), 7.05(h) or 7.05(i), the Borrower shall repay the Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest accrued
and unpaid thereon and (B) the sum of (1) the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect to ABL Collateral as a result of any such Disposition and (2) the amount of any non-cash proceeds received with respect to ABL Collateral as a
result of any such Disposition valued, in the case of Indebtedness, at par. Any repayment or prepayment under this paragraph shall be made at such time as shall be determined by the Borrower; provided, that, with respect to any Net Cash
Proceeds required to be applied to any such repayment or prepayment, such repayment or prepayment shall be made prior to the time when such Net Cash Proceeds would otherwise become “Excess Proceeds” under and as defined in the New
Indenture (or any other indenture governing any Indebtedness of the Borrower), or would otherwise become subject to the requirement that they be applied to make an offer to purchase the New Subordinated Notes (or any refinancing Indebtedness in
respect thereof). 
 (iii) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06(b) (but subject to
the proviso set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) above), with respect to any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans required to be made hereunder, the Borrower in its sole discretion may, in lieu of prepaying such Loans on the date due, deposit, no
later than such date due, into a Cash Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to the amount of such required prepayment (including any accrued interest). The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed (without any further action by or
notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply the amounts so deposited to the prepayment of such Loans and accrued interest thereon in accordance with this Section 2.06(b) on the last day of the applicable Interest
Period (or, if earlier, the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing). 
 (c) Generally. Each
prepayment of a Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05 and
shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. 
 Section 2.07. Termination, Reduction and Increase of
Commitments. 
 (a) Optional Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate or
from time to time permanently reduce the Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction,
(ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an 

  

 52 

 
aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the
Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and any concurrent reimbursement of L/C Disbursements and repayment of Borrowings, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Exposures would exceed (A) the aggregate Commitments at such time, minus
(B) the Availability Block. Any termination or reduction notice pursuant to this clause (a) shall be in writing and shall be irrevocable; provided that the Borrower may rescind any such notice of termination of all of the
Commitments if the notice of such termination stated that it was conditioned on the occurrence of a specified event and such event shall not have occurred. 
 (b) Automatic Termination. The Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. The obligation of any L/C Issuer to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit shall terminate on the
Maturity Date. 
 (c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders
of any termination or reduction of the Commitments under Section 2.07(a) or 2.07(b). Upon any reduction of any of the Commitments, the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such
reduction amount. All fees accrued on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced to, but excluding, the date of any such termination or reduction shall be payable on the effective date of such termination or reduction. In addition to any
other fees accrued thereon, upon any termination or reduction of the Commitments (or any prepayment of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Facility with the proceeds of a new credit facility whether or not the Commitments are terminated or
reduced) on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay the Applicable Premium on the effective date of such termination or reduction (or such prepayment). 
 (d) Increase of Commitments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall
promptly deliver a copy thereof to each Lender) executed by the Borrower and one or more financial institutions (the “Increasing Lenders”), which may include any Lender, cause new Commitments to be extended by the Increasing
Lenders (or cause the Commitments of the Increasing Lenders that are already Lenders to be increased, as the case may be) in an amount for each Increasing Lender (which shall not be less than $5,000,000) set forth in such notice; provided,
that (i) the new Commitments and increases in existing Commitments pursuant to this paragraph shall not be greater than $103,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement and shall not be less than $15,000,000 (or any portion of
such $103,000,000 aggregate amount remaining unused) for any such increase, (ii) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) and (iii) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall become a party to this Agreement by completing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a duly executed accession agreement in a form satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “Accession Agreement”). Any Incremental Facility (as defined below) shall have the same terms, and be subject to the same Loan Documents, as the Commitments existing
immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Incremental Facility. The Borrower shall first seek any new Commitments from the existing Revolving Lenders hereunder and then, to the extent not provided by such existing Lenders hereunder, from one or
more financial institutions that are not Lenders hereunder, provided, that no Commitment of any Lender may be increased without the consent of such Lender. Any new Commitments and increases in Commitments shall become effective on the date
specified in the applicable notices delivered pursuant to this paragraph (but not prior to, for any Increasing Lender that is not already a Lender, execution and delivery by such Increasing Lender of an Accession Agreement). Upon the effectiveness
of any Accession Agreement to which any Increasing Lender is a party, such Increasing Lender shall thereafter 

  

 53 

 
be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges and subject to all obligations of a Lender hereunder.
Upon the effectiveness of any New Commitments or increases in existing Commitments, Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the Commitments of the Increasing Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of or
increase in Commitments pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective unless (A) on a pro forma basis for the initial Borrowing under any such Incremental Facility and the application of the proceeds therefrom, (i) no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.17 as if an Excess Availability Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing, computed as of
the last day of the most recently ended period of the Borrower for which financial statements have been provided to the Administrative Agent and (iii) the Borrower’s Excess Availability is equal to or greater than the Excess Availability
Threshold, (B) to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered under Section 4.01(a)(iii), (iv), (v), (vi),
(vii) and (viii), giving effect to such increase, and (C) on the effective date of such increase, the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(b), 4.02(c) and 4.02(d) shall be satisfied (with all references
in such Sections to a Credit Extension being deemed to be references to such extension of or increase in Commitments). On the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) of any extension of or increase in Commitments
pursuant to this paragraph (an “Incremental Facility”), (1) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Borrowings outstanding (the “Initial Borrowings”) immediately prior to the Commitment
Increase on the Increase Effective Date shall be deemed to be paid, (2) each Increasing Lender that shall have had a Commitment prior to the Commitment Increase shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount in Dollars equal
to the difference between (I) the product of (x) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) multiplied by (y) the amount of each Subsequent Borrowing (as hereinafter defined)
and (II) the product of (x) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase) multiplied by (y) the amount of each Initial Borrowing, (3) each Increasing Lender that shall not have
had a Commitment prior to the Commitment Increase shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount in Dollars equal to the product of (I) such Increasing Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to
the Commitment Increase) multiplied by (II) the amount of each Subsequent Borrowing, (4) after it receives the funds specified in clauses (2) and (3) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender the portion of such funds
that is equal to the difference between (I) the product of (x) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase) multiplied by (y) the amount of each Initial Borrowing and (II) the
product of (x) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) multiplied by (y) the amount of each Subsequent Borrowing, (5) after the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have made new Revolving Borrowings (the “Subsequent Borrowings”) in amounts equal to the amounts of the Initial Borrowings and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a borrowing
request delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.02, (6) each Lender shall be deemed to hold its Applicable Percentage of each Subsequent Borrowing (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment
Increase) and (7) the Borrower shall pay each Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on its Loans comprising the Initial Borrowings. The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (1) above shall be subject to compensation by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05 if the Increase Effective Date occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period of any Initial Borrowing relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the proceeds of any
Incremental Facility shall be applied first, to prepay the outstanding Supplemental Loan and second, in accordance with Section 6.12. 
 Section 2.08. Repayment of Loans. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (a) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (i) the then-unpaid principal amount 

  

 54 

 
of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Maturity Date and (ii) the then-unpaid principal amount of each Overadvance Loan of such Lender on the
earlier of the Maturity Date and the date that is the first Business Day after the 15th day after such Overadvance Loan is made, (b) to the Swingline Lender the then-unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity
Date and the tenth Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made, (c) to the Administrative Agent the then-unpaid principal amount of each Special Agent Loan on the 30th day after such Special Agent Loan is made and (d) subject to
Section 2.02A(b) and Section 2.13(g), to the Supplemental Loan Lender, the then-unpaid principal amount of the Supplemental Loan on the Maturity Date. 
 Section 2.09. Interest. 
 (a)
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest
Period plus the Applicable Rate, (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing or conversion date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate, and (iii) the Supplemental Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate.
All Swingline Loans and all Special Agent Loans shall be Base Rate Loans. 
 (b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing
under Section 8.01(f) or Section 8.01(g) and without notice of any kind, or so long as any other Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and at the election of the Administrative Agent (or upon the written
request of the Required Lenders), then, to the extent permitted by Law, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (i) in the case of
principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to this Section 2.09 plus 2.00% per annum and (ii) in all other cases, at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would be applicable to a Base Rate Loan
plus 2.00% per annum. 
 (c) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest to the
extent permitted by applicable law) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
 (d) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on
each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 
 Section 2.10. Fees. 
 (a) Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to each Revolving Lender a commitment fee (the “Unused Commitment
Fee”) in accordance with its Applicable Percentage on the actual daily amount by which the total Commitments of Lenders exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and (ii) the
outstanding amount of the L/C Exposure for all Letters of Credit (the “Unused Commitment”) from the Closing Date through the Maturity Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate, payable
in arrears (x) on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and (y) on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) Letter
of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a participation fee with respect to its participations and 

  

 55 

 
commitment to participate in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at 4.00% per annum on the average daily amount of such Lender’s L/C
Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on
which such Lender ceases to have any L/C Exposure (the “Participation Fees”) and (ii) to each L/C Issuer a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate separately agreed to by such L/C Issuer and the Borrower, on the
average daily amount of the portion of the L/C Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date
to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any L/C Exposure (the “Fronting Fees”), as well as each L/C Issuer’s standard fees with respect to the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation Fees and Fronting Fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be
payable on (a) the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date and (b) the Maturity Date; provided that any such fees accruing after the Maturity Date shall be
payable on demand. 
 (c) Agent Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, a fee in the amount
and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. 
 (d) Generally. Fees payable hereunder shall not be refundable under any
circumstances. 
 Section 2.11. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base
Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of interest and fees shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and
actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid. Each determination by the Administrative
Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 Section 2.12.
Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained
by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so
shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts
and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent (as set forth in the Register) shall control in the absence of manifest error. 
 (b) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to
such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all
times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.06) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein and its registered assigns. 
  

 56 

 Section 2.13. Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback; Administrative
Agent’s Authority to Request Borrowings; Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Generally. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be in
Dollars and shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after
2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on
the next following Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (b)
Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders
or any L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the
applicable Lenders or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding
the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Administrative Agent to
any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.13(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Administrative Agent’s Authority to Request Borrowings. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth herein, the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Borrower, request the making of
one or more Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans for the purpose of paying any interest, fees or other amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, any Lender or any of their Affiliates under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent may only request the making of Base Rate Loans, (ii) in the case of any such request for Revolving Loans, (A) the Administrative Agent shall have
notified the Revolving Lenders thereof (including as to the requested date and principal amount thereof) no later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested date of borrowing and (B) the borrowing of such Revolving Loans shall not be subject to the
minimum and multiple thresholds set forth in Section 2.02(a) and (iii) in the case of any such request for Swingline Loans, the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Swingline Lender thereof (including as to the requested
date and principal amount thereof) no later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested date of borrowing, or such later time as shall have been agreed to by the Swingline Lender. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to make such requests in
the Administrative Agent’s discretion, and to apply the proceeds of the requested Loans for the purposes set forth in this Section. 
 (d) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are
not used as contemplated by this Article II because the conditions precedent thereto set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like
funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 
  

 57 

 (e) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to
fund participations required under Section 2.03(d), Section 2.04(c) or Section 2.05(b) to make payments pursuant to Section 9.08 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan,
to fund any such participation or to make any such payments on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to so make its Loan, fund its participation or make its payments. 
 (f) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 (g) Application of Prepayment. The Administrative Agent shall apply each prepayment of Loans elected by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.06(a) or required by Section 2.06(b), (i) first, to prepay the principal of the Swingline Loans and Special Agent Loans, pro rata, (ii) second, to prepay the principal of the Revolving Loans that
are Base Rate Loans, (iii) third, to prepay the principal of the Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans, (iv) fourth, to pay any other Obligations then due and payable (other than Obligations in respect of the
Supplemental Loan) and (v) fifth, to pay any Obligation in respect of the Supplemental Loan. 
 (h) Settlement. At least
once each calendar week or more frequently at Administrative Agent’s election (each, a “Settlement Date”), Administrative Agent shall advise each Revolving Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of principal, interest and fees paid for the benefit of Revolving Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan. Provided that each Revolving Lender has funded all payments required to be made by it and funded all purchases of
participations required to be funded by it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of such Settlement Date, Administrative Agent shall pay to each Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of principal,
interest and fees paid by the Borrower since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Revolving Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the
next Business Day following each Settlement Date. To the extent that any Revolving Lender has failed to fund all such payments or failed to fund the purchase of all such participations required to be funded by such Revolving Lender pursuant to this
Agreement, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding shortfall against such non-funding Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of all payments received from the Borrower. 
 Section 2.14. Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or any right in respect
of the ABL Collateral or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Disbursements, Swingline Loans or Special Agent Loans held by it, resulting in such
Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall
(a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Disbursements, Swingline Loans and Special Agent Loans of the other Lenders, or make such
other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in L/C
Disbursements, Swingline Loans and Special Agent Loans, provided that: 
 (i) if any such participations or subparticipations
are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 
  

 58 

 (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not be construed to apply to
(A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or
subparticipations in L/C Disbursements, Swingline Loans and Special Agent Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.14
shall apply) or (C) any payment made to a Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 10.12(b). 
 The Borrower consents to
the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation or subparticipation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and
counterclaim with respect to such participation or subparticipation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount thereof. 
 Section 2.15. Concerning the Designated Subsidiaries. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time designate any Domestic Subsidiary that is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary as a Designated Subsidiary
by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a notice to that effect, provided that the effectiveness of such designation is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: 
 (i) If requested by the Co-Collateral Agents, the Administrative Agent shall have received the results of a field examination and
appraisal (prepared by a third party appraisal firm selected by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower) with respect to the assets of such Domestic Subsidiary of the type that would be included in the Borrowing Base, and the
results of such examination and appraisal shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Co-Collateral Agents. 
 (ii) The
Administrative Agent shall have received a completed Borrowing Base Certificate, dated as of the date of such designation but calculated as of the date of the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 6.17(a)(i) (and giving effect to the designation of such Domestic Subsidiary as a Designated Subsidiary), and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, which certificate shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Administrative Agent. 
 (iii) The Guarantee and Collateral Requirement with respect to such Domestic
Subsidiary shall have been satisfied. 
 (b) Upon any Designated Subsidiary ceasing to be a Domestic Subsidiary that is a Wholly-Owned
Subsidiary, such Designated Subsidiary shall automatically cease to be a Designated Subsidiary hereunder. The Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days’ prior notice (or such shorter notice as may be agreed to
by the Administrative Agent) of any Designated Subsidiary ceasing to be a Domestic Subsidiary that is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary and, promptly upon request therefor by the Administrative Agent, shall provide to the Administrative Agent 

  

 59 

 
such information as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent to determine the portion of the Borrowing Base then in effect that is
attributable to the assets of such Designated Subsidiary. 
 Section 2.16. Cash Management Systems. Within 45 days after the
Closing Date (or such later date as may be agreed by the Co-Collateral Agents), each of the Loan Parties shall establish and maintain until the Maturity Date, the cash management systems described in this Section 2.16 (the
“Cash Management Systems”). 
 (a) Within 45 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as may be agreed by the
Co-Collateral Agents), each Loan Party shall (i) establish blocked accounts (“Blocked Accounts”) at one or more of the banks set forth in Schedule 2.16(a)(A) and (ii) subject to subsection (h) below,
deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all cash, checks, drafts or other similar items of payment relating to or constituting payments made in respect of
any and all ABL Collateral into one or more Blocked Accounts in such Loan Party’s name and at a bank identified in Schedule 2.16(a)(A) (each, a “Relationship Bank”). Within 45 days after the Closing Date (or such
later date as may be agreed by the Co-Collateral Agents), each Loan Party shall have established a concentration account in its name (each a “Concentration Account” and collectively, the “Concentration
Accounts”) at the bank or banks that shall be designated as the Concentration Account bank for each such Loan Party in Schedule 2.16(a)(B) (each a “Concentration Account Bank” and collectively, the
“Concentration Account Banks”), which banks shall be reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent. 
 (b) Each Loan
Party may maintain, in its name, an account (each a “Disbursement Account” and collectively, the “Disbursement Accounts”) at a bank reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent into which Collateral Agent
shall, from time to time, deposit proceeds of the Loans made to such Loan Party pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.02A, 2.04 and 2.05 for use by such Loan Party solely in accordance with the provisions of
Section 7.10. 
 (c) As promptly as practicable, and in any event within 45 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as
may be agreed by the Co-Collateral Agents), each Concentration Account Bank, each bank where a Disbursement Account is maintained and all other Relationship Banks, shall have entered into Deposit Account Control Agreements with Collateral Agent, for
the benefit of itself and Lenders, and the applicable Loan Party, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Co-Collateral Agents, each such Deposit Account Control Agreement shall provide, among
other things, that (i) all items of payment deposited in such account and proceeds thereof deposited in the applicable Concentration Account are held by such bank as agent or bailee-in-possession for Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and
Lenders, (ii) the bank executing such Deposit Account Control Agreement has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against such account, as the case may be, other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly
related to the administration of such account and for returned checks or other items of payment, and (iii) (A) with respect to banks at which a Blocked Account is maintained, such bank agrees to forward, so long as a Default, an Event of
Default or an Excess Availability Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing, immediately all amounts in each Blocked Account to such Loan Party’s Concentration Account Bank and to commence the process of daily sweeps from such Blocked
Account into the applicable Concentration Account and (B) with respect to each Concentration Account Bank, such bank agrees to immediately forward, so long as a Default, an Event of Default or an Excess Availability Triggering Event has
occurred and is continuing, all amounts received in the applicable Concentration Account to the Collection Account through daily sweeps from such Concentration Account into the Collection Account. It is understood and agreed that the Excess
Availability Triggering Event shall be deemed to have occurred and be continuing on the Closing Date. No Loan Party shall accumulate or maintain cash in 

  

 60 

 
Disbursement Accounts or payroll accounts as of any date of determination in excess of checks or other items of payment outstanding against such accounts as
of that date and amounts necessary to meet minimum balance requirements, unless otherwise agreed by the Co-Collateral Agents in their reasonable discretion. 
 (d) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Loan Parties may amend Schedule 2.16(a)(A) to add or replace a Relationship Bank or Blocked Account or to replace any Concentration
Account or any Disbursement Account; provided, that (i) Collateral Agent shall have consented in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in advance to the opening of such account with the relevant bank and
(ii) subject to subsection (h) below, prior to the time of the opening of such account, the applicable Loan Party and such bank shall have executed and delivered to Collateral Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent. Loan Parties shall close any of their accounts (and establish replacement accounts in accordance with the foregoing sentence) promptly and in any event within 30 days following notice from
Collateral Agent that the creditworthiness of any bank holding an account is no longer acceptable in Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, or as promptly as practicable and in any event within sixty (60) days following notice from
Collateral Agent that the operating performance, funds transfer or availability procedures or performance with respect to accounts of the bank holding such accounts or Collateral Agent’s liability under any Deposit Account Control Agreement
with such bank is no longer acceptable in Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment. 
 (e) The Blocked Accounts, Disbursement Accounts and
the Concentration Accounts shall be cash collateral accounts, with all cash, checks and other similar items of payment in such accounts securing payment of the Loans and all other Obligations, and, subject to subsection (h) below, in which each
Loan Party shall have granted a Lien to Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, pursuant to the ABL Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. 
 (f) All amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall be deemed received by Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 2.13(a) and shall be applied (and allocated) by Collateral Agent in accordance with
Section 2.13(g). In no event shall any amount be so applied unless and until such amount shall have been credited in immediately available funds to the Collection Account. 
 (g) Each Loan Party shall and shall cause each of its Affiliates to (i) hold in trust for Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders,
all checks, cash and other items of payment representing proceeds of any ABL Collateral received by such Loan Party or any such Affiliate, and (ii) within one (1) Business Day after receipt by such Loan Party or any such Affiliate of any
such checks, cash or other items of payment, deposit the same into a Blocked Account of such Loan Party. Each Loan Party on behalf of itself and each Affiliate thereof acknowledges and agrees that all cash, checks or other items of payment
constituting proceeds of ABL Collateral are part of the ABL Collateral. All proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any ABL Collateral, shall be deposited directly into the applicable Blocked Accounts. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no deposit account established or maintained by any Loan Party (i) solely as a disbursement
account for payroll; (ii) the average daily balance in which does not exceed at any time $1,000,000 in the case of any one such account, or, in aggregate, $5,000,000, in the case of all such accounts; (iii) into which funds are deposited
pursuant to ERISA or any Plan or any other similar trust account; (iv) holding solely the proceeds of any Non-ABL Collateral; or (v) such other accounts (including, without limitation, local deposit accounts) as reasonably determined by
Collateral Agent in its discretion, shall be required to be subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement; provided, that with respect to any such local deposit account described in clause (v), 

  

 61 

 
such Loan Party shall, within two (2) Business Days of the deposit of any funds into such local deposit account, transfer or deposit such funds in
excess of minimum balance requirements into a Concentration Account.

 ARTICLE III 
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 Section 3.01. Taxes. 
 (a)
Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) an Agent, a Lender or an L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any
Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The
Borrower shall indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) paid by such Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto
(provided that such penalties, interests and expenses are not attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment, setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation and basis for such amount, delivered to the Borrower by an Agent (other than the
Administrative Agent), a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Change in Place of Organization. The Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount to,
or to indemnify, any Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the extent such Agent, such Lender or L/C Issuer becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the date on which such Agent, such Lender or L/C Issuer becomes a party to this
Agreement as a result of a change in the place of organization of such Agent, such Lender or L/C Issuer, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required by the Borrower (and provided that nothing in this paragraph
(d) shall be construed as relieving the Borrower from any obligation to make such payments or indemnification in the event of a Change in Law, including a Change in Law after the date of such change of place of organization). 
  

 62 

 (e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting
such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (f) Status of Lenders. Any
Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower or the relevant Governmental Authority (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine
whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. 
 Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing: 
 (i) any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or to such Persons as they
may reasonably designate (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (A) duly completed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, 
 (B) duly completed originals of IRS Form W 8ECI, 
 (C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(A) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly completed originals of IRS Form W 8BEN, or 
 (D) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or reduction in United States Federal withholding
tax (including any successor form to those referenced in Sections 3.01(f)(A)-(C)) duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or
deduction required to be made, and 
  

 63 

 (ii) any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent) a duly completed IRS Form W-9 (or successor form thereto) or shall otherwise prove that it is exempt from backup withholding. 
 (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer becomes aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 3.01, such Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Borrower of the availability of such refund claim and, within 30 days after receipt of a request by the Borrower,
make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund. If any Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines, in its reasonable 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 3.01, 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 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, 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 such Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to
the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer in the event such Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund
to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the
Borrower or any other Person. 
 Section 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender determines in good faith that any Change in Law has made
it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based
upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to
the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all
Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and amounts due pursuant to Section 3.05, if any. 
 Section 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine, for any reason in connection with any request for a making of
or conversion to, or continuation as, Eurodollar Rate Loans, that (a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or
(b) the Eurodollar Rate 

  

 64 

 
for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding
or maintaining such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice, (i) any Eurodollar Rate Loan
requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as a Base Rate Loan, (ii) any Revolving Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to, or continued as, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
be converted to or continued as Base Rate Loans and (iii) each outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the end of the Interest Period then applicable thereto, shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan. Each determination by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 Section 3.04. Increased Costs; Reserves on
Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 (a) Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; 
 (ii) subject any
Lender or any L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit, Swingline Loan or Special Agent Loan or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the
basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or any L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and any Excluded Tax); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement
or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender, any Letter of Credit or any participation in a Letter of Credit, Swingline Loan or Special Agent Loan; 
 and
the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), to increase the cost to such Lender of participating in any
Letter of Credit, Swingline Loan or Special Agent Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to so participate), or to increase the cost to such L/C Issuer of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to issue any
Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay
to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any
Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s capital
or on the capital of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans or Special
Agent Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change
in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or 

  

 65 

 
such L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from
time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company for any
such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be (which certificate shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation thereof), as specified in paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section 3.04 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer
to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 Section 3.05. Compensation for Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for
and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or
prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 
 (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar
Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or 
 (c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the
last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.12; 
 excluding any loss of anticipated
profits, but including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any
customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 
 For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the
Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the London Interbank Offered Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other
borrowing in the London interbank eurocurrency market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
  

 66 

 Section 3.06. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
 (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to
pay, or the Borrower delivers to such Lender and the Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth reasons it reasonably anticipates that the Borrower will be required to pay, any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for
the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its
Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost
or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.02 or 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.12. 
 Section 3.07. Survival. All of the Borrower’s and Lenders’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of
the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Information Memorandum nor any report, financial statement, certificate or other written or
formally presented information furnished by or on behalf of the Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any
other Loan Document (in each case taken as a whole and as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed
by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being understood that actual results may vary from such projections, and such variations may be material. 
 Section 5.16. Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries own, or possess the right to use, all of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent

in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 
  

 79 

 (b) take all reasonable action to maintain all rights, privileges, permits, licenses and franchises
necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business, except to the extent the failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

 Section 6.10. Books and Records. Maintain proper books of record and account, in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of all
material financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a manner that permits the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

(except to the limited extent provided in Section 10.06(b) with respect to the Register), with duties that are entirely administrative in nature, notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent”, the terms

under any Loan Document other than as expressly set forth therein or any role as agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, L/C Issuer or any other Secured Party and (iii) shall have no implied functions, responsibilities, duties,

proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Secured Parties. 
 Section 9.03. Use of Discretion. (a) No Action without Instructions. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any
discretion or take, or to omit to take, any action, including with respect to enforcement or collection, except any action it is required to take or omit to take (i) under any Loan Document or (ii) pursuant to instructions from the

 (b) Right Not to
Follow Certain Instructions. Notwithstanding clause (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take, or to omit to take, any action (i) unless, upon demand, the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification
satisfactory to it from the Lenders (or, to the extent applicable and acceptable to the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party) against all Liabilities that, by reason of such action or omission, may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent or any Related Person thereof or (ii) that is, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent or its counsel, contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirement of Law. 
  

 102 

 Section 9.04. Delegation of Rights and Duties. The Administrative Agent may, upon any term or
condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Loan Document by or through any trustee, co-agent, employee,
attorney-in-fact and any other Person (including any Secured Party). Any such Person shall benefit from this Article IX to the extent provided by the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.05. Reliance and Liability. (a) The Administrative Agent may, without incurring any liability hereunder, (i) treat the payee
of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 10.06, (ii) rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 10.06, (iii) consult with any
of its Related Persons and, whether or not selected by it, any other advisors, accountants and other experts (including advisors to, and accountants and experts engaged by, any Loan Party) and (iv) rely and act upon any document and information
(including those transmitted by Electronic Transmission) and any telephone message or conversation, in each case believed by it to be genuine and transmitted, signed or otherwise authenticated by the appropriate parties. 
 (b) No Agent and no Related Persons of any Agent shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with
any Loan Document, and each Lender, L/C Issuer, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Loan Parties hereby waive and shall not assert any right, claim or cause of action based thereon, except to the extent of liabilities resulting primarily from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the duties expressly set forth
herein. Without limiting the foregoing, no Agent: 
 (i) shall be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or
omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of the Required Lenders or for the actions or omissions of any of its Related Persons selected with reasonable care (other than employees, officers and directors of the Administrative Agent, when
acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent); 
 (ii) shall be responsible to any Secured Party for the due execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document;

information, representation or warranty made or furnished by or on behalf of any Related Person or any Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein or any other document or information with respect to any
Loan Party, whether or not transmitted by any Agent (except for documents expressly required under any Loan Document to be transmitted to the Lenders) or omitted to be transmitted by any Agent, including as to completeness, accuracy, scope or
adequacy thereof, or for the scope, nature or results of any due diligence performed by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan Documents; and 
 (iv) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Loan Document, whether any condition set forth in any Loan Document is satisfied or waived, as to the
financial condition of any Loan Party or as to the existence or 

  

 103 

 
continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence
or continuation unless it has received a notice from the Borrower, any Lender or L/C Issuer describing such Default or Event of Default clearly labeled “notice of default” (in which case the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice
of such receipt to all Lenders); 
 and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, each Lender, L/C Issuer, the Borrower
and the Subsidiary Loan Parties hereby waives and agrees not to assert (and each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Loan Parties shall cause each other Loan Party to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action it might have
against any Agent based thereon. 
 Section 9.06. Each Agent Individually. Each Agent and each Affiliate of such Agent may make
loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire Stock and Stock Equivalents of, engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent and may receive separate fees and other
payments therefor. To the extent any Agent or any of its Affiliates makes any Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and
liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender”, “Revolving Lender” and “Required Lender” and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include, without limitation,
such Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender, Revolving Lender, or as one of the Required Lenders, respectively. Any Lender, other than the Administrative Agent or a Co-Collateral Agent, that is designated
(on the cover page of this Agreement, by separate agreement or otherwise) as an agent or an arranger of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Document other than those specifically stated in such Loan
Document or those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender. 
 Section 9.07. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Lender or L/C Issuer or any of their Related Persons or upon any document
(including the Disclosure Documents) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by any Agent or any of such Agent’s Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Loan
Party and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders or L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty
or responsibility to provide any Lender or L/C Issuer with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan
Party that may come in to the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons. 
 Section 9.08. Expenses;
Indemnities. (a) Each Lender (other than the Supplemental Loan Lender) agrees to reimburse each Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party) promptly upon demand for such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility of any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Loan Party) that may be incurred
by such Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy,
restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document. 
  

 104 

 (b) Each Lender (other than the Supplemental Loan Lender) further agrees to indemnify each Agent and each
of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Applicable Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility of the Liabilities (including taxes, interests and penalties imposed
for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to on or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of,
in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Agent or any of its Related
Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to such Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. 
 Section 9.09. Resignation of Agent or L/C Issuer. (a) Any Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the
Lenders and the Borrower and, unless a later date is set forth in such notice, such resignation shall be effective on the earlier of (i) the date that a successor Agent has been appointed or (ii) the date that is 30 days after the date
such notice is delivered. If an Agent delivers any such notice, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent (other than a successor Co-Collateral Agent to Bank of America). If, within 30 days after the retiring Agent
having given notice of resignation, no successor Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders (it being
understood that in the event that Bank of America resigns as a Co-Collateral Agent, Bank of America may not have such right to appoint a successor Co-Collateral Agent). Each appointment under this clause (a) shall be subject to the prior
consent of the Borrower, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required during the continuance of a Default. 
 (b)
Effective immediately upon its resignation, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent until a successor
Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder (provided, that in the event that Bank of America resigns as a Co-Collateral Agent, GE Capital (or its successor) shall perform the duties of the Co-Collateral Agent), (iii) the
retiring Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Agent was, or because such Agent had been, validly
acting as an Agent under the Loan Documents and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 9.03, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as such successor
Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as such successor Agent, a successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent
under the Loan Documents. 
 (c) Any L/C Issuer may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Administrative Agent,
effective on the later of (i) 30 days after delivery of such notice to Administrative Agent (unless the L/C Issuer is also being paid in full in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) or (ii) the date set forth in such notice. Upon such
resignation, the L/C Issuer shall remain an L/C Issuer and shall retain its rights and obligations in its capacity as such (other than any obligation to issue Letters of Credit but including the right to receive fees or to have Lenders participate
in any L/C Reimbursement Obligation thereof) with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer prior to the date of such resignation and shall otherwise be discharged from all other duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.

  

 105 

 Section 9.10. Release of Collateral or Guarantors. Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby consents
to the release and hereby directs the Collateral Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (b)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following: 
 (a) any Subsidiary of the Borrower from its guaranty of any Obligation of any Loan Party if all of the Securities of such Subsidiary owned by any Loan Party are Sold in a Sale permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a
waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such Sale, such Subsidiary would not be required to guaranty any Obligations pursuant to Section 6.15; and 
 (b) any Lien held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against (i) any ABL Collateral that is Sold by a Loan Party in a
Sale permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent all Liens required to be granted in such ABL Collateral pursuant to Section 6.15 after giving effect to such Sale have been granted,
(ii) any property subject to a Lien permitted hereunder in reliance upon Section 7.01(i) and (iii) all of the ABL Collateral and all Loan Parties, upon (A) termination of the Commitments, (B) payment and satisfaction
in full of all Loans, all L/C Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable by the holder of such Obligation and (C) deposit of cash collateral with
respect to all contingent Obligations (or, in the case of any L/C Reimbursement Obligation or any Secured Hedging Counterparty’s exposure under the relevant Hedging Agreement, a back-up letter of credit has been issued), in amounts and on terms
and conditions and with parties reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and each Indemnitee that is owed such Obligations. 
 Each
Lender and L/C Issuer hereby directs the Collateral Agent, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from the Borrower, to execute and deliver or file such documents and to perform other actions reasonably
necessary to release the guaranties and Liens when and as directed in this Section 9.10. 
 Section 9.11. Additional
Secured Parties. The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the ABL Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender or L/C Issuer as long as, by
accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among the Agents and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) this Article IX and Section 2.14, Section 10.07 and Section 10.08 and the decisions and actions of the Administrative Agent and the Required
Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall
be bound by Section 9.08 only to the extent of Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the ABL Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party
thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of Applicable Percentage or similar concept, (b) except as set forth specifically herein, each of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion,
without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the ABL Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in
jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such 

  

 106 

 
Obligation and (c) except as set forth specifically herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require
or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the ABL Collateral or under any Loan Document. 
 ARTICLE X

shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall: 
 (a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition
precedent set forth in Article IV, or waiver of any Default or Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments, shall not constitute an extension or increase of the Commitment of any Lender);

the Participation Fees) payable hereunder, or forgive, waive or excuse any such payment, repayment or reimbursement or any amount thereof, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that a
waiver of any Default or Event Default shall not constitute a postponement of any date fixed for the payment of principal, interest or fees); 
 (c) reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Disbursement, or reduce the Participation Fees or any other fees or premiums payable hereunder, in each case without the written consent of

any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest or Participation Fees at the Default Rate; 
 (d) change Section 2.13(g) or
2.14 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the prior written consent of each Lender, or change Section 2.13(g) or Section 8.03 in a manner that would alter the priority
of payment specified therein; 
 (e) change any provision of this Section 10.01 or the percentage set forth in the definition of

securing Obligations under any Secured Hedging Agreement in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each Secured Hedging Counterparty party to the relevant Secured Hedging Agreement or, in the case of a
Secured Hedging Agreement provided or arranged by the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof, the Administrative Agent (it being understood that a transaction permitted under Section 7.05 shall not be deemed to constitute a release
of all or substantially all of the ABL Collateral from the Liens of the Collateral Documents securing Obligations under any Secured Hedging Agreement); 
 (h) release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Loan Parties from their Guarantees of Obligations under any Loan Document pursuant to the ABL Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (except as expressly provided in

Affiliate thereof, the Administrative Agent (it being understood that a transaction permitted under Section 7.05 shall not be deemed to constitute a release of all or substantially all of the Guarantees of the Obligations under any
Secured Hedging Agreement pursuant to the ABL Guarantee and Collateral Agreement); or 
 (j) reduce the Dollar amount specified in the
definition of the term “Availability Block,” 
 in each case without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender; and
provided further that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by an L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of such L/C Issuer or
the Swingline Lender, respectively, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents or the Syndication Agent in
addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) no amendment,
waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender, increase the advance rates used in computing the Borrowing Base. 
 In
addition, without the prior written consent of Supplemental Loan Lender, no Loan Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, and no new Loan Document may be entered into, to the extent such amendment, supplement or other
modification or new document would (i) amend or modify (x) any of the provisions of Section 2.02A or (y) any covenant contained in Sections 7.01 or 7.02, (ii) extend any due date for any payment of
principal in respect of the Supplemental Loan, including the extension of the Maturity Date as in effect on the date hereof, (iii) reduce the rate or extend

(vi) extend the Maturity Date with respect to the Obligations other than the Supplemental Loan by more than six (6) months, (vii) amend or modify any Loan Document that contractually subordinates the Liens securing the Obligations to
any other debt of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party, or (viii) increase the Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory advance rate percentages as set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base by more than five percent (5%). 
 In the event that (a) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested the Lenders to consent to a departure from or waiver of any provision
of any Loan Document (other than the L/C Reimbursement Agreement) or to agree to any amendment thereof, (b) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires under this Section 10.01 the agreement of all affected Lenders or all
Lenders and (c) the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender that does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed to be a “Non-Consenting
Lender.” The Borrower shall be entitled to replace any Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.12. No amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any Loan Document altering the
ratable treatment of Obligations arising under any Secured Hedging Agreement resulting in such Obligations not maintaining their ranking in right of payment immediately after principal of the Loans (other than the Supplemental Loan) or resulting in
Obligations owing to any Secured Hedging Counterparty being unsecured (other than releases of Liens in accordance with the terms hereof), in each case in a manner adverse to any Secured Hedging Counterparty, shall be effective without the written
consent of such Secured Hedging Counterparty or, in the case of a Secured Hedging Agreement provided or arranged by the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof, the Administrative Agent.

Parties, each Supplemental Loan Participant and each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception,
disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions. 
 (b) Signatures. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.02(a), (i)(A) no posting to any E-System shall be denied legal effect merely because it is made electronically, (B) each E-Signature on any such posting shall
be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “signature” and (C) each such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “writing”, in each case including pursuant to any Loan Document, any
applicable provision of any UCC, the federal Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and any substantive or procedural Requirement of Law governing such subject matter, (ii) each such
posting that is not readily capable of bearing either a signature or a reproduction of a signature may be signed, and shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or logically associating with such posting, an E-Signature, upon which each Secured Party
and Loan Party may rely and assume the authenticity thereof, (iii) each such posting containing a signature, a reproduction of a signature or an E-Signature shall, for all intents and purposes, have the same effect and weight as a signed paper
original and (iv) each party hereto or beneficiary hereto agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of any posting on any E-System or E-Signature on any such posting under the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law requiring
certain documents to be in writing or signed; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit such party’s or beneficiary’s right to contest whether any posting to any E-System or E-Signature has been altered after transmission.

 (c) Separate Agreements. All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and subject to, in addition to Section 10.02 and
this Section 10.02A, separate terms and conditions posted or referenced in such E-System and related Contractual Obligations executed by Secured Parties and Loan Parties in connection with the use of such E-System. 
  

 110 

 (d) Limitation of Liability. All E-Systems and Electronic Transmissions shall be provided “as
is” and “as available”. None of Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any E-Systems or Electronic Transmission, and each disclaims all liability for errors or omissions
therein. No warranty of any kind is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with any E-Systems or Electronic Communication, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects. Each of the Loan Parties, each Supplemental Loan Participant and each Secured Party agrees that the Administrative Agent has no responsibility for maintaining or

hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided hereunder and under each other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law or
otherwise. 
 Section 10.04. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 
 (a) Costs and Expenses. Any action taken by any Loan Party under or with respect to any Loan Document or any Secured Hedging
Agreement, even if required under any Loan Document or any Secured Hedging Agreement or at the request of any Secured Party, shall be at the expense of such Loan Party, and no Secured Party or Supplemental Loan Participant shall be required under
any Loan Document or any Secured Hedging Agreement to reimburse any Loan Party therefor except as expressly provided therein. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse upon demand (i) each Agent, the Supplemental Loan Lender and each
Supplemental Loan Participant for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with the investigation, development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, interpretation or
administration of, any modification of any term of or termination of, any Loan Document, any commitment or proposal letter therefor, any other document prepared in connection therewith or the consummation and administration of any transaction
contemplated therein, in each case including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents or such Related Persons, out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred

rate per individual charged by the Co-Collateral Agents for their examiners) and (iii) each Agent, its Related Persons, each Supplemental Loan Participant and each Lender and L/C Issuer for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with
(A) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out”, (B) the enforcement or preservation of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, any Obligation, with respect to
the ABL Collateral or any other related right or remedy or (C) the commencement, defense, conduct of, intervention in, or the taking of any other action with respect to, any proceeding (including any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) related

(excluding allocated costs of internal counsel). 
  

 111 

 (b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend
each Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, each Secured Hedging Counterparty, each Supplemental Loan Participant and each of their respective Related Persons (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against all
Liabilities (including brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) any
Loan Document, any Secured Hedging Agreement, any Disclosure Document, any Obligation (or the repayment thereof), any Letter of Credit, the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Loan or the use of any Letter of Credit, the Transactions,
(ii) any commitment letter, proposal letter or term sheet with any Person or any Contractual Obligation, arrangement or understanding with any broker, finder or consultant, in each case entered into by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any
Affiliate of any of them in connection with any of the matters described in clause (i) and any Contractual Obligation entered into in connection with any E-Systems or other Electronic Transmissions, (iii) any actual or prospective
investigation, litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of Securities or creditors (and including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees in any case), whether or
not any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirement of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract,
tort or otherwise, or (iv) any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (iii) (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”);
provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any liability under this Section 10.04 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified
Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable
judgment or order. Furthermore, each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Loan Parties waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive and not assert against any Indemnitee, any right of
contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person. 
 (c) Without
limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” includes all Environmental Liabilities, including those arising from, or otherwise involving, any property of any Related Person or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to property or
natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such property or natural resource or any property on or contiguous to any real property of any Related Person, whether or not, with
respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor-in-interest to any Related Person or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of any
Related Person through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such Environmental Liabilities (i) are incurred solely following foreclosure by any Secured Party or following any Secured Party having become the
successor-in-interest to any Loan Party and (ii) are attributable solely to acts of such Indemnitee. 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential
Damages, Etc. In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). Each of the Agents, Lenders and
Loan Parties hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
  

 112 

 (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be payable not later than
ten Business Days after demand therefor. 
 (f) Survival. The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the
resignation or removal of any Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
 Section 10.05. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any
L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not
been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C
Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.06. Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders and the Agents. No rights or obligations of the Borrower hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or
delegated by the Borrower without the prior written consent of each Lender. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Register. The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender
(with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Commitments or Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the
Commitments and Loans, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.06, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans or any portion thereof, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and
binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.
The Borrower hereby designates GE Capital to serve as the Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 10.06(b), and the Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent GE Capital serves in
such capacity, GE Capital and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and Affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.” 
  

 113 

 (c) The Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the
Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitments or Loans shall be effective, in each case, unless and until recorded in the
Register following receipt of an Assignment and Assumption effecting the assignment thereof, together with the required forms and certificates regarding tax matters and any fees payable in connection with such assignment, in each case, as provided
in Section 10.06(e). Each assignment shall be recorded in the Register on the Business Day the Assignment and Assumption is received by the Administrative Agent, if received by 12:00 p.m., and on the following Business Day if received
after such time, prompt notice thereof shall be provided to the Borrower and a copy of such Assignment and Assumption shall be maintained, as applicable. The date of such recordation of an assignment shall be referred to herein as the
“Assignment Effective Date”. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding
on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitment or Loans. 
 (d) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall
have the right at any time to assign to any Eligible Assignee all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Commitment and Loans or of any other Obligations; provided that
(i) except in the case of assignments made by GE Capital and any of its Affiliates, the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
(ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person meeting the criteria of clause (a) of the definition of the term Eligible Assignee, or any assignment made at a time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person meeting the criteria of clause (a) of the definition of the term
Eligible Assignee or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iv) each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 (e) Mechanics. Assignments and Assumptions of Loans and Commitments shall be effected via an electronic settlement system
designated by the Administrative Agent (or if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, via a manual execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Assumption). Assignments made pursuant to the foregoing provision
shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. In connection with all assignments there shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax
withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment and Assumption may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 3.01(f), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except
that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (i) in connection with an assignment by or to GE Capital or any of its Affiliates or (ii) in the case of an Assignee that is already a Lender or is an Affiliate or Related Fund
of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender). 
 (f) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon
execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Loans represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has 

  

 114 

 
experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the Commitments and Loans; and (iii) it will make or invest in
its Commitment and Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitment or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this
Section 10.06, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control). 
 (g) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.06, as of the Assignment Effective Date with respect to any Assignment and Assumption, (i) the assignee
thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Commitments as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a Lender for all purposes hereof; (ii) the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which expressly survive the termination hereof) and be released from its
obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date;
provided, anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (A) an L/C Issuer shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it hereunder until the
cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and (B) such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect
to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); and (iii) the Commitments and Applicable Percentages shall be modified to reflect such assignment. 
 (h) Participations. 
 (i) Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its other Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or other
Obligations. 
 (ii) The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation,
shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or consent described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such participant. 

(iii) The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05
to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(d); provided that (A) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01
or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant and (B) a participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the
benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01 as though it were a Lender;
provided further that, except as specifically set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of this sentence, nothing herein shall require any notice to the Borrower or any other Person in connection with the sale of any participation. To
the extent permitted by Law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided (1) such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it
were a Lender and (2) the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant. 
  

 115 

 (i) Certain Other Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other assignment or
participation permitted pursuant to this Section 10.06, any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans and the other Obligations owed to such Lender, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender, including to any
Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the FRB and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no Lender, as between the Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its
obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge; and provided further, that in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to
require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder. 
 Section 10.07. Non-public Information;
Confidentiality. (a) Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it may receive material non-public information hereunder concerning the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and Securities and agrees to use such information in
compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and Contractual Obligations and applicable Requirements of Law (including United States federal and state security laws and regulations). 
 (b) Each Lender, L/C Issuer and each Agent agrees to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the
confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document, except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the Borrower’s consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes available to such
Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or
requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority, (v) in consultation with the Borrower, to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements or in any tombstone or other advertising materials (and the Loan Parties
consent to the publication of such tombstone or other advertising materials by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their Related Persons), (vi) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar
organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency or otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify borrowers, (vii) to current or prospective assignees, SPVs grantees of any
option described in Section 10.06 or participants, direct or contractual counterparties to any Hedging Agreement permitted hereunder and to their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, participants,
counterparties or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 10.07 and (viii) in connection with the exercise of any remedy under any Loan Document. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of this Section 10.07 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Loan Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 10.07 shall govern. 
 Section 10.08. Right of Setoff. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Affiliate (including each branch
office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by the Borrower and the Subsidiary Loan Parties), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any
time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or the Subsidiary Loan Parties against any Obligation of any Loan Party now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Secured Hedging Agreement, whether or not any demand was made 

  

 116 

 
under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and
each L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 10.08 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and their Affiliates and
other Secured Parties may have. 
 Section 10.09. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Integration. (a) This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of
this Agreement by facsimile or by an electronically mailed scanned copy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Except as provided in Article IV, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. 
 (b) This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Agency Fee Letter constitute the entire agreement among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. 
 Section 10.10. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in
connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, regardless of any investigation made
by any Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. 
 Section 10.11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect
of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 Section 10.12. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower
is required to pay or delivers to such Lender and the Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth reasons as to why it reasonably anticipates that it will be required to pay, and such Lender and the Administrative Agent agree with such reasons,
any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, if any Lender ceases to make Eurodollar Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in Section 3.02
or 3.04, if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions 

  

 117 

 
contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 
 (a) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the registration and processing fee specified in Section 10.06(e); 
 (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and all interest
accrued thereon, (ii) all accrued and unpaid Participation Fees owing to such Lender and (iii) all other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05)
from the assignee (to the extent of the amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii)) or the Borrower (in the case of the amounts referred to in clause (iii)); 
 (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a
reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 
 (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law.

any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or any other agreement, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, this
Agreement or any other agreement (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and except to the extent that such Obligations have been explicitly modified pursuant to an amendment or waiver that has become effective in
accordance with Section 10.01), (iii) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations or (iv) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the
risk of such Loan Party or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Loan Party as a matter of law or equity. 
 (e) Each Loan Party further
agrees that its obligations under this Section 10.17 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any
Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Loan Party or otherwise. 
 (f) In furtherance of the
foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Agent or any other Secured Party may have at law or in equity against any Loan Party by virtue of this Section 10.17, upon the failure of any other Loan Party to pay any
Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Loan Party hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by any Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be
paid, in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. 
  

 120 

 (g) If by virtue of the provisions set forth herein, any Loan Party is required to pay and shall pay
Obligations of another Loan Party, all rights of such Loan Party against such other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior
indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations.

default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; or (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Loan Party or otherwise operate as a discharge of any
Loan Party as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations). Each Loan Party expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold security in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and any Secured Hedging Agreement for the payment and performance of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the
order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other Loan Parties or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any Loan Party hereunder.

  

 5 

 (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense based on or
arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than
the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and any Secured Hedging Agreement by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation
with the Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party hereunder except to the extent
the Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable
Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Loan Party against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security. 
 SECTION 2.04. Reinstatement. Each Loan Party agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or
otherwise. 
 SECTION 2.05. Agreement to Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other
right that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Loan Party by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether
at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Loan Party hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Collateral Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties in cash the amount of
such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by any Loan Party of any sums to the Collateral Agent as provided above, all rights of such Loan Party against the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation,
contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article V. 
 SECTION 2.06. Information.
Each Loan Party assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s and each other Loan Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Loan Party assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Loan Party of
information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks. 
 SECTION 2.07. Limitation of Guarantee. Any term
or provision of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Secured Hedging Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Obligations for which any Loan Party shall be liable shall not exceed the maximum amount
for which such Loan Party can be liable without rendering this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Secured Hedging Agreement, as it relates to such Loan Party, subject to avoidance under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or
fraudulent transfer (including Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law) (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect (a) to all other
liabilities of such Loan Party, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under such Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Loan Party in respect of intercompany Indebtedness to the Borrower to the extent
that such Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Loan Party hereunder) and (b) to the value as assets of such Loan Party (as determined under the applicable provisions of such Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of
any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, 

  

 6 

 
indemnity or similar rights held by such Loan Party pursuant to (i) applicable Requirements of Law, (ii) Article V of this Agreement or
(iii) any other Contractual Obligations providing for an equitable allocation among such Loan Party and other Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Borrower of obligations arising under this Agreement or other guaranties of the Obligations by such
parties. 
 ARTICLE III  
 Security Interests in Personal Property 
 SECTION 3.01. Security Interest. (a) As security for the payment or
performance when due, as the case may be, in full of the Obligations, each Loan Party hereby pledges to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its
successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest (the “Security Interest”) in, all right, title or interest in, to and under any and all of the ABL Collateral now owned or at any time
hereafter acquired by such Loan Party or in which such Loan Party now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest. 
 (b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements with respect to the ABL Collateral or any part thereof and
amendments thereto and continuations thereof that contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including whether such Loan Party
is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Loan Party. Each Loan Party agrees to provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request. Without limiting the foregoing,
each Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction financing statements that describe the ABL Collateral as “all assets, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired” of such Loan Party, or words of similar effect as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail. Each Loan Party also ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial
financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. 
 (c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and
shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Loan Party with respect to or arising out of the ABL Collateral (other than the duties expressly created
hereunder). 
 SECTION 3.02. Representations and Warranties. The Loan Parties jointly and severally represent and warrant to the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that: 
 (a) Each Loan Party has good and valid rights in and title to the ABL Collateral with
respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Security Interest in such ABL Collateral pursuant hereto and to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person, other than any consent or approval that has been obtained and is in full force and effect, except to
the extent that the failure to have such rights, title, power or authority could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) The Perfection Certificate has been duly prepared, completed and executed and the information set forth therein, including the exact legal name and
place of organization of each Loan Party, is correct and complete as of the Closing Date. The Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations prepared by the Collateral Agent based upon the

  

 7 

 
information provided to the Collateral Agent in the Perfection Certificate for filing in each governmental, municipal or other office specified in Schedules
2A and 2B to the Perfection Certificate (or specified by notice from the Borrower to the Collateral Agent after the Closing Date in the case of filings, recordings or registrations required by Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement), are all the
filings, recordings and registrations that are necessary to publish notice of, perfect and protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, in respect of all ABL Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or
subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable Law with respect to the filing of continuation statements. 
 (c) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the ABL Collateral securing the payment and performance of the
Obligations and (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(b), a perfected security interest in all ABL Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or
analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law in such jurisdictions. The Security Interest is and shall be prior to
any other Lien on any of the ABL Collateral, other than Permitted Liens (but not Term Liens) that have priority as a matter of law. 
 (d)
The ABL Collateral is owned by the Loan Parties free and clear of any Lien, except for Permitted Liens. None of the Loan Parties has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the Uniform
Commercial Code or any other applicable Law covering any ABL Collateral or (ii) any assignment in which any Loan Party assigns any ABL Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any ABL Collateral with any foreign
governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Permitted Liens. 
 SECTION 3.03. Covenants. (a) Each Loan Party agrees to maintain, at its own cost and expense, such complete and accurate records with respect
to the ABL Collateral owned by it as is consistent with its current practices and its reasonable business judgment, and, at such time or times as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, promptly to prepare and deliver to the Collateral Agent an
updated schedule or schedules in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent showing the identity, amount and location of any and all ABL Collateral. 
 (b) Each Loan Party shall, at its own expense, take any and all actions consistent with its current practices and its reasonable business judgment to defend title to the ABL Collateral against all Persons and to
defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent in the ABL Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien that is not a Permitted Lien. 
 (c) Each Loan Party agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably
request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the ABL Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any
promissory note or other instrument, such note or instrument shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. 
  

 8 

 (d) The Collateral Agent and such Persons as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate shall have the
right to inspect the ABL Collateral, all records related thereto (and to make extracts and copies from such records) and the premises upon which any of the ABL Collateral is located, to discuss the Loan Parties’ affairs with the officers of the
Loan Parties and their independent accountants and to verify under reasonable procedures, in accordance with and as provided by Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement, the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or
any other matter relating to, the ABL Collateral. In the case of Accounts or other ABL Collateral in the possession of any third Person, the Collateral Agent and such Persons as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate shall have the right to
verify, at any time, the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status thereof by contacting Account Debtors or the third Person possessing such ABL Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification. The Loan Parties shall
be required to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent or any other Person in connection with any inspection or verification referred to in this paragraph. 
 (e) At its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any
time levied or placed on the ABL Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, may obtain insurance and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the ABL Collateral to the extent any Loan Party fails to do
so as required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement, and each Loan Party jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing
authorization; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Loan Party from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other
promises of any Loan Party with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests, insurance or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein, in the other Loan Documents or any Secured Hedging Agreement. 

(f) If at any time any Loan Party shall take a security interest in any property with a value in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate of an Account
Debtor or any other Person to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Loan Party shall promptly assign such security interest to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Such assignment need not be filed of public
record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest. 
 (g) Each Loan Party shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract,
agreement or instrument relating to the ABL Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and the Loan Parties jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties from
and against any and all liability for such performance. 
 (h) If and to the extent requested by the Collateral Agent, each Loan Party agrees
that it shall notify each warehouseman, agent, bailee or processor that possesses or controls any Inventory of such Loan Party of the Security Interest and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from such warehouseman, agent, bailee
or processor an acknowledgement in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, that such warehouseman, agent, bailee or processor holds such Inventory for the benefit of the Collateral Agent subject to the
Security Interest and shall act upon the instructions of the Collateral Agent without further consent from any Loan Party, and that such warehouseman, agent, bailee or processor further agrees to fully subordinate any Lien held by it with respect to
such Inventory, whether arising by operation of Law or otherwise, to the Security Interest. 
  

 9 

 (i) None of the Loan Parties will, without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, grant any
extension of the time of payment of any Accounts included in the ABL Collateral, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof or grant any credit,
discount or allowance whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, compromises, settlements, releases, credits, discounts or allowances granted or made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with its current practices and in accordance with
such prudent and standard practice used in industries that are the same as or similar to those in which such Loan Party is engaged. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall, at its option,
have the exclusive right to settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with Account Debtors or grant any credits, discounts or allowances. 
 (j) The Loan Parties, at their own expense, shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance policies with respect to the ABL Collateral in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 6.08 of the
Credit Agreement. Each Loan Party shall cause any insurance policies maintained by it with respect to any ABL Collateral to be endorsed or otherwise amended to include the Collateral Agent as an additional insured or loss payee, as appropriate, and
to provide that no cancellation, material addition in amount or material change in coverage shall be effective until after 30 days’ notice thereof to the Collateral Agent. Each Loan Party irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the
Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Loan Party’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling
and adjusting claims in respect of ABL Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Loan Party on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all
determinations and decisions necessary with respect thereto. In the event that any Loan Party at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating
thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Loan Parties hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take
any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other
charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Loan Parties to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby. 
 (k) Each Loan Party shall maintain customary and prudent records of its Chattel Paper and its books, records and documents evidencing or pertaining thereto. 
 (l) Each Loan Party agrees to notify promptly the Collateral Agent if any material portion of the ABL Collateral owned or held by such Loan Party is
damaged or destroyed. 
 (m) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent an updated
Perfection Certificate certified by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower reflecting all changes since the date of the Perfection Certificate delivered on the Closing Date or the date of the most recent Perfection Certificate delivered pursuant to
this paragraph. 
 SECTION 3.04. Other Actions. In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the
ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Security Interest, each Loan Party agrees, in each case at such Loan Party’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following ABL Collateral: 
 (a) Instruments. If any Loan Party shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments that constitute ABL Collateral, such Loan Party shall
promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such undated instruments of endorsement, transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

  

 10 

 (b) Deposit Accounts. For each Deposit Account that any Loan Party at any time opens or maintains,
such Loan Party shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (c) Investment
Property. If any Investment Property now or hereafter acquired by any Loan Party is held by such Loan Party or its nominee through a securities intermediary, and such Investment Property constitutes ABL Collateral, such Loan Party shall
immediately notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the Collateral Agent’s request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such securities intermediary to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from the Collateral Agent to such securities intermediary as to such security entitlements without further consent of any Loan Party or
such nominee, or (ii) in the case of Financial Assets or other Investment Property held through a securities intermediary, use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to
such Investment Property, with the Loan Party being permitted, only with the consent of the Collateral Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such Investment Property. The Collateral Agent agrees with each of the Loan Parties
that the Collateral Agent shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such issuer or securities intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by any Loan
Party, except during the continuance of an Availability Triggering Event or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect to any such investment and withdrawal rights, would occur. The provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply to (A) any Financial Assets credited to a securities account for which the Collateral Agent is the securities intermediary and (B) any securities account the value of securities or other Investment Property in which does
not exceed $1,000,000 for any such account individually, and $5,000,000 for all such accounts in aggregate, at any time. 
 (d) Electronic
Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any Loan Party at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction of an amount in excess of $1,000,000, such Loan Party shall promptly notify the Collateral
Agent thereof and, at the request of the Collateral Agent, shall take such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent control under New York UCC Section 9-105 of such electronic chattel paper or
control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable
record. The Collateral Agent agrees with such Loan Party that the Collateral Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the Collateral Agent’s
loss of control, for the Loan Party to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under UCC Section 9-105 or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any
action by such Loan Party with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record. 
  

 11 

 (e) Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Loan Party is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of
credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Loan Party in a face amount in excess of $1,000,000, and such letter of credit constitutes ABL Collateral, such Loan Party shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request and
option of the Collateral Agent, such Loan Party shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of
such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under such letter of credit or (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee
beneficiary of such letter of credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under such letter of credit are to be paid to the applicable Loan Party unless an Event of Default has occurred or is
continuing. 
 ARTICLE IV  
 Remedies 
 SECTION 4.01. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, each Loan Party agrees to deliver, on demand, each item of ABL Collateral to the Collateral Agent or any Person designated by the Collateral Agent, and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take possession of the
ABL Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the ABL Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the ABL Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law, in each case at the same or different times, with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Loan Party agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the ABL Collateral at a public or private sale or at any
broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do
so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the ABL Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon
consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the ABL Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of ABL Collateral shall hold the property sold
absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Loan Party, and each Loan Party hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Loan Party now has or may at any time in the future
have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. 
 The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Loan Parties at
least 10 days’ written notice (which each Loan Party agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of
ABL Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be
made and the day on which the ABL Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the
Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the ABL Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and
absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any ABL Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such ABL Collateral shall have been given. The
Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at
the time and place to which 

  

 12 

 
the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the ABL Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the ABL Collateral so sold may
be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take
up and pay for the ABL Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such ABL Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any
Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Loan Party (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by
law), the ABL Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Loan Party as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party
may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Loan Party therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the ABL Collateral or any portion thereof shall be
treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Loan Party shall be entitled to the return of the ABL Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact
that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral
Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the ABL Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a
proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in
other jurisdictions. 
 SECTION 4.02. Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or
sale of ABL Collateral, including any ABL Collateral consisting of cash, as set out in Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or
balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of ABL Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt by the Collateral Agent or by the officer
making the sale of such proceeds shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the ABL Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid
over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. 
 ARTICLE V  
 Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination 
 SECTION 5.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Loan Parties may have under applicable Law (but subject to Section 5.03), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the
event a payment of an Obligation of the Borrower shall be made by any Subsidiary Loan Party under this Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such Subsidiary Loan Party for the full amount of such payment and such Subsidiary Loan Party shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Subsidiary Loan Party shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document
to satisfy in whole or in part an Obligation of the Borrower owed to any Secured Party, the Borrower shall indemnify such Subsidiary Loan Party in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

  

 13 

 SECTION 5.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Loan Party (a
“Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 5.03) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Subsidiary Loan Party hereunder in respect of any Obligation or assets of any other Subsidiary Loan Party
shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Obligation (other, in each case, than an Obligation for the incurrence of which such other Subsidiary Loan Party received fair and adequate consideration) and such other Subsidiary Loan
Party (the “Claiming Party”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 5.01, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the amount of such payment
or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall
be the aggregate net worth of all the Subsidiary Loan Parties on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Loan Party becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 6.14, the date of the supplement hereto executed and delivered by such
Subsidiary Loan Party). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party under Section 5.01 to the extent of such payment. 
 SECTION 5.03. Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Loan Parties under
Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable Law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of the
Borrower or any other Loan Party to make the payments required by Sections 5.01 and 5.02 (or any other payments required under applicable Law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Loan Party with respect to
its Obligations hereunder, and each Loan Party shall remain liable for the full amount of the Obligations of such Loan Party hereunder. 
 (b) Each Loan Party hereby agrees that all Indebtedness and other monetary obligations owed by it to any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations.

 ARTICLE VI  
 Miscellaneous 
 SECTION 6.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise
expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Loan Party shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in
Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 6.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent,
any other Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder, under any other Loan Document or any Secured Hedging Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent, any L/C Issuer and
the other Secured Parties hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or any Secured Hedging Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent, any other
Agent, any 

  

 14 

 
Arranger, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall
entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any
provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to
apply, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, subject to any consent (including any consent of the Required Lenders) required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement and the other terms of such Section. 
 SECTION 6.03. Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 10.04(a) of the Credit Agreement. 
 (b) Without
limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents or any Secured Hedging Agreement, each Loan Party jointly and severally agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Indemnitee (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
from and against all Liabilities (including brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a
result of the Indemnified Matters; provided, however, that a Loan Party shall not have any liability under this Section 6.03(b) to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability
with respect to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated
savings). Each of the parties hereto hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor
(except to the extent of liabilities resulting primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction). 
 (c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this
Section 6.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the
invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 6.03 shall be
payable promptly after written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 6.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the
parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Loan Party or the Collateral Agent that are contained in
this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. 
 SECTION 6.05. Survival of
Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and shall survive the execution 

  

 15 

 
and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
any Lender or any L/C Issuer and notwithstanding that any Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as
the Commitments have not expired or terminated. 
 SECTION 6.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement
may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page
to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (pdf) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Loan Party when a counterpart hereof
executed on behalf of such Loan Party shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Loan Party and the Collateral
Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Loan Party, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party shall have the
right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the ABL Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This
Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Loan Party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Loan Party without the approval of any other Loan Party and without affecting the
obligations of any other Loan Party hereunder. 
 SECTION 6.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 
 SECTION 6.08. Right of Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Agent, such
Lender, such L/C Issuer or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the Obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement owed to such Agent, such Lender or such L/C
Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and its
Affiliates under this Section 6.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Person may have. For the avoidance of doubt, any payments obtained by any Lender pursuant to the exercise of rights
under this Section 6.08 shall be subject to Section 2.02A and Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 6.09.

 SECTION 6.12. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of each
Loan Party hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Secured Hedging Agreement, any agreement with respect to any of the
Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any

proceedings relating to all or any of the ABL Collateral; (g) to notify, or to require any Loan Party to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any
agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner

 Exhibit I to 
 the ABL Guarantee and Collateral Agreement 
 SUPPLEMENT NO. ___ dated as of
[                    ], to the ABL Guarantee and Collateral Agreement dated as of August 28, 2009 (the “Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement”), among Spectrum Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), each subsidiary of the Borrower listed on Schedule I thereto (collectively, the “Subsidiary Loan
Parties”; the Subsidiary Loan Parties and the Borrower are referred to collectively herein as the “Loan Parties”) and General Electric Capital Corporation, as the Collateral Agent. 
 A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 28, 2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented, refinanced, replaced or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Lenders, General Electric Capital Corporation, as Administrative Agent, Co-Collateral Agent, Syndication Agent, Swingline
Lender, and Supplemental Loan Lender and Bank of America, N.A., as Co-Collateral Agent and L/C Issuer. 
 B. Capitalized terms used herein
and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement referred to therein. 
 C. The Loan Parties have entered into the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit. Section 6.14 of the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as Subsidiary Loan Parties by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The
undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as a Subsidiary Loan Party in
order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued. 
 Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.14 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as a Subsidiary Loan Party
and Loan Party thereunder (and accordingly, becomes a guarantor and a grantor thereunder), with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Subsidiary Loan Party, and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and
provisions of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement applicable to it as a Subsidiary Loan Party and a guarantor and a grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Loan Party
thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations does hereby (i) create and grant to the Collateral Agent,
its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in, to and under the ABL Collateral of the New Subsidiary, (b) guarantee the
Obligations as set forth in Article II of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and (c) authorize the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file in the applicable jurisdictions any initial financing statements with respect to
the ABL Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto and continuations thereof that contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or
amendment. Without limiting the foregoing, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction financing 

 
statements that describe the ABL Collateral as “all assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” of such Loan Party, or words of similar effect
as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail. Each reference to a “Subsidiary Loan Party” or a “Loan Party” in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 
 SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. 
 SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary
and the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (pdf) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of
this Supplement. 
 SECTION 4. The New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that set forth under its signature hereto, is the true and
correct legal name of the New Subsidiary, its jurisdiction of formation, the organizational identification number, if any, issued to it by its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office. 
 SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
 SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT, AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS SUPPLEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS SUPPLEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. THE PARTIES HERETO
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, THAT ANY OF THEM MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH
JURISDICTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL LEGAL PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS AND OTHER SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY KIND AND CONSENTS TO SUCH SERVICE IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITH RESPECT TO OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT BY ANY MEANS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, INCLUDING BY THE MAILING THEREOF (BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL,
POSTAGE PREPAID) TO THE ADDRESS OF SUCH PERSON SPECIFIED IN SECTION 10.13 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT (AND SHALL BE EFFECTIVE WHEN SUCH MAILING SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AS PROVIDED THEREIN). EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION
OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING 

 
CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 6 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY SECURED PARTY TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
REQUIREMENTS OF LAW OR COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 
 SECTION 7. Any
provision of this Supplement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof and of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the Credit Agreement; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions. 
 SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in
Section 6.01 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. 
 SECTION 9. The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for
its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent.
