“Parent Borrower”), the Subsidiary Borrowers party hereto, LVB ACQUISITION, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, and each
lender from time to time party hereto (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually, a “Lender”). 
 PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS 
 Pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as this and other capitalized terms used in these preliminary
statements are defined in Section 1.01 below), LVB Acquisition Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), an Indiana corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings, consummated an offer to purchase (together with any
extensions and/or subsequent offering periods, the “Offer”) all outstanding shares of common stock, without par value of the Parent Borrower, at an offer price of $46.00 per share. Following the consummation of the Offer and
substantially simultaneously with the initial Borrowings under the CF Facilities, Merger Sub will merge (the “Merger”) with and into the Parent Borrower, with (i) subject to dissenters’ rights, the Merger Consideration
being paid, and (ii) the Parent Borrower surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings. 
 The Borrowers have requested that the
Lenders extend credit to the Borrowers in the form of a Revolving Credit Facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000. The Revolving Credit Facility may include one or more Letters of Credit from time to time and one or more
Swing Line Loans from time to time. 
 The proceeds of the Initial Revolving Borrowing (to the extent permitted in accordance with the
definition of the term “Permitted Initial Revolving Borrowing Purposes”), if any, together with (i) a portion of the Borrowers’ cash on hand, (ii) the borrowings under the CF Facilities on the Closing Date, (iii) the
borrowings under the Senior Interim Loan Facility and the Senior Subordinated Interim Loan Facility, if any, and (iv) the proceeds of the issuance of the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes, if any, will be used on or about the
Closing Date to finance the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the Tender Offer Facility and pay the Merger Consideration and the Transaction Expenses. The proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans made after the Closing Date will be used for
working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, including the financing of Permitted Acquisitions. Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit will be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and
their Subsidiaries. 
 The applicable Lenders have indicated their willingness to lend, and the L/C Issuers have indicated their willingness
to issue Letters of Credit, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Arrangers, the Agents, their respective lending affiliates or any entity acting as an L/C Issuer hereunder shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any of their respective

 Applicable Rate 
  

							
	 Pricing Level
	  	 Senior Secured Leverage Ratio
	  	Eurocurrency Rate for

Fees	 	Base Rate
	 1
	  	>4.0 to 1.0	  	1.75%	 	0.75%

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition or elsewhere in this Agreement, if it is subsequently determined that
the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio set forth in any Compliance Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent is inaccurate for any reason and the result thereof is that the Lenders received interest or fees for any period based on an Applicable
Rate that is less than that which would have been applicable had the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio been accurately determined, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Rate” for any day occurring within the period covered
by such Compliance Certificate shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately determined Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the interest or fees theretofore paid by the
Borrowers for the relevant period pursuant to Sections 2.08 and 2.09 as a result of the miscalculation of the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be (and shall be) due and payable under the relevant provisions of Section 2.08 or
2.09, as applicable, at the time the interest or fees for such period were required to be paid pursuant to said Section (and shall remain due and payable until paid in full, together with all amounts owing under Section 2.08, in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement).

the last day that actual commitment fees were paid (or if no such date has occurred, the Closing Date) and ending on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December and the Maturity Date.

Collateral as they deem appropriate (including the release of any Loan Party or all or any portion of the Collateral) without notice or consent from such Person, whether or not such action impairs the ability of such Person to be repaid its Other

return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing some loans, which may be priced at, above, or below such announced rate. Any change in such rate announced by the Administrative Agent shall take

 ARTICLE II 
 The Commitments and Credit Extensions 
 SECTION 2.01. The Loans; Protective Advances. 
 (a) The Revolving Credit Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrowers as elected by the Parent Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.02 (each such loan, a “Revolving Credit Loan”) from time to time, on any Business Day after the Closing Date until the Maturity Date (provided that each Lender agrees to make loans denominated in
Dollars in an 

  

 59 

 
aggregate amount not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the Initial Revolving Borrowing, at the request of the Parent Borrower, on the Closing Date), in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Revolving Credit Borrowing, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans plus such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Protective Advances shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof,
the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a) (provided that, in each such case, such Revolving Credit Loans shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the
proceeds thereof, result at such time in the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures’ exceeding the lesser of (x) the Borrowing Base and (y) the Aggregate Commitments, in each case as then in effect (subject to Section 2.01(b)) and
the Borrowers may prepay under Section 2.05. Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 
 (b) Subject to the limitations set forth below (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the second sentence of Section 2.01(a) or in Article IV), the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrowers
and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation), to make Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans on behalf of all Lenders to the Borrowers, at any time that any
condition precedent set forth in Article IV has not been satisfied or waived, which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (x) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof or
(y) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations (each such loan, a “Protective Advance”). Any Protective Advance may be made in a principal amount that would cause the
aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures to exceed the Borrowing Base; provided that no Protective Advance may be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such Protective Advance (together with the outstanding
principal amount of any outstanding Protective Advances) the aggregate principal amount of all Protective Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed 5.0% of the Borrowing Base as determined on the date of such proposed Protective Advance;
provided further that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Protective Advances plus the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures at such time shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments as then in effect. Each Protective Advance shall
be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be
revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and will become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. The making of a Protective Advance on any one occasion shall not
obligate the Administrative Agent to make any Protective Advance on any other occasion and under no circumstance shall the Borrowers have the right to require that a Protective Advance be made. At any time that the conditions precedent set forth in
Article IV have been satisfied or waived, the Administrative Agent may request the Lenders to make a Revolving Credit Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time, the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk
participations described in Section 2.01(c). 
  

 60 

 (c) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Pro Rata Share. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance. 
 SECTION 2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 
 (a) Each Borrowing (other than Swing Line Borrowings and Protective Advances with respect to which this Section 2.02 shall not apply), each conversion of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and
each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than
12:00 noon (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (ii) one (1) Business Day before
the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided that the notice referred to in subclause (i) above may be delivered not later than 12:00 noon two Business Days prior to the Closing Date in the case of the initial Credit
Extensions. Each telephonic notice by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections
2.03(c) and 2.04(c) and except for Protective Advances, which shall be made in the amounts required by Section 2.01(b), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Parent Borrower is requesting a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a conversion of Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other,
or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or
continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Parent Borrower fails to specify a
Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base
Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with 

  

 61 

 
respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Parent Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans
in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. Protective Advances may not be converted to Eurocurrency Rate Loans under any circumstances.

 (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata
Share of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans
described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than
1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is on the Closing Date, Section 4.01), the Administrative
Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrowers in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrowers on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds
or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower; provided that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with
respect to such Borrowing is given by the Parent Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and second, to the Borrowers as provided
above. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest
Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for
Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time when Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 
 (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there
shall not be more than fifteen (15) Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
  

 62 

 (f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not
relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any
Borrowing. 
 (g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such
Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of
such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds
available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the Borrowers severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest
rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
the foregoing. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(g) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such
interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the
applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a
Lender that shall have failed to make such a payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 2.03. Letters of Credit. 
 (a) The Letter of Credit Commitments. 
 (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (x) from time to time on any Business Day during the
period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers (provided that any Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower) and to
amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (y) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued
pursuant to this Section 2.03; provided that L/C Issuers shall not be obligated to make L/C Credit Extensions with respect to Letters of Credit, and Lenders shall not be obligated to participate in Letters of Credit if, as of the date of
the applicable Letter of Credit, (I) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed 

  

 63 

 
such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (II) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (III) the
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Sublimit, or (IV) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the lesser of (1) the Borrowing Base and (2) the Aggregate Commitments. Each request by the Parent
Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within
the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to
replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 
 (ii) An L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of
Credit if: 
 (1) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve
months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless otherwise agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent; or 
 (2) the
expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless (1) each Appropriate Lender shall have approved such expiry date or (2) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations
in respect of such requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized. 
 (iii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any
Letter of Credit if: 
 (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms
purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C
Issuer shall prohibit, or direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction,
reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing
Date (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder); or 
 (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit
would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally; or 
  

 64 

 (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such
Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars. 
 (iv) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any
Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment
to such Letter of Credit. 
 (v) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Appropriate Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued
by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in
connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with
respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer. 
 (b) Procedures for
Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. 
 (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as
the case may be, upon the request of the Parent Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent
Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case
may be; or, in each case, such later date and time as the relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall
specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer: (a) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the amount thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof;
(d) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (e) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any
drawing thereunder; and (g) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail
reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other
matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request. 
 (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant
L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Parent Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the
Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. 

  

 65 

 
Unless the relevant L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to
the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on
the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrowers (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be
deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such
Letter of Credit. 
 (iii) If the Parent Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer shall
agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such
renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such
twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C Issuer for any such
renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time until an expiry date
not later than the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the relevant L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no
obligation at such time, to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received actual notice (which
may be by telephone or in writing) sufficiently in advance of the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, or the Parent Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02
is not then satisfied (it being understood that such notice shall not be presumptively sufficient unless such notice is provided not less than five (5) Business Days in advance of such Nonrenewal Notice Date). 
 (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the
beneficiary thereof, the relevant L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
 (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 
 (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall notify promptly the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent
thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the first Business 

  

 66 

 
Day following the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrowers shall
reimburse the L/C Issuer in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of
the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount under a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall be
deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal
amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Appropriate Lenders, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan
Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not
affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
 (ii) Each Lender (including any such Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall
upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of any
Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Letter of Credit not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent (which may be the same Business Day such notice is provided if such notice is provided prior to
12:00 noon), whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant L/C Issuer. 
 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount of a
Letter of Credit that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from
the relevant L/C Issuer a L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event,
each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute a L/C Advance
from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03. 
 (iv) Until each Appropriate Lender funds
its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be
solely for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer. 
  

 67 

 (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C
Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which such Lender may have against the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether
or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that, except with respect to the initial Credit Extensions made on the Closing Date, each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Parent Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the
relevant L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the
date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer
in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of the relevant L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 (d) Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Appropriate Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with this
Section 2.03(c), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from any Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash
Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Appropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during
which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) If any payment
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by
such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Appropriate Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative 

  

 68 

 
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The Obligations of the Lenders under this clause (d)(ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued
by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower or Holdings may have at any time against
any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 
 (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any
loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; 
 (iv) any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant L/C Issuer
under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of
such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; 
 (v) any
exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit;
or 
 (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party; 
 provided that the foregoing shall not
excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which 

  

 69 

 
are waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by acts or omissions of such L/C Issuer
constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such L/C Issuer. 
 (f) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and each
Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit)
or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents,
participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action
taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrowers
hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such
rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer,
shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.03(f); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim
against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by any Borrower that were caused by such L/C Issuer’s
willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any
notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or
proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
 (g) Cash Collateral. If
(i) any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Required Lenders require the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize its L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 8.02(c), (ii) an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f)
occurs and is continuing or (iii) for any reason, any Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time of termination of the Revolving Commitments, then the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an
amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such Event of Default), and shall do so not later than 2:00 p.m. on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i) or (iii), (1) the Business Day that the
Parent Borrower receives notice thereof, if such notice is received on such day prior to 12:00 noon or (2) if clause 

  

 70 

 
(1) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Parent Borrower receives such notice and (y) in the case of the
immediately preceding clause (ii), the Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately succeeding such day. For purposes hereof, “Cash
Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant L/C Issuer and the Appropriate Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances
(“Cash Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Appropriate Lenders). Derivatives of
such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of
the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked accounts at the Administrative Agent and may be invested in readily available Cash Equivalents selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Upon the drawing of any Letter
of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the then
Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the Borrowers. In the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, if such Event of Default is cured or
waived and no other Event of Default is then occurring and continuing, the amount of any Cash Collateral shall be refunded to the Borrowers. 
 (h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Parent Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit),
(i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of
issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. 
 (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn
under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit). Such letter of credit fees shall be computed
on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of
such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the
Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. 
  

 71 

 (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Borrowers
shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such
fronting fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the
issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other
processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of
demand and are nonrefundable. 
 (k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in any
Letter of Credit Application, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control. 
 (l) Addition of an L/C Issuer. 
 (i) A Lender may become an additional L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant
to a written agreement among the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such additional L/C Issuer. 
 (ii) On the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (and on such other dates as the Administrative Agent may request), each L/C
Issuer shall provide the Administrative Agent a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time together with such other information as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request. 
 (m) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any
obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Parent Borrower hereby acknowledges that the
issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Parent Borrower, and that the Parent Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries. 
 SECTION 2.04. Swing Line Loans. 
 (a)
The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Parent Borrower from time to time on any Business Day
(other than the Closing Date) until the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of
the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C 

  

 72 

 
Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that, after
giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Parent Borrower may
borrow under this Section 2.04 and reborrow under this Section 2.04 (provided that, in each such case, such Swing Line Loans shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result at such time
in the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures’ exceeding the lesser of (x) the Borrowing Base and (y) the Aggregate Commitments, in each case as then in effect (subject to Section 2.01(c)) and the Parent Borrower may prepay under
Section 2.05. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Swing Line Loans shall only be denominated in Dollars. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and
the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be
borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 (and any amount in excess of $100,000 shall be an integral multiple of $25,000), and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of
any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will
notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00
p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or
(B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in
such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Parent Borrower. 
 (c) Refinancing of Swing Line
Loans. 
 (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Parent Borrower (which
hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line 

  

 73 

 
Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing
Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to (A) the
minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, (B) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (C) whether the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied
or (D) any reduction in the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or the Borrowing Base after any such Swing Line Loans were made. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Parent Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice
promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available
funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii),
each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender. 

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the
request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s
payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 
 (iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from
the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included
in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to
purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be 

  

 74 

 
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing; provided that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations
shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Parent Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing
Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in
Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest
thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the
Lenders under this clause (d)(ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 (e)
Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Parent Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this
Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Parent Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line
Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender. 
 SECTION 2.05. Prepayments. 
 (a) Optional. 
 (i) The Borrowers
may, upon notice by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be 

  

 75 

 
received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any partial prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (3) any prepayment
of Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances) shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.
Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest
thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

 (ii) The Parent Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to
time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the
prepayment, and (2) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $25,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the
date and amount of such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. All Swing Line Loans shall be denominated in Dollars only. 
 (iii) The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Protective Advances in whole or in
part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (2) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount
of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice
shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. All Protective Advances shall be denominated in Dollars only. 
 (iv) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowers may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) or 2.05(a)(ii) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of the Revolving Credit Facility, which
refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. 
 (b) Mandatory. 
 (i) If, on any date, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures at any time exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the
Borrowers shall 

  

 76 

 
promptly prepay Protective Advances, Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal
to such excess; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) unless after the prepayment in full of the Protective Advances, Revolving Credit Loans and Swing
Line Loans, such aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. 
 (ii) If, on any
date, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures exceed the lesser of (x) the Borrowing Base and (y) the Aggregate Commitments, in each case as then in effect (subject to Section 2.01(b)), the Borrowers shall promptly prepay first,
Protective Advances and second, Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) unless after the prepayment in full of the Protective Advances, Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans, such aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments then in effect. 
 (iii) At all times following the establishment of the cash management systems pursuant to Section 6.15
and after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Event and notification thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Parent Borrower (subject to the provisions of the Security Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement), on each
Business Day, at or before 1:00 p.m., the Administrative Agent shall apply all immediately available funds credited to the Concentration Account, first to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer
and the Lenders (other than in connection with Cash Management Obligations or Secured Hedge Agreements), pro rata, second to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Loans (including Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances) that may be
outstanding, pro rata, third to prepay the principal of any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, pro rata, fourth to prepay the principal of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans and to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations, pro rata
and fifth to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to any Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, pro rata. 
 (c) Interest, Funding
Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period
therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05. 
 Notwithstanding any of the other
provisions of this Section 2.05, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.05 prior to the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.05 in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, any Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to
make any such prepayment otherwise 

  

 77 

 
required to be made thereunder together with accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of
such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from any Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05. Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from any Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans
in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.05. 
 SECTION 2.06. Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

 (a) Optional. The Borrowers may, upon written notice by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused
Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class, in each case without premium or penalty; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent one
(1) Business Day prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $500,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (iii) if, after giving effect to any
reduction of the Commitments, the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Except as provided above, the amount of any such Revolving Credit
Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Parent Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Commitments if such
termination would have resulted from a refinancing of the Revolving Credit Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed. 
 (b) Mandatory. The Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 
 (c)
Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Swing Line Sublimit or the unused Commitments of any Class under this
Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the
termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

 SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans. 
 (a) Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all of its Revolving
Credit Loans outstanding on such date. 
  

 78 

 (b) Swing Line Loans. The Parent Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the Maturity Date.

 (c) Protective Advances. The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance on
the Maturity Date. 
 SECTION 2.08. Interest. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Rate and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for
Revolving Credit Loans. 
 (b) The Borrowers shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all
times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be
specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 
 SECTION 2.09. Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(i) and (j): 
 (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro
Rata Share, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate with respect to commitment fees times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment exceeds the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans
and (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations; provided that any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a
Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrowers prior to
such time; provided further that no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The commitment fees shall accrue at all times from the
Closing Date until the Maturity Date, including at any time during which one or more of 

  

 79 

 
the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears. 
 (b) Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts
and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrowers and the applicable Agent). 
 SECTION 2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the
Administrative Agent’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year
and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or
any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 SECTION
2.11. Evidence of Indebtedness. 
 (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records
maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrowers, in each case in the
ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the
interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any
conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest
error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Credit Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such
Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Revolving Credit Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

 (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain
in accordance with its usual practice 

  

 80 

 
accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of
participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 
 (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative
Agent in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the
failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 2.12. Payments Generally. 
 (a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office for
payment and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in
like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall
continue to accrue. 
 (b) If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made
on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (c)
Unless the Parent Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of any Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder, that the Borrowers will not
make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to such Lender or L/C Issuer. If and to the
extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then such Lender or L/C Issuer shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made
available to such Lender or L/C Issuer in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or L/C Issuer to the
date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. 
  

 81 

 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this
Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for
any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in
Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 
 (e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not
joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation. 
 (f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender
to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 (g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all
amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the
Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share
of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations
then owing to such Lender. 
 SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender
shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its
ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or
such subparticipations in the participations in 

  

 82 

 
L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in
respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances
described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase
price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another
Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in
each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands,
directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. 
 SECTION 2.14. Incremental Credit Extensions. 
 (a) The Borrowers may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request
one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”); provided that upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default
or Event of Default shall exist and each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $25,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining
availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed $100,000,000 (the “Incremental
Availability”). Each notice from the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Revolving Commitment Increases. Revolving Commitment Increases may be provided by any
existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender will have an obligation to provide a portion of any Revolving Commitment Increase), in each case on terms permitted in this Section 2.14 and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”), provided that the Administrative Agent shall have
consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s providing 

  

 83 

 
such Revolving Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 10.07(b) for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments,
as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Lender, an increase in such
Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Holdings, the Borrowers,
each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the
satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Credit Extension” or
similar language in such Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrowers shall use Revolving Commitment Increases for any
purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. Upon each increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, (x) each Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have
assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Commitment Increase (each a “Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and
without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of
participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Lender (including each such Revolving Commitment Increase
Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders represented by such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Credit Loans
outstanding, such Revolving Credit Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Credit
Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 3.05. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that
the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. 
 (b) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary. 
 SECTION 2.15. Reserves. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time in the exercise
of its Permitted 

  

 84 

 
Discretion establish and increase or decrease Reserves; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have provided the Parent Borrower at least three
(3) Business Days’ prior written notice of any such establishment or increase; and provided further that the Administrative Agent may only establish or increase a Reserve after the date hereof based on an event, condition or other
circumstance arising after the Closing Date or based on facts not known to the Administrative Agent as of the Closing Date. The amount of any Reserve established by the Administrative Agent shall have a reasonable relationship to the event,
condition, other circumstance or new fact that is the basis for the Reserve. Upon delivery of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall be available to discuss the proposed Reserve or increase, and the Borrowers may take such action as may be
required so that the event, condition, circumstance or new fact that is the basis for such Reserve or increase no longer exists, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its Permitted
Discretion. In no event shall such notice and opportunity limit the right of the Administrative Agent to establish or change such Reserve, unless the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its Permitted Discretion that the event, condition,
other circumstance or new fact that is the basis for such new Reserve or such change no longer exists or has otherwise been adequately addressed by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Reserves shall not duplicate
eligibility criteria contained in the definition of “Eligible Inventory” and vice versa, or reserves or criteria deducted in computing the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of Eligible Inventory and vice versa. 
 ARTICLE III 
 Taxes, Increased
Costs Protection and Illegality 
 SECTION 3.01. Taxes. 
 (a) Except as required by law, any and all payments by the Borrowers (the term Borrower under Article III being deemed to include any Subsidiary for
whose account a Letter of Credit is issued) or Holdings to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts,
deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Agent and each Lender, (i) taxes imposed on or
measured by its net income (including branch profits) imposed by reason of any connection between it and any jurisdiction other than by executing or entering into any Loan Document, receiving payments thereunder or having been a party to, performed
its obligations under, or enforced, any Loan Documents, (ii) franchise (and similar) taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, (iii) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed in respect of an Assignee (pursuant to an assignment
under Section 10.07) on the date it becomes an Assignee to the extent such tax is in excess of the tax that would have been applicable had such assigning Lender not assigned its interest arising under any Loan Document (unless such assignment
is at the express written request of the Parent Borrower) and (iv) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed as a result of the failure of any Agent or Lender to comply with either the provisions of Section 3.01(b) and (c) (in the
case of any Foreign Lender, as defined below) or the provisions of Section 3.01(d) (in 

  

 85 

 
the case of any U.S. Lender, as defined below) (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar
charges and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If a Borrower or Holdings is required to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes (as defined below) from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any
Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01(a)), each of such Agent and such
Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower or Holdings shall make such deductions, (iii) such Borrower or Holdings shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant taxing authority, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as practicable thereafter), such Borrower or Holdings shall
furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a facsimile copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt has been made available to such Borrower or Holdings. If a Borrower or Holdings fails to pay
any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to any Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence that has been made available to such Borrower or Holdings, such Borrower
or Holdings shall indemnify such Agent and such Lender for any incremental Taxes that may become payable by such Agent or such Lender arising out of such failure. 
 (b) To the extent it is legally able to do so, each Agent or Lender (including an Assignee to which a Lender assigns its interest in accordance with Section 10.07) that is not a “United States person”
within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each a “Foreign Lender”) agrees to complete and deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which the first payment is due hereunder,
an accurate, complete and original signed copy of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN certifying that it is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party
that reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest to zero; (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying that the income receivable pursuant to any Loan Document is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business in the United States; or (iii) if the Foreign Lender is not (A) a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a 10-percent shareholder described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a
controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code, a certificate to that effect in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J and an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,
certifying that the Foreign Lender is not a United States person. 
 (c) Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall, to
the extent it is legally entitled to do so, (i) promptly submit to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms or certificates (or such successor forms or
certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available to secure an exemption from or reduction in the rate of U.S. federal withholding tax (A) on or before the date that
any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (B) after the 

  

 86 

 
occurrence of a change in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by
it to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (C) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (ii) promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative
Agent of any change in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 
 (d) Each Agent or Lender that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code) (each a “U.S. Lender”) agrees to complete and deliver to the Parent Borrower and the
Administrative Agent an accurate, complete and original signed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor form certifying that such Agent or Lender is not subject to United States backup withholding tax (i) on or prior to the Closing Date
(or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the Agent’s or Lender’s circumstances requiring a
change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if a Foreign Lender is subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate in excess of zero
percent at the time such Lender or such Agent first becomes a party to this Agreement, such U.S. federal withholding tax (including additions to tax, penalties and interest imposed with respect to such U.S. federal withholding tax) shall be
considered excluded from Taxes except to the extent the Foreign Lender’s assignor was entitled to additional amounts or indemnity payments prior to the assignment. Further, the Borrowers shall not be required pursuant to this Section 3.01
to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender or such Agent becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender or Agent becomes a
party to this Agreement) solely as a result of a change in the place of organization or place of doing business of such Lender or Agent or a change in the Lending Office of such Lender (other than at the written request of the Parent Borrower to
change such Lending Office). 
 (f) The Borrowers agree to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other
excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect
to, any Loan Document (including additions to tax, penalties and interest related thereto) excluding, in each case, such amounts that result from an Assignment and Assumption, grant of a Participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a
new applicable Lending Office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required in writing by the Parent Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this
Section 3.01(f) being hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
  

 87 

 (g) If any Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted against any Agent or Lender with respect to any
payment received by such Agent or Lender in respect of any Loan Document, such Agent or Lender may pay such Taxes or Other Taxes and the Borrowers will promptly pay such additional amounts so that each of such Agent and such Lender receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes or Other Taxes been asserted whether or not such Taxes or other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Payments under this Section 3.01(g) shall be made within ten
(10) days after the date Parent Borrower receives written demand for payment from such Agent or Lender. 
 (h) A Participant shall not
be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is
made with the Parent Borrower’s prior written consent. 
 (i) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it is
entitled to receive a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall use its reasonable best efforts to receive such
refund and upon receipt of any such refund shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving
rise to such refund plus any interest included in such refund by the relevant taxing authority attributable thereto) to the Borrowers, net of all reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agree promptly to return such refund to such party
in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall provide the Parent Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to
repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential in its reasonable discretion). Nothing herein contained shall
interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or make available its tax returns or any other information it reasonably deems
confidential or require any Lender to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remission or repayments to which it may be entitled. 
 (j) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or (g) with respect to such
Lender it will, if requested by the Parent Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to mitigate the effect of any such event, including by designating another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter
of Credit affected by such event and by completing and delivering or filing any tax related forms which would reduce or eliminate any amount of Taxes or Other Taxes required to be deducted or withheld or paid by Borrowers; provided that such
efforts are made at the Borrowers’ expense and on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, 

  

 88 

 
cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in
this Section 3.01(j) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (f). 
 (k) The Borrowers and Administrative Agent may deduct and withhold any taxes required by any Laws to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted
that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the applicable Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender
to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue any affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to such Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans and shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all then outstanding affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such
Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under
Section 3.05. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

 SECTION 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that by reason of any changes affecting the
applicable interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or that the Eurocurrency Rate for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that deposits are not being offered to banks in the relevant interbank eurodollar
market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, in each case due to circumstances arising on or after the date hereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Parent Borrower and each Lender.
Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain any affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Parent Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the
amount specified therein. 
  

 89 

 SECTION 3.04. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate
Loans. 
 (a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of
any Law, in each case after the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the
amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 3.01, or which would have been so covered but for an exclusion included therein, (ii) the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any taxes payable by such Lender and (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by
Section 3.04(c)) does not represent the cost to such Lender of complying with the requirements of any applicable Law in relation to its making, funding or maintaining of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, then from time to time within fifteen
(15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such
additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. At any time when any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in this Section 3.04(a), the Borrowers may either (i) if the
affected Eurocurrency Rate Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Parent Borrower receives any
such demand from such Lender or (ii) if the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loan is then outstanding and is denominated in Dollars, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to
convert such Eurocurrency Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, if applicable. 
 (b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law
regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of
such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting
forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender such
additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction after receipt of such demand. 
 (c) The Borrowers shall pay to each
Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each 

  

 90 

 
Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory
authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal
to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which
interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Parent Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender
fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice. 
 (d) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the Parent Borrower, use commercially
reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending
Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.04(d) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of such Lender pursuant
to Section 3.04(a), (b), (c) or (d). 
 SECTION 3.05. Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense
reasonably incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate
Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or 
 (b) any failure by the Borrowers (for a
reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Parent Borrower; 
 including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain
such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. 
  

 91 

 SECTION 3.06. Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation. 
 (a) Any Agent or Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Parent Borrower setting forth the additional
amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 
 (b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrowers shall not be required to
compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Parent Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance
giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrowers under Section 3.04, the Borrowers
may, by notice by the Parent Borrower to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of
such Lender to receive the compensation so requested. 
 (c) If any Lender gives notice to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender
agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next
succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to
principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
 SECTION 3.07.
Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. 
 (a) If at any time (i) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing
pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, (ii) any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Parent Borrower may, on ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by
causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrowers, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) only) all of its
rights and obligations (other than Other Liabilities) under this Agreement (or, with respect to clause (iii) above, all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent,
waiver or amendment) to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent 

  

 92 

 
nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrowers to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided further that in the case of
any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents. No such replacement shall be deemed to be a
waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 
 (b) Any
Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line
Loans, and (ii) deliver any Revolving Credit Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or Administrative Agent (or a lost or destroyed note indemnity in lieu thereof). Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender
shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, (B) the assignee Lender shall purchase, at par, all Loans, accrued
interest, accrued fees and other amounts owing to the assigning Lender as of the date of replacement and (C) upon such payment (regardless of whether such replaced Lender has executed an Assignment and Assumption or delivered its Revolving
Credit Notes to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and
participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time when it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory
to such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in
amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to each such outstanding Letter of Credit and the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in
accordance with the terms of Section 9.09. 
 (d) In the event that (i) the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent has
requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders or the
Supermajority Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders with respect to a certain Class of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or
amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.” 
  

 93 

 SECTION 3.08. Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall
survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

 SECTION 4.02. Conditions to All Credit Extensions. The obligation of each Lender to honor any Request for Credit Extension
(other than any Protective Advance and any Committed Loan Notice requesting only a conversion of Loans to the other Type, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans) is subject to the following conditions precedent:

respects as of such earlier date; provided, further that, any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after giving

would be not less than 1.0 to 1.0 (the “Liquidity Event Condition”) and the Parent Borrower shall have provided the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower demonstrating compliance with
such ratio. 
 Each Request for Credit Extension (other than any Protective Advance and any Committed Loan Notice requesting only a

Borrower of such cash (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by Holdings of such Cure Right the Liquidity Event Condition shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

organizational action. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which such Person is a party nor the consummation of the Transaction will (a) contravene the terms of any of such Person’s
Organization Documents, (b) result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien upon any of the property or assets of such Person or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than as permitted by Section 7.01) under

Authority or any arbitral award to which such Person or its property is subject; or (c) violate any applicable material Law; except with respect to any breach, contravention or violation (but not creation of Liens) referred to in clauses
(b) and (c), to the extent that such breach, contravention or violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 98 

 SECTION 5.03. Governmental Authorization. No material approval, consent, exemption, authorization,

obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and effect and (iii) those approvals, consents, exemptions, authorizations or other actions, notices or filings, the failure of which to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.04. Binding Effect. This Agreement and each other Loan Document has been duly executed
and delivered by each Loan Party that is party thereto. This Agreement and each other Loan Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party that is party thereto in accordance with

 SECTION 5.05. Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Effect. 
 (a)(i) The Annual Financial
Statements and the Quarterly Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and their results of operations for the period covered thereby in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered thereby, (A) except as otherwise expressly noted therein and (B) subject, in the case of the Quarterly Financial Statements, to changes resulting from audit, normal
year end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes. 
 (ii) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Parent Borrower
and its Subsidiaries as at May 31, 2007 (including the notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”) and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the 12-month
period ending on such date (together with the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Administrative Agent, have been prepared based on the Annual
Financial Statements and the Quarterly Financial Statements and have been prepared in good faith, based on assumptions believed by the Parent Borrower to be reasonable as of the date of delivery thereof, and present fairly in all material respects
on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at May 31, 2007 and their estimated results of operations for the period covered thereby. 
 (b) Since the Closing Date, there has been no event or circumstance, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 99 

 (c) The forecasts of consolidated balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements of the
Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries for each fiscal year ending after the Closing Date until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, copies of which have been furnished to the Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date, and all Projections
delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 have been prepared in good faith on the basis of the assumptions stated therein, which assumptions were believed to be reasonable at the time made, it being understood that projections as to future events are
not to be viewed as facts and actual results may vary materially from such forecasts. 
 SECTION 5.06. Litigation. There are no
actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, overtly threatened in writing, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against the Parent Borrower or any of
the Restricted Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.07. Labor Matters.

(A) and (B), (i) to the extent such information relates to a parent of the Parent Borrower, such information is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to
the Parent Borrower (or such parent), on the one hand, and the information relating to the Parent Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand and (ii) to the extent such information is in lieu of
information required to be provided under Section 6.01(a), such materials are accompanied by a report and opinion of Ernst & Young LLP or any other independent registered public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing, which
report and opinion shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and shall not be subject to any “going concern” or like qualification or exception or any qualification or exception as to the scope of such
audit.

registration statement and, if applicable, any registration statement on Form S-8) and in any case not otherwise required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any other clause of this Section 6.02; 
 (c) promptly after the furnishing thereof, copies of any material statements or material reports furnished to any holder of any class or

 106 

 (e) promptly, such additional information regarding the business, legal, financial or

 Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b) or Section 6.02(c) may be delivered electronically and if so
delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which the Parent Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto on the Parent Borrower’s website on the Internet at the website address listed on Schedule
10.02; or (ii) on which such documents are posted on the Parent Borrower’s behalf on IntraLinks/IntraAgency or another relevant website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial,
third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided that: (i) upon written request by the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent for
further distribution to each Lender until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Parent Borrower shall notify (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) the Administrative Agent

 The Borrowers hereby
acknowledge that (a) the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and/or the Arrangers will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, “Borrower
Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to
receive material non-public information with respect to the Parent Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrowers hereby agree that they will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the
Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials 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; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders to treat such Borrower
Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Parent Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided,
however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials 

  

 107 

 
constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.08); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to
be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers 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 designated “Public Investor.” 
 SECTION 6.03. Notices. Promptly
after a Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge thereof, notify the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) of the occurrence of any
Default; and 
 (b) of (i) any dispute, litigation, investigation or proceeding between any Loan Party and any
Governmental Authority, (ii) the commencement of, or any material development in, any litigation or proceeding affecting any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, including pursuant to any applicable Environmental Laws or in respect of IP Rights, the
occurrence of any noncompliance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries with, or liability under, any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit, or (iii) the occurrence of any ERISA Event that, in any such case, has resulted or would
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Each notice pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by a written
statement of a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower (x) that such notice is being delivered pursuant to Section 6.03(a) or (b) (as applicable) and (y) setting forth details of the occurrence referred to therein and stating
what action the Borrowers have taken and propose to take with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 6.04. Payment of Obligations. Timely pay,
discharge or otherwise satisfy, as the same shall become due and payable, all of its obligations and liabilities in respect of taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in respect of its
property, except, in each case, to the extent (i) any such tax, assessment, charge or levy is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP or
(ii) the failure to pay or discharge the same would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 6.05.
Preservation of Existence, Etc. (a) Preserve, renew and maintain in full force and effect its legal existence under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and (b) take all reasonable action to maintain all corporate rights
and privileges (including its good standing) except, in the case of (a) or (b), to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or pursuant to a transaction permitted by Article VII.

 SECTION 6.06. Maintenance of Properties. Except if the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, maintain, preserve and protect all of its material properties and equipment necessary in the operation of its business in good working order, repair and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and casualty or condemnation excepted and
consistent with past practice. 
  

 108 

 SECTION 6.07. Maintenance of Insurance. Maintain with insurance companies that the Parent Borrower
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 business, 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 the
Parent Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries) as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary be
required to obtain or maintain insurance that is more restrictive than its normal course of practice. 
 SECTION 6.08. Compliance with
Laws. Comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or to its business or property, except if the failure to comply therewith would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 6.09. Books and Records. Maintain proper books of record and
account, in which entries that are full, true and correct in all material respects and are in conformity with GAAP consistently applied shall be made of all material financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the Parent
Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be.

its directors, officers, and independent public accountants, all at the reasonable expense of the Parent Borrower and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to
the Parent Borrower; provided that, excluding any such visits and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default, only the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise rights of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders under this Section 6.10 and the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights more often than two (2) times during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default and only one (1) such time shall be at the
Parent Borrower’s expense; provided further that when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense
of the Parent Borrower at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall give the Parent Borrower the opportunity to participate in any discussions 

  

 109 

 
with the Parent Borrower’s independent public accountants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.10, none of the Parent
Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making copies or abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter that (i) constitutes non-financial
trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which disclosure to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or their respective representatives or contractors) is prohibited by Law or any binding agreement or
(iii) is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product. 
 (b) Independently of or in connection
with the visits and inspections provided for in clause (a) above, but not more than twice a year (unless required by applicable law or an Event of Default or Liquidity Event has occurred and is continuing) upon the request of the Administrative
Agent after reasonable prior notice, the Parent Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary that is a Borrower to, permit the Administrative Agent or professionals reasonably acceptable to the Parent Borrower (including investment
bankers, consultants, accountants, lawyers and appraisers) retained by the Administrative Agent to conduct appraisals, commercial finance examinations and other evaluations, including, without limitation, (i) of the Parent Borrower’s
practices in the computation of the Borrowing Base, and (ii) inspecting, verifying and auditing the Collateral. The Parent Borrower shall pay the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent or such
professionals with respect to such evaluations and appraisals. 
 SECTION 6.11. Additional Borrowers and Covenant to Give Security. At
the Borrowers’ expense, subject to the provisions of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and any applicable limitation in any Collateral Document, take all action necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to ensure that
the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement continues to be satisfied, including: 
 (a) upon the formation or acquisition of any
new direct or indirect wholly owned Material Domestic Subsidiary (in each case, other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary or an Excluded Subsidiary) by any Loan Party (unless such Material Domestic Subsidiary does not provide a guarantee of the
obligations under the CF Facilities), the designation in accordance with Section 6.14 of any existing direct or indirect wholly owned Material Domestic Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or any Domestic Subsidiary becoming a wholly owned
Material Domestic Subsidiary: 
 (i) within forty five (45) days after such formation, acquisition or designation or such
longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion: 
 (A) cause each such Material Domestic
Subsidiary that is required to become a Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to clause (c) below to duly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent Security Agreement Supplements and other security agreements and documents, as reasonably requested
by and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the 

  

 110 

 
Administrative Agent (consistent with Security Agreement and other Collateral Documents in effect on the Closing Date), in each case granting Liens required
by the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement; 
 (B) take and cause such Material Domestic Subsidiary and each direct or
indirect parent of such Material Domestic Subsidiary that is required to become a Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to clause (c) below to take whatever action (including the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) may be necessary
in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent to vest in the Administrative Agent (or in any representative of the Administrative Agent designated by it) valid Liens required by the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, enforceable against
all third parties in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law), and 
 (ii) within forty-five (45) days after the request therefor by the Administrative Agent (or such longer period as the Administrative
Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), deliver to the Administrative Agent a signed copy of an opinion, addressed to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, of counsel for the Borrowers reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent as to such matters set forth in this Section 6.11(a) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. 
 (b) the Borrowers shall obtain the security interests set forth on Schedule 1.01A on or prior to the dates corresponding to such security interests set forth on Schedule 1.01A. 
 (c) Subject to any applicable limitations set forth in the Collateral Documents, the Parent Borrower will cause each direct or indirect
Material Domestic Subsidiary (excluding any Excluded Subsidiary) formed or otherwise purchased or acquired after the date hereof (including pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition) and each other Material Domestic Subsidiary that ceases to constitute an
Excluded Subsidiary, to execute a joinder to this Agreement in order to become a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder. 
 (d) In the
event any Subsidiary Borrower is released from its guarantee under the CF Facilities, it shall be released from its Obligations hereunder, in which case any pledge or security interest granted by it under the Collateral Documents shall also be
released. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business
Days’ notice of any entity becoming a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder. 
  

 111

designating a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a Securitization Subsidiary (as defined in the CF Agreement) in connection with the establishment of a Qualified Securitization Financing (as defined in the CF Agreement),
immediately after giving effect to such designation, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for the Test Period immediately preceding such designation is less than or equal to 4.5 to 1.0 (calculated on a Pro Forma Basis) (and, as a condition precedent to

 SECTION 6.15. Cash Management Systems. 
 (a) Annexed hereto as Schedule 6.15(a) is a schedule of all DDAs, that are maintained by the Borrowers, which Schedule includes,
with respect to each depository (i) the name and address of such depository; (ii) the account number(s) maintained with such depository; and (iii) a contact person at such depository. 
 (b) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole
reasonable discretion), each Borrower shall enter into a blocked account agreement (each, a “Blocked Account Agreement”), reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with respect to the DDAs existing as of the Closing Date
listed on Schedule 6.15(c) attached hereto (collectively, the “Blocked Accounts”). Each Borrower hereby agrees that, once the Blocked Account Agreements are entered into, all cash received by such Borrower in any DDA that is
not a Blocked Account (other than (i) petty cash accounts funded in the ordinary course of business, the deposits in which shall not aggregate more than $250,000 or exceed $50,000 with respect to any one account (or in each case, such greater
amounts to which the Administrative Agent may agree), and (ii) payroll, trust and tax withholding accounts funded in the ordinary course of business and required by Applicable Law) will be promptly transferred into a Blocked Account. After
entering into the Blocked Account Agreement, there shall be at all times thereafter at least one Blocked Account. 
 (c) Each
Blocked Account Agreement entered into by a Borrower shall permit the Administrative Agent to instruct the depository, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event (and delivery of notice thereof from the Administrative
Agent), to transfer on each Business Day of all available cash receipts to the concentration account maintained by the Administrative Agent at Bank of America (the “Concentration Account”), from: 
 (i) the sale of Inventory and other Collateral; 
 (ii) all proceeds of collections of Accounts; and 
 (iii) each Blocked Account (including all cash deposited therein from each DDA). 
 If, at any time during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, any cash or Cash Equivalents owned by any Borrower (other than (i) petty cash accounts funded in
the ordinary course of business, the deposits in which shall not aggregate more than $250,000 or exceed $50,000 with respect to any one account (or in each case, such greater amounts to which the Administrative Agent may agree), and
(ii) payroll, trust and tax withholding accounts funded in the ordinary course of business and required by Applicable Law) are deposited to any account, or held or invested in any manner, otherwise than in a Blocked Account that is subject to a
Blocked Account Agreement (or a DDA which is swept daily to a Blocked Account), the Administrative Agent may require the applicable Borrower to close such account and have all funds therein 

  

 113 

 
transferred to a Blocked Account, and all future deposits made to a Blocked Account which is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement. In addition to the
foregoing, during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall provide the Administrative Agent with an accounting of the contents of the Blocked Accounts, which shall identify, to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, the proceeds from the Collateral which were deposited into a Blocked Account and swept to the Concentration Account. 
 (d) The Borrowers may close DDAs or Blocked Accounts and/or open new DDAs or Blocked Accounts, subject to the execution and delivery to
the Administrative Agent of appropriate Blocked Account Agreements (except with respect to any payroll, trust, and tax withholding accounts or unless expressly waived by the Administrative Agent) consistent with and to the extent required by the
provisions of this Section 6.15 and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall furnish the Administrative Agent with prior written notice of its intention to open or close a Blocked Account and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower as to whether the Administrative Agent shall require a Blocked Account Agreement with the Person with whom such account will be maintained. 
 (e) The Borrowers may also maintain one or more disbursement accounts to be used by the Borrowers for disbursements and payments
(including payroll) in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted hereunder. 
 (f) The Concentration Account
shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Borrower has no right of withdrawal from the Concentration Account, (ii) the funds on deposit
in the Concentration Account shall at all times continue to be collateral security for all of the Obligations, and (iii) the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account shall be applied as provided in this Agreement. In the event that,
notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.15, during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Event, any Borrower receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any such proceeds or collections, such proceeds and collections shall be held
in trust by such Borrower for the Administrative Agent, shall not be commingled with any of such Borrower’s other funds or deposited in any account of such Borrower and shall promptly be deposited into the Concentration Account or dealt with in
such other fashion as such Borrower may be instructed by the Administrative Agent. 
 (g) So long as no Cash Dominion Event
has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may direct, and shall have sole control over, the manner of disposition of funds in the Blocked Accounts. 
 (h) Any amounts received in the Concentration Account at any time when all of the Obligations then due have been and remain fully repaid shall be remitted to the operating account of the Borrowers maintained with the
Administrative Agent. 
  

 114 

 (i) The Administrative Agent shall promptly (but in any event within one Business Day)
furnish written notice to each Person with whom a Blocked Account is maintained of any termination of a Cash Dominion Event. 
 (j) The following shall apply to deposits and payments under and pursuant to this Agreement: 
 (i) Funds shall be
deemed to have been deposited to the Concentration Account on the Business Day on which deposited, provided that such deposit is available to the Administrative Agent by 4:00 p.m. on that Business Day (except that if the Obligations are being paid
in full, by 2:00 p.m. New York City time, on that Business Day); 
 (ii) Funds paid to the Administrative Agent, other than by
deposit to the Concentration Account, shall be deemed to have been received on the Business Day when they are good and collected funds, provided that such payment is available to the Administrative Agent by 4:00 p.m. on that Business Day (except
that if the Obligations are being paid in full, by 2:00 p.m. New York City time, on that Business Day); 
 (iii) If a deposit
to the Concentration Account or payment is not available to the Administrative Agent until after 4:00 p.m. on a Business Day, such deposit or payment shall be deemed to have been made at 9:00 a.m. on the then next Business Day; 
 (iv) If any item deposited to the Concentration Account and credited to the Loan Account is dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason,
whether or not such return is rightful or timely, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to reverse such credit and charge the amount of such item to the applicable Loan Account and the Borrowers shall indemnify the Secured Parties against
all reasonable out-of-pocket claims and losses resulting from such dishonor or return; 
 (v) All amounts received under this
Section 6.15 shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 8.03.

refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness
being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.03,

Subordinated Interim Loan Facility, the Senior Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Exchange Notes will be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance only on the exception of clause (u) of Section 7.03.

relating to any such Indebtedness, or any other event occurs (other than, with respect to Indebtedness consisting of Swap Contracts, termination events or equivalent events pursuant to the terms of such Swap Contracts), the effect of which default

thereof) and such judgment or order shall not have been satisfied, vacated, discharged or stayed or bonded pending an appeal for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days; or 
 (h) ERISA. (i) An ERISA Event occurs with respect to a Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan which has resulted or would

to be created by any Collateral Document shall be asserted in writing by any Loan Party not to be, a valid and perfected lien, with the priority required by the Collateral Documents (or other security purported to be created on the applicable
Collateral) on and security interest in any material portion of the Collateral purported to be covered thereby, subject to Liens permitted under Section 7.01, except to the extent that any such loss of perfection or priority results from the
failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Collateral Documents or to file Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements and except as to Collateral
consisting of real property to the extent that such losses are covered by a lender’s title insurance policy and such insurer has not denied or failed to acknowledge coverage, or (ii) any of the Equity Interests of the Parent Borrower

Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such Commitments and obligation shall be terminated; 
 (b) declare the unpaid
principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers; 
 (c) require that the Borrowers Cash
Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and 
 (d) exercise on behalf
of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable Law; 
 provided that upon
the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Parent Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the Commitments of each Lender and any obligation of the L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions
shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Parent Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

amounts described in this clause Third payable to them; 
  

 143 

 Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on
the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them; 
 Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuers, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit; 
 Sixth, to the payment of unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings and all other Obligations (other than Cash Management Obligations,
Secured Hedge Agreements and Other Liabilities) of the Loan Parties that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to
the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and

aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either
been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and, if no Obligations remain outstanding, to the Borrowers. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 Administrative Agent and Other Agents 
 SECTION 9.01. Appointment and Authorization of the Administrative Agent. 
 (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of
this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together 

  

 144 

 
with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX (other than Sections 9.09 and 9.11) are solely for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrowers shall not have rights as third party beneficiary of any such provision. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document,
the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, 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 Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence,
the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead,
such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 
 (b) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities
(i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and
agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article IX and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect
to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent
shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if applicable), L/C Issuer (if applicable) and a potential Hedge Bank and/or Cash Management
Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) such Lender for purposes of acquiring,
holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent,
as “collateral agent” (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted
under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX (including Section 9.07, as though such
co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize
the Administrative Agent to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto (including the Intercreditor Agreement), as contemplated by and in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by any Agent shall bind the Lenders. 
  

 145 

 SECTION 9.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through
agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct
of any agent or sub-agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). 
 SECTION 9.03. Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in
connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or Holdings or any officer thereof, contained
herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the execution,
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents, or
for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof. 
 SECTION 9.04. Reliance by the Administrative Agent. 
 (a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any
Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to 

  

 146 

 
take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding upon all the Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary
to any Loan Document or applicable Law. 
 (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01,
each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a
Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto. 
 SECTION 9.05. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest
and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating
that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the
Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 
 SECTION 9.06.
Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance
of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons
have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory
Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, 

  

 147 

 
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and Holdings. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to
the Lenders by any Agent herein, such 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 of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person. 
 SECTION 9.07. Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent and each other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent
any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent) (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless
the Administrative Agent and each other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it;
provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by
the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents)
shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies
whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or
out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings
or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such
expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrowers’ continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive
termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION
9.08. Agents in Their Individual Capacities. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though such Agent were not an Agent or an L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or 

  

 148 

 
consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan
Party or any of their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to
them. With respect to its Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent or an L/C Issuer, and the terms “Lender” and
“Lenders” include each Agent in its individual capacity. 
 SECTION 9.09. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor
agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrowers at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) (which consent of the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrowers, a successor agent from among the
Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative
Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated.
After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of
resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders
appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such
amendments or supplements to such instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral
Documents or (b) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.09). After the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was acting as the Administrative Agent. 
  

 149 

 Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute
its resignation as an L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and
(iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by Bank of America, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C
Issuer effectively to assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
 SECTION 9.10.
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any
demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and
prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations 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 the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all
other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that
the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04. 
 Nothing contained herein shall
be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to
authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 
  

 150 

 SECTION 9.11. Collateral and Subsidiary Borrower Matters. The Lenders irrevocably agree:

 (a) that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document shall be
automatically released (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not
yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and any other obligation (including a guarantee that is contingent in nature), (ii) at
the time the property subject to such Lien is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any of its
Domestic Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries, (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (iv) if the property subject to such Lien
is owned by a Subsidiary Borrower, upon release of such Subsidiary Borrower from its Obligations hereunder pursuant to clause (c) below; 
 (b) to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i);

 (c) that any Subsidiary Borrower shall be automatically released from its Obligations hereunder or that Holdings shall be
automatically released from its obligations under the Guaranty if (i) in the case of any Subsidiary Borrower, such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder or (ii) in the
case of Holdings, as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; provided that no such release shall occur if such Subsidiary Borrower continues to be a guarantor in respect of the Senior Interim Loan Facility, the Senior Subordinated
Interim Loan Facility, the Senior Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Exchange Notes or any other Junior Financing; and 
 (d) if any Subsidiary Borrower shall cease to be a Material Subsidiary (as certified in writing by a Responsible Officer), (i) such Subsidiary shall be automatically released from its Obligations hereunder and (ii) any Liens
granted by such Subsidiary or Liens on the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary shall be automatically released; provided that no such release shall occur if such Subsidiary continues to be a guarantor in respect of the Senior Interim Loan
Facility, the Senior Subordinated Interim Loan Facility, the Senior Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Exchange Notes or any other Junior Financing. 
 Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of
property, or to release any Subsidiary Borrower from its Obligations hereunder or Holdings from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11. In 

  

 151 

 
each case as specified in this Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent will promptly (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent
to), at the Parent Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and
security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release of such Loan Party from its obligations under any of the Loan Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11.

 SECTION 9.12. Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. Except as expressly provided herein, none of the Lenders or other Persons
identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “joint bookrunner,” or “joint lead arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation,
liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons identified in the first sentence of this Section 9.12 shall have or
be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons identified in the first sentence of this Section 9.12 in deciding to enter
into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
 SECTION 9.13. Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.

 (a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction
denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in
particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or
in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a
“Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”). 
 (b) In
the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such
Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents 

  

 152 

 
and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative
Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all
references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require. 
 (c) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent
for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the applicable Borrower or Holdings, as the case may be, shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any
and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 9.14. Intercreditor Agreement. The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement, and the parties hereto
acknowledge that the Intercreditor Agreement is binding upon them. 
 SECTION 9.15. Reports and Financial Statements. By signing this
Agreement, each Lender: 
 (a) agrees to furnish the Administrative Agent on the first day of each month with a summary of all Other
Liabilities due or to be due to such Lender; 
 (b) is deemed to have requested that the Administrative Agent furnish such Lender, promptly
after they become available, copies of all financial statements required to be delivered by the Parent Borrower hereunder and all field examinations, audits and appraisals of the Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (collectively, the
“Reports”); 
 (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or
warranty as to the accuracy of the Reports, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; 
 (d) expressly
agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Administrative Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will
rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel; 
  

 153 

 (e) agrees to keep all Reports confidential in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.08
(other than clause (e) thereof); and 
 (f) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this
Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection
with any Loans or Letters of Credit that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a Loan or Loans of the Borrowers; and
(ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including
reasonable attorney costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender;
provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender preparing a Report for any portion of losses arising from such claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other amounts
(including attorney costs) to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such other Lender’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Borrower or Holdings, as the case may be, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that, no such amendment, waiver or consent shall: 
 (a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being
understood that none of (i) a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02, (ii) the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments and (iii) the making of any Protective
Advance in accordance herewith shall constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

Borrowing, or (subject to clause (iii) of the second proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being
understood that any change to the definitions of Total Leverage Ratio or Senior Secured Leverage Ratio or, in each case, in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest; provided that, only the
consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at the Default Rate; 
 (d) change any provision of this Section 10.01, the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Supermajority Lenders” or
“Pro Rata Share” or any provision of Section 2.06(c), 2.13 or 8.03 without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 
 (e) other than in a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05, release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written
consent of each Lender;

or substantially all of the aggregate value of the Obligations of the Subsidiary Borrowers and the Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (g) change the currency in which any Loan is denominated of any Loan without the written consent of the Lender holding such Loans; or 
 (h) change the definition of the term “Borrowing Base” or any component definition thereof if as a result thereof the amounts
available to be borrowed by the Borrowers would be increased, without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, provided that the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the Administrative Agent to change, establish or eliminate
any Reserves without the consent of any Lenders; 
 and provided further that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and
signed by each L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of a L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Issuer Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment,
waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall,
unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
and (iv) Section 10.07(h) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the
consent of such 

  

 155 

 
Lender (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder
requiring any consent of the Lenders). 
 No amendment or waiver of any provision of the Intercreditor Agreement shall be effective unless
consented to in writing by the Required Lenders, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower (a) to 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 accrued interest and fees in respect
thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Credit Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit
facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.01,
guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and
waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Parent Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of
local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 10.02. Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies. 
 (a) General. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission).
All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or electronic mail address, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the
applicable telephone number, as follows: 
 (i) if to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line
Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 10.02 or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated
by such party in a notice to the other parties; and 
 (ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number,
electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such 

  

 156 

 
other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender. 
 All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the
earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, four (4) Business
Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail (which form of delivery is subject to the provisions of
Section 10.02(c)), when delivered; provided that notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Article II shall not be effective until actually received by such
Person. In no event shall a voice mail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder. 
 (b) Effectiveness of
Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or other electronic communication. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and
effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders. 
 (c) Reliance by Agents and
Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if
(i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any
confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower
in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. All telephonic notices to the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the
Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
 (d) The Platform and any electronic communications
are provided “as is” and “as available”. None of the Agent-Related Persons warrant the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Platform or any electronic communications and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or
omissions in the Platform and any electronic communication. 
 SECTION 10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender
or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other
Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. 
  

 157 

 SECTION 10.04. Attorney Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers agree (a) if the Closing Date
occurs, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent and the Arrangers for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation,
syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the
consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP and one local and foreign counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, and (b) to
pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
(including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and one local counsel in
each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of any actual conflict or interest, one additional counsel of the affected parties)). The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment
of all other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid promptly following receipt by the Parent Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. If any Loan Party fails to pay
when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. 
 SECTION 10.05. Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the
Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, members, employees, agents, trustees or advisors (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to
or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter
of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), or (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or
formerly owned or operated by any Borrower, any Subsidiary or Holdings, or any Environmental Liability arising out of the activities or operations of any Borrower, any Subsidiary or Holdings, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, 

  

 158 

 
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim,
investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be
obligated for any costs or expenses based on the fees charged by third parties retained by the Administrative Agent in connection with more than two appraisals and field examinations per calendar year; provided further, however, that such
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from (x) the gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee or agent of such Indemnitee or (y) a
breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee or agent of such Indemnitee, as determined by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the
extent that the undertakings to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.05 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any applicable law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the
maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the
use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special,
punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). In the case of an investigation,
litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or
creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. All amounts due
under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within 20 Business Days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of
the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
 SECTION 10.06. Payments Set
Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if
such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any

 SECTION 10.07. Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, except that neither Holdings nor any Borrower may, except as permitted by Section 7.04, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and
each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e),
(iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Sections 10.07(g) and 10.07(i) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h) (and any other attempted assignment
or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees
(“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations
and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood that the Parent Borrower shall have the right to withhold its consent if the Parent
Borrower would be required to obtain the consent of, or make a filing or registration with, a Governmental Agency) of: 
 (A)
the Parent Borrower, provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to
the Parent Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, any Assignee; 
 (B) the Administrative Agent;

 (C) each Principal L/C Issuer at the time of such assignment, provided that no consent of any Principal L/C Issuer
shall be required for an assignment to an Agent or any Affiliate thereof; and 
 (D) the Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
  

 160 

 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment
and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, provided that (1) no such
consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Parent Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in
respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 
 (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee
in the case of any Assignment; 
 (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire; and 
 (D) the Assignee shall comply with Section 3.01(b) and (c) or
Section 3.01(d), as applicable. 
 (c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04,
3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Revolving Credit Note, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall
execute and deliver a Revolving Credit Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement
as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(e). 
 (d) The
Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the 

  

 161 

 
Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and amounts due under Section 2.03, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrowers agree that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 (subject to the requirements of Section 3.01(b) and (c) or Section 3.01(d), as applicable), 3.04 and 3.05 (through the applicable Lender) to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender;
provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. 
 (f) A Participant shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. 
 (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its
Revolving Credit Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
  

 162 

 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any
part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to
exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the
exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement (including their obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall
be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of
any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of
its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any
surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
(1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Revolving Credit Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security
interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Revolving Credit Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities;
provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan
Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or
otherwise. 
 (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender may, upon thirty
(30) days’ notice to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, respectively; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the
relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender shall have identified, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable.
In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Parent Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the 

  

 163 

 
Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by the Parent Borrower to
appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If an L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder
with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in
Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If the Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding
as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). 
 SECTION 10.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information in accordance with
such Agent’s or Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, and to not use or disclose such information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its
Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement to be bound by provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be
reasonably acceptable to the Parent Borrower), to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), counterparty to a swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or its Obligations, Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written consent of the Parent Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section 10.08; (h) to any Governmental Authority, examiner or self-regulatory authority (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender;
(i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such
Lender); or (j) in connection with the administration of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents of the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the
lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this
Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or its Affiliates or its 

  

 164 

 
Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors or agents, relating to Holdings, the Parent Borrower or any of their
subsidiaries or its business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that, in the
case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential or (ii) is delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 hereof. 
 SECTION 10.09. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrowers or Holdings, any such notice being waived by the Parent Borrower (on
its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and
other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all
Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, no Lender or its Affiliates and no L/C Issuer or its Affiliates shall have a right to set off and apply any deposits held or other Indebtedness owing by such Lender or its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer or its Affiliates, as the
case may be, to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary of a Loan Party which is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code unless such Subsidiary is not a direct or indirect
subsidiary of Holdings. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such L/C Issuer may have. 
 SECTION 10.10. Interest Rate
Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the
“Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to
the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not
principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary 

  

 165 

 
prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout
the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
 SECTION 10.11. Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each
other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier be confirmed by a
manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier. 
 SECTION 10.12. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties
on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this
Agreement shall control. With the exception of those terms contained in that certain amended and restated commitment letter among Holdings, the Agents and the other parties thereto which by the terms thereof remain in full force and effect, all of
the Arrangers’ and their respective Affiliates’ obligations thereunder in respect of the Facilities shall terminate and be superseded by this Agreement and the Loan Documents and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates shall be
released from all liability in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any claim for injury or damages, whether consequential, special, direct, indirect, punitive or otherwise. 
 SECTION 10.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or
other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder
shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. 
 SECTION 10.14. Severability. If any provision
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired
thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 10.15. GOVERNING LAW. 
 (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN). 
  

 166 

 (b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR
RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWERS, HOLDINGS, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS
PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE BORROWERS, HOLDINGS, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON
THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. 
 SECTION 10.16. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES
ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT,
OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL
BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 10.16 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY. 
 SECTION 10.17. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Borrowers, Holdings and the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer that each such Lender, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer has executed it and thereafter shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Borrower, Holdings, each Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns. 
  

 167 

 SECTION 10.18. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative 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 it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following
receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of Dollars so
purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers in Dollars, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom
such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the
Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law). 
 SECTION 10.19. Lender Action. Each Lender
agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party under any of the Loan Documents or the Secured Hedge Agreements (including the exercise of any right of
setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any
such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be withheld in contravention of Section 9.04(a)). The provision of this Section 10.19 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not
afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party. 
 SECTION 10.20. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby
notifies the Borrowers and Holdings that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and Holdings, which information includes the name and address of the
Borrowers and Holdings and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers and Holdings in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. 
 SECTION 10.21. Agent for Service of Process. The Borrowers agree that promptly following request by the Administrative Agent it shall cause each Material Foreign Subsidiary or for whose account a Letter of
Credit is issued to appoint and maintain an agent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to receive service of process in New York City on behalf of such Material Foreign Subsidiary. 
  

 168 

 SECTION 10.22. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each
transaction contemplated hereby, each of Holdings and the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (a) the Revolving Credit Facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other
services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrowers and their Affiliates, on the one
hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Borrowers are capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan
Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (b) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Agents and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the
financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for any Borrower or any of its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (c) none of the Agents or the Lenders has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary
responsibility in favor of any Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document
(irrespective of whether any Agent or Lender has advised or is currently advising any Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Agents or the Lenders has any obligation to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (d) the Agents and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that
involve interests that differ, and may conflict with, from those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and none of the Agents or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary
relationship; and (e) the Agents and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and Holdings and the Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate. Each of Holdings and the Borrowers hereby waives
and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Agents and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty. 
 SECTION 10.23. Joint and Several Liability. All Loans, upon funding, shall be deemed to be jointly funded to and received by the Borrowers. Each
Borrower is jointly and severally liable under this Agreement for all Obligations, regardless of the manner or amount in which proceeds of Loans are used, allocated, shared or disbursed by or among the Borrowers themselves, or the manner in which an
Agent and/or any Lender accounts for such Loans or other Credit Extensions on its books and records. Each Borrower shall be liable for all amounts due to an Agent and/or any Lender from the Borrowers under this Agreement, regardless of which
Borrower actually receives Loans or other Credit Extensions hereunder or the amount of such Loans and Credit Extensions received or the manner in which such Agent and/or such Lender accounts for such Loans or other Credit Extensions on its books and
records. Each Borrower’s Obligations with respect to Loans and other Credit Extensions made to it, and such 

  

 169 

 
Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder with respect to Loans made to the other
Borrowers hereunder shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations shall be primary obligations of such Borrower. The Borrowers acknowledge and expressly agree with the Agents and each Lender that the joint and several
liability of each Borrower is required solely as a condition to, and is given solely as inducement for and in consideration of, credit or accommodations extended or to be extended under the Loan Documents to any or all of the other Borrowers and is
not required or given as a condition of Credit Extensions to such Borrower. Each Borrower’s Obligations under this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the release of any other
Borrower pursuant to Section 9.11 or the validity or enforceability, avoidance, or subordination of the Obligations of any other Borrower or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of any other
Borrower, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance, or
granting of any indulgence by an Agent and/or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of any other Borrower, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower
and delivered to an Agent and/or any Lender, (iv) the failure by an Agent and/or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations of any
other Borrower, (v) an Agent’s and/or any Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security
interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of an Agent’s and/or any Lender’s claim(s) for the repayment of the Obligations of any
other Borrower under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (viii) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any other Borrower. With respect to any Borrower’s
Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to Loans or other Credit Extensions made to any of the other Borrowers hereunder, such Borrower waives, until the Obligations shall have been
paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which an Agent and/or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all
or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to an Agent and/or any Lender to secure payment of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to an Agent and/or any
Lender. Upon any Event of Default, the Agents may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or
any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Agents shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the
Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, none of the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.23 shall apply to any Person released from its Obligations as a Subsidiary Borrower in accordance with
Section 9.11. 
  

 170 

 SECTION 10.24. Contribution and Indemnification Among the Borrowers. Each Borrower is obligated to
repay the Obligations as a joint and several obligor under this Agreement. To the extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans made to another Borrower hereunder
or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be
reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) and the
denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments
which could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (a) rendering such Borrower “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act
(“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code,
Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of
the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification, and reimbursement under this Section shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. The provisions of this Section shall, to the extent
expressly inconsistent with any provision in any Loan Document, supersede such inconsistent provision. 
 SECTION 10.25. Agency of the
Parent Borrower for Each Other Borrower. Each of the other Borrowers irrevocably appoints the Parent Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement, including the giving and receipt of notices and execution and delivery of all
documents, instruments, and certificates contemplated herein (including, without limitation, execution and delivery to the Agents of Borrowing Base Certificates and Committed Loan Notices) and all modifications hereto. Any acknowledgment, consent,
direction, certification, or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all or any of the Borrowers or acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Parent Borrower, whether or not
any of the other Borrowers join therein, and the Agents and the Lenders shall have no duty or obligation to make further inquiry with respect to the authority of the Parent Borrower under this Section 10.25; provided that nothing in this
Section 10.25 shall limit the effectiveness of, or the right of the Agents and the Lenders to rely upon, any notice (including without limitation a Committed Loan Notice), document, instrument, certificate, acknowledgment, consent, direction,
certification or other action delivered by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement. 
 SECTION 10.26. Reinstatement. This Agreement
shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured
Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or 

  

 171 

 
reorganization of the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or
trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 
 SECTION 10.27. Express Waivers by Borrowers in Respect of Cross Guaranties and Cross Collateralization. Each Borrower agrees as follows: 
 (a) Each Borrower hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of this Agreement; (ii) notice of the making of any Loans, the issuance of any Letter of Credit or any other financial accommodations made or
extended under the Loan Documents or the creation or existence of any Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the Obligations, subject, however, to such Borrower’s right to make inquiry of the Administrative Agent to ascertain the
amount of the Obligations at any reasonable time; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such Borrower’s risk with respect to such other Borrower under
the Loan Documents; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any promissory notes or other instruments among the Loan Documents; and (vii) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically
required to be given to such Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party) and demands to which such Borrower might otherwise be entitled; 
 (b) Each Borrower hereby waives the right by statute or otherwise to require an Agent or any Lender to institute suit against any other Borrower or to
exhaust any rights and remedies which an Agent or any Lender has or may have against any other Borrower. Each Borrower further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Borrower (other than the defense of
payment in full) or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any such Borrower in respect thereof. 
 (c)
Each Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert against any Agent, any Lender, or any L/C Issuer: (i) any defense (legal or equitable) other than a defense of payment, set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Borrower may now or at any
time hereafter have against any other Borrower or any other party liable under the Loan Documents; (ii) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim of any kind or nature available to any other Borrower (other than a defense of payment) against
any Agent, any Lender, or any L/C Issuer, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security therefor; (iii) any right or defense arising by
reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Agent, any Lender, or any L/C Issuer under any applicable law; (iv) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any other Borrower’s liability hereunder;

 (d) Each Borrower consents and agrees that, without notice to or by such Borrower and without affecting or impairing the obligations of
such Borrower hereunder, the Agents may (subject to any requirement for consent of any of the Lenders to the extent required by this Agreement), by action or inaction: (i) compromise, settle, extend the duration or the time for the payment of,
or discharge the performance of, or may refuse to or otherwise not enforce 

  

 172 

 
the Issuer Documents; (ii) release all or any one or more parties to any one or more of the Issuer Documents or grant other indulgences to any other
Borrower in respect thereof; (iii) amend or modify in any manner and at any time (or from time to time) any of the Issuer Documents; or (iv) release or substitute any Person liable for payment of the Obligations, or enforce, exchange,
release, or waive any security for the Obligations; 
 (e) Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders that such
Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of all other Borrowers and all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and
warrants that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that neither the Agents, any Lender, nor any L/C Issuer has any responsibility to inform any Borrower of the financial
condition of any other Borrower or of any other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

 GUARANTY 
 SECTION 2.01. Guaranty. The Guarantor irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment of the Obligations,
whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise in accordance herewith or with any other Loan Documents. The Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended, increased or renewed, in
whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guaranty notwithstanding any extension, increase or renewal, in whole or in part, of any Obligation. The Guarantor waives diligence, presentment
to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guaranty and notice of protest for nonpayment. 
 SECTION 2.02. Guaranty of Payment. The Guarantor further agrees that its guaranty hereunder constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of
collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of the Obligations, or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrowers or any other Person. 
 SECTION 2.03. No Limitations; Guaranty
Absolute. (a) Except for termination of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 4.10, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be
subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise
affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver,
amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement; (iii) the release of any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the Obligations;
(iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; or (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a
discharge of the 

  

 2 

 
Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations). The Guarantor expressly authorizes the
Secured Parties to take and hold security for the Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their
sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more of the obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all in accordance with the Security Agreement and other Loan Documents and all without affecting the obligations of the Guarantor
hereunder. 
 (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder and all obligations of
the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of, (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any
agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any
other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release
or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guaranty securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the
Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement or (e) any defense of any Borrower or any other Borrower. 
 (c) The
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may, in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an
assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Borrower or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Borrower, without affecting
or impairing in any way the liability of the Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor waives any defense arising
out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantor against any Borrower, as the case may be, or any
security. 
 SECTION 2.04. Reinstatement. The Guarantor agrees that its guaranty hereunder shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation, is rescinded, invalidated or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of
any Borrower or otherwise. 
 SECTION 2.05. Agreement To Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of
any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at
maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid
Obligation. Upon payment 

  

 3 

 
by the Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of the Guarantor against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by
way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article III herein. 
 SECTION 2.06. Information. The Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of
the Obligations, and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that the Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise the Guarantor of information
known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks. 
 ARTICLE III 
 INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION 
 SECTION 3.01. Indemnity and
Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantor may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 3.02), each of the Borrowers agrees that in the event a payment of any Obligation shall be made
by the Guarantor under this Agreement, such Borrower shall indemnify the Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such
payment. 
 SECTION 3.02. Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the
Guarantor under Section 3.01 and all other rights of indemnity or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations; provided that if any amount shall
be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the
Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in connection with Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement. No failure on the part of any Borrower to make the payments required by
Section 3.01 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and the Guarantor shall remain liable for the
full amount of its obligations hereunder. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION 4.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as
otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Parent Borrower as provided in
Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

 SECTION 4.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any
L/C Issuer or any other Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the other Secured Parties
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom shall in
any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 4.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of
such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by the Administrative Agent and the Guaranty Party or Guaranty Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.

 SECTION 4.03. Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses, Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto agree that the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each of the Borrowers agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 10.05
of the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by
or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing agreements or
instruments contemplated hereby, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any Affiliate, director, officer, employee or agent of such
Indemnitee. 
 (c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations guaranteed hereby and secured by the other
Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 4.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the 

  

 5 

 
termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations,
the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 4.03
shall be payable within 20 Business Days of written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 4.04. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All
representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof, and shall
continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. 
 SECTION 4.05. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Successors and Assigns; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this
Agreement. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier or electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver
the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier or electronic transmission. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their
respective successors and assigns permitted thereby, except that the Guarantor shall not have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as
expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 4.06. Severability. If any provision of this
Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 4.07. Right of Set-Off. In addition
to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time,
without prior notice to the Guarantor, any such notice being waived by it to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by,
and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all
Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such L/C Issuer or such Lender or Affiliate shall have
made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations 

  

 6 

 
may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, no Lender or its Affiliates and no L/C Issuer or its Affiliates shall have a right to set off and apply any deposits held or other Indebtedness owing by such Lender or its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer or its Affiliates,
as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary of a Loan Party that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code unless such Subsidiary is not a direct or indirect
subsidiary of Holdings. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Guarantor, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided,
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 4.07 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such L/C Issuer may have. 
 SECTION 4.08. Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The terms of Sections 10.15 and 10.16 of the Credit Agreement with respect to governing law, submission of jurisdiction, venue and waive of trial are
incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms. 
 (b) Each party to this Agreement
irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 4.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION 4.09. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of
this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.10.
Termination or Release. (a) This Agreement and the Guaranty made herein shall terminate with respect to all Obligations when all the outstanding Obligations (other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and
payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the
Credit Agreement, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations has been reduced to zero and the L/C Issuers have no further obligations to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement. 
 (b) The Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder as provided in Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 4.10, the Administrative Agent shall
execute and deliver to the Guarantor, at the Guarantor’s expense, all documents that the Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release, in each case in accordance with the terms of Section 9.11 of the Credit
Agreement. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. 
  

 7 

 (d) At any time that a Borrower desires that the Administrative Agent take any of the actions described
in immediately preceding paragraph (c), it shall, upon request of the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate certifying that the release of the Guarantor is permitted pursuant to paragraph (a) or
(b). The Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Party as a result of any release of the Guarantor by it as permitted (or which the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be permitted) by this
Section 4.10. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each Cash Management Bank and each Hedge
Bank, by the acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the obligations of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary under any Secured Hedge Agreement and the Cash Management Obligations shall be guaranteed
pursuant to this Agreement only to the extent that, and for so long, the other Obligations are so guaranteed and (ii) any release of the Guarantor effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Hedge
Bank or Cash Management Bank. 
 SECTION 4.11. Limitation on Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor and each Secured Party (by its
acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement) hereby confirms that it is its intention that this Agreement not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Debtor Relief Laws (including the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any similar Federal or state law). To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Guarantor and each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement) hereby irrevocably agrees that the Obligations owing by
the Guarantor under this Agreement shall be limited to such amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such Debtor Relief Laws, result in
the Obligations of the Guarantor in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
