purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Senior Subordinated Exchange Securities. 
 Upon consummation of the Exchange
Offer in accordance with this Section 2, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply, mutatis mutandis, solely with respect to Senior Subordinated Exchange Securities as to which Section 2(b)(iii) is applicable
and Senior Subordinated Exchange Securities held by Participating Broker-Dealers; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall have no further obligation to register Registrable Securities, or file any Registration
Statement in respect thereof (other than Senior Subordinated Exchange Securities as to which clause 2(b)(iii) hereof applies) pursuant to this Agreement. 

The Senior Subordinated Exchange Securities shall be issued under (i) the Indenture or (ii) an indenture identical in all
material respects to the Indenture and which, in either case, has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act or is exempt from such qualification and shall provide that the Senior Subordinated Exchange Securities shall not be subject to the

connection with the 
  

 7 

 
Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff.

 (b)    In the event that (i) the Issuer and the Guarantors determine that the Exchange Offer
Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not available or may not be completed as soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff, (ii) the
Exchange Offer is not for any other reason completed by the Exchange Offer Consummation Deadline or (iii) upon receipt of a written request (a “Shelf Request”) from any Holder representing that it holds Registrable Securities
that are or were ineligible to be exchanged in the Exchange Offer, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be filed as soon as practicable after such determination, date or Shelf Request, as the case
may be, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale of all the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof and to have such Shelf Registration Statement become effective. 

In the event that the Issuer and the Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause (iii) of the
preceding sentence, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to file and have become effective both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) with respect to all Registrable
Securities and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Securities held by the Holders after completion of the
Exchange Offer. 
 The Issuer and the Guarantors agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective until the expiration of the period referred to in Rule 144(b)(1) (or any similar rule then in force, but not Rule 144A) under the Securities Act with respect to the Registrable Securities included
therein or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (the “Shelf Effectiveness Period”). The
Issuer and the Guarantors further agree to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Issuer for such Shelf
Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder or if reasonably requested by a Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use their commercially
reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective, if required, and such Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable. The Issuer and the Guarantors agree to furnish to the Holders
of Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being filed with the SEC. 

(c)    (i)    Until such time as the Exchange Offer pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof has been
consummated and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, until the Shelf Registration Statement has become effective, if at any time the Issuer proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to
an underwritten offering by the Issuer for its own account or for the account of any of its respective securityholders of any debt securities of the Issuer (other than a Registration Statement on Form F-4, S-4 or S-8 or similar applicable form, or
an S-3 (or similar form used for employee-related sales), then the Issuer shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders of the Registrable Securities and each Lender (as defined in the Subordinated Bridge Loan Agreement) as soon
as practicable (but in no event less than 20 Business Days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities as each such

  

 8 

 
Holder may request (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method of distribution thereof) (a “Piggy-Back
Registration”); provided, however, that the Holders of Registrable Securities shall not have a right to a Piggy-Back Registration if the net proceeds from such proposed issuance would be used to redeem or repay in full all of
the Registrable Securities and the Loans (to the extent Loans have not been converted into Registrable Securities pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Subordinated Bridge Loan Agreement). The Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of such proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration to be included on the same terms and
conditions as any similar securities of the Issuer or any other securityholder included therein and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(c) by giving written
notice to the Issuer of its request to withdraw no later than five (5) Business Days before such Registration Statement becomes effective. The Issuer may withdraw a Piggy-Back Registration at any time prior to the time it becomes effective to
the extent that it has withdrawn the underlying Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(c); provided that the Issuer shall give prompt notice thereof to participating Holders. 

(ii)    No registration effected under this Section 2(c), and no failure to effect a registration under this
Section 2(c), shall relieve the Issuer of its obligation to effect a registration on behalf of the Holders as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 

(iii)    If the managing underwriter or underwriters of any offering described in this Section 2(c) notify the
Holders requesting inclusion of Registrable Securities in such offering, that the kind of securities that the Holders, the Issuer and any other Persons desiring to participate in such registration intend to include in such offering is such as to
adversely affect the success of such offering, the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering shall be reduced or excluded in their entirety as mutually agreed in good faith by the Holders and the Issuer. 

(d)    The Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant
to Section 2(a), 2(b) or 2(c) hereof. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant
to the Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (e)    An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to
Section 2(a) hereof and a Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC. A Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b)
hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC or is automatically effective upon filing with the SEC as provided by Rule 462 under the Securities Act. 

In the event that either the Exchange Offer is not completed on or prior to the Exchange Offer Consummation Deadline or the Shelf
Registration Statement, if required pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) or 2(b)(ii) hereof, does not become effective on or prior to the date that is 270 days after the Issue Date (or 360 days if the Issuer receives written notice that the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement is to be reviewed by the SEC) (the “Target Registration Date”), the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by 0.25% per annum on the principal

  

 9 

 
amount of such Registrable Securities for the first 90 days from and including such specified date and at a rate of 0.50% per annum on the principal amount of such Registrable Securities
thereafter until the Exchange Offer is completed or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, becomes effective or the Senior Subordinated Securities become freely tradable under the Securities Act, as the case may be. 

In the event that the Issuer receives a Shelf Request pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) and the Shelf Registration Statement required to
be filed thereby does not become effective by the later of (x) the Target Registration Date or (y) 90 days after the delivery of such Shelf Request (such later date, the “Shelf Additional Interest Date”), then the interest
rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by 0.25% per annum on the principal amount of such Registrable Securities for the first 90 days from and including such specified date and at a rate of 0.50% per annum on the principal
amount of such Registrable Securities thereafter until the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective or the Senior Subordinated Securities become freely tradable under the Securities Act. 

If the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, has become effective and thereafter either ceases to be
effective or the Prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable, in each case whether or not permitted by this Agreement, at any time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and such failure to remain effective or usable exists for more than 30
days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period, then the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by 0.25% per annum on the principal amount of such Registrable Securities for the first 90 days from and including
such 31st day in such 12-month period and at a rate of
0.50% per annum on the principal amount of such Registrable Securities thereafter until such date as the Shelf Registration Statement has again become effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable. 

Any additional interest required pursuant to this Section 2(e) may be paid in the form of additional Senior Subordinated Securities.
The Issuer shall notify the Trustee within one Business Day after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of which additional interest is required to be and within one Business Day after such additional interest ceases to accrue. Any
amounts of additional interest due pursuant to this Section 2(e) will be payable, at the Issuer’s option, in cash or by issuing new Senior Subordinated Securities in respect of such amount on each April 15 and October 15 (to the
holders of record on the April 1 and October 1 immediately preceding such dates), commencing with the first such date occurring after any such additional interest commences to accrue. The amount of additional interest will be determined by
multiplying the applicable additional interest rate by the principal amount of the Registrable Securities, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such additional interest rate was applicable during such period
(determined on the basis of a 360 day year comprised of twelve 30 day months and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed), and the denominator of which is 360. 

(f)    Without limiting the remedies available to the Holders, the Issuer and the Guarantors acknowledge that any
failure by the Issuer or the Guarantors to comply with their obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be
possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under
Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof. 
  

 10 

 (g)    The Issuer represents, warrants and covenants that it (including
its agents and representatives) will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any Free Writing Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders. 

3.    Registration Procedures. (a) In connection with their obligations pursuant to Sections 2(a), 2(b)
and 2(c) hereof, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall as soon as practicable: 
 (i)    prepare and file with
the SEC a Registration Statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form (x) shall be selected by the Issuer and the Guarantors, (y) shall, in the case of a Shelf Registration, be available for the sale of the
Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof and (z) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith; and use their
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective for the applicable period in accordance with Section 2 hereof; 

(ii)    prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as
may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable period in accordance with Section 2 hereof and cause each Prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement and, as so supplemented, to be filed
pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and keep each Prospectus current during the period described in Section 4(3) of and Rule 174 under the Securities Act that is applicable to transactions by brokers or dealers with respect to the

consent to the use of such Prospectus, preliminary prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law by each of the Holders of Registrable Securities and any such Underwriters in connection with the offering and
sale of the Registrable Securities covered by and in the manner described in such Prospectus, preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law; 

(iv)    use their commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities under all
applicable state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement shall reasonably request in writing by the time the applicable Registration Statement becomes effective;
cooperate with such Holders in connection with any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority; and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each Holder to complete
the disposition in each such jurisdiction of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided that neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall be required to (1) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in
securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (2) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (3) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not
so subject; 
  

 11 

 (v)    in the case of a Shelf Registration, notify each Holder of
Registrable Securities and counsel for such Holders promptly and, if requested by any such Holder or counsel, confirm such advice in writing (1) when a Registration Statement has become effective, when any post-effective amendment thereto has
been filed and becomes effective and when any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus has been filed, (2) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or
for additional information after the Registration Statement has become effective, (3) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of
any proceedings for that purpose, including the receipt by the Issuer of any notice of objection of the SEC to the use of a Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act,
(4) if, between the applicable effective date of a Shelf Registration Statement and the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the Issuer or any Guarantor contained in any
underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement or other similar agreement, if any, relating to an offering of such Registrable Securities cease to be true and correct in all material respects or if the Issuer or any Guarantor receives any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (5) of the happening of any event during the period a Registration
Statement is effective that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to make the
statements therein not misleading and (6) of any determination by the Issuer or any Guarantor that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus would be appropriate; 

(vi)    use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement or, in the case of a Shelf Registration, the resolution of any objection of the SEC pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2), including by filing an amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement on the proper form, as soon as
practicable and provide immediate notice to each Holder of the withdrawal of any such order or such resolution; 

(vii)    in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities, without charge, at
least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (without any documents incorporated therein by reference or exhibits thereto, unless requested); 

(viii)    in the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities to facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates in accordance with the terms of the Indenture representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends and enable such Registrable Securities to be issued in such
denominations and registered in such names (consistent with the provisions of the Indenture) as such Holders may reasonably request at least one Business Day prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities; 

(ix)    in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(a)(v)(5)
hereof, use their commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any
other required document so that, as thereafter delivered (or, to the extent permitted by law, made available) to purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements 
  

 12 

 
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the Issuer and the Guarantors shall notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to suspend use of the
Prospectus as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such an event, and such Holders hereby agree to suspend use of the Prospectus until the Issuer and the Guarantors have amended or supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement
or omission; 
 (x)     in the case of a Shelf Registration, a reasonable time prior to the filing of any
Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any amendment to a Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to a Prospectus or of any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or a Prospectus after initial
filing of a Registration Statement, provide copies of such document to the Holders of Registrable Securities and their counsel and make such of the representatives of the Issuer and the Guarantors as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders of
Registrable Securities or their counsel available for discussion of such document; and the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not, at any time after initial filing of a Registration Statement, use or file any Prospectus, any amendment of or supplement
to a Registration Statement or a Prospectus, or any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or a Prospectus, of which the Holders of Registrable Securities and their counsel shall not have previously been
advised and furnished a copy or to which the Holders of Registrable Securities or their counsel shall object; 
 (xi)
    obtain a CUSIP number for all Senior Subordinated Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be, not later than the initial effective date of a Registration Statement; 

(xii)     cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act in connection with the registration of
the Senior Subordinated Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be; cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for the Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with
the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and execute, and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the
SEC to enable the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; 
 (xiii)     in the case of a Shelf
Registration, make available for inspection by a representative of the Holders of the Registrable Securities (an “Inspector”), any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, any
attorneys and accountants designated by a majority of the Holders of Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Registration and any attorneys and accountants designated by such Underwriter, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner,
all pertinent financial and other records, documents and properties of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, and cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Issuer and the Guarantors to supply all information reasonably requested by any
such Inspector, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement; provided that if any such information is identified by the Issuer or any Guarantor in writing as being confidential or proprietary, each
Person receiving such information shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information (including, to the extent requested in writing by the Issuer or any Guarantor, executing and delivering a
customary confidentiality or similar agreement) to the extent such action is otherwise not inconsistent with, an impairment of or in derogation of the rights and interests of any Inspector, Holder or Underwriter; 

 

 13 

 (xiv)    in the case of a Shelf Registration, use their commercially
reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system on which similar securities issued or guaranteed by the Issuer or any Guarantor are then listed if requested by the
Majority Holders, to the extent such Registrable Securities satisfy applicable listing requirements; 

(xv)    if reasonably requested by any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement,
promptly include in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information with respect to such Holder as such Holder reasonably requests to be included therein and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such
post-effective amendment as soon as the Issuer has received notification of the matters to be so included in such filing; 

(xvi)    in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into such customary agreements and take all such other actions in
connection therewith (including those requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities including, but not limited to, an Underwritten Offering and in such connection, (1) to the extent possible, make such representations and warranties to the Holders and any Underwriters of such Registrable Securities with respect to
the business of the Issuer and its subsidiaries and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by
issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings and confirm the same if and when requested, (2) obtain opinions of counsel to the Issuer and the Guarantors (which counsel and opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Holders and such Underwriters and their respective counsel) addressed to each Underwriter of Registrable Securities, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings, (3) obtain
“comfort” letters from the independent registered public accounting firm of the Issuer and the Guarantors (and, if necessary, any other registered public accounting firm of any subsidiary of the Issuer or any Guarantor, or of any business
acquired by the Issuer or any Guarantor for which financial statements and financial data are or are required to be included in the Registration Statement) addressed to each Underwriter of Registrable Securities, such letters to be in customary form
and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings, including but not limited to financial information contained in any preliminary prospectus or Prospectus and
(4) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold or the Underwriters, and which are customarily delivered in underwritten
offerings, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Issuer and the Guarantors made pursuant to clause (1) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in an underwriting
agreement; and 
 (xvii)    so long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, cause each Additional
Guarantor upon the creation or acquisition by the Issuer of such Additional Guarantor, to execute a counterpart to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex B and to deliver such counterpart, together with an opinion of counsel as to the
enforceability thereof against such entity, to the Holders no later than five Business Days following the execution thereof. 

(b)    In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuer may require each Holder of Registrable Securities to
furnish to the Issuer such information regarding such Holder and the proposed disposition by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Issuer and the Guarantors may from time to time reasonably request in writing. 

 

 14 

 (c)    In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of
Registrable Securities covered in such Shelf Registration Statement agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuer and the Guarantors of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(a)(v)(3) or 3(a)(v)(5) hereof, such
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(a)(ix)
hereof and, if so directed by the Issuer and the Guarantors, such Holder will deliver to the Issuer and the Guarantors all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering
such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such notice. 
 (d)    If the Issuer
and the Guarantors shall give any notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall extend the period during which such Registration Statement shall be maintained
effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holders of such Registrable Securities shall have received copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions. The Issuer and the Guarantors may give any such notice only twice during any 365-day period and any such suspensions shall not exceed 30 days for each suspension and there
shall not be more than two suspensions in effect during any 365-day period. 
 (e)    The Holders of
Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment bank or investment banks and manager or managers
(each an “Underwriter”) that will administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities included in such offering. 

4.    Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer. (a) The Staff has taken the position that any
broker-dealer that receives Senior Subordinated Exchange Securities for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Senior Subordinated Securities that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading
activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any
resale of such Senior Subordinated Exchange Securities. 
 The Issuer and the Guarantors understand that it is the Staff’s
position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Senior Subordinated
Exchange Securities, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Senior Subordinated Exchange Securities owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers (or, to the extent permitted by
law, made available to purchasers) to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the Securities Act in connection with resales of Senior Subordinated Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the
requirements of the Securities Act. 
 (b)    In light of the above, and notwithstanding the other
provisions of this Agreement, the Issuer and the Guarantors agree to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement for a period of up to 180 days after the last Exchange

  

 15 

 
Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to Section 3(d) of this Agreement), in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Senior Subordinated Exchange Securities by
Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section 4(a) above. The Issuer and the Guarantors further agree that Participating Broker-Dealers shall be authorized to deliver such Prospectus (or, to the
extent permitted by law, make available) during such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4. 

(c)    The Participating Broker-Dealers shall have no liability to the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Holder with
respect to any request that they may make pursuant to Section 4(b) above. 
 5.    Indemnification
and Contribution. (a) The Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder, its respective affiliates, directors and officers and each Person, if any, who controls any Holder within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection
with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (2) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus used in violation of this Agreement or any “issuer information” (“Issuer Information”) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule
433(d) under the Securities Act, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case
except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any
Holder furnished to the Issuer in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein. In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, the Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will also indemnify the Underwriters
in such Underwritten Offering, their respective affiliates and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the
Holders, if requested in connection with any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or any Issuer Information. 

(b)    Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the Guarantors, the
other selling Holders, the directors of the Issuer and the Guarantors, each officer of the Issuer and the Guarantors who signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Issuer, the Guarantors or any other selling Holder
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that
arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Holder furnished to the Issuer in writing by such Holder
expressly for use in any Registration Statement and any Prospectus. 
 (c)    If any suit, action,
proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such
Person 
  

 16 

 
(the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing;
provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 5 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive
rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 5.
If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent
the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and
expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified
Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any
such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local
counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Holder, its directors and officers and any control Persons of such Holder shall be designated in
writing by the Majority Holders and (z) in all other cases shall be designated in writing by the Issuer. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with
such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed
the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in
respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure
to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. 
 (d)    If the indemnification provided for in
paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying
such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion

  

 17 

 
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantors from the offering of the Senior Subordinated Securities and the Senior Subordinated Exchange
Securities, on the one hand, and by the Holders from receiving Senior Subordinated Securities or Senior Subordinated Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act, on the other hand, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause
(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders
on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and
the Holders on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Issuer and the Guarantors or by the Holders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 

(e)    The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations
set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, in no event shall a Holder be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5 are several and not joint. 

(f)    The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies
that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. 
 (g)    The indemnity and
contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or any Person
controlling any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Guarantors or the officers or directors of or any Person controlling the Issuer or the Guarantors, (iii) acceptance of any of the Senior Subordinated Exchange Securities and
(iv) any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement. 

6    General. 

(a)    No Inconsistent Agreements.   The Issuer and the Guarantors represent, warrant and agree that
(i) the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of any other outstanding securities issued or guaranteed by the Issuer or any Guarantor under any
other agreement and (ii) neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor has entered into, or on or after the date of this Agreement will enter into, 

 

 18 

 
any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. 

(b)    Amendments and Waivers.   The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this
sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Issuer and the Guarantors have obtained the written consent of (i) Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent and the Required Lenders (as defined in the Subordinated Bridge Loan Agreement) and (ii) in
circumstances that would adversely affect the Participating Broker-Dealers, the Participating Broker-Dealers; provided that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 5
hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities and each Participating Broker-Dealer (including any person who was a Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer of Registrable Securities or Senior Subordinated Exchange
Securities, as the case may be, disposed of pursuant to any Registration Statement) unless consented to in writing by such Holder and such Participating Broker-Dealer. Any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or consents pursuant to this
Section 6(b) shall be by a writing executed by each of the parties hereto. 
 (c)    Notices.
  All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

shall be held subject to all the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement

advisable to protect its rights or the rights of other Holders hereunder.

ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time. 

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate

refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR
Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect
thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with
this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be converted into an ABR Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings or Protective Advances, which shall at all times be ABR
Borrowings. 
 SECTION 2.11. [Intentionally Reserved]. 

SECTION 2.12. Optional Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay
any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section. 
 (b) The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:30 p.m. three Business Days before the date of
prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:30 p.m. one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal
amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such
notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each
prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.06. 

SECTION 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. 

(a) In the event and on such occasion that the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the aggregate Revolving
Commitments or (B) the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans, LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 

(b) In the event that any Borrower or any Loan Party shall receive any Net Cash Proceeds with respect to a Disposition or Property Loss
Event at any time that cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 6.01(b) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, then the Borrower (or such other Loan Party) shall immediately deposit such Net Cash Proceeds in a Collateral
Deposit Account for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.04(b). 
 (c) All prepayments
required by this Section 2.13 shall be applied first to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding and second to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans, including Swingline Loans
(without a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitment) and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure.

 SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve,
special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on
such Lender such Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to
increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or increase the cost to any Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce
the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such
Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or
participations in Loans purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A
certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above
shall be delivered to the Borrower, shall describe the applicable Change in Law, the resulting costs incurred or reduction suffered (including a calculation thereof), certifying that such Lender is generally charging such amounts to similarly
situated borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 30 days after its receipt of the
same. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or
reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any
obligation to compensate any Lender or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to such
request; provided further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period. The protection of this Section
shall be available to each Lender and the respective Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed; provided that if, after the payment of
any amounts by the Borrower under this Section, any Change in Law in respect of which a payment was made is thereafter determined to be invalid or inapplicable to the relevant Lender or Issuing Bank, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall, within 30
days after such determination, repay any amounts paid to it by the Borrower hereunder in respect of such Change in Law. 
 (e)
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.14 to the contrary, this Section 2.14 shall not apply to any Change in Law with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.20.

 SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or
maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent: 

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by
such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a
Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to
convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and 

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender shall be converted to ABR Loans, in
which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below. 

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal
that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or
resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans. 
 (b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the
Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of
receipt by the Borrower. Such Lender shall withdraw such notice promptly following any date on which it becomes lawful for such Lender to make and maintain Eurodollar Loans or give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any
Eurodollar Loan. 
 SECTION 2.16. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense
that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount
on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar
Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under
Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder other than by operation of Section 2.08 (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a
“Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined
by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been
in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period (exclusive of any loss of anticipated profits). A
certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment; Intercreditor Agreements. 

(a) Except as provided below in this Section 2.17 and as required under Section 2.13, 2.14,
2.15, 2.16, 2.20 or 2.21, each Revolving Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Revolving Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the commitment fee under
Section 2.05(a) and the participation fee under Section 2.05(b), each reduction of the Revolving Commitments and each conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as a Revolving
Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Revolving Commitments (or, if such Revolving Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective
principal amounts of their respective applicable outstanding Loans). For purposes of determining the available Revolving Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Revolving
Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made Swingline Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Commitments. In addition, in computing such Lender’s portion of any Revolving Borrowing to be
made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Revolving Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment or other distribution (whether from proceeds of
collateral or any other source, whether in the form of cash, securities or otherwise, and whether made by any Loan Party or in connection with any exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) (i) not constituting either
(A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with
Section 2.13) or (C) amounts to be applied from the Collection Account when cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 6.01(b) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (which shall be applied in accordance with
Section 2.04(b)) or (ii) made or applied in respect of any of the Obligations during the existence of an Event of Default or during or in connection with Insolvency Proceedings involving any Loan Party (or any plan of liquidation,
distribution or reorganization in connection therewith), shall be made or applied, as the case may be, in the following order of priority (with higher priority Obligations to be paid in full prior to any payment or other distribution in
respect of lower priority Obligations): (i) first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such
and the Issuing Banks in their capacity as such (ratably among the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause first payable to them) (other than in connection with amounts
constituting Banking Services Obligations or Hedging Obligations); (ii) second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders,
including attorney fees (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause second payable to them) (other than in connection with amounts constituting Banking Services Obligations or Hedging
Obligations); (iii) third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest (including any default interest) on the Protective Advances, including interest accruing after the filing or
commencement of any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party, whether or not any claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is or would be allowed, allowable or otherwise enforceable in any such Insolvency Proceedings;
(iv) fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Protective Advances, (v) fifth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid
interest (including any default interest) on the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and LC Exposure (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause fifth payable to them), including
interest accruing after the filing or commencement of any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party, whether or not any claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is or would be allowed, allowable or otherwise enforceable in any
such Insolvency Proceedings; (vi) sixth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, unpaid LC Disbursements and LC Exposure (including any termination payments and
any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause sixth held by them); (vii) seventh, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing
Banks, to cash collateralize all Letters of Credit then outstanding; (viii) eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services Obligations and Hedging Obligations; (ix) ninth, to the payment of any other
Secured Obligation due to any Agent or any Lender; and (x) last, in the case of proceeds of collateral, the balance, if any, thereof, after all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required
by Applicable Law. Each Lender agrees that the provisions of this Section 2.17 (including the priority of the Secured Obligations as set forth herein) constitute an intercreditor agreement among them for value received that is
independent of any value received from the Loan Parties, and that such agreement shall be enforceable as against each Lender, including in any Insolvency 

 

 -53- 

 
Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party, to the same extent that such agreement is enforceable under applicable non-bankruptcy law (including pursuant to Section 510(a) of the U.S. federal
Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of applicable insolvency law), and that, if any Lender receives any payment or distribution in respect of any Obligation (including in connection with any Insolvency Proceedings or any plan of liquidation,
distribution or reorganization therein) to which such Lender is not entitled in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Section 2.17, such amount shall be held in trust by such Lender for the benefit of the Person or Persons
entitled to such payment or distribution hereunder, and promptly shall be turned over by such Lender to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Person or Persons entitled to such payment or distribution in accordance with this
Section 2.17. 
 (c) At the election of the Administrative Agent, (A) all payments of principal, interest and
LC Disbursements and (B) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all payments of fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.05), and
other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted
from any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and
fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans), but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Protective Advance if it is to
reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.05), and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.22 or 2.25, as applicable and (ii) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it become due hereunder
or any other amount due under the Loan Document. 
 SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if
it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against either Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other
security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect
of any Loan or LC Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements
of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans and LC Exposure of such other Lender, so
that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and LC Exposure and participations in Loans and LC Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans and LC Exposure then
outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans and LC Exposure prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans and LC Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of
banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto
shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest and (ii) the provisions of this
Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of
a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. The Borrower expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or LC Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may
exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of
such participation. 
 SECTION 2.19. Payments. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, 
  

 -54- 

 
without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline
Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments
received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. At all times that cash dominion is in effect pursuant to
Section 6.01(b) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, solely for purposes of determining the amount of Loans available for borrowing purposes, checks (in addition to immediately available funds applied pursuant to
Section 2.04(b)) from collections of items of payment and proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part against the Obligations, on the Business Day of receipt, if received prior to 3:00 p.m. on such Business Day, and
otherwise on the Business Day after receipt, in each case subject to actual collection. 
 SECTION 2.20. Taxes.

 (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that if any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from such payments, then
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the Administrative
Agent or Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions or withholdings
and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 30 days after
written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the
Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes (but not Other Taxes) were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that if, after the payment of
any amounts by the Borrower under this Section, any such Indemnified Taxes in respect of which a payment was made are thereafter determined to have been incorrectly or illegally imposed, then the relevant recipient of such payment shall, within 30
days after such determination, repay any amounts paid to it by the Borrower hereunder in respect of such Indemnified Taxes; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Borrower of its intention to claim compensation therefor.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a
Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a 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. 
  

 -55- 

 (e) Each Foreign Lender shall (a) furnish to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) on or before the date it becomes a party to the Agreement either (i) two accurate and complete originally executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN (or successor form),
(ii) two accurate and complete originally executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) or (iii) two accurate and complete originally executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form) together with any required attachments,
certifying, in any case, to such Foreign Lender’s legal entitlement to an exemption or reduction from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to all payments hereunder and (b) provide to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) a new Form W-8BEN (or successor form), Form W-8ECI (or successor form) or Form W-8IMY (or successor form) together with any required attachments upon (i) the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form to reconfirm any
complete exemption from, or any entitlement to a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payment hereunder, (ii) the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it and
(iii) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that any Foreign Lender that is relying on the so-called “portfolio interest exemption” shall also furnish a “Non-Bank
Certificate” in the form of Exhibit E together with a Form W-8BEN. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender
is not legally able to deliver. 
 (f) Any Lender or Issuing Bank that is a United States Person, as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall (unless such Lender or Issuing Bank may be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii)(A)(1)) deliver to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), at the times specified in Section 2.20(e), two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-9, or any successor form that such Person is entitled to provide at such time, in order to
qualify for an exemption from United States back-up withholding requirements. 
 (g) In the event that the Borrower is resident
in or conducts business in Puerto Rico, each Lender or Issuing Bank that is not a resident of Puerto Rico for Puerto Rican Tax purposes shall file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower and, when prescribed by applicable
law and reasonably requested by the Borrower, update or renew any such certificate or document, pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, if such filing (i) would eliminate or reduce the amount of withholding Taxes imposed by Puerto Rico
with respect to any payment hereunder and (ii) would not, in the sole discretion of such Lender, result in a legal, economic or regulatory disadvantage to such Lender. 

(h) If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to
the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.20(h) with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, 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 (i) the Borrower,
upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority and (ii) nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of
a Lender or Administrative Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any
computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Administrative Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled. 

SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. 

(a) In the event (i) any Lender or any Issuing Bank requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender
or any Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay 

 

 -56- 

 
any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) any Lender shall become
a Defaulting Lender or (v) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of
Section 9.08 or all the Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders (any such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), the Borrower may, at its sole cost and expense, upon
notice to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and upon the consent of the Administrative Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, either: 

(x) replace such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, by causing such Lender or Issuing Bank to (and such Lender or
Issuing Bank shall be obligated to) assign, at par, 100% of its Commitments and the principal of its outstanding Loans plus any accrued and unpaid interest and fees pursuant to Section 9.04 (with the assignment fee to be waived in such
instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Persons (which Persons shall otherwise be subject to the approval rights set forth in Section 9.04(b)); provided that (I)(A) the replacement
Lender shall agree to the consent, waiver or amendment to which the Non-Consenting Lender did not agree, (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such
Person and (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20, such assignment will result in a reduction in such
compensation or payments and (II) the Borrower shall pay to such Lender all Obligations (other than contingent obligations and other than principal and accrued interest paid by the assignee) owing to such Lender as of the date of such
assignment; or 
 (y) repay all Obligations (other than contingent obligations) owing to such Lender as of such
termination date. 
 Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an
interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in respect of the circumstances contemplated by this
Section 2.21. 
 (b) If (i) any Lender or any Issuing Bank requests compensation under
Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or any Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any Governmental
Authority on account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to take any action
inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be material) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower or (y) to assign its
rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice
pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. 

SECTION 2.22. Swingline Loans. (a) 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 principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans
exceeding $50,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and Availability; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to
refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by facsimile), not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day)
and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by

  

 -57- 

 
means of a credit to the Funding Account (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.23(e), by remittance to
the Issuing Bank, and in the case of repayment of another Loan or fees or expenses as provided by Section 2.17(c), by remittance to the Administrative Agent to be distributed to the Lenders) by 4:00 p.m. on the requested date of
such Swingline Loan. 
 (b) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than noon on
any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will
participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender
hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each
Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this
paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Sections 2.02(d) and (e) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Sections 2.02(d) and
(e) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the
Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein
shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this
paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is
required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 

(c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the
Revolving Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any date that the Administrative Agent elects, by notifying the Revolving Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of such
requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Revolving Lender (other than the Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the
outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the Administrative Agent, to such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 3:00 p.m. on such
Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent
shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with Swingline Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Revolving Lenders, respectively. If
any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent by any Revolving Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in
Section 2.02(e). 
 SECTION 2.23. Letters of Credit. 

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for
its own account or for the account of the Borrower and any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event
of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of 
  

 -58- 

 
this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank
relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance,
Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic
communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent prior to 12:30 p.m. at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date
on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to
prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’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 LC Exposure shall not exceed $100,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing Base. 

(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.

 (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 Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such
Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in
paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in
respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall
reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than noon on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior
to 10:00 a.m. on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than noon, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice; provided
that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.22 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent
amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each
Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Percentage of the payment then due from the 
  

 -59- 

 
Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Sections 2.02(d) and 2.02(e) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Sections 2.02(d) and 2.02(e) shall apply,
mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of
ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 

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

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to
represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will
make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC
Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower
shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower
reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.07 shall
apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the
Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 
  

 -60- 

 (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank and Additional Issuing Banks. 

(i) The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid
fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the
Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such
successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing
Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 

(ii) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders (not to exceed three (3) such Lenders at any time) to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an
issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (i)(ii) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit,
such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Lender. 
 (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event
of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Administrative Agent) demanding the deposit of cash collateral
pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in
cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus 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, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as
collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the Borrower hereby grants the
Administrative Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the
Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing
Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans
has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all such Defaults have been cured or waived. 

SECTION 2.24. Revolving Commitment Increase. 

(a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the
Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”); provided that both
at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Event of Default shall exist. Each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than
$25,000,000 (or such lower amount that either (A) represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence or (B) is acceptable to the 

 

 -61- 

 
Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed $100,000,000. Each notice from the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Revolving Commitment Increase. Revolving Commitment Increases may be made by any existing Lender or by any other bank or other
financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the relevant Persons under Section 9.04(b) shall have consented (in each case, not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s Revolving Commitment Increase, if such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Revolving Loans to such Lender or
Additional Lender. The Arrangers agree, upon the request of the Borrower and pursuant to mutually satisfactory engagement and compensation arrangements, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Additional Lenders to make any such
requested Revolving Commitment Increase; provided that the Arrangers’ agreement to use such efforts does not constitute a commitment to provide any such requested Revolving Commitment Increase. 

(b) Commitments in respect of Revolving Commitment Increase shall become Revolving Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an
amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Revolving Commitment Increase, if any, each Additional Lender, if
any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Revolving Commitment
Increase Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Borrowing” or similar language in such Section 4.01 shall be deemed
to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment). The Borrower may use the proceeds of Revolving Loans provided pursuant to any Revolving Commitment Increase for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated
to provide any Revolving Commitment Increase unless it so agrees in its sole discretion. 
 (c) The Revolving Loans and
Revolving Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without
limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate
that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Revolving Loans or any such new Revolving Commitments. 

(d) After giving effect to any Revolving Commitment Increase, it may be the case that the outstanding Revolving Loans are not held pro
rata in accordance with the new Revolving Commitments. In order to remedy the foregoing, on the effective date of the applicable Revolving Commitment Increase, the Lenders (including, without limitation, any Additional Lenders) shall make advances
among themselves so that after giving effect thereto the Revolving Loans will be held by the Lenders (including, without limitation, any Additional Lenders), pro rata in accordance with the Pro Rata Percentages hereunder (after giving effect to the
applicable Revolving Commitment Increase). 
 (e) This Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in
Section 2.18 or 9.08 to the contrary. 
 SECTION 2.25. Protective Advances. 

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time
following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Loans to the Borrower, on behalf of all Lenders, which
the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other
Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of 

 

 -62- 

 
reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 9.05) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as
“Protective Advances”); provided that, the aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not at any time exceed 5.0% of the Borrowing Base as then in effect (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate
last delivered); provided further that, the aggregate amount of Revolving Exposure (including outstanding Protective Advances) shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. All Protective Advances shall
be ABR Borrowings. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative
Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the Revolving Lenders to make a Revolving
Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.25(b). 

(b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party
hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. From and after the
date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of
principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance. 

ARTICLE III 

Representations and Warranties 

The Borrower represents and warrants (it being understood that, for purposes of the representations and warranties made in the Loan
Documents on the Closing Date, such representations and warranties shall be construed as though the Transactions have been consummated) to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders that:

its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

than clauses (b)(i)(A)(y), (b)(i)(C) and (b)(ii)(x)), to the extent that such violation, conflict, breach, default, or creation or imposition of Lien could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

executed and delivered by each Loan Party which is a party thereto. This Agreement and each other Loan Document delivered on the Closing Date constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and delivered by each Loan Party which is a party

receivership, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by general equity principles. 

SECTION 3.04. Governmental Approvals. Except to the extent the failure to obtain or make the same could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental Authority is necessary or will be required in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance of the Loan Documents by the Loan Parties, except for (a) filings and registrations necessary to perfect the Liens on the Collateral granted by the Loan Parties in favor of the Administrative Agent and (b) such as have been
made or obtained and are in full force and effect. 
 SECTION 3.05. Financial Statements. 

(a) The Company’s consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholder’s equity and cash flows as of and
for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006, audited by and accompanied by the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations and cash

change” affidavit acceptable to the Title Company to enable it to issue a Title Policy removing all exceptions which would otherwise have been raised by the Title Company as a result of the absence of a new Survey for such Mortgaged Property,
and issuing all survey related endorsements and coverages, then a new Survey shall not be requested;

(xi) payments by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries to the Sponsor made for any financial advisory, financing,

(y) to the extent contractual obligations permitted by clause (x) are set forth in an agreement evidencing Indebtedness, are set forth in any agreement evidencing any permitted renewal, extension or refinancing of such Indebtedness

or Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party, which Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is permitted by Section 6.01;

holders of such Indebtedness be secured by such Liens equally and ratably or on a junior basis; 
 (ix)
restrictions on cash, other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

refinancing; and 
 (d) clause (a) and clause (c) of the foregoing shall not apply to customary
provisions in leases, subleases, licenses, sublicenses and other contracts restricting the assignment, sale or transfer thereof, in each case entered into in the ordinary course of business or which exists on the date hereof, and no such clause in
this Section 6.07 shall prohibit or restrict such party’s right to execute a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in a form customary and reasonably acceptable to Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary.

withheld).

 (f) (i) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall
fail to pay any principal or interest, regardless of amount, due in respect of any Material Indebtedness, when and as the same shall become due and payable (after giving effect to an applicable grace period), which failure enables or permits (with
or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both) the holder or holders of such Material Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause any Material Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment,
repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity or that is a failure to pay such Material Indebtedness at its maturity or (ii) any other event or condition occurs that results in any Material Indebtedness becoming

Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity; provided that clause (ii) shall not apply to secured Material Indebtedness that becomes due

 (h) the
Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking relief under Title 11 of the United States Code, as now constituted or hereafter

an Immaterial Subsidiary) and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of 60 consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed; 

(j) an ERISA Event occurs with respect to a Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan which has resulted or could reasonably be

(k) any material provision of any Loan Document, at any time after its execution and delivery, shall for any reason cease

Document; or any Loan Party denies in writing that it has any or further liability thereunder (other than as a result of the discharge of such Loan Party in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents); 

(l) other than with respect to de minimis items of Collateral not exceeding $5,000,000 in the aggregate, any
Lien purported to be created by any Security Document shall cease to be, or shall be asserted in writing by any Loan Party not to be, a valid, perfected first priority Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) having the priority contemplated thereby

or omission of any Administrative Agent, or any Lender (so long as such act or omission does not result from the breach or non-compliance by a Loan Party with the Loan Documents); 

(m) there shall have occurred a Change of Control; 

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above),

times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with
accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower 
  

 -97- 

 
accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; and in any event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above, the
Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan
Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the
contrary notwithstanding. 
 SECTION 7.02. Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 7.01, in the event that the Borrower fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 7.02, would fail) to comply with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.11, until the expiration of the 10th day
subsequent to the date the certificate calculating compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.11 is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(c), the Borrower shall have the right to receive cash
contributions to its capital from Holdings (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Borrower of such cash (the “Specified Equity Contribution”) such financial covenant shall be recalculated
giving effect to a pro forma adjustment by which EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable quarter and any four-quarter period that contains such quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring such financial and not for any other
purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Specified Equity Contribution; provided, that, (i) in each four-fiscal-quarter period there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised and (ii) for
purposes of this Section 7.02, the Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with such financial covenant. If, after giving effect to the adjustments in this
Section 7.02, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the financial covenant, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such financial covenant as of the relevant date of determination
with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of such financial covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for this purposes of the Agreement. 

ARTICLE VIII 

The Administrative Agent 

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on
its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases and intercreditor agreements) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents. 
 The bank serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Borrower or any subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder. 

Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08), (c) each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan

  

 -98- 

 
Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the
Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action and (d) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose,
nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any of the subsidiaries thereof that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided
in Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of the Loan Documents (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Neither
Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or
inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument
or document, (v) the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Security Documents or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any
Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. 
 Each Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.
Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be
counsel for the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,
accountants or experts. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.02,
each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a
Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto. 

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by
it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and
to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. 

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying in
writing the Lenders, each Issuing Bank (if applicable) and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation of the Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, and provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under paragraphs (g)(i) or (h) of Article VII), to appoint a successor (other
than a Disqualified Institution) which shall be a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States or any State or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. 
 If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of resignation
of the relevant Agent specified by such Agent in its notice, the resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders with the consent of and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. If no successor agent has
accepted 
  

 -99- 

 
appointment as the successor agent by the date which is 60 days following the retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon
become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, appoint a successor agent as provided for above (except in the case of the Administrative Agent holding
collateral security on behalf of any Secured Parties, the resigning Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Agent is appointed). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by
a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Security Documents, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or
as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Documents or (b) otherwise ensure that the obligations under Section 5.09 are
satisfied, the successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the
Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder,
the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while acting as Agent. 
 None of Lenders or other Persons identified on the cover page or signature pages of this Agreement as
a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “bookrunner” or “arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all
Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. 

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 To the extent required by any
applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the
Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of
a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the
Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. 

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or
other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the Obligations shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether such Agent shall
have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise; 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the Obligations and to file such other documents as may be necessary
or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and each Agent or (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and each Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other
amounts due such Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.05 and 9.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
  

 -100- 

 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to such Agent and, in the event such Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative
Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05 and 9.05.

 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize any Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of
any Lender any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize such Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any such Lender in any such proceeding. 

Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated
therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of
Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article VIII included such Issuing Bank with
respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuing Bank. 
 Each
Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the
completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports
are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well
as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that no Agent undertakes any obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the
Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect,
and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees)
incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

SECTION 9.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein
or any other Loan Document, shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit by each Issuing
Bank, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or such Issuing Bank or on their behalf, and notwithstanding that any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or actual knowledge of any Default at
the time of any Credit Event shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of

INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS AND (D) AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE INVENTORY FINANCING INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S BEHALF AND ON BEHALF
OF SUCH LENDER. EACH LENDER BY MAKING OR PURCHASING AN INTEREST IN ANY LOAN AT ANY TIME SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AGREED TO BE BOUND BY THE TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE INVENTORY FINANCING INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS. 

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. 

(a) 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 the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of
their respective successors and assigns. 
 (b) Each Lender may assign to one or more assignees (in each case, other than to
Disqualified Institutions) all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) each of
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent shall be required to any such assignment made to a
Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender (in each case, other than to Disqualified Institutions) (each, an “Eligible Assignee”) and the consent of the Borrower shall not be required during the continuance of any Event of
Default arising under clause (b), (c), (g)(i) or (h) of Article VII, (ii) (A) in the case of any assignment, other than assignments to any Eligible Assignee, the amount of the Commitment of
the assigning Lender (or, in the case of an assignment of Loans after the Commitment has expired or been terminated, the aggregate principal amount of the 

 

 -103- 

 
loans of the assigning Lenders) subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment (or Loans)) and shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s
Commitment (or Loans)), provided, however, that simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds shall be combined for purposes of determining whether the minimum assignment requirement is met, and (B) in the case of
any assignment to any Eligible Assignee, after giving effect to such assignment, the aggregate Revolving Commitments (or Loans), of the assigning Lender and its Affiliates and Related Funds shall be zero or not less than $1,000,000, (iv) the
parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance (such Assignment and Acceptance to be (A) electronically executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent via an electronic
settlement system then acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and (B) delivered together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, unless waived or reduced by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion; provided that only one such fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds) and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender immediately
prior to the assignment, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and the tax forms required under Section 2.20(e), (f) or (g), as applicable. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but
shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment, as well as to any Fees accrued for
its account and not yet paid). Any assignment or transfer that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (f) of this Section 9.04. 
 (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the
assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the
interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Revolving Commitment, and the outstanding principal amount of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are
as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations
made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the
financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any subsidiary or the performance or observance by Holdings, the Borrower or any subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with
copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis
and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf
and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance
with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (d)
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the

  

 -104- 

 
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and any changes thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans (and related interest
amount and fees with respect to such Loan) owing and paid to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower and Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (e) Upon
its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Issuing Banks to such assignment (in each case to the extent
required pursuant to paragraph (b) above) and any applicable tax forms required by Section 2.20(e), (f) or (g), as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and
Acceptance, (ii) promptly record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e) and (iii) if requested by an
assignee, provide to such assignee the most recent list of Disqualified Institutions identified in writing to the Administrative Agent as of such date; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance in
connection therewith. 
 (f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower, the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank or the
Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons (other than to Disqualified Institutions) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the
Loans owing to it and its participations in the LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to
the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other Persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and
2.20 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant and in the case of Section 2.20, only if such
participant shall have provided any form of information that it would have been required to provide under such Section if it were a Lender), (iv) to the extent permitted by applicable law, each participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, so long as such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender and (v) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the
Swingline Lender and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of
the Borrower relating to the Loans or LC Disbursements and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers described in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) of Section 9.08(b) as it pertains to the Loans or Commitments in which such participant has an interest). Each Lender selling a participation to a participant (i) shall keep a register, meeting the
requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), of each such participation, specifying such participant’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest with respect to such participation, (ii) shall provide the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower with the applicable forms, certificates and statements described in Section 2.20(e) or (f) hereof, as applicable, as if such participant was a Lender hereunder and (iii) if
requested by a participant, provide to such participant the most recent list of Disqualified Institutions identified in writing to the Administrative Agent as of such date; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to
monitor compliance in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence to the contrary, each Lender shall have the right to sell one or more participations to one or more lenders or other
Persons that provide financing to such Lender in the form of sales and repurchases of participations without having to satisfy the requirements set forth therein. 

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to
this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any non-public information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that prior to
any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or 
  

 -105- 

 
participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such non-public information on terms
no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16. 
 (h) Any Lender may, without
the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that
(i) such assignment shall not increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower hereunder and (ii) no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute
any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option
to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any
SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan
by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any
SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower hereunder, (y) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability
for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (z) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes remain the Lender of record hereunder. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC
may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender and
(B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 

(j) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder (other than in a transaction permitted by
Section 6.04) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. 

(k) If the Borrower wishes to replace the Loans or Commitments hereunder with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with
the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders to
assign such Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 9.08 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to
Section 9.08(d)). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or
such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrower), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders
shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Acceptance, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this
paragraph are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement. 

SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (but limited, as to legal fees and expenses, to those of
Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in each material jurisdiction) incurred by the Arrangers

  

 -106- 

 
and the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in connection
with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (but limited, as to legal
fees and expenses, to one counsel for all such Persons taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel to all such Persons taken as a whole in each material jurisdiction) incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank,
the Swingline Lender or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights or remedies in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, costs and expenses incurred in connection with: 

(i) appraisals (subject to Section 5.12) and insurance reviews; and 

(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the
Administrative Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Administrative Agent with respect to each field examination (provided, however, that absent the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default,
no more than two (2) field examinations per year (or, during any time that the Excess Cash Availability is greater than $150,000,000, one (1) field examinations per year) shall be conducted at the expense of the Borrower; 

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Arranger, the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and
each of the foregoing Persons’ Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of such Person and such Person’s Affiliates and their successors and assigns (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all costs, expenses (including reasonable fees, out-of-pocket disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and one
local counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole in each material jurisdiction; provided that if (i) one or more Indemnitees shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in
addition to those available to one or more other Indemnitees or (ii) the representation of the Indemnitees (or any portion thereof) by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then
such expenses shall include the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket disbursements and other charges of one separate counsel to such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, in each relevant jurisdiction), and liabilities of such Indemnitee arising out of or in
connection with (w) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the
consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Credit Facility), (x) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit,, (y) any actual or prospective
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of
their respective Affiliates), or (z) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Holdings, the Borrower or any of the subsidiaries, or any liability under
Environmental Laws related in any way to Holdings, the Borrower or the subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such costs, expenses or liabilities (x) resulted from the
gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or its Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of such Indemnitee and such Indemnitee’s Affiliates) (each, a “related party”
of such Indemnitee) or material breach of its (or any of its related parties’) obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or in connection with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or (y) relate to the
presence or Release of Hazardous Materials that first occur at any property owned by Holdings or the Borrower after such property is transferred to any Indemnitee, any of its related parties or any of their respective successors or assigns by
foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or similar transfer. The Borrower shall have no obligation to reimburse any Indemnitee for fees and expenses unless such Indemnitee provides the Borrower with an undertaking in which such Indemnitee agrees to
refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower to such Indemnitee to the extent any of the foregoing items in clauses (x) and (y) occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.05 shall not
apply to Tax matters, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.20. 
  

 -107- 

 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Arrangers, the Administrative Agent or any other Indemnitee related thereto under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (and without limiting its obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Arrangers,
such Indemnitee and the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense
or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender or such Indemnitee in its capacity as such.
For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of outstanding the aggregate Revolving Exposure and unused Commitments at the time. 

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim from
(i) the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or
gross negligence of such party of any of its Affiliates or the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of such party and such party’s Affiliates and (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds thereof. 
 (e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall survive the expiration of the term of this
Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, 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 Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Banks. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable within 30 days after receipt of an
invoice relating thereto setting forth such amounts in reasonable detail. 
 SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff; Payments Set
Aside. 
 (a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time
and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its subsidiaries) to
set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the
obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and
although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 
 (b) To the extent that any payment by or on
behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent 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 such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then (i) 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 (ii) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any 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. 
  

 -108- 

 SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
(OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED AND IN EFFECT, ON THE DATE SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT WAS
ISSUED, BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (THE “UNIFORM CUSTOMS”) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. 

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents 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 any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted
by clause (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.24 and clause
(d) below, and except for those actions expressly permitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant
to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Required Lenders and the Loan Parties that are party thereto and are affected by such waiver, amendment or modification and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent; provided,
however, that no such agreement shall (i) reduce the principal amount of, or extend or waive any scheduled amortization payment or the final scheduled maturity date of or date for the payment of any interest on, any Loan or any date for
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement, forgive any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or LC Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being
understood that any change to the component definitions of Excess Cash Availability affecting the determination of interest and the waiver of a Default, Event of Default or default interest shall only require the consent of the Borrower and the
Required Lenders), (ii) increase or extend the Commitment (provided that the Administrative Agent may make Protective Advances as set forth in Section 2.25) or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees of any Lender
without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.17, the provisions of Section 2.18, the provisions of Section 9.04(j) (it being understood that any change
to Section 6.04 shall only require approval of the Required Lenders) or the provisions of this Section (except as set forth below) or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors or all or substantially all of the Collateral
(except as permitted under Section 6.04 and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) waive or amend this Section 9.08(b)(iv) or (v) reduce the percentage
contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or the term “Supermajority Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional
extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and extensions of credit thereunder on the date hereof and this Section 9.08
may be amended to reflect such extension of credit) or (vi) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of the Borrowing Base or amend the definitions of Eligible Accounts, Eligible Inventory, Borrowing Base or Reserves which has the
effect of increasing Availability without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders; provided, further, that (w) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent,
any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (x) Section 9.04(i) may
not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification. 

 

 -109- 

 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to any credit extensions and related
Incremental Amendments effectuated without the consent of Lenders in accordance with Section 2.24, this Agreement (including this Section 9.08 and Section 2.17) may be amended (or amended and restated) with the
written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the credit extensions from time to time outstanding thereunder and the
accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and Fees in respect thereof, (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding
such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and other definitions related to such new credit facilities and (iii) to provide customary class protection for any additional credit facilities. 

(d) Each waiver, amendment, modification, supplement or consent made or given pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given, and such waiver, amendment, modification or supplement shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding on the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans and Commitments. 
 SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate
Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any LC Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on
such Loan or participation in such LC Disbursement under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received
or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited
to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and
the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount shall have been received by such Lender. 

SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the
parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan
Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of
Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees, the Arrangers, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, TO IT THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

 SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in
any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be

  

 -110- 

 
affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in
any other jurisdiction). The parties 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 9.13. Counterparts. 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, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of
an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of
reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such
New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents against the Borrower, Holdings or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (b)
Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service
of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

(d) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in dollars, into another
currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase dollars with such
other currency at the spot rate of exchange quoted by the Administrative Agent at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given, for the purchase of dollars for delivery two Business Days
thereafter. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment
Currency”) other than dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance
with normal banking procedures purchase dollars with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in dollars, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. 
  

 -111- 

 SECTION 9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the
Arrangers, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ (other than Excluded Parties (as defined
below)) trustees, officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential) in connection with the transactions contemplated or permitted hereby, (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Person (including
any Governmental Authority regulating any Lender or its Affiliates), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (provided, that the Administrative Agent, such Arranger, such
Issuing Bank or such Lender that discloses any Information pursuant to this clause (c) shall provide the Borrower with prompt notice of such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law), (d) to the extent reasonably
necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing
provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section 9.16 (or as otherwise may be acceptable to the Borrower), to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower, any subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective
obligations, (f) with the written consent of the Borrower, (g) to any Rating Agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such Rating Agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any
Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Person) or (h) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16; provided that, no such
disclosure shall be made by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders to any of its affiliates that are engaged as principals primarily in private equity, mezzanine financing or venture capital (the “Excluded
Parties”). For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower or Holdings and related to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is publicly
available to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender, other than by reason of disclosure by Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender in breach of this Section 9.16. 

SECTION 9.17. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated
hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging
and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers
on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks
and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each Agent and each Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties,
has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither any Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a
broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither any Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any
aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 
 SECTION 9.18. Release of Collateral. The Lenders irrevocably
authorize the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent agrees): 
 (a) to release any Lien on any
property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (w) upon the Termination Date (and, concurrently therewith, to release all the Loan Parties from their obligations under the Loan Documents (other than those that
specifically survive the 
  

 -112- 

 
Termination Date)), (x) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than a Loan Party,
(y) subject to Section 9.08, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (z) owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to
clause (c) below; 
 (b) at the request of the Borrower, to subordinate any Lien on any property
granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clauses (f), (h) and (t) of the definition of Permitted Liens; and 

(c) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party if such Person
ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder; provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of the Senior Notes, any Junior Financing and any
Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof unless and until such Guarantor is (or is being simultaneously) released from its guarantee with respect to the Senior Notes, such Junior Financing and any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof.

 Upon request by any Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release
its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 9.18. In each case as specified in this Section 9.18, the
relevant Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security
interest granted under the Loan Documents, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.18. 

SECTION 9.19. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby
notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and
other information that will allow such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. 

SECTION 9.20. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or
otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents or any Hedging Obligation (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or
other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent. The provision of this Section 9.20 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party. 

SECTION 9.21. Effectiveness of Merger. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company shall succeed to all the rights and
obligations of Merger Sub under this Agreement, without any further action by any Person.
