 Exhibit 10.6 

CREDIT AGREEMENT 

This CREDIT AGREEMENT (including all exhibits and schedules hereto, as the same may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented,

Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Allied” and together with Charah, each a “Borrower”, and collectively, the “Borrowers”), Charah Sole Member LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“Charah Parent”), Allied Power Sole Member, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Allied Parent” and together with Charah Parent, each a “Parent”, and collectively,
“Parents”), Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, including any successor thereto, the “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent for the
Secured Parties (in such capacity, including any successor thereto, the “Collateral Agent”) and the Lenders party hereto from time to time. 

W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS,
the Borrowers have requested, and the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrowers, credit in the form of the Initial Loans on the Closing Date upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement to (a) refinance
the Prior Indebtedness, (b) pay fees, premiums, expenses and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the Transactions and (c) fund a one-time cash distribution to the Borrowers’
equityholders in an aggregate amount not exceeding $120,000,000; 
 WHEREAS, the Borrowers desire to secure all of their Obligations under
the Loan Documents by granting to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and lien upon substantially all of their respective Property, in each case upon the terms set forth in this Agreement and the
Collateral Documents; 
 WHEREAS, each Subsidiary of the Borrowers (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) is willing to guarantee all of the
Obligations and to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and lien upon substantially all of its Property to secure all Secured Obligations, in each case upon the terms set forth in this
Agreement and the Collateral Documents; 
 WHEREAS, each of Charah Parent, the direct owner of 100% of the equity interests of Charah, and
Allied Parent, the direct owner of 100% of the equity interests of Allied, is willing to guarantee all of the Obligations and to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and lien upon
substantially all of its Property to secure all Secured Obligations, in each case upon the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Collateral Documents; 

WHEREAS, in connection with the foregoing, on or after the Closing Date the Borrowers intend to enter into an ABL Credit Agreement and related
ABL Documents, which shall provide for the availability of ABL Loans in an initial aggregate principal amount not exceeding $45,000,000 and shall be at all times subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. 

  
 1 

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

THE CREDITS 
 1.1
Amounts and Terms of Commitments. 
 (a) The Initial Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, each Lender with a Commitment, severally and not jointly, agrees to make Loans in Dollars to the Borrowers on the Closing Date in the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule 1.1(a) under the heading
“Initial Commitment” (such amount being referred to herein as such Lender’s “Initial Commitment”). Amounts borrowed under this Section 1.1(a) are referred to individually as an
“Initial Loan” and collectively as the “Initial Loans”. The Initial Loans and the Incremental Loans are sometimes referred to individually as a “Loan” and together as
“Loans”. Amounts borrowed hereunder which are repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed. As of the Closing Date, the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Commitment equals
$250,000,000. 
 (b) Incremental Facilities. 

(i) Requests. The Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, by written notice to the Agent (each, an
“Incremental Facility Request”) request increases in the Commitments or one or more tranches of new term loans (each, an “Incremental Loan Commitment” and the term loans thereunder, an
“Incremental Loan”; each Incremental Loan Commitment is sometimes referred to herein individually as an “Incremental Facility” and collectively as the “Incremental Facilities”) in Dollars in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Maximum Incremental Amount. No commitment of any Lender shall be increased without the consent of such Lender. Such notice shall set forth (A) the amount of the Incremental Loan Commitment being
requested (which shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) and (B) the date (an “Incremental Effective Date”) on which such Incremental Facility is requested to become
effective (which, unless otherwise agreed by the Agent, shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice). 

(ii) Any Lender may (in its sole discretion) participate in any Incremental Facility with the consent of the Borrowers (in
their sole discretion) and the Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but no Lender shall have any obligation to do so. Subject to the approval of the Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned) if such approval would be required under Section 9.9 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments to such Additional Lender, the Borrowers may also invite Additional Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. 

  
 2 

 (iii) Conditions. No Incremental Facility shall become effective
under this Section 1.1(b) unless, immediately after giving pro forma effect to such Incremental Facility, the Loans to be made thereunder on the effective date of such Incremental Facility, and the application of the
proceeds therefrom, (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would immediately thereafter result therefrom; except that in the case of an Incremental Loan incurred to finance a transaction that will be a Permitted
Acquisition or other permitted Investment when consummated, no Default or Event of Default under Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(f) or Section 7.1(g) shall have occurred and
be continuing or would result immediately therefrom on the date of execution of the acquisition agreement with respect to such Permitted Acquisition or other permitted Investment, (B) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III
(subject, in the case of an Incremental Loan incurred to finance a transaction that will be a Permitted Acquisition or other permitted Investment when consummated, to customary “Sungard” limitations) shall be true and correct in all
material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifiers set forth therein) immediately prior to, and immediately after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Facility (although any representations and warranties which
expressly relate to a given date or period shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifiers set forth therein) as of the respective date or for the respective period, as the case
may be), (C) all fees and expenses owing and due and payable to the Agent and the Lenders in connection therewith shall have been paid and (D) if requested by Agent, the Borrowers shall have delivered a certificate, dated as of the date on
which such Incremental Loan Commitment is to become effective, certifying that the Commitments, after giving effect to such Incremental Loan Commitment, does not violate any terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or exceed the Maximum Incremental
Amount. 
 (iv) Terms. The final maturity date of any Incremental Loan shall be no earlier (but if under a separate
tranche may be longer) than the maturity date of the Initial Loan and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any such Incremental Loan shall not be shorter (but may be longer) than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial
Loan (calculated without giving effect to any prepayments). With respect to any Incremental Loans, the Effective Yield (as defined below) on any such Incremental Loans shall not exceed the then-applicable Effective Yield on the Loans by more than 50
basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”); provided that, in order to comply with this clause (iv) the Borrowers may increase the Applicable
Margin on the Initial Loan by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of such Incremental Loans (such adjustment, the “MFN Adjustment”). Except with respect to fees, pricing and final maturity as expressly set forth in
this clause (iv), the terms, provisions and documentation for any Incremental Facility shall be substantially identical to the Initial Loans or otherwise shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. 

  
 3 

 (v) Required Amendments. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees
that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence of such Incremental Facility and the Loans and
Commitments evidenced thereby, and any joinder agreement or amendment may without the consent of the 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 Agent and the Borrowers, to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.1(b), and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 1.1(b) shall supersede any provisions in
Section 9.1. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to enter into amendments to the Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including but not limited to modifications to provisions regarding pro rata payments or
sharing of payments) with the Credit Parties as may be necessary in order to establish any Incremental Facility and effect such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrowers in
connection with the establishment of any Incremental Facility, in each case on terms consistent with this Section. From and after each Incremental Effective Date, the Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this
Section 1.1(b) shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and as provided in such amendment, 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 applicable Collateral Documents. 
 1.2
Evidence of Loans; Notes. The Initial Loan made by each Lender with an Initial Commitment is evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by such Lender, a Note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns in an amount equal to the
unpaid balance of the Initial Loan held by such Lender. 
 1.3 Interest. 

(a) Subject to Sections 1.3(c) and 1.3(d), each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted LIBOR or the Base Rate, as the case may be, plus the Applicable Margin. Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and
the Lenders in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error. All computations of fees and interest on Adjusted LIBOR Loans payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual
days elapsed. All computations of interest accruing on Base Rate Loans payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 365-day year (366 days in the case of a leap year) and actual days elapsed.
Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to, but excluding, the last day thereof. 

(b) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of
any payment or prepayment of Loans. 

  
 4 

 (c) At the Required Lenders’ option, while an Event of Default exists
(or automatically while an Event of Default under Sections 7.1(a), Section 7.1(f) or Section 7.1(g) is continuing), the Borrowers shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of
judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on any principal of or interest on any Loan outstanding or on any premium, fees or other Obligations outstanding solely for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, at a rate per annum
(the “Default Rate”) equal to (A) in the case of principal of or interest on any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided for in this Section or (B) in the case of all other
Obligations, 2.00% plus the interest rate that would have applied had such amount, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Base Rate Loan. Such default interest shall be payable quarterly
on the last date of each calendar quarter. 
 (d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the
Borrowers hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by
the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any applicable Requirements of Law, and in such event the Borrowers shall pay such Lender interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (x) the then otherwise applicable interest rate
hereunder and (y) the highest rate permitted by such applicable Requirements of Law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is
less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrowers shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have
been received by the Agent, on behalf of Lenders, had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 

1.4 Loan Accounts. 

(a) The Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall record on its books and records the amount of each Loan made, the interest rate
applicable, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding. Upon the request of the Borrowers, the Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers a loan statement setting forth such record for
the immediately preceding calendar month. Such record shall, absent manifest or demonstrable error, be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so
record or any error in doing so, or any failure to deliver such loan statement shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (and under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or provide
the basis for any claim against the Agent. 
 (b) The Agent, acting as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers solely for Tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 1.4(b), shall establish and maintain at its address
referred to in Section 9.2 (or at such other address as the Agent may notify the Borrowers in writing) (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Agent agrees to register by book
entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Agent and each Lender in the Loans and any assignment of any such interest or right and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which
it shall record (1) the names and addresses of 

  
 5 

 
the Lenders (and each change thereto pursuant to Sections 9.9 and 9.22), (2) the amount of each Loan and each funding of any participation described in clause (A) above, and
for LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (3) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid and (4) any other payment received by the Agent from or on behalf of a Credit Party and its application to
the Obligations. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Notes
evidencing such Loans) are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be
effective until recorded therein and any consents necessary hereunder have been obtained. This Section 1.4 and Section 9.9 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in
“registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code. 
 (d) The Credit
Parties, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register that has become a Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including but not limited to, for the avoidance of doubt, after the obtaining
of any necessary consents) as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for access by the Borrowers, the Agent or such Lender during normal business hours and
from time to time upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice. No Lender shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender unless
otherwise agreed by the Agent. 
 1.5 Borrowings. 

(a) In order to make a Borrowing (other than Borrowings involving continuations or conversions of outstanding Loans, which
shall be made pursuant to Section 1.6), the Borrowers shall give the Agent written notice no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date which is three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing date in the case of
each LIBOR Rate Loan (or on the date which is one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing date in the case of each Base Rate Loan). Each such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable (except as expressly provided in
Section 1.5(d) below) and shall specify: 
 (i) the requested Borrowing date, which shall be a
Business Day; 
 (ii) whether the Borrowing is to consist of LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans; and 

(iii) if the Borrowing is to be LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable to such Loans; 

(b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent will promptly notify each Lender of such Notice of Borrowing and of the
amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing. Each Lender will make available to the 

  
 6 

 
Agent an amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m. on the requested
Borrowing date. 
 (c) The proceeds of each requested Borrowing after the Closing Date will be made available to the Borrower
by the Agent by wire transfer of such amount to the Borrower pursuant to the wire transfer instructions specified on the signature page hereto (or as directed by the Borrower in written directions from the Borrower to the Agent). 

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.4, each Notice of Borrowing may state that such notice is
conditioned upon the effectiveness of other transactions permitted under this Agreement, in which case such Notice of Borrowing may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the specified Borrowing
date. 
 1.6 Conversion and Continuation Elections. 

(a) The Borrowers shall have the option to (i) request that any Loan be made as a LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) convert at
any time all or any part of outstanding Loans from Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, subject to Section 10.4 if such conversion is made prior to the expiration
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period. Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed Interest Period to be
made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Rate Loan must be in a minimum amount of $500,000. Any such election must be made by the Borrowers by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to (1) the end of each Interest
Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans to be continued as such, (2) the date on which the Borrowers wish to convert any Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan for an Interest Period designated by the Borrowers in such election and/or
(3) the date on which the Borrowers wish to convert any LIBOR Rate Loan denominated in Dollars to Base Rate. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the end of
the Interest Period with respect thereto, that LIBOR Rate Loan shall be continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month. The Borrowers may make such election to the Agent in writing (including by Electronic Transmission) or by
telephonic notice to the Agent followed promptly by a notice in writing, including by Electronic Transmission. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of
Conversion/Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.6 or in writing in any other form reasonably acceptable to the Agent. No Loan shall be made, converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such proposed funding, conversion or continuation. 
 (b) Upon receipt
of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof. In addition, the Agent will, with reasonable promptness, notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of each determination of LIBOR; provided that any
failure to do so shall not relieve the Borrowers of any liability hereunder or provide the basis for any claim against the Agent. All conversions and continuations shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of
the Loans held by each Lender with respect to which the notice was given. 

  
 7 

 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, after
giving effect to any Borrowing, or to any continuation or conversion of any Loans, there shall not be more than six different Interest Periods in effect. 

1.7 Optional Prepayments. 

(a) Optional Prepayments Generally. Subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Borrowers may at any
time and from time to time upon (x) in the case of Base Rate Loans, at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or such shorter period as is reasonably acceptable to the Agent) and (y) in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, at least
two Business Days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period as is reasonably acceptable to the Agent) to the Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable or conditioned pursuant to clause (c) below), prepay the Loans in whole or in part in
an amount greater than or equal to $100,000 or if less, in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof, in each instance, without penalty or premium except as provided in Section 1.9(b) and
Section 10.4. Optional partial prepayments of the Initial Loan and any Incremental Loans shall be applied as specified by the Borrowers in such notice of prepayment and, in the absence of such direction in direct order of
maturity. 
 (b) [Reserved]. 

(c) Notices. Notice of prepayment pursuant to clause (a) above shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrowers
and the Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof and of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such prepayment; provided that a notice of prepayment of outstanding Loans delivered by the Borrowers may state that such notice is
conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit or debt facilities or other refinancing arrangements or other conditions permitted under this Agreement, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by written notice to the Agent on
or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. The payment amount specified in a notice of prepayment shall be due and payable on the date specified therein unless the Borrowers have provided the Agent with written
notice that any condition to such prepayment or termination is not satisfied as provided for in the previous sentence. Together with each prepayment under this Section 1.7, the Borrowers shall pay any amounts required
pursuant to Section 10.4. 
 (d) Discounted Prepayments. 

(i) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date a Discounted Prepayment (as defined below) is
made (both before and after giving effect thereto), the Borrowers shall be permitted to make voluntary prepayments of the Loans (each, a “Discounted Prepayment”) during the term of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 1.7(d); provided that such Discounted Prepayment is not made directly with any proceeds of ABL Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the
Borrowers shall not be permitted to make any Discounted Prepayment if after giving effect thereto the Affiliated Lenders would hold a greater aggregate principal amount of Loans than is permitted by Section 9.9. 

  
 8 

 (ii) In connection with any Discounted Prepayment, the Borrowers will notify
the Agent and Lenders holding the Loans in writing (the “Discounted Prepayment Notice”) that the Borrowers desire to prepay the Term Loans on a specified Business Day, in a maximum aggregate amount (which amount shall be not less
than $1,000,000) (the “Discounted Prepayment Amount”) at a discount to par (which shall be expressed as a range of percentages of par of the principal amount of the Loans) specified by the Borrowers with respect to each
Discounted Prepayment, the “Discount Price Range”); provided that such notice shall be received by the Agent and Lenders no earlier than 10 Business Days and no later than three Business Days prior to the proposed date
of such Discounted Prepayment. In connection with a Discounted Prepayment, the Borrowers will allow each Lender holding the Loans to specify a discount to par (which shall be expressed as a price equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount
of the Loans held by such Lender, the “Acceptable Discount Price”) for a principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Agent) of the Loans held by such Lender at which such Lender is willing to permit
such voluntary prepayment. Based on the Acceptable Discount Prices and principal amounts of the Loans specified by Lenders, the Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, will determine the applicable discount price (the “Applicable Discount
Price”) for the applicable Discounted Prepayment, which will be the lower of (i) the lowest Acceptable Discount Price at which the Borrowers can complete the Discounted Prepayment for the Discounted Prepayment Amount and
(ii) if the Lenders’ response is such that the Discounted Prepayment could not be completed for the full Discounted Prepayment Amount, the Acceptable Discount Price specified by the Lenders that is within the Discount Price Range specified
by the Borrowers and then the next lowest Acceptable Discount Price specified by the Borrowers until all proposed Qualifying Loans have been repurchased. Notwithstanding any provision set forth in this clause (ii) or clause to the contrary, the
Borrowers may also offer to purchase the Loans at a discount on the open market as provided in Section 9.9(h). 

(iii) The Borrowers shall prepay the Loans (or the respective portion thereof) offered by Lenders at the Acceptable Discount
Prices specified by each such Lender that are equal to or less than the Applicable Discount Price (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable Discount Price; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay
Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable under this Section 1.7(d)) would exceed the Discounted Prepayment Amount for such Discounted Prepayment, the Borrowers shall prepay such Qualifying Loans at the Applicable
Discount Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Agent). The portion of the Loans prepaid by the Borrowers pursuant to this
Section 1.7(d) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued and unpaid interest, but based on the actual par principal amount being 

  
 9 

 
prepaid to, but not including, the date of prepayment. The equivalent par principal amount of the Loans prepaid at the Applicable Discount Price pursuant to this
Section 1.7(d) shall be applied to reduce the remaining installments of the respective Term Loans owing to the Lenders so prepaid pro rata against all such scheduled installments based upon the respective amounts thereof
(without affecting the amount of the installment payments owing to the Lenders not prepaid pursuant to this Section 1.7(d)). The equivalent par principal amount of the Loans prepaid at the Applicable Discount Price pursuant
to this Section 1.7(d) shall be deemed immediately cancelled upon payment of the applicable Discounted Prepayment. 

(iv) The Lenders hereby consent to the transactions described in this Section 1.7(d) (including
Section 9.9(h)) and waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that might otherwise result in a Default or Event of Default as a result of a Discounted Prepayment. 

(v) Each Discounted Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures (including, without limitation, as to timing,
rounding and minimum amounts, type and Interest Periods of accepted Loans, conditions for terminating a Discounted Prepayment or rescinding an acceptance of prepayment, forms of other notices (including notices of offer and acceptance) by the
Borrowers and Lenders and determination of Applicable Discount Price) agreed between the Agent and the Borrower. The making of a Discounted Prepayment shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrowers that all conditions precedent
to such Discounted Prepayment set forth in this Section 1.7(d) were satisfied in all respects. 
 1.8 Mandatory
Prepayments of Loans. 
 (a) Scheduled Initial Loan Payments. The principal amount of the Initial Loan shall be
paid in installments on the dates and in the respective amounts shown below (in each case, as adjusted by any amounts prepaid and applied to such installments, whether pursuant to Section 1.7(a),
Section 1.8(f), Section 9.9(h) or otherwise), or if any such date is not a Business Day on the immediately preceding Business Day:

 The final scheduled installment of Loans shall, in any event, be due and payable on the

 (b) [Reserved]. 

(c) Asset Dispositions; Events of Loss. Subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement with respect to
Dispositions and Events of Loss in respect of ABL Priority Collateral, if a Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any time or from time to time: 

(i) make a Disposition; or 

(ii) suffer an Event of Loss, 

and the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds received by the Credit Parties in connection with such Disposition or Event of Loss (or series of
related Dispositions or Events of Loss) exceeds $5,000,000 in any Fiscal Year in the aggregate together with the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds received by the Credit Parties in connection with each other Disposition and Event of Loss during such
Fiscal Year, then within five Business Days following receipt by a Credit Party of the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss, the Borrowers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such excess Net Proceeds to the Agent for distribution
to the Lenders as a prepayment of the Loans, which prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 1.8(f) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such prepayment shall not be required to the extent a Credit Party
reinvests the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss in assets of a kind then used or usable in the business of the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries, within 365 days after the date of receipt of Net Proceeds with respect to
such Disposition or Event of Loss, or enters into a binding commitment thereof within said 365-day period and 

  
 11 

 
subsequently makes such reinvestment within 180 days thereafter; provided that the Borrowers notify the Agent within five Business Days following receipt by a Credit Party of such Net
Proceeds of such Credit Party’s intent to reinvest such Net Proceeds; provided, however, that (a) if the time period set forth in this sentence expires without such Credit Party having reinvested such Net Proceeds, the Borrowers
shall within two Business Days following the expiration of such period prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds not so reinvested within such time period or (b) if the applicable Credit Party does not designate a portion of such
Net Proceeds as intended for reinvestment, then the Borrowers shall within two Business Days following such notice of reinvestment prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such portion of Net Proceeds not so designated for reinvestment. Solely in the
event that any ABL Facility is then outstanding and until the later of (x) the Discharge of ABL Obligations (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) and (y) termination of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall have occurred, all
such Net Proceeds received by any Credit Party (or any Subsidiary thereof), including pending any reinvestment (or repayment) pursuant to this Section 1.8(c), to the extent arising from or in connection with a Disposition
or Event of Loss involving Term Loan Priority Collateral, shall be deposited in the Term Loan Collateral Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any proceeds of other Term Loan Priority Collateral are not sent or deposited
directly to the Term Loan Collateral Account but are instead received by any Credit Party, such Credit Party will hold such proceeds in trust for the benefit of Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to an express trust created
hereby and promptly remit, in the form received, all such proceeds to the Term Loan Collateral Account; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, at no time shall proceeds of any Term Loan Priority Collateral be placed in any deposit
account, securities account or other account constituting ABL Priority Collateral. 
 (d) Incurrence of Indebtedness.
Immediately upon the receipt by any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party of Net Incurrence Proceeds from the incurrence of Indebtedness (other than Net Incurrence Proceeds from the incurrence of Indebtedness permitted
hereunder other than Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness), the Borrowers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Agent an amount equal to such Net Incurrence Proceeds, for application to the Loans in accordance with
Section 1.8(f). 
 (e) Excess Cash Flow. Within 10 Business Days after the later of (x) 120
days after the end of the relevant Fiscal Year of the Borrowers and (y) the date on which annual financial statements of the Borrowers for the relevant Fiscal Year are required to be delivered hereunder (the “Excess Cash Flow Prepayment
Date”), commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2018, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent, for distribution to the Lenders, an amount equal to the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year;
provided, however, that at the option of the Borrowers, the amount of such mandatory prepayment hereunder shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by voluntary
prepayments of the Loans under Section 1.7(a) or (d) (for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to voluntary prepayments under Section 1.7(d), such mandatory prepayment hereunder will be
reduced by the actual amount of dollars utilized to effectuate such voluntary prepayment made by the Borrowers and not by the amount of the Indebtedness so purchased by the Borrowers) of the Loans, any Incremental Loan and, to the extent

  
 12 

 
accompanied by a permanent reduction of the aggregate commitment thereunder, the ABL Loans, without duplication of any such prepayments from prior periods, prior to any Excess Cash Flow
Prepayment Date except to the extent financed with a Specified Equity Contribution or long-term Indebtedness (other than ABL Loans). 

(f) Application of Prepayments. Subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any prepayments pursuant to
Section 1.8(c), 1.8(d) or 1.8(e) shall be applied to prepay the Initial Loans, any Incremental Loan and any Other Loans under any Refinancing Amendment on a pro rata basis based on the outstanding principal
balances thereof in accordance with Section 1.10(b), subject to any additional restrictions affecting any such Other Loans under any applicable Permitted Refinancing Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor or
subordination agreement; provided, further, that any prepayment of the Loans with the Net Proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied solely to the applicable Refinanced Debt. To the extent permitted by the
foregoing sentence, amounts prepaid shall be applied first to any Base Rate Loans then outstanding and then to outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining; provided that, so long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing at the time of such prepayment, the Borrowers may elect that, for a period not to exceed 30 days, the remainder of such prepayments not applied to prepay Base Rate Loans be deposited in a
non-interest-bearing collateral account pledged to, and under the exclusive control of, the Agent to secure the Obligations and applied thereafter to prepay the LIBOR Rate Loans until the last day of the next
expiring Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans so prepaid (provided that (x) interest shall continue to accrue on such LIBOR Rate Loans in respect of which such deposit was made at the rate otherwise applicable under this Agreement to
such LIBOR Rate Loans until such deposit is applied to prepay such LIBOR Rate Loans, and (y) immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amounts may, without any further action or notice of any kind, be removed from such
account by the Agent and immediately used by the Agent to prepay the LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the relevant terms of this Agreement). Together with each prepayment under this Section 1.8, the Borrowers shall pay
any amounts required pursuant to Section 10.4 hereof. Any Lender may elect not to accept its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 1.8(c) or
Section 1.8(e) above. Any such prepayment amount declined by a Lender (a “Declined Amount”) may be retained by the Borrowers. 

(g) In connection with any mandatory prepayments by the Borrowers of the Loans pursuant to this
Section 1.8, such prepayments shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Loans being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Loans are Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans; provided that the
amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to Loans that are Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made
by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 10.4. 
 (h) No Implied Consent. Provisions contained
in this Section 1.8 for the application of proceeds of certain transactions shall not be deemed to constitute consent of the Lenders to transactions that are not otherwise permitted by the terms hereof or the other Loan
Documents. 

  
 13 

 (i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Section 1.8, with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary or Disregarded Domestic Subsidiary, all prepayments referred to in Sections 1.8(c), (d) and (e) above are subject to there being no material
adverse Tax consequences (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any prepayment whereby in doing so any Parent, any Borrower, any of their Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates and/or their direct
or indirect equity owners would incur a material Tax liability, including a material Tax dividend, material deemed dividend pursuant to Section 956 of the Code or a material withholding Tax) and to permissibility under local law (e.g.,
without limitation, financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra-group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors (or the equivalents) of the relevant Restricted Subsidiaries) and material
constituent document restrictions (including as a result of minority ownership) and other material agreements (in each case, as determined in good faith by the Borrowers), with Excess Cash Flow being allocated among Restricted Subsidiaries in
various jurisdictions in a manner to be mutually agreed by the Agent and the Borrowers (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any reduction from interest and payments hereunder, in respect of the Foreign Subsidiaries’ Excess Cash Flow);
provided that the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries shall be entitled to reduce Excess Cash Flow pursuant to this sentence by the Foreign Subsidiaries’ portion of Excess Cash Flow in any Fiscal Year. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default, and such amounts shall be available for
working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries. Parents, the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries will undertake to use commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or eliminate any such
restrictions to make the relevant prepayment and if such restriction no longer exists (even if such cash is not repatriated), an amount equal to the prepayment otherwise subject to such restrictions that could be repatriated without any material
adverse Tax consequences will be promptly (and in any event not more than five Business Days after such repatriation is or such repatriation could be accomplished) applied to the repayment of the Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayments
required after application of the above provision shall be net of any costs, expenses or Taxes incurred by Parents, the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates and owners and arising as a result of compliance with the preceding sentence
(without duplication of any amount already taken into account in determining the amount of such prepayment), and Parents, the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries shall be permitted to make, directly or indirectly, a dividend or distribution
to their respective Affiliates in an amount sufficient to cover such Tax liability, costs or expenses, which dividend or distribution shall reduce the amount of any such prepayment. 

1.9 Fees. 

(a) Fees. The Borrowers shall pay the fees in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter. In addition,
the Borrowers shall pay on the Closing Date to each Lender party to this Agreement on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Loans on the Closing Date, a closing fee (the “Closing Fee”) in an
amount equal to 2.00% of the stated principal amount of such Lender’s Loans made on the Closing Date, as the case may be. Such Closing Fee will be in all respects fully 

  
 14 

 
earned, due and payable on the Closing Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter and, at the election
of the Borrowers, such Closing Fee shall be netted against Loans made by such Lender. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the parties hereto agree to treat the Closing Fee as OID. 

(b) Prepayment Fee. In the event that all or any portion of any Term Loan is subject to a Repricing Event (as defined
below) on or prior to the date that is 24 months following the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay a prepayment premium in connection with any such Repricing Event in an amount equal to 1.0% of the portion of the Term Loans subject to such
Repricing Event. The term “Repricing Event” shall mean (i) any prepayment, repayment or purchase of a Term Loan with the proceeds of, or any conversion of such loans into, any new or replacement tranche of term loans the
primary purpose of which is to obtain an Effective Yield that is less than the Effective Yield applicable to such Term Loan (as such comparative rates are determined by the Agent in consultation with the Borrowers in accordance with the definition
of Effective Yield), (ii) any amendment to any Term Loans the primary purpose of which is to reduce the Effective Yield applicable to a Term Loan and (iii) an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan held by a Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 9.22 as a result of its failure to consent to any such amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification of the Loan Documents;
provided that, in no event shall any such prepayment, repayment, refinancing, substitution, replacement, amendment, waiver or other modification in connection with (x) an Initial Public Offering, (y) a Change of Control or
(z) a Transformative Acquisition constitute a Repricing Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, any Lender that is forced to assign any Term Loan following the failure of such Lender to consent to any Repricing Event shall be entitled to
receive such prepayment premium upon the effectiveness of such Repricing Event. 
 1.10 Payments by the Borrowers .

 (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, including Article X, all payments (including
prepayments) to be made by each Credit Party on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts required hereunder shall be made without set-off, recoupment, counterclaim or deduction of any kind,
shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made to the Agent (for the ratable account of the Persons entitled thereto) at the address specified on the signature page hereof for notices to the Administrative Agent (or such other address
as the Agent may from time to time specify), including payments utilizing the ACH system, and shall be made in Dollars and by wire transfer or ACH transfer in immediately available funds (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder), no
later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date due. Any Dollar payment which is received by the Agent later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) may in the Agent’s discretion be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Business
Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. The Borrowers and each other Credit Party hereby irrevocably waive the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of any Obligation and any proceeds of
Collateral during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g). 

  
 15 

 (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, including
in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, if any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such
case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. So long as no Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) has occurred and is continuing and the Obligations shall not have been accelerated, subject to
the provisions of Section 1.7(a), any and all voluntary prepayments received by the Agent in respect of any Obligation shall be applied to the Obligations to reduce the remaining scheduled amortization payments of the Loans
as directed by the Borrowers and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, all amounts collected or received by the Agent after any or all of the Obligations have been accelerated (so
long as such acceleration has not been rescinded) or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default arising as a result of the failure of Payment in Full to occur on or following the stated maturity date of the Loans, including, in each case, proceeds
of Collateral, shall be applied as follows: 
 first, to payment of costs and expenses, including Attorney Costs, of
the Agent payable or reimbursable by the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents; 
 second, to payment of Attorney
Costs of Lenders payable or reimbursable by the Borrowers under this Agreement; 
 third, to payment of all accrued
unpaid interest on the Obligations and fees owed to the Agent and the Lenders; 
 fourth, to payment of any other
amounts owing constituting Secured Obligations then due and payable; and 
 fifth, the balance, if any, after all of
the Secured Obligations have been Paid in Full, to the Borrowers or as otherwise required under the ABL Intercreditor Agreement (for so long as the ABL Intercreditor Agreement remains in full force and effect) or the applicable Credit Parties or
whomever may be lawfully entitled thereto. 
 In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in
the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category and (ii) each of the Lenders or other Persons entitled to payment shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to
be applied pursuant to clauses third and fourth above. 
 1.11 Payments by the Lenders to the Agent; Settlement. 

(a) The Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, disburse funds to the Borrowers for Loans requested. Each Lender shall reimburse the
Agent on demand for all funds disbursed on its behalf by the Agent, or if the Agent so requests, each Lender will remit to the Agent its Commitment Percentage of any Loan before the Agent disburses same to the Borrowers. If the Agent elects to
require that each Lender make funds available to the 

  
 16 

 
Agent prior to disbursement by the Agent to the Borrowers, the Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loan requested
by the Borrowers no later than the Business Day prior to the scheduled Borrowing date applicable thereto, and each such Lender shall pay the Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such requested Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer
to the Agent’s account, as set forth on the Agent’s signature page hereto, no later than noon (or, in the case of a same day Borrowing, 2:00 p.m.) (New York time) on such scheduled Borrowing date. Nothing in this
Section 1.11(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the remaining provisions of Section 1.11, shall be deemed to require the Agent to advance funds on behalf of
any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Agent any Lender or the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 

(b) [Reserved] 
 (c) [Reserved]

 (d) Return of Payments. 

(i) If the Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been
or will be received by the Agent from the Borrowers and such related payment is not received by the Agent, then the Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without set-off,
counterclaim or deduction of any kind. 
 (ii) If the Agent determines at any time that any amount received by the Agent
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be returned to any Credit Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, the Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to the Agent on demand any portion of such amount that the Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at
such rate, if any, as the Agent is required to pay to the Borrowers or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, and the Agent will be entitled to set-off against future distributions to such Lender any such amounts (with interest) that are not repaid on demand. 

(e) [Reserved]. 
 (f)
Procedures. The Agent is hereby authorized by each Credit Party and each other Secured Party to establish procedures (and to amend such procedures from time to time) to facilitate administration and servicing of the Loans and other matters
incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent is hereby authorized to establish procedures to make available or deliver, or to accept, notices, documents and similar items, by posting to or submitting and/or
completion, on E-Systems. 

  
 17 

 1.12 Refinancing Amendments. After the Closing Date, the Borrowers may obtain from
any Lender or, subject to the restrictions set forth below, any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Loans then outstanding under this Agreement pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment;
provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) shall be unsecured or, to the extent secured, shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and security with the other Loans hereunder and
(ii) will, to the extent permitted by the definition of “Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness”, have such pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, discounts, fees, premiums and prepayment or redemption provisions and terms as
may be agreed by the Borrowers and the Lenders thereof; provided, further, that the terms and conditions (excluding pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, discounts, fees and optional prepayment or redemption provisions to the
extent permitted by the definition of “Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness”) of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment shall not be materially more favorable (when taken as a
whole) to the lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness than the corresponding terms of the Loans being replaced, as reasonably determined by the Borrowers in good faith (it being understood and agreed that this limitation
shall not restrict the addition of any financial maintenance covenant or other terms and conditions to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness to the extent such financial maintenance covenant or other terms and conditions, as the case may
be, shall be added to the Loans remaining in the applicable Refinancing Amendment hereto). The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in
Section 2.2 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Agent, receipt by the Agent of customary legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the
Closing Date under Section 2.1 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Agent). The Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent)
necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans subject thereto as Other Loans). Any Refinancing 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 Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this
Section 1.12. This Section 1.12 shall supersede any provisions in Section 9.1 or 9.11 to the contrary. It is understood that (w) any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of a Credit Agreement
Refinancing Indebtedness may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (it being understood that there is no obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Other Loan or
commitments in respect thereof), (x) the Agent’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required with respect to any Person’s providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness if such consent would be
required under Section 9.9 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments to such Person and (y) any Affiliated Lender providing an Other Loan (or commitment in respect thereof) shall be subject to the same restrictions set forth in
Section 9.9(g) as it would otherwise be subject to with respect to any purchase by or assignment of Loans to such Affiliated Lender. 

  
 18 

 1.13 Co-Borrowers. 

(a) Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally
guarantees to Agent and the Lenders the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations and all agreements under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not
of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Payment in Full of the Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability,
subordination, or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument, or agreement to which any Credit Party is or may become a party or be bound; (ii) the absence of any action to
enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent, or indulgence of any kind by Agent or any Lender with respect thereto; (iii) the existence, value, or condition of, or failure to perfect a
Lien, or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (iv) the insolvency of any
Credit Party; (v) any election by Agent or any Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any provision of comparable state law; (vi) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any
other Credit Party, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (vii) the disallowance of any claims of Agent or any Lender
against any Credit Party for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (viii) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
surety or guarantor, except Payment in Full of all Obligations. 
 (b) Waivers. 

(i) Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity
or otherwise, to compel the Agent or any other Secured Party to marshal assets or to proceed against any Credit Party, other Person, or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such
Borrower. Each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor, or accommodation co-obligor other than Payment in Full of all Obligations. It is agreed among each Borrower, the Agent and the
Lenders that the provisions of this Section 1.13 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, the Agent and the Lenders would decline to make Loans. Each
Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business and can be expected to benefit such business. 

(ii) Agent and Lenders may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including
realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 1.13. If, in taking any action in
connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, the Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party or other Person, whether because of any
Requirement of Law pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in 

  
 19 

 
loss of any rights of subrogation that any Credit Party might otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a
deficiency judgment against any Credit Party shall not impair any Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. 

(b) Extent of Liability; Contribution. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this
Section 1.13 shall be limited to the greater of (A) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described below and (B) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount. 

(ii) If any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 1.13 of any Obligations (other than amounts
for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “Co-Borrower Payment”) that, taking into account all other Co-Borrower Payments previously or
concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Co-Borrower Payments in the same
proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower
for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately before such Co-Borrower Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower shall be
the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 1.13 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other applicable Debtor Relief
Law. 
 (iii) Nothing contained in this Section 1.13 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to
pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower (including Loans advanced to any other Borrower and then remade or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower) and all accrued interest, fees, expenses, and other related
Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. The Agent and Lenders shall have the right, at any time in their discretion, to condition Loans and to restrict the disbursement and use
of such Loans to such Borrower. 
 (c) Joint Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that the Agent and the Lenders make this credit
facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and Borrowers believe that combination of their credit
facilities will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease the administration of their relationship with credit providers (including the Agent and the Lenders), all to the mutual advantage of Borrowers. Borrowers acknowledge and agree
that Agent and Lenders’ willingness to extend credit to Borrowers and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request. 

  
 20 

 (d) Administrative Borrower; Allocation of Loans. Allied hereby appoints Charah
as its agent, attorney-in-fact and representative for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including for (i) making any borrowing requests or other requests
required under this Agreement, (ii) the giving and receipt of notices by and to the Borrowers under this Agreement, (iii) the delivery of all documents, reports, financial statements and written materials required to be delivered by the
Borrowers under this Agreement, and (iv) all other purposes incidental to any of the foregoing. Charah hereby accepts such appointment. Allied and each other Credit Party (other than Charah) agrees that any action taken by Charah as the agent, attorney-in-fact and representative of Allied shall be binding upon Allied and each such other Credit Party to the same extent as if directly taken by any of them. The Agent
and the Lenders may give any notice to, or communication with, a Credit Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or with Charah on behalf of such Credit Party. Each Credit Party agrees that any notice, election, communication,
representation, agreement, or undertaking made on its behalf by Charah shall be binding upon and enforceable against it. The Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the terms of this
Section 1.10; provided that nothing contained herein shall limit the effectiveness of, or the right of the Agent or any Lender to rely upon, any notice (including without limitation a borrowing or conversion notice),
instrument, document, certificate, acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or any other action delivered by any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Loans shall be made to Charah as borrower unless a
different allocation of the Loans as between Charah and Allied with respect to any borrowing hereunder is included in the applicable borrowing notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2 hereof. 

(e) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower hereby waives, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders: (a) any right to require the Agent or
any other Secured Party, as a condition of payment or performance by such Borrower, to (i) proceed against any other Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any other
Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Agent, the ABL Agent or any lender under any ABL Facility, any Lender or any Secured
Party in favor of any other Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of Agent or any other Secured Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability
or other defense of any other Borrower or any other Credit Party including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the
cessation of the liability of any other Borrower or any other Credit Party from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must
be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon the Agent’s or any other Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations, except
behavior which amounts to bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of
such Borrower’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to 

  
 21 

 
set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that Agent or any other Secured Party protect, secure,
perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices
of default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any
Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in the Guaranty and Security Agreement and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or
exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

The Credit Parties, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Agent and each Lender as follows on and as of each date applicable

 3.2
Corporate Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Credit Parties party hereto of this Agreement and by each Credit Party of any other Loan Document to which such Person is a party have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not and will not:

Person’s Organization Documents; 
 (b) conflict with or result in any material breach or contravention of any order,
injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority to which such Person or its Property is subject, except for conflicts, breaches or contraventions that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; 

(c) violate or result in a default under any indenture, instrument, agreement, or other document binding upon such Person or
its property or to which any such Person or its property is subject, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any such Person, except to the extent such violation, default, or payment would not reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect; 

  
 26 

 (d) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any property of any
Credit Party, except Liens created by the Loan Documents and Permitted Liens securing any ABL Facility; or 
 (e) violate any

Closing Date, (iii) those required in the ordinary course of business, and (iv) those which, if not obtained or made, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law. 
 3.5 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now
pending or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened in writing against or affecting any Credit Party, any Subsidiary of any Credit Party or any of their respective businesses, properties or rights that would reasonably be expected,

 27 

 
proceeds from the Loans have been or will be used directly for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was
originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock, or for any other purpose which would cause any of the Loans to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U or X of the Federal Reserve Board, in each case
in violation of such Regulation U or X. 
 3.9 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Credit Parties and each of their respective

Section 3.16. 
 3.10 Taxes. All Tax returns required to be filed by or on behalf of each Credit Party have been timely
filed, except where failure to so file would not be reasonably expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All Taxes, assessments and other governmental charges payable by or on behalf of or required to be

 28 

 (d) All financial performance projections delivered to the Agents and the
Lenders, including the Projections, have been prepared in good faith and are based on assumptions believed by the Borrowers to be reasonable in light of current market conditions at the time of preparation thereof (it being understood and agreed by
the Agent and the Lenders that projections are not to be viewed as facts or a guarantee of financial performance, are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies many of which are beyond the Borrowers’ control, that the actual
results during the period or periods covered by such projections may differ from the projected results and that such differences may be material). 

3.12 Environmental Matters. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in, either individually or in the aggregate, a

 4.6 Insurance. 

(a) Each Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, maintain with insurance companies that such
Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary believes (in the good faith judgment of its management) are financially sound and reputable at the time the relevant coverage is placed or renewed, insurance with respect to its properties and business against loss
or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses, of such types and in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance reasonable and customary for similarly situated Persons engaged in
the same or similar businesses as Parents and the Restricted Subsidiaries) as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons, and will furnish to the Lenders, upon reasonable written request from the Agent, information

 (b) [Reserved] 

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default resulting from the failure of any Borrower to
provide the Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, the Agent may purchase insurance at such Borrower’s expense to protect the Agent’s interests solely with respect to any real property improvements of the
Credit Parties located in any Special Flood Hazard Area in a community participating in the National Flood Insurance Program and subject to a Mortgage; provided that the Agent shall request in writing that such Borrower provide evidence of
such insurance and shall, thereafter, only purchase such insurance if such evidence has not been provided within 30 days following such Borrower’s receipt of such written request; and provided, further, (i) the Agent shall
procure such insurance in 

  
 38

and (ii) the Agent shall only purchase insurance coverage to the extent of the deficiency, as determined in its reasonable judgment, as compared to the insurance coverage required by this Agreement. The Borrowers may later cancel any insurance
purchased by the Agent, but only after providing the Agent with evidence that the Borrowers have obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If the Agent purchases insurance for the Collateral, to the fullest extent provided by law, the
Borrowers will be jointly and severally responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and other charges imposed by the Agent in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or
expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance shall be added to the Obligations and the Secured Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance the Borrowers or their Restricted Subsidiaries are able to
obtain on their own.

discharge and perform, before the same shall become delinquent or in default (giving effect to any applicable periods of grace), all Tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its Property, unless (a) the same
are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings which stay the enforcement of any Lien and for which adequate reserves, if required in accordance with GAAP, are being maintained by such Person or (b) the failure to pay, discharge
or perform the same, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.8
Compliance with Laws. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable Requirements of Law of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it or its business, except where the
failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.9 Inspection of Property
and Books and Records. Each Credit Party shall maintain and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to maintain, books of record and account, in such a manner as to permit it to report its financial transactions and matters involving the
assets or business of such Person in accordance with GAAP in all material respects consistently applied; provided that such Credit Party or Restricted Subsidiary may estimate GAAP results in good faith if the financial statements with respect
to a Permitted Acquisition are not maintained in accordance with GAAP, and may make such further adjustments as are reasonably necessary in connection with consolidation of such financial statements with those of the Credit Parties. Each Credit
Party shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, with respect to each real property owned or leased by it, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice: (a) provide access to such property for inspection
by the Agent and any of its Related Persons and (b) permit the Agent and any of its Related Persons to review, inspect and make copies from all of such Credit Party’s books and records (collectively, “Inspections”)

or repay any Junior Indebtedness.

effect a public corporate rating for each Borrower from S&P and a public corporate family rating from Moody’s and a public rating of the credit facilities hereunder by each of S&P and Moody’s. 

4.12 Compliance with ERISA. The Borrowers shall not and shall not allow any ERISA Affiliate to cause or suffer to exist (a) any
event that would result immediately thereafter in the imposition of a Lien that primes the Liens securing the Secured Obligations on any asset of a Credit Party with respect to any Title IV Plan or Multiemployer Plan or (b) any other ERISA
Event that would, in the aggregate for clauses (a) and (b), have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.13 Further Assurances. 

(a) Promptly following the written request by the Agent, the Credit Parties shall take such additional actions and execute such
documents as the Agent may reasonably require from time to time in order to perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of any of the Liens to the extent required by the Collateral Documents in accordance with all applicable
Requirements of Law, except to the extent that a security interest in any Intellectual Property owned by a Credit Party cannot be perfected or maintained by the filing of a financing statement in a United States jurisdiction or a security agreement
with the United States Copyright Office or United States Patent and Trademark Office, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise approved in writing by Required Lenders, the Credit Parties shall cause
each of their Restricted Subsidiaries that are Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) to Guarantee the Secured Obligations and to cause each such Guarantor to grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security
interest in, subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the Collateral Documents, such Domestic Subsidiary’s Property on which a Lien is required to be granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents (other than, for the avoidance of
doubt, Excluded Property) to secure such Guarantee, in each case, within 30 days (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Agent in its sole discretion) following the later of the date that such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or ceases
to be an Excluded Subsidiary. Furthermore and except as otherwise approved in writing by Required Lenders, each Credit Party shall, upon becoming a Credit Party or, if later, within 30 days (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Agent in its
sole discretion) following the date such Credit Party acquires such Stock and Stock Equivalents, pledge all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of each of its direct Domestic Subsidiaries and First Tier Foreign Subsidiaries (provided that with
respect to the pledge of any voting Stock and voting Stock Equivalents of any Disregarded Domestic Subsidiary and any First Tier Foreign Subsidiary, such pledge shall be limited to 65% of such Disregarded Domestic Subsidiary’s or such Foreign
Subsidiary’s, as applicable, outstanding voting Stock and voting Stock Equivalents, in each instance), to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured 

  
 40 

 
Parties, to secure the Secured Obligations. The Credit Parties shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Agent, if reasonably requested by the Agent, customary resolutions, secretary
certificates and certified Organization Documents and, if reasonably requested by the Agent, customary legal opinions relating to the matters described in this Section 4.13(b) (which opinions shall be in form and substance

provide all reasonably required survey coverage and survey endorsements, (z) customary opinions of counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent) with respect to the due authorization, execution, delivery and
enforceability of the Mortgages and (aa) to the extent prepared, an environmental site assessment, not including invasive sampling, prepared by a qualified firm, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. In addition to the obligations set forth
in Sections 4.6(a) and 4.13(b), within 45 days after written notice from the Agent to the Credit Parties that any fee owned real property of the Credit Parties subject to a Mortgage is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, the Credit
Parties shall, if such requirements have not already been satisfied, satisfy the Flood Insurance requirements of Section 4.6(a) with respect to such fee-owned real property.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document, nothing in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document shall require any Credit Party to (A) make any filings or take any actions to
record or to perfect the Agent’s security interest in any non-United States jurisdiction including, without limitation, (I) any Intellectual Property other than in the United States Copyright Office

 41 

 (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.13, to the extent reasonably necessary to maintain the continuing priority of the Lien of any existing Mortgages as security for the Secured Obligations in connection with the incurrence of an Incremental
Facility, as determined by the Agent in its reasonable discretion, the applicable Credit Party to any Mortgages shall within 90 days of such funding or incurrence (or such later date as agreed by the Agent in its sole discretion) (i) enter into
and deliver to the Agent, at the direction and in the reasonable discretion of the Agent, a mortgage modification or new Mortgage in proper form for recording in the relevant jurisdiction and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent,
(ii) cause to be delivered to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties an endorsement to the title insurance policy, date down(s) or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent insuring that the priority of the Lien of the
Mortgages as security for the Secured Obligations has not changed and confirming and/or insuring that since the issuance of the title insurance policy there has been no change in the condition of title and there are no intervening liens or
encumbrances which may then or thereafter take priority over the Lien of the Mortgages (other than those expressly permitted by Section 5.1(a)) and (iii) deliver, at the request of the Agent, to the Agent and/or all
other relevant third parties, all other items reasonably necessary to maintain the continuing priority of the Lien of the Mortgages as security for the Secured Obligations. 

(c) In the event the Agent reasonably determines that obtaining appraisals is necessary in order for the Agent or any Lender to
comply with applicable laws or regulations (including any appraisals required to comply with FIRREA), the Agent may, or may require the Borrowers to, in either case at the Borrowers’ expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
appraisals in form and substance and from appraisers reasonably satisfactory to the Agent stating the then current fair market value or such other value as determined by the Agent (for example, replacement cost for purposes of Flood Insurance) of
any Real Estate of any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party that is subject to a Mortgage. 
 4.14 Environmental
Matters. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with, and maintain Real Estate under its control, whether owned, leased, or subleased (or any other real property otherwise operated or occupied by it), in
compliance with, all applicable Environmental Laws or that is required by orders and directives of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Credit Party, Subsidiary or Real Estate, except where the failure to comply with such Environmental Law,
order or directive would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. If an Event of Default caused by reason of breach of any representation set forth in
Section 3.12 or breach of this Section 4.14 or Section 4.15 is continuing for more than 45 days without the Credit Parties commencing activities reasonably likely to cure
such Default in accordance with Environmental Laws, then each Credit Party shall, promptly upon receipt of written request from the Agent, cause the performance of, and allow the Agent and its Related Persons access to such Real Estate during normal
business hours and upon reasonable advance notice for the purpose of conducting, such environmental audits and assessments, including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater, and cause the preparation of such reports, in each case as the Agent
may from time to time reasonably request. Such audits, assessments and reports, to the extent not conducted by the Agent or any of its Related Persons, shall be conducted and prepared by reputable environmental consulting firms reasonably acceptable
to the Agent and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent.

(a) Each Credit Party shall not allow or cause, and each Credit Party shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to allow or
cause, any Release of any Hazardous Material at, to or from any Real Estate owned or leased by such Credit Party or such Subsidiary of a Credit Party that would violate any Environmental Law, or form the basis for any Environmental Liabilities,
other than such violations and Environmental Liabilities that would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(b) At the request of the Required Lenders, to the extent that the Agent or any of the Required Lenders has a reasonable belief
that a breach of Section 4.14 or Section 4.15(a) or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provide to the Lenders within 60 days after such request, at the expense of the Borrowers, an
environmental assessment report for any Real Estate owned, leased or operated by it described in such request, prepared by an environmental consulting firm acceptable to the Agent, indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Materials or non-compliance with Environmental Law and the estimated cost of any compliance, response or other corrective action to address any Hazardous Materials on such properties (the scope of such assessment shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Agent and shall not include invasive testing or taking of samples of any environmental media unless reasonably determined to be necessary to evaluate a potential Release or other event or condition that could lead to
imposition of Environmental Liability); without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Agent determines at any time that a material risk exists that any such report will not be provided within the time referred to above, the Agent may
retain an environmental consulting firm to prepare such report at the expense of the Borrowers, and the Borrowers hereby grant and agree to cause any Restricted Subsidiary that owns or leases any property described in such request to grant the
Agent, the Lenders, such firm and any agents or representatives thereof an irrevocable non-exclusive license, subject to the rights of tenants or necessary consent of landlords, to enter onto their respective
properties to undertake such an assessment.

party, and any financing activities, the issuance of Stock, performance of obligations under equityholder agreements, payment of dividends and other Restricted Payments, making contributions to the capital of its Subsidiaries and guaranteeing the
obligations of its Subsidiaries and making Investments, in each such case solely to the extent permitted under this Agreement, (f) participating in Tax, accounting and other administrative matters as a member of a consolidated, unitary,
affiliated or other similar group of companies,

purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin
Stock or for any other purpose which might constitute a “purpose credit” under Regulation U, or in any manner or for any other purpose that causes or might cause a violation of, or is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or
X of the Federal Reserve Board as in effect from time to time or any other regulation thereof, or violation of the Exchange Act, (ii) to finance (or refinance) any commercial paper, including, without limitation, any issued by a Credit Party,

furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, directly or indirectly to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, or (iv) for the purpose of funding,
financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country or, in any event, in violation of any applicable Sanctions 

(b) The Borrowers and the other Credit Parties will comply, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to comply in
all respects, with the Patriot Act (to the extent applicable), applicable anti money-laundering laws, and Anti-Corruption Laws and all applicable trade and economic sanctions laws promulgated by the U.S. Government, the European Union, Her
Majesty’s Treasury, or other relevant sanctions authority. Each Credit Party will maintain, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to maintain, in effect and enforce policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance
by such Credit Party, such Subsidiaries and the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing with applicable Trade Controls, including those administered by OFAC, and Anti-Corruption Laws. 

(c) The Borrowers and the other Credit Parties are in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except such non-compliance with such other Requirements of Law that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries has
complied, and its Properties and business operations are in compliance, with all Requirements of Law, except where any failure to so comply could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Governmental Authority has issued or, to
the best of Credit Parties’ knowledge, threatened to issue to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries any citation, notice, or order asserting or alleging any material non-compliance with, or material
violation of, any Requirement of Law.

Financial Covenant, the Credit Parties shall be deemed to have satisfied the 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 covenants that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement.

allegation of an Event of Default having occurred and being continuing under Section 7.1 due to failure by the Credit Parties to comply with the Financial Covenant, unless such failure is not cured pursuant to the Specified
Equity Contribution on or prior to the Anticipated Cure Deadline; it being understood and agreed that there shall be no borrowings of ABL Loans permitted or letters of credit issued or received under any ABL Facility until the Specified Equity
Contribution has actually been received by the Borrowers. 

  
 69 

 (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each
consecutive four Fiscal Quarter period there will be at least two Fiscal Quarters in which no Specified Equity Contribution is made, (ii) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution will be no greater than the amount required to cause the
Credit Parties to be in compliance with the Financial Covenant, (iii) all Specified Equity Contributions will be counted solely for purposes of the calculation of Combined EBITDA as it relates to the Financial Covenant and shall not be included
for all other purposes, including calculating basket levels, pricing and other items governed by reference to Combined EBITDA, (iv) there shall be no more than five Specified Equity Contributions made in the aggregate after the Closing Date and

 74 

 (c) Limited Duties. Under the Loan Documents, the Agent, in its
capacity as such, (i) is acting solely on behalf of the Secured Parties (except to the limited extent provided in Section 1.4(b) with respect to the Register), with duties that are entirely administrative in nature,
notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Agent”, the terms “agent”, “Agent” and “collateral agent” and similar terms in any Loan Document to refer to the Agent, which terms are used for title purposes

responsibilities, duties, obligations or other liabilities under any Loan Document, and each Secured Party, by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, hereby waives and agrees not to assert any claim against the Agent based on the roles,
duties and legal relationships expressly disclaimed in clauses (i) through (iii) above. 
 8.2 Binding Effect. Each Secured
Party, by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, agrees that (i) any action taken by the Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if expressly required hereby, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of the Loan
Documents, (ii) any action taken by the Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents in reliance upon the instructions of Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion of the Lenders) and (iii) the exercise

upon all of the Secured Parties. 
 8.3 Use of Discretion. 

(a) No Action without Instructions. The Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take, or to omit to

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

enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents for the 

  
 75 

 
benefit of all the Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in
its capacity as the Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Lender from exercising set-off rights in accordance with Section 9.11 or (iii) any Lender
from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Credit Party under any bankruptcy or other Debtor Relief Law; and provided further that if at any time there
is no Person acting as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (A) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Agent pursuant to Section 7.2 and (B) in addition to the
matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 9.11, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as
authorized by the Required Lenders.

delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Loan Document by or through any trustee, co-agent,

Note has been assigned in accordance with Section 9.9, (ii) rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 1.4, (iii) consult with any of its Related Persons and, whether or not selected

Transmission) and any telephone message or conversation, in each case believed by it to be genuine and transmitted, signed or otherwise authenticated by the appropriate parties. 

(b) None of the Agent and its Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under
or in connection with any Loan Document, and each Secured Party, each Parent, each Borrower and each other Credit Party party hereto from time to time hereby waives and shall not assert any right, claim or cause of action based thereon, except to
the extent of liabilities resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith of, or material breach of any of the Loan Documents by the Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the duties expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent: 

(i) shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of
the Required Lenders or for the actions or omissions of any of its Related Persons selected with reasonable care (other than employees, officers and directors of the Agent, when acting on behalf of the Agent); 

  
 76

information with respect to any Credit Party, whether or not transmitted or (except for documents expressly required under any Loan Document to be transmitted to the Lenders) omitted to be transmitted by the Agent, including as to completeness,
accuracy, scope or adequacy thereof, or for the scope, nature or results of any due diligence performed by the Agent in connection with the Loan Documents; and 

(iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Loan
Document, whether any condition set forth in any Loan Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of any Credit Party or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default
and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a written notice from any Borrower or any Lender describing such Default or Event of Default clearly labeled “notice of default”
(in which case the Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt to all Lenders); 
 and, for each of the items set forth in clauses
(i) through (iv) above, each Lender, each Parent, each Borrower and each other Credit Party party hereto hereby waives and shall not assert any right, claim or cause of action it might have against the Agent based thereon. 

8.6 Agent Individually. The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire Stock and Stock
Equivalents of, and engage in any kind of business with, any Credit Party or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as the Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor. To the extent the Agent or any of its Affiliates
makes any Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender”,
“Required Lender” and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include, without limitation, the Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender
or as one of the Required Lenders. 

  
 77 

 8.7 Lender Credit Decision. 

(a) Each Lender acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Lender or any of their
Related Persons or upon any document (including any offering and disclosure materials in connection with the syndication of the Loans) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by the Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its
own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Credit Party and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with
respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Agent to the
Lenders or, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Credit
Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party that may come in to the possession of the Agent or any of its Related Persons. 

(b) If any Lender has elected to abstain from receiving MNPI concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates, such Lender
acknowledges that, notwithstanding such election, the Agent and/or the Credit Parties will, from time to time, make available syndicate-information (which may contain MNPI) as required by the terms of, or in the course of administering, the Loans to
the credit contact(s) identified for receipt of such information on the Lender’s administrative questionnaire who are able to receive and use all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) in accordance with such Lender’s
compliance policies and contractual obligations and applicable law, including federal and state securities laws; provided that if such contact is not so identified in such questionnaire, the relevant Lender hereby agrees to promptly (and in
any event within one Business Day) provide such a contact to the Agent and the Credit Parties upon request therefor by the Agent or the Credit Parties. Notwithstanding such Lender’s election to abstain from receiving MNPI, such Lender
acknowledges that if such Lender chooses to communicate with the Agent, it assumes the risk of receiving MNPI concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates. 

8.8 Expenses; Indemnities; Withholding. 

(a) Each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit
Party) promptly upon demand, severally and ratably, for any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Credit Party) that may be
incurred by the Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement of, or the taking of any other action (whether through negotiations, through
any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding (including, without limitation, preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto)
or otherwise) in respect of, or legal advice with respect to, its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document. 
 (b)
To the extent required by any Requirement of Law, the Agent may withhold from any payment to any Secured Party under a Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax (including withholding Taxes imposed under Chapters 3 and 4 of
Subtitle A of the Code). 

  
 78 

 8.9 Resignation of Agent. 

(a) The Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Lenders and the Borrowers, effective on
the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.9. If the Agent delivers any such notice, the Required
Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, which successor agent shall (i) be a Lender or a bank with an office in the United States and with a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 (or as otherwise agreed by
the Borrowers), or an Affiliate thereof (but in any event shall not be a Disqualified Lender), and (ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 7.1(a), 7.1(f) or
7.1(g), be subject to prior written approval by the Borrowers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If, within 30 days after the retiring the Agent’s having given notice of resignation, no successor Agent has
been appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which successor agent shall (x) be a Lender or a bank with an office in the United
States with a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 (or as otherwise agreed by the Borrowers), or an Affiliate thereof (but in any event shall not be a Disqualified Lender), and (y) so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing under Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(f) or 7.1(g), be subject to prior written approval by the Borrowers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective; provided further that nothing herein shall
limit or be deemed or construed to limit the Agent’s right to resign as the Agent hereunder set forth in Section 9.22 pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of such section. 

(b) Effective immediately upon its resignation in accordance with clause (a) above (which, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in such clause, shall not occur until the earlier of (x) the date on which a successor agent is appointed pursuant to the provisions of such clause or (y) the date that is 30 days after the Agent delivers a notice of
resignation as set forth in such clause (unless the Agent revokes such notice prior to such time)), (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform
all of the duties of the Agent until a successor Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the retiring Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with
respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Agent was, or because such Agent had been, validly acting as the Agent under the Loan Documents and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 8.3,
the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as the Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as the Agent, a successor
Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents. 

  
 79 

 8.10 Release of Collateral or Guarantors. 

(a) Any Restricted Subsidiary of any Borrower shall be automatically released from its Guarantee of any Obligation (i) if
all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of such Restricted Subsidiary owned by any Credit Party are sold or transferred (other than to another Credit Party) or such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise ceases to be a direct or indirect Subsidiary of any
Parent, in each case, in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), (ii) upon written notice by the Borrowers to the Agent if such Restricted Subsidiary ceases to be a
Domestic Subsidiary, in each case, in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, pursuant to a waiver or consent) and (iii) upon Payment in Full (subject to Section 8.1 of the Guaranty and Security Agreement); provided that no such release shall occur if such Restricted Subsidiary
continues to be a guarantor in respect of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness. 
 (b) Any Lien held by the Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties or otherwise against (i) any Property that is sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by a Credit Party to a Person that is not a Credit Party in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, pursuant to a valid waiver or consent) shall be automatically released upon consummation of such disposition, (ii) any Property subject to a Lien permitted hereunder in reliance upon
Section 5.1(h), 5.1(i), 5.1(x), 5.1(y), 5.1(z) or 5.1(hh) shall be released or subordinated (in the manner necessary and reasonably requested by the Borrowers) upon the written request of
the Borrowers to the Agent, (iii) all of the Collateral and all Credit Parties shall be automatically released upon Payment in Full (subject to Section 8.1 of the Guaranty and Security Agreement), (iv) any Property if approved, authorized
or ratified in writing by Lenders in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.1 shall be automatically released upon the effectiveness of such writing, and (v) any Property owned by a Restricted Subsidiary shall
be automatically released upon release of such Restricted Subsidiary from its Guarantee of Obligations pursuant to clause (a) above. 

(c) Each Lender hereby directs the Agent to, and the Agent shall, upon the request of the Borrowers, execute and deliver or
file such documents and perform such other actions reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by the Borrowers to evidence or effect the release and/or subordination of Guarantees and Liens in accordance with this
Section 8.10. 
 8.11 Additional Secured Parties. The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents
directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender party hereto as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among the Agent and all
other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by the Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to the Agent) this Article VIII, Section 9.3,
Section 9.9, Section 9.10, Section 9.11, Section 9.17, Section 9.24 and Section 10.1 and the
decisions and actions of the Agent and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders or other parties hereto as required herein) to the same extent a Lender is bound;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 8.8 only to the extent of Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to 

  
 80 

 
or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of pro rata
share or similar concept, (b) each of the Agent, the Lenders party hereto shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Secured Obligation to such Secured Party
thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Secured Obligation and
(c) except as otherwise set forth herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan
Document. 
 8.12 Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners in their capacities as such shall not have any duties or responsibilities that are not expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Joint Lead
Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise exist against the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners in their capacities as such, except those that are expressly set forth herein. At any time that any Lender serving (or whose Affiliate is serving) as Joint Lead
Arranger and Joint Bookrunner shall have transferred to any other Person (other than any Affiliates) all of its interests in the Loans, such Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender acting as Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner) shall be deemed
to have concurrently resigned as such Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner. 
 8.13 Bankruptcy.  

(a) Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered
(but not obligated) by intervention in such Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise: (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing
and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and the Agent and their
respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and the Agent arising hereunder) allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding; and (ii) 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, or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments directly to the Agent and, in the event that the
Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Agent hereunder. 

  
 81 

 (b) Credit Bids. The holders of the Obligations hereby irrevocably
authorize the Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of all or some of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu
of foreclosure, strict foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, including Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 thereof, or any similar Requirement of Law in any other jurisdictions to which a Credit Party is subject, or (b) at any sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt
conducted by (or with the consent of, or at the direction of) the Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any Requirement of Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the holders
thereof shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon
liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the equity interests or debt instruments of the
acquisition vehicle(s) used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such credit bid (i) the Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance
of the acquisition vehicle(s) (provided that any actions by the Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle(s), including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of
the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement), and (iii) to the extent that any Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (whether as a result of another
bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt which is credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the
holders of the Obligations pro rata and the equity interests or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled without the need for
any Lender or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

interest (other than interest at the default rate), or fees due to such Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document (for the avoidance of doubt, mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 1.8 (other than scheduled
installments under Section 1.8(a)) may be postponed, delayed, reduced, waived or modified with the consent of Required Lenders);

Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay any amount at the Default Rate and such waiver shall not constitute a reduction of interest hereunder;

to the extent permitted by the terms hereof or subordinate the payment of any Obligations (other than, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent and the Borrowers); or 

  
 83 

 (vii) impose modification or restrictions on assignments and participation
that are more restrictive that, or in addition to, those set forth in Section 9.8,

(b) In addition to the requirements of Section 9.1(a), no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless
in writing and signed by the Agent, in addition to the Required Lenders or all Lenders directly adversely affected thereby, as the case may be (or by the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders directly adversely affected
thereby, as the case may be), affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

(c) [Reserved]. 

(d) This Agreement (including provisions regarding pro rata payments or sharing of payments) may be amended with the written
consent of the Borrowers and the Required Lenders to the extent necessary to (i) add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the outstanding
principal and 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) include appropriately the
Lenders holding such credit facilities described in the foregoing clause (i) in any determination of the Required Lenders, and (iii) modify provisions regarding pro rata payments or sharing of payments (and allow for non-pro rata distributions), in each case, in connection with loan buy-back or similar programs not otherwise contemplated hereby. The Fee Letter may be amended, modified,
supplemented or changed, or the rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed by the parties thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.1(d) shall supersede any provision of
Section 9.1 to the contrary. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 9.1, (i) the Borrowers may amend Schedule 3.19 upon notice to the Agent, (ii) the Agent may amend Schedule 1.1(a) to reflect Incremental Facilities and Sales entered into pursuant to
Section 9.9, and (iii) the Agent and the Borrowers may amend or modify this Agreement and any other Loan Document to (1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency therein, (2) grant a new Lien for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, extend an existing Lien over additional Property for the benefit of the Secured Parties or join additional Persons as Credit Parties, (3) add one or more Incremental Facilities to this Agreement pursuant to
Section 1.1(b) and to permit the extensions of credit 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 and to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and (4) pursuant to
Section 1.12. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.1(e) shall supersede any provision of Section 9.1 to the contrary. 

  
 84 

 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to
one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrowers to all Lenders holding Loans with a like maturity date, on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrowers are hereby permitted to
consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date or decrease any scheduled amortization of each such Lender’s Loans, and, subject to the terms
hereof, otherwise modify the terms of such Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate and/or fees payable in respect of such Loans) (each, an
“Extension”; and each group of Loans, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Loans (in each case not so extended), being a separate “tranche”), so long as the following terms are satisfied: 

(viii) [reserved]; 

(ix) [reserved]; 

(x) except as to interest rates, fees (including, without limitation, upfront fees), funding discounts, prepayment premium,
amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iv), (v) and (vi), be determined by the Borrowers and set forth in the relevant Extension
Offer, subject to acceptance by the Extended Lenders), the Loans of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Loans owed to it (an “Extended Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension
(“Extended Loans”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants applicable only to periods after the then applicable maturity date with respect to such tranche
of Loans); 
 (xi) the final maturity date of any Extended Loans shall be no earlier than the latest maturity date of the
Loans extended thereby; 
 (xii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Loans shall be no shorter than the
Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Loans extended thereby; 
 (xiii) any Extended Loans may participate on a pro rata
basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) with non-extending tranches of Loans in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective
Extension Offer; 
 (xiv) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans (calculated on the outstanding principal amount thereof)
in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans offered to be extended by the Borrowers pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans of such Lenders shall
be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal or commitment amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer; and 

  
 85 

 (xv) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall have been satisfied
unless waived by the Borrowers. 
 With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section, (i) such
Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 1.7 or 1.8 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment;
provided that the Borrowers may at their election specify as a condition to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrowers’ sole discretion and which
may be waived by the Borrowers) of Loans of any or all applicable tranches be tendered (a “Minimum Extension Condition”). The Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section (including, for the
avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document that may otherwise prohibit or conflict with any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section. 
 No consent
of any Lender shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans (or a portion thereof), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. All Extended Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations and Secured Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all
other applicable Secured Obligations. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, modifications to provisions regarding pro rata payments
or sharing of payments (provided that in no event shall any such modification entered into by the Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization cause or enable any such Extension to rank senior to, or receive or share in payments on a more
favorable basis than pro rata with respect to, the other Loans hereunder except for such differences in rank or right to receive or share in payments among the existing Loans that are already contained or set forth in the Loan Documents, if any,
prior to the effectiveness of such Extension)) with the Borrowers (on behalf of all Credit Parties) as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Loans so extended and
such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrowers in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on
terms consistent with this Section. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions, the applicable Credit Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Agent is hereby directed by the Lenders to amend) any Mortgage that has a
maturity date prior to the then latest maturity date so that such maturity date referenced therein is extended to the then latest maturity date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Agent). The Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender of the effectiveness of each such amendment. In connection with any Extension, the Borrowers shall provide the Agent at least five Business Days’ (or such 

  
 86 

 
shorter period as may be agreed by the Agent in its sole discretion) prior written notice thereof (which such notice the Agent shall promptly forward to the Lenders; provided that the
Agent’s delivery to the Lenders thereof shall not constitute a condition to or requirement for the effectiveness of any such Extension or be included in the determination of such five Business Day period), and shall agree to such procedures
(including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the
Agent and the Borrowers, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 9.1(f). 
 This
Section 9.1(f) shall supersede any provisions of this Section 9.1 or Section 9.11 to the contrary. 

(g) No Lender consent is required to effect any amendment or supplement to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any Pari Passu
Intercreditor Agreement, any Permitted Refinancing Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement (i) that is for the purpose of adding the holders of Permitted Pari Passu Secured
Refinancing Debt, Permitted Junior Secured Refinancing Debt (or a Senior Representative with respect thereto) as parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, such Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement,
such Permitted Refinancing Intercreditor Agreement or such other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement, as applicable (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the
applicable intercreditor agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing; provided that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders), or
(ii) that is expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, any Permitted Refinancing Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under
this Agreement; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Agent. 

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.1, during or in connection with the primary
syndication of the Initial Loan, the Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend or otherwise modify any provision of the Loan Documents in any manner not, when taken as a whole, adverse to the interests of the Lenders when compared to this
Agreement as in effect on Closing Date, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other Person.

Lenders, each Credit Party and each of their Related Persons, is authorized (but not required) to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions in connection with any Loan Document and the
transactions contemplated therein. Each Credit Party and each Secured Party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of
interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions. 

(b) Signatures. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.2(a), (i)(A) no posting to any E-System shall be denied legal effect merely because it is made electronically, (B) each E-Signature on any such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any

of Law governing such subject matter, (ii) each such posting that is not readily capable of bearing either a signature or a reproduction of a signature may be signed, and shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or logically associating with
such posting, an E-Signature, upon which the Agent, each other Secured Party and each Credit Party may rely and assume the authenticity thereof, (iii) each such posting containing a signature, a
reproduction of a signature or an E-Signature shall, for all intents and purposes, have the same effect and weight as a signed paper original and (iv) each party hereto or beneficiary hereto agrees not to
contest the validity or enforceability of any posting on any E-System or E-Signature on any such posting under the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law
requiring certain documents to be in writing or signed; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit such party’s or beneficiary’s right to contest whether any posting to any
E-System or E-Signature has been altered after transmission. 

(c) Separate Agreements. All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and
subject to, in addition to Section 9.2 and this Section 9.3, the separate terms, conditions and privacy policy posted or referenced in such E-System (or such
terms, conditions and privacy policy as may be updated from time to time, including on such E-System) and as otherwise agreed in writing by the Agent and Credit Parties in connection with the use of such E-System. 
 (d) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. ALL
E-SYSTEMS AND ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS SHALL BE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY CREDIT PARTY OR ANY OF THEIR RELATED PERSONS WARRANTS THE ACCURACY,
ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY E-SYSTEMS OR ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS THEREIN. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE BY THE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR (WITHOUT LIMITING

MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE BY ANY CREDIT PARTY OR ANY OF THEIR
RELATED PERSONS IN RESPECT OF ANY E-SYSTEMS MAINTAINED BY AGENT OR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,

 89 

 9.4 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in
exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No course of dealing between any Credit Party, any Affiliate of any Credit Party, the Agent or any Lender shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any
provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

or with respect to any Loan Document, even if required under any Loan Document or at the request of the Agent or Required Lenders, shall be at the expense of such Credit Party (unless otherwise specified hereunder), and neither the Agent nor any
other Secured Party shall be required under any Loan Document to reimburse any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party therefor, except as expressly provided in any Loan Document. In addition, the Borrowers jointly and
severally agree to pay or reimburse within 30 days following written demand therefor together with a customary invoice supporting such reimbursement (a) each of the Agent, its Related Persons and the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners

administration of, any amendment, modification or waiver of any term of or termination of, any Loan Document, any commitment letter therefor, any other document prepared in connection therewith or the consummation and administration of any
transaction contemplated therein, in each case including Attorney Costs of the Agent (provided that reimbursement for Attorney Costs shall be limited to those of one counsel to the Agent and its Affiliates in each relevant jurisdiction, taken
as a whole) (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel to the Agent and its Affiliates, taken as a whole, in any relevant jurisdiction), (b) [reserved], (c) each of the Agent, its Related Persons and the Lenders for all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the

necessary, one local counsel to the Agent and its Related Persons in each relevant jurisdiction, taken as a whole, in any relevant jurisdiction). The Agent agrees to endeavor to provide telephonic or email updates as to the estimated accrued amount
of expenses from time to time at the Borrowers’ reasonable request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrowers to such Indemnitee for fees, expenses or
damages to the extent that there is a final judicial determination that such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof (provided that the Agent shall not be responsible for any reimbursement of
any such amounts to the extent such amounts were received by the Agent on behalf of another Indemnitee and paid by the Agent to such other Indemnitee). 

  
 90 

 9.6 Indemnity. 

(a) Each Credit Party agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Related
Persons (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against all Liabilities (including brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in
any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (but limited, in the case of Attorney Costs, to those of one counsel to all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of
interest among the Indemnitees, one additional counsel for such conflicted Indemnitees, taken as a whole, (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel to the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, in each appropriate jurisdiction and one special counsel
in each relevant specialty, as appropriate, in each case for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest among the Indemnitees, one additional local counsel for such conflicted
Indemnitees, taken as a whole, in any such relevant jurisdiction and one additional special counsel, as applicable, to each group of similarly situated Indemnitees) (i) any Loan Document any Secured Obligation (or the repayment thereof), the
use or intended use of the proceeds of any Loan or any securities filing of, or with respect to, any Credit Party, including, but not limited to any Contractual Obligation entered into in connection with any
E-Systems or other Electronic Transmissions, in each case, related to the management or administration of or used in connection with any of the foregoing or (ii) any actual or prospective investigation,
litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of securities or creditors (and including Attorney Costs in any case, but subject to the limitations set forth above), whether
or not any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirement of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract,
tort or otherwise in each case related to the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”) whether or not, in each case, the Indemnitee is a party; provided, however, that no Credit Party shall have
any liability under this Section 9.6 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter or any expenses, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter or any expenses other than (to
the extent otherwise liable), to the extent such liability (A) has resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order, (B) relates to any disputes solely among Indemnitees or any of their Related Persons or Affiliates or (C) any settlement of an Indemnified Matter entered into without the
Borrowers’ consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Furthermore, each of the Borrowers and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Credit
Party to waive and not assert against any Indemnitee, any right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Affiliate or Related Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee
shall be obligated to refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrowers to such Indemnitee for fees, expenses or damages to the extent that there is a final judicial determination that such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of such
amounts in accordance with the terms hereof. 

  
 91 

 (b) Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters”
includes all Environmental Liabilities imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising from, or otherwise involving, any Credit Party, any Property of any Credit Party or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to Property or
natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such Property or natural resource or any Property on or contiguous to any Real Estate of any Credit Party, whether or not, with
respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor-in-interest to
any Credit Party or the owner, lessee or operator of any Property of any Credit Party through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such Environmental Liabilities (i) are incurred solely following foreclosure by the Agent or
following the Agent or any Lender having become the successor-in-interest to any Credit Party and are attributable solely to acts of any Indemnitee, (ii) has
resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order, (iii) relates to any
disputes solely among Indemnitees or any of their Related Persons or Affiliates or (iv) relates to any settlement of an Indemnified Matter entered into without the Borrowers’ consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

(c) This Section 9.6 and Section 9.5 shall not apply to Taxes, which shall
be governed by Sections 10.1 and 10.3, other than any Taxes that represent Liabilities arising from any non-Tax claim. 

9.7 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any Property in favor of any Credit Party
or any other Person or against or in payment of any Secured Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from the Borrowers, from any other Credit Party, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of set-off, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver
or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had
not occurred. 
 9.8 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that any assignment by any Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.9, and provided further that the Borrowers may not assign or
transfer any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender. 

  
 92 

 9.9 Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect. 

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Parent, each
Borrower, the other Credit Parties signatory hereto and the Agent and when the Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit
of, each Parent, each Borrower, the other Credit Parties party hereto (in each case except for Article VIII (other than Sections 8.9 and 8.10, in each case, to the extent providing or conferring a right or other benefit to the
Borrowers or any of the other Credit Parties)), the Agent and each Lender receiving the benefits of the Loan Documents and, to the extent provided in Section 8.11, each other Secured Party and, in each case, their
respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document (including in Section 8.9 and, with respect to any Lender or the Agent, this Section 9.9), none of
Parents, the Borrowers, any Lender or the Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein. 

(b) Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign (a “Sale”) all or a
portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Loans) to (i) any existing Lender, (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender,
(iii) subject to compliance with Section 9.9(g), an Affiliated Lender or (iv) any other Person; provided that (A) any Sale pursuant to this clause (iv) shall require the Borrowers’ consent so
long as no Event of Default under Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(f), or Section 7.1(g) has occurred and is continuing (which consent of the Borrower shall be deemed to have
been given unless an objection is delivered to the Agent within 10 Business Days after notice of a proposed Sale is delivered to the Borrower), (B) the Borrower’s consent shall in all cases be required (and may be withheld in the
Borrowers’ discretion notwithstanding the foregoing) with respect to a Sale pursuant to this clause (iv) to a Disqualified Lender and (B) Agent shall provide to the Borrowers notice of any Sale pursuant to this clause (iv);
provided, however, that (A) such Sales shall not be required to be ratable between each Loan but must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender with respect to the Loan, (B) for each Loan, the
aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an
Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in such facility or is made with the prior consent of the Borrowers and the Agent, (C) such Sales
shall be effective only upon the acknowledgment in writing of such Sale by the Agent and (D) interest accrued prior to and through the date of any such Sale may not be assigned. Subject to Section 1.7(d), the
Agent’s refusal to accept a Sale to, or the imposition of additional conditions or limitations (including limitations on voting) upon Sales to an Affiliate of a Credit Party (other than an Affiliated Lender in accordance with
Section 9.9(g)), a holder of Junior Indebtedness or ABL Obligations or an Affiliate of such a holder (in each case other than a Credit Party or Affiliated Lender in accordance with Section 9.9(g)),
shall not be deemed to be unreasonable. For the avoidance of doubt, Assignments to Affiliated Lenders are subject to the provisions of Section 9.9(g). 

(c) Procedure. The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause
(e), (f) or (h) below) shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by the Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the

  
 93 

 
Assignment) evidencing such Sale, together with any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to the Agent), any Tax forms required to be delivered pursuant
to Section 10.1 and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 to the Agent, unless waived or reduced by the Agent. Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such Assignment is
made in accordance with clause (iii) of Section 9.9(b), upon the Agent (and the Borrowers, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the Agent shall
record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment. 
 (d) Effectiveness.
Subject to the recording of an Assignment by the Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 1.4(b) (for purposes of clarification, including but not limited to the prior receipt of acceptances to assignment required pursuant
to Section 9.9(b)), (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have
the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been
assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than
those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall
cease to be a party hereto). 
 (e) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this
Section 9.9, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or
interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to the Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s
Indebtedness or equity securities; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with
clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder. 

(f) Participants and SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each
Lender may, (x) with notice to the Agent and at its own cost, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the
making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent
from the Agent or the Borrowers, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than Disqualified Lenders) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to
the Loans); provided, however, that, whether as a 

  
 94 

 
result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans
hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Credit Parties and
the Secured Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that each
such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Article X (subject to the requirements and limitations therein), but, with respect to Section 10.1, only to the extent such participant or SPV timely
delivers the Tax forms such Lender is required to collect pursuant to Section 10.1(h) and then only to the extent of any amount in respect of the interest subject to such grant or participation to which such Lender would be
entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment under Section 10.1 results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable
participation; provided, however that in no case shall an SPV or a participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and the Borrowers shall not, at any time, be obligated to make any payment to a participant
in excess of the amount that the Borrowers would have been obligated to pay to such Lender had such participation not been sold, except to the extent such payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable
participation, and (iii) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any
Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in
clauses (ii), (iii) and (vi) of Section 9.1(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and releases of Guarantees or Collateral. No
party hereto shall institute (and the Borrowers and each Parent shall cause each other Credit Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or
similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each
Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to be reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement in the
preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the Payment in Full of the Obligations. Each Lender selling a participation or granting an option to an SPV shall keep, as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers solely for Tax purposes, a register of such participation or option (the “Participant Register”) specifying such participant’s or SPV’s
name and address and entitlement to payments of principal and interest, and terms of its participation in a manner similar to Section 1.4(b); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any
portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or SPV or any information relating to a participant’s or SPV’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan
Document) 

  
 95 

 
to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f. 103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. This section shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form”
within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code. The Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining any Participant Register. Any participation made or SPV option granted to any Person in violation of this
Section 9.9(f) shall be void ab initio. 
 (g) Affiliated Lenders. 

(i) In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each Lender may assign all or a
portion of any one or more of its Loans to any Person who, after giving effect to such assignment, would be an Affiliated Lender (without the consent of any Person but subject to acknowledgment by the Agent (which acknowledgment shall be provided
promptly after request therefor)); provided that: 
 (A) [reserved]; 

(B) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Loans or Incremental Loans shall execute and
deliver to the Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 9.9(g)(i)(B) hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”); 

(C) [reserved]; and 

(D) immediately after giving effect to such assignment, (1) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans held
by all Affiliated Lenders (other than Sponsor Fund Affiliates) shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding under this Agreement, (2) with respect to an assignment to a Sponsor Fund Affiliate, the
aggregate principal amount of all Loans which may be assigned to Sponsor Fund Affiliates shall in no event exceed, as calculated at the time of the consummation of any aforementioned assignments, 49.9% of the aggregate amount of the Loans then
outstanding and (3) for any calculation of Required Lenders, the Loans of Sponsor Fund Affiliates may not, in the aggregate, account for more than 49.9% of the Loans in determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any amendment or
waiver. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Affiliated Lenders may be excluded from meetings
solely among Lenders and shall not receive, or be entitled to receive, any information developed by, or on behalf of, the Agent or any Lender that is provided solely to Lenders (and their auditors, advisors and attorneys) by the Agent or any Lender.

  
 96 

 (iii) Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.1 or
the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders, all affected Lenders or all Lenders have (A) consented to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action
with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Agent or any Lender to undertake any
action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, an Affiliated Lender shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating Required Lenders, including both the amount approving the action and the total amount of the
Loans; provided that, without the consent of an Affiliated Lender, no amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action shall (1) increase any Commitment of such Affiliated Lender, (2) extend the due date for any scheduled
installment of principal (including at maturity) of any Loan held by such Affiliated Lender, (3) extend the due date for interest under the Loan Documents owed to such Affiliated Lender, (4) reduce any amount owing to such Affiliated
Lender under any Loan Document, (5) amend or waive any provision of any Loan Document regarding pro rata payments or sharing of payments, in each case, in a manner adverse to such Affiliated Lender, or (6) affect an Affiliated Lender
disproportionately and adversely in relation to all other Lenders holding the applicable Loan who are not Affiliated Lenders. 

(iv) Each Affiliated Lender, solely in its capacity as a holder of any Loans, hereby agrees that, if any Credit Party shall be
subject to any Insolvency Proceeding, such Affiliated Lender shall not (A) vote in opposition to a plan of reorganization (pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §1126) of such Credit Party that is approved by the Lenders (exclusive of all Affiliated
Lenders) holding a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans (exclusive of Loans held by Affiliated Lenders) hereunder, unless such plan of reorganization proposes to treat the Obligations or claims held by such Affiliated Lender in
a manner that is less favorable to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of the Obligations or claims held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders or (B) vote in favor of any such plan of reorganization of such Credit Party that
has not been approved by Lenders (exclusive of all Affiliated Lenders) holding a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans (exclusive of Loans held by Affiliated Lenders) hereunder. 

(v) No Affiliated Lender shall be required to make any representations that Parents, the Borrowers and such Subsidiary are not
in possession of any information regarding Parents, the Borrowers, their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or their assets in connection with any assignment and assumption or any of the transactions contemplated thereby that has not previously
been disclosed to the Agent and private siders. 

  
 97 

 (h) In addition to the other rights provided in this
Section 9.9, each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Loans owing to it to Parents, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries on a non-pro rata basis, subject
to the following limitations: 
 (i) (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, or would
immediately result therefrom and (B) none of Parents, the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries shall use the proceeds of any ABL Loans to acquire such Loans; 

(ii) Parents, the Borrowers or any of the Borrower’ Subsidiaries shall repurchase such Loans through either
(x) conducting one or more modified Dutch auctions or other buy-back offer processes, including pursuant to Section 1.7(d) hereof (each, an “Offer Process”) with
a third party financial institution as auction agent to repurchase all or any portion of the applicable Class of Loans; provided that (A) notice of such Offer Process shall be made to all Loan Lenders and (B) such Offer Process
is conducted pursuant to procedures mutually established by the Agent and Borrower which are consistent with Section 1.7(d) and Section 9.9(h) or (y) open market purchases on a non-pro rata
basis, and in each case such repurchase shall be permitted under Section 5.4 and Section 5.11; 
 (iii) with
respect to all repurchases made by Parents, the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 9.9(h), (A) none of Parents, the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be
required to make any representations that Parents, the Borrowers or such Subsidiary is not in possession of any information regarding Parents, the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or their assets, Borrowers’ ability to perform
their Obligations or any other matter that may be material to a decision by any Lender to participate in any offer or enter into any assignment and assumption or any of the transactions contemplated thereby that has not previously been disclosed to
the Agent and private siders, (B) such repurchases shall be in compliance with the terms hereof, (C) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would immediately thereafter result from such repurchase,

Agent an assignment and assumption in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and (F) all parties to the relevant repurchases shall render customary “big-boy” disclaimer letters
or any such disclaimers shall be incorporated into the terms of the assignment and assumption; and 

(iv) following repurchase by Parents, the Borrowers or such Subsidiary pursuant to this Section, the Loans so repurchased
shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by Parents, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan
Documents, including, but not limited to (1) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (2) the making of any 

  
 98 

 
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (3) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or
related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the Borrowers shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such repurchase (without limiting the foregoing, in all
events, such Loans may not be resold or otherwise assigned, or subject to any participation, or otherwise transferred by Parents, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries). In connection with any Loans repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this
Section 9.9(h)(iv), the Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation. 

9.10 Non-Public Information; Confidentiality. 

(a) Non-Public Information. The Agent and each Lender each acknowledges and
agrees that it may receive material non-public information (“MNPI”) hereunder concerning the Credit Parties and their Affiliates and agrees to use such information in compliance with
all relevant policies, procedures and applicable Requirements of Laws (including United States federal and state securities laws and regulations). 

(b) Confidential Information. The Agent and each Lender each shall treat confidentially all information obtained by it

Lender each agrees to remain liable for their breach thereof), (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes (A) publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.10 or

 100 

 (e) Distribution of Materials to Lenders. The Credit Parties
acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents and all reports, notices, communications and other information or materials provided or delivered by, or on behalf of, the Credit Parties hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower
Materials”) may be, but is not required to be, disseminated by, or on behalf of, the Agent, and made available, to the Lenders by posting such Borrower Materials on an E-System (subject to
recipients’ agreements to be bound by the foregoing confidentiality undertakings via “click-through” agreements) (the “Platform”). The Credit Parties authorize the Agent to download copies of their logos from its
website and post copies thereof on an E-System. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and
expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications (as defined below). No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Agent or any of its
Related Persons (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Parent, any Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or
consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Credit Party’s or the Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively,
any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that any Credit Party provides to the Agent pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Agent or any Lender by means of
electronic communications pursuant to this Section 9.10(e), including through the Platform. 
 (f)
Material Non-Public Information. The Credit Parties hereby acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive MNPI with
respect to any of the Credit Parties or any of their Affiliates or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Each of Credit Parties agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall
be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean: that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC”, each of Credit
Parties shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material information with respect to any Credit Party or any of their Affiliates or securities for purposes of United States
Federal and state securities laws other than information that is of a type that would be publicly available if any Parent or Borrower were a public reporting company; (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be
made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor”; and (iv) the Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a
portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrowers notify the Agent promptly that any such

  
 101 

 
document contains material information of a type that would not be publicly available if any Parent or Borrower were a public reporting company: (A) the Loan Documents and
(B) notification of changes in the terms of the Loans, (C) the financial statements referred to in Sections 4.1(a) and 4.1(b) and 4.2(a) and (D) the Compliance Certificate. Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at
or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance
with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information”
portion of the Platform and that may contain MNPI with respect to the Credit Parties or any of their Affiliates or securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 

9.11 Set-off; Sharing of Payments. 

(a) Right of Set-off. Each of the Agent, each Lender and each Affiliate
(including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Credit Party), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law (but in the case of each Lender and each Affiliate, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Agent), to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final, but not including Excluded Accounts) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by the Agent, such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party against any Obligation of any Credit Party then due and owing. No Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off without the prior consent of the Agent or
Required Lenders. Each of the Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights under this Section 9.11 are in addition to any other
rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that the Agent, the Lenders, their respective Affiliates and the other Secured Parties, may have. 

(b) Sharing of Payments, etc. Except as otherwise provided herein, including pursuant to discounted purchases of open
market purchases or otherwise, if any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any principal or interest Obligation of any Credit Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any
right of set-off or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Section 9.9 or Article X or
otherwise in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, the Agent in accordance with the provisions of
the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Lenders such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been
received by the Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if 

  
 102 

 
such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrowers, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (i) if such payment is
rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender without interest and (ii) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of the applicable Credit Party in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the foregoing or in any other Loan Document, in the event any payment to an Affiliated Lender is invalidated, avoided,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or otherwise required to be transferred to a trustee, receiver, Credit Party or estate of a Credit Party in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding solely as a result of such Affiliated Lender
being an Affiliate of a Credit Party, such Affiliated Lender shall have no right, in respect of such payment, of contribution or payment (including by way of participation) from any Lender or the Agents under this
Section 9.11(b) or any other term or provision of any Loan Document providing for the pro rata treatment of Lenders. 

9.12 Counterparts; Facsimile Signature. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to
a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 

9.13 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required
hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder. 

9.14 Captions. The captions and headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the
interpretation of this Agreement. 
 9.15 Independence of Provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents may use several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or similar matters, and that such limitations, tests and measurements are cumulative and must each be performed, except as expressly stated to the
contrary in this Agreement. 
 9.16 Interpretation. This Agreement is the result of negotiations among and has been reviewed
by counsel to Credit Parties, the Agent, each Lender and other parties hereto, and is the product of all parties hereto. Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be construed against the Lenders (or any of them) or the
Agent merely because of the Agent’s or the Lenders’ involvement in the preparation of such documents and agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties hereto has had the advice of counsel with respect to
Sections 9.18 and 9.19. 

  
 103

direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to any Person not a
party to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.6 to the extent damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under the Loan Documents. 

(c) Each party hereto hereby waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each of its Related Persons to waive, release and
agree) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

indemnity given by it in any Loan Document, and each other term, provision, or section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which states as much, and (iii) the provisions of Section 8.1 of the Guaranty and
Security Agreement, in each case, shall (x) survive Payment in Full and any release or termination relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the credit facility established hereunder or thereunder and (y) with respect to

 9.21 Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies the
Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other
information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
 9.22 Replacement of
Lender. After: (i) receipt by the Borrowers of written notice and demand from any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) for any payment provided in Sections 10.1, 10.3 and/or 10.6; or (ii) any
failure by any Lender to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Loan Document in which the consent of each Lender (or each Lender directly affected thereby, as applicable) is required with respect thereto (provided,
in the event such non-consenting Lender is the Agent or an Affiliate of the Agent, the Borrowers shall have given five Business Days prior written notice to the Agent of the Borrowers’ intention to remove
the Agent or such Affiliate pursuant to this Section 9.22; provided, further, that the Agent shall have the right, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 8.9,
to resign as the Agent hereunder effective upon the consummation of the replacement of such Lender pursuant to this Section 9.22), the Borrowers may, at their option, notify the Agent and such Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender) of the Borrowers’ intention to obtain, at the Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (the “Replacement Lender”) for such Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender). In the event the Borrowers obtain a Replacement Lender, the Affected Lender (or such non-consenting Lender) shall sell and assign its Loans to such
Replacement Lender, at par; provided that the Borrowers have reimbursed such Affected Lender for its increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment and, in the case
of such a non-consenting Lender that is being replaced as a result of such Lender’s failure to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to this Agreement to permit a Repricing Event, such non-consenting Lender has been paid any applicable prepayment premium that would be due to it under Section 1.9(b) in connection with such Repricing Event if such non-consenting Lender had not been so replaced. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment pursuant to Section 9.9 within five Business Days after receipt by such
replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 9.22 and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 9.22, the
Borrowers shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment so executed by each Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this
Section 9.22 and Section 9.9. Upon any such assignment and payment and compliance with the other provisions of Section 9.9, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute
a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided that any rights of such replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.22, the Borrowers
shall be permitted to purchase and immediately cancel a non-consenting Lender’s Loans, at par, with proceeds of Incremental Loans or an equity contribution to the Borrowers; provided that the
Borrowers have reimbursed such non-consenting Lender for its increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and, in the case of such a non-consenting Lender that is being replaced as a 

  
 106 

 
result of such Lender’s failure to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to this Agreement to permit a Repricing Event, such
non-consenting Lender has been paid any applicable prepayment premium that would be due to it under Section 1.9(b) in connection with such Repricing Event if such non-consenting Lender had not been so replaced. 
 9.23 Joint and Several. The obligations of the
Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are joint and several. 
 9.24 Creditor-Debtor Relationship. In
connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) (i) the credit facility evidenced by this Agreement and any related arranging or other services by the Agent, any
Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Credit Parties and such Persons; (ii) Credit Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting,
regulatory, and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Credit Parties are capable of evaluating and understanding, and do understand and accept, the terms, risks, and conditions of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (b) each of the Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal in connection with this credit facility, is not the financial advisor, agent, or
fiduciary of, to, or for any Credit Party or any of their Affiliates or any other Person and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or
therein; and (c) the Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from the Credit Parties and their Affiliates and have no obligation to disclose any of
such interests to any Credit Party or any such Affiliate. To the fullest extent permitted by all Requirements of Law, each Credit Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any
arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

9.25 ABL Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereunder (a) acknowledges that it has received a copy of the ABL
Intercreditor Agreement, (b) consents to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, (c) agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions
contrary to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and (d) authorizes and instructs the Agent to enter into the ABL Intercreditor Agreement as Collateral Agent and on behalf of such Lender, and any documents relating thereto and
(e) agrees that no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of any action taken by the Agent pursuant to this Section or the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby further irrevocably authorizes
and directs the Agent (i) to take such actions as shall be required to release Liens on the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement and (ii) to enter into such amendments, supplements
or other modifications to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement in connection with any extension, renewal, refinancing or replacement of any Obligations and any Indebtedness incurred under the ABL Documents as are reasonably acceptable to the Agent to
give effect thereto, in each case on behalf of such Lender and without any further consent, authorization or other action by and on behalf of such Lender. 

  
 107 

 9.26 Collateral and Guarantee Requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, (a) the Collateral will exclude (i) any fee-owned real property with a fair market value of less than $2,500,000 (as determined in good
faith by the Borrowers on the date of acquisition) and all leasehold, sub-leasehold and other similar interests in real property (with no requirement to obtain leasehold mortgages, landlord waivers, consents,
estoppels, or collateral access letters; provided, however, that in the event any actions are taken to create and/or perfect security interests in such assets or property for the benefit of the secured parties under any ABL Facility
with respect to Collateral Access Agreements, such actions shall also be taken to perfect such security interests for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents), (ii) pledges and security interests currently prohibited by
applicable law, rule or regulation (including any requirement to obtain the consent of any governmental authority or third party, unless such consent has been obtained) (to the extent such law, rule or regulation is effective under applicable
anti-assignment provisions of the UCC), other than proceeds and receivables thereof, (iii) any lease, license or other agreement or any property subject to a purchase money security interest or similar arrangement, in each case, other than with
respect to a purchase money security interest or similar arrangement, in existence on the Closing Date or upon the Acquisition of the relevant Subsidiary party thereto, to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein would violate or
invalidate such lease, license or agreement or purchase money arrangement or create a right of termination in favor of any other party thereto (other than the Borrowers or a Guarantor) or otherwise require consent thereunder, unless such consent has
been obtained after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the UCC or other applicable law, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the UCC notwithstanding such prohibition, and other than proceeds and
receivables thereof, (iv) any governmental licenses or state or local franchises, charters and authorizations to the extent creation of a security interest thereon is prohibited or restricted thereby (after giving effect to the applicable
anti-assignment provision of the UCC) (but not proceeds of the foregoing), for so long as the applicable franchise, charter, or authorization prohibits the creation of a security interest therein, (v) any intent-to-use Trademark application prior to the filing of a “Statement of Use” or “Amendment to Allege Use” with respect thereto, but solely to the extent, if any, that, and solely during
the period, if any, in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of any registration issuing from such intent-to-use
trademark application under applicable federal law (provided that upon filing with, and acceptance by, the United States Patent and Trademark Office of an amendment to allege use pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 1051(c) or a statement of
use under 15 U.S.C. Section 1051(d) (or any successor provisions), such intent-to-use trademark application shall be considered Collateral), (vi) those assets as to
which the Agent and the Borrowers reasonably agree (1) a security interest over which would reasonably be expected to result in material adverse Tax consequences or (2) that the cost of obtaining such a security interest or perfection
thereof are excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of the security to be afforded thereby, (vii) any assets owned by any Foreign Subsidiary or Disregarded Domestic Subsidiary, (viii) interests in joint ventures and non-Wholly Owned Subsidiaries which cannot be pledged without the consent of unaffiliated third parties (other than the Borrowers or a Guarantor) after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of
the UCC or other applicable law, (ix) except to the extent a security interest therein can be perfected by a UCC filing or to the extent included in the collateral for, or otherwise required to be perfected pursuant to or in connection with,
any ABL Facility, Cash and Cash Equivalents, deposit and securities accounts (including securities entitlements and related assets) and any other assets requiring perfection through control agreements or perfection by “control” (other than
intercompany notes, equity interests in the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries required to be pledged under any Loan 

  
 108 

 
Document (or, if applicable, uncertificated security control agreements), instruments and tangible chattel paper) and (x) any non-U.S. assets or
assets that require action under the law of any non-U.S. jurisdiction to create or perfect a security interest in such assets, including any Intellectual Property owned or registered in any non-U.S. jurisdiction (and no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction shall be required) (provided that the
foregoing shall not operate to exclude any such asset to the extent that such asset is otherwise included in the definition of Collateral and a security interest in such asset may be created and perfected under the laws of the State of New York (or
any other applicable state of the United States) for the purposes of determinations under such laws by the filing of a UCC financing statement (it being understood that there will be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the
laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction)) (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”; provided, however, that “Excluded Assets” shall not include any proceeds, products,
substitutions or replacements of Excluded Assets (unless such proceeds, products, substitutions or replacements would otherwise constitute Excluded Assets under the definition thereof)), and (b) no perfection actions shall be required with
respect to (i) motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title with a value of less than $1,000,000 individually and (ii) letter of credit rights (other than those that constitute supporting obligations as to included
Collateral and/or to the extent that perfection can be accomplished through the filing of a UCC financing statement) with a value of less than $2,000,000 and commercial tort claims with a value of less than $2,000,000. 

9.27 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 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 party hereto 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. 

  
 109 

 9.28 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it
is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with the normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the first
currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from them to the Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”),
be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Agent or the relevant Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Agent or the relevant Lender may in accordance with the normal banking
procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Agent or such Lender from the Borrowers in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers
agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to jointly and severally indemnify the Agent, or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater
than the sum originally due to the Agent or such Lender in such currency, the Agent or such Lender agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). 

9.29 Certain ERISA Matters. 

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from
the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for

 (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Agent, in its sole discretion,
and such Lender. 
 (b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause
(a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender
further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the
benefit of the Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that: 

(i) none of the Agent or the Joint Lead Arrangers or their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of

 (v) no fee or other compensation is being

 111 

 (c) The Agent and each of the Joint Lead Arrangers hereby informs the Lenders that each such
Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated

9.30 Relationship with Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the
obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. Amounts payable hereunder by the Agent or any Lender, on the one hand, to any other of such Persons, on the other hand, shall be separate and independent debts and obligations, and claims by
one of such Persons against any other of such Persons may proceed between such Persons without requiring the joinder of the Agent or any Lender as an additional party. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of the Agent or Lenders pursuant to the
Loan Documents shall cause the Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, to be deemed a partnership, association, joint venture, or any other kind of entity with each other or with any Credit Party, or to have any Control of each other or any Credit
Party. 
 9.31 Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by or on behalf of any
Credit Party or the transfer to the Agent or any Lender of any Property (including through set-off) should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any Debtor Relief Law, including
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of Property (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Agent or any Lender, or
any of them, is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that such Persons, or any of
them, is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees of such Persons related thereto, the liability of all affected Credit Parties automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and
restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made. 
 9.32 Survival of Representations and Warranties,
etc. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and
thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Agent or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of any Default at the time of the making of any Loan and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 

  
 112 

 ARTICLE X 

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 

10.1 Taxes. 

(a) Except as otherwise required by any Requirement of Law, each payment by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party
under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any Taxes. 
 (b) If any Taxes shall be
required by any Requirement of Law to be deducted from or in respect of any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the amount payable by the applicable
Credit Party shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any amounts payable under this Section 10.1), the applicable
Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Credit Party or the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the relevant Credit Party or the applicable
withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. 

(c) In addition, the Credit Parties shall pay, and authorize the Agent to pay in their name, any stamp, documentary, excise or
property Tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution,
delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein, except any such Taxes that are Other
Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 9.22) (collectively, “Other Taxes”).  

(d) Without duplication of any amounts paid pursuant to Section 10.1(b) or (c), the Credit Parties shall reimburse and
jointly and severally indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of written demand therefor (with copy to the Agent), each Secured Party for all Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section 10.1) paid or payable by such Secured Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Secured Party and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the Secured Party (or of the Agent on behalf of such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the
Borrowers with copy to the Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent demonstrable error. 

  
 113 

 (e) Each Secured Party (other than the Agent) shall severally indemnify the
Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Secured Party (but only to the extent that the Credit Parties have not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting
the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Secured Party’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.9(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded
Taxes attributable to such Secured Party, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Secured Party by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Secured Party hereby
authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Secured Party under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Secured Party from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this
paragraph (e). 
 (f) Within 30 days (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Agent in its sole discretion) after the
date of any payment of Taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Other Taxes) by any Credit Party pursuant to this Section 10.1, such Credit Party shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in
Section 9.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. 

(g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall use its
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such a change
or assignment would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to jointly and
severally pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(h) Each Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made
under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), at the time or times prescribed by applicable laws and reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent (or, in
the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit
the Borrowers and the Agent or the relevant Lender, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to withholding Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of
withholding or deduction, and (C) such Secured Party’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable withholding Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Secured Party pursuant to the Loan Documents or
otherwise to establish such Secured Party’s status for withholding Tax purposes in the applicable 

  
 114 

 
jurisdiction. In addition, any Secured Party, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) as will enable the Borrowers or the Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the
relevant Lender) to determine whether or not such Secured Party is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission
of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 10.1(h)(i), (h)(ii) and (h)(iv) below) shall not be required if in the Secured Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission
would subject such Secured Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Secured Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: 

(i) Each Non-U. S. Lender Party shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes
obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (i) and (z) from time to time if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the
Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the Agent and the Borrowers (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, with two duly executed originals

form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (h) and (D) from time to time if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the
Agent and the Borrowers (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two duly executed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is not subject to U.S. backup

 (iii) Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or
identified an SPV as such to the Agent shall collect from such participant or SPV the documents described in this clause (h) (including, without limitation, any documents described in the first three sentences of this clause (h)). 

(iv) If a payment made to a Non-U.S. Lender Party or U.S. Lender Party under any Loan
Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Non-U.S. Lender Party or U.S. Lender Party were to fail to comply with the applicable requirements of FATCA (including those contained in
Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Non-U.S. Lender Party or U.S. Lender Party shall deliver to the Agent and the Borrowers (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant
Lender) at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Agent or the Borrowers (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as

in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

  
 116 

 (i) If any Secured Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has
received a refund (whether in cash or in direct credit in lieu of a cash refund) of Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Credit Parties or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 10.1, it shall without unreasonable delay pay over such refund to the Credit Parties (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Credit Parties under this
Section 10.1 giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Secured Party
and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Credit Parties, upon the request of such Secured Party, shall repay to such Secured Party the amount paid over pursuant to
this Section 10.1(i) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1(i), in no event shall the Secured Party be required to pay any amount to a Credit Party pursuant to this Section 10.1(i) the payment of
which would place the Secured Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Secured Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been
deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Secured Party to make available its Tax returns (or any
other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Credit Parties or any other Person. 
 (j) Each
party’s obligations under this Section 10.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 
 10.2 Illegality. If after the Closing Date any
Lender shall reasonably determine that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any
Lender or its Lending Office to make LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Agent, the obligation of that Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender shall have notified the
Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exists. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it. 

(a) Subject to clause (c) below, if any Lender shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, the
Borrowers shall prepay in full, together with all interest thereon, or convert to Base Rate Loans, all LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if
such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans. 

(b) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans has been terminated, the Borrowers may elect, by
giving notice to such Lender through the Agent that all Loans which would otherwise be made by any such Lender as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans. 

  
 117 

 (c) Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this
Section 10.2, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the
judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender. 
 10.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. 

(a) If any Lender or the Agent shall determine that, due to either (i) the introduction of, or any change in, or change in
the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in the case of either clause (i) or (ii)
subsequent to the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender or the Agent of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loans or any reduction in any amount received or receivable by such Lender or the Agent
under any Loan Document, then the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for, and shall from time to time, within 30 days of demand therefor by such Lender or the Agent (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the
account of such Lender or the Agent, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such increased costs; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender or the Agent pursuant to
this Section 10.3(a) for any increased costs incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Agent notifies the Borrowers, in writing of the increased costs and of such Lender’s or the
Agent’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above
shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 (b) If any Lender shall have determined that: 

(i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation; 

(ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation; 

(iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other
Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof; or 
 (iv) compliance by such Lender (or
its Lending Office) or any entity controlling the Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation; 
 affects the amount of capital required or
expected to be maintained by such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital)
determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitment(s), loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, within 30 days of demand of such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrowers shall jointly
and severally pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender (or the entity controlling the Lender) for 

  
 118 

 
such increase; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 10.3(b) for any amounts incurred more than 180
days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers, in writing of the amounts and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the event giving rise to such increase is
retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

(c) It is understood and agreed that (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Pub.L. 111-203, H.R. 4173), all rules and regulations in connection therewith, all guidelines and directives in connection therewith and any compliance by a Lender with any request or directive relating thereto and
(ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States of America or foreign regulatory
authorities, in each case in respect of this clause (ii) pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, for the purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be adopted subsequent to the Closing Date other than any such rules, regulations, guidelines
or directives with which the Lenders, as applicable, are required to comply as of the Closing Date. 
 (d) This
Section 10.3 shall not apply to Taxes described in (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, Connection Income Taxes, Other Taxes or Taxes indemnifiable pursuant to Section 10.1(d).

 10.4 Funding Losses. The Borrowers agrees to jointly and severally reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any
actual loss or expense (excluding loss of profit) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of: 
 (a) the
failure of the Borrowers to make any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan (including payments made after any acceleration thereof); 

(b) the failure of the Borrowers to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after the Borrowers have given (or is deemed to have
given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation; 
 (c) the failure of the Borrowers to make any
prepayment after the Borrowers have given a notice in accordance with Section 1.7; 
 (d) the
prepayment (including pursuant to Section 1.8) of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; or 

(e) the conversion pursuant to Section 1.6 of any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that
is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period; 
 (f) including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation
or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that, with respect to the expenses described in clauses
(d) and (e) above, such 

  
 119 

 
Lender shall have notified the Agent of any such expense within two Business Days of the date on which such expense was incurred. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by the
Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 10.4 and under Section 10.3(a): each LIBOR Rate Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be
conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR used in determining the interest rate for such LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period,
whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan is in fact so funded. 
 10.5 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Agent shall have determined in
good faith that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or that the LIBOR applicable pursuant to
Section 1.3(a) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding or maintaining such Loan, the Agent will forthwith give
notice of such determination to the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice,
the Borrowers may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it. If the Borrowers do not revoke such notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Borrowers, in the
amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by the Borrowers, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans. 

10.6 Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender or the Agent claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article X shall
deliver to the Borrowers (in the case of a Lender, with a copy to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender or the Agent hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the
Borrowers in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error.
