each case as amended by this Amendment. For greater certainty and without limiting the foregoing, each Loan Party hereby confirms that (i) the existing security interests granted by such Loan Party in favor of the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents in the Collateral described therein shall continue to secure the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as and to the extent provided in
the Loan Documents and (ii) neither the modification of the Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Amendment nor the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this Amendment (A) impairs the validity, effectiveness or
priority of the Liens granted pursuant to any Loan Document, and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all Obligations, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred or (B) requires that any new filings be made
or other action taken to perfect or to maintain the perfection of such Liens.

 6

to consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or to the determination of any amount for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or any similar reference shall, in each case, be deemed to
include each variable interest entity that the Borrower is required to consolidate pursuant to FASB ASC 810 as if such variable interest entity were a Restricted Subsidiary as defined herein. 

1.04. Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by
dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number). 
 1.05. Times of Day; Rates. Unless otherwise
specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable). 
 The
Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Eurodollar
Rate” or with respect to any
comparablerate that
is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any
such rate
thereto(including,
 without limitation, any LIBOR Successor Rate) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes. 

1.06. Currency Equivalents Generally. Any amount specified in this Agreement (other than in Articles II and IX) or any of
the other Loan Documents to be in Dollars shall also include the equivalent of such amount in any currency other than Dollars, such equivalent amount thereof in the applicable currency to be determined by the Administrative Agent at such time on the
basis of the Spot Rate (as defined below) for the purchase of such currency with Dollars. For purposes of this Section 1.06, the “Spot Rate” for a currency means the rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be the rate
quoted by the Person acting in such capacity as the spot rate for the purchase by such Person of such currency with another currency through its principal foreign exchange trading office at approximately 11:00 a.m. on the date two Business Days
prior to the date of such determination; provided that the Administrative Agent may obtain such spot rate from another financial institution designated by the Administrative Agent if the Person acting in such capacity does not have as of the
date of determination a spot buying rate for any such currency. For purposes of determining compliance with Article VII with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default or Event of Default
shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring 

  
 46 

 with such ratios, tests or Baskets (and any related requirements and conditions) shall not be determined or
tested at any time after the applicable LCT Test Date. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such Baskets, tests or ratios for which compliance
was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time after the LCT Test Date have been exceeded or otherwise failed to have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in such Basket, test or ratio (including due to fluctuations in
Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Assets of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction) subsequent to such date of determination and at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such
Baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded or failed to have been complied with as a result of such fluctuations, (y) if any related requirements and conditions (including as to the absence of any Default or Event of
Default) for which compliance or satisfaction was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time after the LCT Test Date not have been complied with or satisfied (including due to the occurrence or continuation of any Default or
Event of Default), such requirements and conditions will not be deemed to have been failed to be complied with or satisfied (and such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed not to have occurred or be continuing, solely for purposes of
determining whether the applicable Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) are permitted hereunder) and (z) in calculating the
availability under any ratio, test or Basket in connection with any action or transaction unrelated to such Limited Condition Transaction following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is
consummated, any such ratio, test or Basket shall be determined or tested both with and without giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto on a Pro Forma Basis (including any incurrence of
Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) and any related pro forma adjustments unless the definitive agreement (or notice) for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires (or is rescinded) without consummation of such Limited
Condition Transaction, and the Borrower or applicable Restricted Subsidiary must be able to satisfy the relevant tests on both bases; provided that in the case of clause (z) above, for the purposes of determination of the Available
Amount Basket and Excess Cash Flow only, Consolidated Net Income shall not include any Consolidated Net Income of or attributed to the target company or assets associated with any such Limited Condition Transaction unless and until the closing of
such Limited Condition Transaction shall have actually occurred. 
 1.09. Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement,
pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender. 
 ARTICLE II 

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS 

2.01. The Loans. 
 (a)
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a single loan to the Borrower on the 20182020 Refinancing Amendment Effective Date in an amount not to exceed
such Term Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Term Facility. The Term Borrowing shall consist of Term Loans made simultaneously by the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage of the Term Facility. 

  
 48 

 amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions
provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, unless the
Borrower provides one Business Day’s prior notice and pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders. 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for
Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in
determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 
 (e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all
conversions of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Term Facility. 

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the 20182020 Term Loans made on the 20182020 Refinancing Amendment Effective Date (x) shall constitute Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement, (y) shall mature and shall become due and payable on the Maturity Date and (z) shall be
repaid in quarterly installments in accordance with Section 2.05. 
 2.03. Prepayments. (a) Optional. The
Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (subject to Section 2.03(a)(i)); provided that (A) such notice must
be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and,
if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such
prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility). If such notice is given by the Borrower, unless rescinded pursuant to clause (iii) below, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the
payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts
required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) shall be applied to the principal repayment installments thereof as directed by the Borrower, and subject to
Section 2.15, each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the Term Facility. 

(i) In the event that on or prior to the date that is six months after the 20182020 Refinancing Amendment Effective Date, other than in connection with a Change of Control or a Transformative Acquisition, the Borrower (x) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any 20182020 Term Loans pursuant to a Repricing Transaction (including, for avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(iii) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction), 

  
 50 

 or (y) effects any amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of this
Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the 20182020 Term Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment
premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the
20182020
 Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the 20182020 Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. If, on or prior to the date that is six months after the
20182020
 Refinancing Amendment Effective Date, any 20182020 Term Lender that is a Non-
Consenting Lender and is replaced pursuant to Section 10.13 in connection with any amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, such 20182020 Term Lender (and not any Person who replaces such 20182020 Term Lender pursuant to Section 3.07(a)) shall receive its
pro rata portion (as determined immediately prior to it being so replaced) of the prepayment premium or fee described in the preceding sentence. Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

 (ii) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, any Loan Party may prepay the outstanding Term Loans (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be automatically and permanently canceled immediately upon such prepayment) (or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may
purchase such outstanding Loans and immediately cancel them) on the basis set forth in Annex I hereto. 
 (iii)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.03(a) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or any portion of the Term Loans or
occurrence of any other event which would have provided the cash proceeds for such prepayment, which refinancing or other such event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed, subject to payment of amounts under Section 3.05. 

(b) Mandatory. 

(i) Within seven Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a), commencing with
the delivery of financial statements for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2018, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to the excess (if any) of (A) 50% of Excess Cash Flow (such percentage, the
“ECF Percentage”) for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements over (B) the amount of any voluntary prepayments made (i) on the Loans (in the case of payments pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii),
calculated as the amount of cash actually expended to make such payment) and (ii) on any other Indebtedness secured by Liens on a pari passu basis with Liens securing the Loans, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), during such
period or fiscal year or after such period or fiscal year and prior to when such Excess Cash Flow prepayment is due; and provided that, to the extent any voluntary prepayments of Indebtedness as described in clauses (B)(i) and (ii) above
made during the current period or fiscal year are applied to reduce the Excess Cash Flow payment for the prior period or fiscal year pursuant to the foregoing sentence, then such prepayments shall not be deducted with respect to the Excess Cash Flow
prepayment for the current period or fiscal year; provided, further, that if the Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio for the fiscal year ended prior to such prepayment date (with the Total Secured Net Leverage Ratio recalculated to give
effect to any voluntary prepayment described in clauses (B)(i) and (ii) above 

  
 51 

 would have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or
benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to
be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in Section 2.03(b)(i),(ii) or (iv), as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable
efforts under any local law to permit such repatriation and to mitigate any such adverse tax consequences, in each case within the 450 day period described in the immediately succeeding clause, provided, further, that if within 450 days after
the day on which the Borrower would otherwise be obligated to make a payment under Section 2.03(b)(i), (ii) or (iv) the Borrower reasonably determines that repatriation of any of or all the Net Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds of
any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash Flow (A) is no longer prohibited under local law or (B) would no longer have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in
connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, such Net Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow shall be promptly applied to the repayment of the Loans
pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i), (ii) or (iv), as applicable, but subject to any reinvestment rights provided therein and the payment of any Other Applicable Indebtedness in accordance with Section 2.03(b)(v). 

2.04. Termination of Commitments. The aggregate Term Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the date of
the Term Borrowing. 
 2.05. Repayment of Loans. Commencing on January 31April
30,
20192020
, the Borrower shall repay to the 20182020 Term Lenders on the last day of each January, April, July and
October an amount equal to (a) the aggregate principal amount of 20182020 Term Loans borrowed on the 20182020 Refinancing Amendment Effective Date multiplied by (b) 0.25%; provided, however, that the final principal repayment installment of the 20182020 Term Loans shall be repaid on the Maturity Date and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all
20182020
 Term Loans outstanding on such date. 
 2.06. Interest. (a) Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.06(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan under the Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period
plus the Applicable Rate for such Facility and (ii) each Base Rate Loan under the Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Rate for such Facility. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan is not
paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amounts shall bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as
may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 

  
 54 

 3.06. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Designation of a
Different Lending Office. Each Lender may make any Credit Extension to the Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Credit Extension in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any
Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of the Borrower such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable
pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender, to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender ceases
to make Eurodollar Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02, and in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), the Borrower may
replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13. 
 3.07. Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this
Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent. 

3.08. Successor LIBOR. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative
Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower) that the Borrower or Required
Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that: 
 (a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested
Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or 

(b) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public
statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of
loans; provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide LIBOR after such specific date (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or 

(c) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or
amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR, 
 then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the
Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement
solely for the purpose of replacing LIBOR in accordance with this Section 3.08 to 

  
 72 

 replace LIBOR with
an(x) one or more
SOFR-Based Rates or (y) another alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated
therein),, giving due consideration to any
evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated
syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such
adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to
time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (the “Adjustment;” and any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes
and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders
and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders
do not accept such
amendment.(A) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (x), object
to the Adjustment; or (B) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (y), object to such amendment; provided that for the
avoidance of doubt, in the case of clause (A), the Required Lenders shall not be entitled to object to any
SOFR-Based Rate contained in any such amendment. Such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner
consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the
Administrative Agent; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent
shall post each such amendment implementing such LIBOR Successor Conforming Changes to the Lenders
reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective. 
 If no LIBOR Successor Rate has
been determined and the circumstances under clause (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the
obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the Eurodollar Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining
the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing
that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a Committed Loan Notice for Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein. 

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero
for purposes of this Agreement. 

In connection with the
implementation of a LIBOR Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent and the Company will have the right to
make LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments
implementing such LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. 

  
 73

 the consolidated total assets of any Immaterial Subsidiary
(on an individual basis) exceeds 5.0% of Consolidated Total Assets (as set forth in the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries delivered to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and computed in

quarter is the fourth fiscal quarter of the Borrower, within 90 days thereafter) (as either such date may be extended by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion)), the Borrower shall cause one or more Immaterial Subsidiaries to take the
actions specified in Section 6.12(a) on the same basis that any newly formed or acquired Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) of the Borrower would have to take; provided, however, such actions shall only be
required to the extent that, after giving effect to such actions, the aggregate consolidated assets of all Immaterial Subsidiaries do not exceed
5.010.0
% of Consolidated Total Assets. 
 (g) If, at the time of the delivery of the financial
statements pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), any Guarantor is an Immaterial Subsidiary, then (i) upon the written request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (which written request shall be delivered to the
Administrative Agent within 15 days after the delivery of such financial statements and shall demonstrate, in reasonable detail, that any such Guarantor is an Immaterial Subsidiary), (ii) so long as the Borrower is not required to add any Immaterial
Subsidiaries as Guarantors pursuant to Section 6.12(f), (iii) such Guarantor is not an obligor or guarantor of (or is concurrently released as an obligor or guarantor of) any Permitted Additional Indebtedness and ABL Obligations and
(iv) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom, such Guarantor may be released from its obligations under the Guaranty and applicable Collateral Documents to which it is a party in accordance with the terms
thereof. 
 6.13. Compliance with Environmental Laws. Comply, and cause all lessees and other Persons operating or occupying its
properties to comply with all applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits; obtain and renew all Environmental Permits necessary for its operations and properties; and conduct any investigation, study, sampling and testing, and undertake
any cleanup, response or other corrective action necessary to address all Hazardous Materials at, on, under or emanating from any of properties owned, leased or operated by it in accordance with the requirements of all Environmental Laws, except, in
any case, where the failure to do so, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
shall be required to undertake any such cleanup, removal, remedial or other action to the extent that its obligation to do so is being contested in

 10.18. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act (as
hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies
each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. The
Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with applicable “know
your customer” requirements under the Patriot Act (including the Beneficial Ownership Regulation) or other anti-money laundering laws. 

10.19. Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that it has received and reviewed the Intercreditor Agreement and
agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. Each Lender (and each Person that becomes a Lender under this Agreement after the date hereof) hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of
such Lender and agrees that the Administrative Agent may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. In addition, each Lender and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that (a) the
rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and (b) in the event of any conflict, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall
control. The Administrative Agent is hereby further authorized to enter into Other Intercreditor Agreements consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. 

10.20. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan
Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may
be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any
Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in
full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 
 (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into
shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be
accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of
any EEA Resolution Authority. 

10.21.
 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the
Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties
acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of 

  
 145 

 
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC
Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United
States): 

(a)
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such
Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such
Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed
by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents
that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special
Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties
with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. 

(b)
 As used in this Section 10.21, the following terms have the following
meanings: 
 “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party shall mean an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted
in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. 
 “Covered Entity” shall mean any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in,
and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined
in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). 

“Default Right” has the meaning
assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. 

“QFC”
 has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

		limitation all federal and state income tax, social security taxes and unemployment, disability insurance and workers’ compensation applicable to Consultant and any person who performs Services in connection with this Agreement, and that Consultant will not be eligible for any employee benefits (nor does Consultant desire any of them) and expressly waives any entitlement to such benefits.    Compliance with Company Policies.  During the Consultancy Period and until the later of the Company’s public release of its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 or for a period of three (3) months immediately following the Consultancy Period, Consultant agrees that he will continue to be bound by and adhere to the Company’s policies and procedures, including the Company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for Officers, Directors and Employees of eMagin Corporation and the Company’s policy with respect to insider trading (each attached hereto as Exhibit B).

			(a)The Parties acknowledge and agree that during the Consultancy Period Consultant’s relationship with the Company shall be that of an independent contractor.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that Consultant is not an employee of the Company, and the Company shall not be obligated to treat Consultant as an employee. The Company does not grant to Consultant the right or authority to make or give any agreement, statement, representation, warranty or other commitment, or to create any obligation of any kind, on behalf of the Company.

			8.Restrictive Covenants.
		

		
			(a)Inventions.
		

		
			(i)All inventions, ideas, discoveries, computer programs, data, technology, designs, innovations, processes, know-how, concepts, prototypes, samples, models, technical information, drawings, specifications,  improvements and the like (whether or not patentable and whether or not copyrightable) (“Inventions”) which are made, conceived, invented, reduced to practice, created, written, designed or developed by Consultant, solely or jointly with others and whether during normal business hours or otherwise, (A) during the Consultancy Period if related to the business of the Company or (B) after the Consultancy Period if resulting from or directly derived from Proprietary Information (as defined below), shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company.  Consultant agrees to assign, and hereby irrevocably assigns, sells, transfers and sets over to the Company and its successors and assigns all of Consultant’s world-wide right, title and interest in and to the Inventions and the Invention Records (as defined below) and any and all related patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, trade secrets and other industrial and intellectual property rights and applications therefor, together with the rights to all income derived from said Inventions and Invention Records, including the right to sue in the name of Company for past or future infringement thereof and to recover all damages therefrom.  To the extent any of Consultant’s rights in the Inventions or Invention Records are not capable of assignment under applicable law or otherwise, Consultant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives all enforcement of such rights to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.  To the extent such waiver is deemed unenforceable under applicable law, Consultant hereby grants to the Company, an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, assignable, fully paid-up and royalty-free license to copy, modify, perform, display, create derivative works based on, make, have made, sell and have sold, and otherwise use in any manner, such Inventions and Invention Records, including the right to sub-license to any third party.
		

		
			(ii)Consultant hereby appoints any officer of the Company as Consultant’s duly authorized attorney to execute, file, prosecute and protect the Inventions and 
		

		 

 

		Invention Records before any domestic or foreign government agency, court or authority.

Consultant also hereby waives all claims to moral rights in any Inventions and Invention Records.
		

		
			(iii)Consultant shall promptly disclose to the Company all Inventions and will maintain complete, adequate and current written records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and as may be specified by the Company) to document the conception and/or first actual reduction to practice of any Invention (collectively, “Invention Records”).  Such written Invention Records shall be available to and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company at all times.  Consultant shall ensure that any and all Invention Records arising out of or in any way related to the Company, the Services or the Inventions shall not be comingled with the written records pertaining to any other project on which Consultant may be working.
		

		
			(iv)Consultant shall not include any third party or pre-existing intellectual property of Consultant created outside the scope of or prior to this Agreement (collectively, “Other Inventions”) in the Inventions without the prior written consent of Company.  To the extent that Company grants such consent to include Other Inventions, Consultant hereby grants to the Company a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, assignable, license to use, copy, distribute, perform, display, maintain, modify, make, have made, sell and have sold such Other Inventions.
		

		
			(b)Proprietary Information.
		

		
			(i)Consultant acknowledges that Consultant’s relationship with the Company is one of high trust and confidence and that in the course of Consultant’s service to the Company, Consultant will have access to and contact with Proprietary Information.  Consultant agrees that Consultant will not, during the Consultancy Period or at any time thereafter, disclose to others, or use for Consultant’s benefit or the benefit of others, any Proprietary Information or Invention.  Any Proprietary Information may only be used by Consultant solely to perform the Services for the benefit of the Company.  Further, Consultant shall treat the Proprietary Information with the same degree of security and confidentiality with which it maintains its own confidential information, but in no case shall undertake less than commercially reasonable efforts to protect Proprietary Information.
		

		
			(ii)For purposes of this Agreement, “Proprietary Information” shall mean, by way of illustration and not limitation, all information (whether or not patentable and whether or not copyrightable) owned, possessed or used by the Company, whether or not marked as confidential or proprietary, including, without limitation, any Invention, formula, vendor information, customer information, apparatus, equipment, trade secret, process, research, report, technical data, know-how, computer program, software, software documentation, hardware design, technology, marketing or business plan, forecast, unpublished financial statement, 
		

		 

 

		budget, license, price, cost and employee list that is communicated to, learned of, developed or otherwise acquired by Consultant in the course of service as a consultant to the Company.  
		

		
			(iii)Consultant’s obligations under this Section 6(b) shall not apply to any information that (A) is or becomes known to the general public under circumstances involving no breach by Consultant or others of the terms of this Section 6(b), (B) is generally disclosed to third parties by the Company without restriction on such third parties, or (C) is approved for release by written authorization of the Board of Directors of the Company.
		

		
			(iv)Upon termination of this Agreement or at any other time upon request by the Company, Consultant shall promptly deliver to the Company all records, files, memoranda, notes, designs, data, reports, price lists, customer lists, drawings, plans, computer programs, software, software documentation, sketches, laboratory and research notebooks and other documents (and all copies or reproductions of such materials) relating to the business of the Company.
		

		
			(v)Consultant represents that Consultant’s retention as a consultant with the Company and Consultant’s performance under this Agreement does not, and shall not, breach any agreement that obligates Consultant to keep in confidence any trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information of Consultant’s or of any other party or to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of any other party.  Consultant shall not disclose to the Company any trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information of any other party.
		

		
			(vi)Consultant acknowledges that the Company from time to time may have agreements with other persons or with the United States Government, or agencies thereof, that impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding inventions made during the course of work under such agreements or regarding the confidential nature of such work.  Consultant agrees to be bound by all such obligations and restrictions that are known to Consultant and to take all action necessary to discharge the obligations of the Company under such agreements.
		

		
			(vii)Consultant acknowledges and agrees that Consultant shall have no right to publish any articles, or make any public disclosures pertaining to the Inventions or the Services hereunder, or to use or disclose the name, logo or other trademark or service mark of the Company for any purpose, without the prior written consent of the Company in each instance, which may be withheld in the sole discretion of the Company.
		

		
			(c)Non-Competition.  Consultant acknowledges and agrees that during the Consultancy Period he shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, shareholder, director, manager, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, anywhere in the United States or in any other country in which the Company does business, engage or otherwise participate in any business that develops, manufactures or markets any products, or performs any services, that are competitive with the products or services of the Company, or products or services that the Company or its affiliates, has under development or that are the subject of active planning at any time during his consultancy.
		

		

		

		 

 

		(d)Non-Solicitation.  Consultant acknowledges and agrees that during the Consultancy Period he shall not, directly or indirectly, in any manner, solicit, entice or attempt to persuade any employee or consultant of the Company to leave the Company for any reason or otherwise participate in or facilitate the hire, directly or through another entity, of any person who is then employed or engaged by the Company.  
		

		
			(e)Remedies.  Consultant acknowledges that any breach of the provisions of this Section 8 shall result in serious and irreparable injury to the Company for which the Company cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone.  Consultant agrees, therefore, that, in addition to any other remedy it may have, the Company shall be entitled to enforce the specific performance of this Agreement by Consultant and to seek and obtain both temporary and permanent injunctive relief (to the extent permitted by law) without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting bond.

			10.Miscellaneous.
		

		
			(a)Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, provided that this Agreement shall not affect the Restrictive Covenants Agreements and any equity incentive plans and associated award agreements, including but not limited to the 2011 Incentive Stock Plan, the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2015 Employee Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement and the 2016 Employee Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement, all as may be amended, that may exist all of which remain in full force and effect.

			Federal law and Company policy prohibits officers, directors and employees, or consultants directly or indirectly through their families or others, from purchasing or selling company stock while in the possession of material, non-public information concerning the Company. 
		

		
			Material, non-public information is any information that could reasonably be expected to affect the price of a stock. If an officer, director or employee, or consultant is considering buying or selling a stock because of inside information they possess, they should assume that such information is material. It is also important for the officer, director, employee or consultant to keep in mind that if any trade they make becomes the subject of an investigation by the government, the trade will be viewed after-the-fact with the benefit of hindsight. Consequently, officers, directors and employees should always carefully consider how their trades would look from this perspective.
