part, whether with the original administrative agent and lenders or other agents and lenders or otherwise, and whether provided under the original ABL Credit Agreement or other credit agreements or otherwise, unless such agreement or instrument

with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, and since the beginning of such period such Person shall have Discharged any Indebtedness or made any Sale or Purchase that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (2),
(3) or (4) above if made by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if

transaction, or the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred or repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged in

Financial Officer or another Responsible Officer of the Borrower; provided that such net cost savings or synergies are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro
forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such
Indebtedness). If any Indebtedness bears, at the option of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, a rate of interest based on a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate or other fixed or floating rate, and such Indebtedness is
being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated by applying such optional rate as the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may designate. If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect was
Incurred under a revolving credit facility, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be
deemed to accrue at an interest rate determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP.

reasonably expected to be realized within 18 months of the date of the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA as evidenced in a certificate of a Responsible Officer dated the date of such calculation and (z) the aggregate amount of cost savings

Lender shall, at the option of the Swing Line Lender, exercised reasonably, either (i) notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the Revolving Commitments, make a Revolving Loan as an ABR Loan (which Revolving Loan shall be deemed a
“Revolving Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) or (ii) purchase an undivided participating interest in such Swing Line Loans, in either case in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Commitment Percentage determined on the date of, and immediately prior to, expiration or termination of the Revolving Commitments of the aggregate principal amount of such Swing Line Loans; provided that, in the event that any
Mandatory Revolving Loan Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, insolvency, receivership,
administration or liquidation or similar law with respect to the Borrower), then each Revolving Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Revolving Loan Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted
for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swing Line Lender such participations in such outstanding Swing Line Loans as shall be necessary to cause such Revolving Lenders to share in such
Swing Line Loans ratably based upon their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages; provided, further, that (x) all interest payable on the Swing Line Loans shall be for the account of the Swing Line Lender until the date as of
which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations
pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Revolving Lender shall be required to pay the Swing Line Lender interest on the principal amount of the participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the
Mandatory Revolving Loan Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans made as ABR Loans. Each Revolving Lender will make the proceeds of any
Revolving Loan made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, in funds
immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date on which the Revolving Commitments expire or terminate. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Line Loans outstanding on the date of
termination or expiration of the Revolving Commitments. In the event that the Revolving Lenders purchase undivided participating interests pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph (d), each Revolving Lender shall immediately transfer to the
Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender will deliver to such Lender a Swing Line Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in
such amount. 
 (e)    Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such
Revolving Lender’s participating interest in a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account thereof (whether directly from the Borrower in respect of such Swing Line Loan or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral
applied thereto by the Swing Line Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Swing Line Lender will, if such payment is received prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, distribute to such Revolving Lender its pro
rata share thereof prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise, the Swing Line Lender will distribute such payment on the next succeeding Business Day (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time
during which such Revolving Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender
will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Line Lender to it. 
  

 -54- 

 (f)    Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Loans and to
purchase participating interests with respect to Swing Line Loans in accordance with subsections 2.4(c) and (d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or
an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender; (v) any
inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which such Revolving Loan is to be made or participating interest is to be purchased; or (vi) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
 2.5    Term Loans. 

(a)    Term Loans Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make, in
Dollars, in a single draw on the Closing Date, one or more term loans (each, a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth opposite such Term Loan Lender’s name in
Schedule A under the heading “Term Loan Commitment,” as such amount may be adjusted or reduced pursuant to the terms hereof. 
 (b)    Term Loans. The Term Loans: 
 (i)    except as hereinafter
provided, shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans; provided that unless the Administrative Agent either otherwise agrees in its sole discretion or has
determined that the Syndication Date has occurred, all Term Loans shall be maintained (A) during the first week following the Closing Date, as ABR Loans and (B) thereafter, until the date that is 90 days following the Closing Date, as
either (x) ABR Loans or (y) Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one month, with the first such Interest Period commencing on the first day of the period described in this clause (B); and 
 (ii)    shall be made by each Term Loan Lender in an aggregate principal amount which does not exceed the Term Loan Commitment (in
the case of Term Loans) of such Term Loan Lender. 
 Once repaid, Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed. 
 2.6    Term Notes and Amortization. 
 (a)    Term Notes. The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Term Loan Lender made on or prior to the Closing Date or in connection with any assignment
pursuant to subsection 10.6(b), in order to evidence such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Term Loan Lender a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit H-3 (each, as
amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Term Note”), with appropriate insertions therein as to payee, date and principal amount, payable to such Term Loan Lender and in a principal amount
equal to the unpaid principal amount of the applicable Term Loans made (or acquired by assignment pursuant to subsection 10.6(b)) by such Term Loan Lender to the Borrower. Each Term Note shall be dated the Closing Date and shall be payable as
provided in subsection 2.6(b) and provide for the payment of interest in accordance with subsection 3.1. 
  

 -55- 

 (b)    Amortization. The aggregate Term Loans of all the Term Loan Lenders
shall be payable in consecutive quarterly installments beginning December 31, 2007 up to and including the Term Loan Maturity Date (subject to reduction as provided in subsection 3.4), on the dates and in the principal amounts, subject to
adjustment as set forth below, equal to the respective amounts set forth below (together with all accrued interest thereon) opposite the applicable installment dates (or, if less, the aggregate amount of such Term Loans then outstanding):

  

			
	Date	  	Amount
	 	  	 
	Each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 ending prior to the Term
Loan Maturity Date	  	0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans
	Term Loan Maturity Date	  	all unpaid aggregate principal amounts of any outstanding Term Loans

 2.7 Procedure for Term Loan Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent
notice (which notice must have been received by the Administrative Agent prior to 9:30 a.m., New York City time, and shall be irrevocable after funding) on the Closing Date specifying the amount of the Term Loans to be borrowed and the proposed
Borrowing Date. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof. Each Lender having a Term Loan Commitment will make the amount of its pro rata share of the Term Loan Commitments available,
in each case for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in subsection 10.2 prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Closing Date in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall on such date credit the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent. 
 2.8    Record of Loans. 
 (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of: (i) each Revolving Lender, the then unpaid
principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender made to the Borrower, on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Revolving Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8); (ii) the Swing Line
Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans made to the Borrower, on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Swing Line Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8); and
(iii) each Term Loan Lender, the amount specified in subsection 2.6(b) (or such earlier date on which the Term Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of the Loans made to the Borrower from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in subsection 3.1. 
 (b) Each Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of
the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection 10.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be
recorded (i) the amount of each 

  

 -56- 

 
Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable
or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d)    The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to subsection 2.8(b) shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to
maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. 
 2.9    Letters of Credit. 
 (a)    L/C Commitment. 
 (i)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in subsection 2.9(d), agrees to issue letters of credit (the letters of
credit issued on and after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 2.9, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period but in no event later than the third
Business day prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall not issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such
issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit would exceed $100.0 million or (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit of all the Lenders would exceed the Revolving Commitments of all the Lenders then in effect.
Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and shall be either (A) a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, which finance the working
capital and business needs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business (a “Standby Letter of Credit”) or (B) a commercial letter of credit in respect of the purchase of goods or services by
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business (a “Commercial Letter of Credit”), and (ii) unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Lender, mature not more than twelve months after the date of issuance
(automatically renewable annually thereafter or for such longer period of time as may be agreed by the relevant Issuing Lender) and, in any event no later than the third Business Day prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date (except to the
extent cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender). Each Letter of Credit shall be deemed to constitute a utilization of the Revolving Commitments and shall be participated in (as
more fully described in following subsection 2.9(d)) by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars. 
 (ii)    Unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower at the time of issuance, each Letter of Credit shall be
subject to the Uniform Customs and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. All Letters of Credit shall be issued on a sight basis only. 
 (iii)    The Issuing Lender shall not at any time issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause
the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law. 
 (b)         Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. 
 (i)        The Borrower may from time to time request during the Revolving Commitment Period but in no event later than the third Business Day prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date that

  

 -57- 

 
the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, at their respective addresses for notices
specified herein, a Letter of Credit Request therefor (completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuing Lender), and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon
receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the Issuing Lender shall (i) confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower and,
if not so received, the Issuing Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof and (ii) process such Letter of Credit Request and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection
therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and, unless notified by the Administrative Agent, any Lender 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 subsection 5.2 shall not then be satisfied, shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier
than three Business Days after its receipt of the Letter of Credit Request therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary
thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. Promptly after the issuance or amendment of any
Standby Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such issuance or amendment. Upon receipt of such notice,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders, in writing, of such issuance or amendment, and if so requested by a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall provide to such Lender copies of such issuance or amendment. With regard to
Commercial Letters of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall on the first Business Day of each week provide the Administrative Agent, by facsimile, with a report detailing the aggregate daily outstanding Commercial Letters of Credit during the previous
week. 
 (ii) The making of each request for a Letter of Credit by the Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the
Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, subsection 2.9(a). Unless the Issuing Lender has received notice from the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that
one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate subsection 2.9(a), then the Issuing Lender may issue the requested Letter of Credit in
accordance with the Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. 
 (c)    Fees, Commissions and Other
Charges. 
 (i) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender and the L/C
Participants, a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, computed for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit through to the expiration date of such Letter
of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurocurrency Loans that are Revolving Loans calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed, of the
maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit minus the L/C Facing Fee, payable on the last Business Day of each quarter in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to such Letter of Credit and on the Revolving
Facility Maturity Date or such earlier date as the Revolving Commitments shall terminate as provided herein. Such commission shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders to be shared ratably among them in accordance
with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender a fee equal to 1/8 of 1.0% per annum (but in no event less than $500.00 per
annum for each Letter of Credit) of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (the “L/C Facing Fee”), payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to 

  

 -58- 

 
such Letter of Credit and on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date or such other date as the Revolving Commitments shall terminate. Such commissions and fees
shall be nonrefundable. Such fees and commissions shall be payable in Dollars. 
 (ii)    In addition to the foregoing
commissions and fees, the Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise
administering any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender. 
 (iii)    The Administrative Agent shall, promptly
following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants all commissions and fees received by the Administrative Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to this subsection 2.9(c). 
 (d)    L/C Participations. 
 (i)    The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant
irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided
interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined on the date of issuance of the relevant Letter of Credit) in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued or continued
hereunder, the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder and the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement with respect thereto (although Letter of Credit fees and commissions shall be payable directly to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender and L/C Participants, as provided in subsection 2.9(c), and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any facing fees with respect to any such Letters of
Credit) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed
in full by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit in accordance with subsection 2.9(e)(i), such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Administrative Agent’s
address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall
relieve the Issuing Lender of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender, or otherwise affect any defense or other right that any L/C Participant may have as a result of such gross negligence or
willful misconduct. All calculations of the L/C Participants’ Revolving Commitment Percentages shall be made from time to time by the Administrative Agent, which calculations shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (ii)    If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender on
demand by the Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 2.9(d)(i) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender
within three Business Days after the date such demand is made, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of such amount, times the daily average
Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, times a fraction
the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to subsection 2.9(d)(i) is not in fact made available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days 

  

 -59- 

 
after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon
calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as ABR Loans hereunder. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this
subsection (which shall include calculations of any such amounts in reasonable detail) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
 (iii)    Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received through the Administrative Agent from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in
accordance with subsection 2.9(d)(i), the Issuing Lender receives through the Administrative Agent any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit or otherwise, including
proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent or by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent will, if such payment is received prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on a
Business Day, distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the Administrative Agent will distribute such payment on the next succeeding Business Day; provided,
however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender through the
Administrative Agent the portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent to it. 
 (e)    Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. 
 (i)    Upon receipt from the
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) upon receipt by the Borrower of notice from the Issuing Lender of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued on its behalf and paid by the Issuing Lender, for the amount of such draft so paid and
any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender at its address for
notices specified herein and in immediately available funds, on the date which is two Business Days after the Borrower receives such notice. 
 (ii)    Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrower under this subsection 2.9 (i) from the date the draft presented under the affected Letter of Credit is paid to the date on
which the Borrower is required to pay such amounts pursuant to paragraph (a) above at the rate which would then be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans that are Revolving Loans and (ii) thereafter until payment in full at the rate which
would be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans that are Revolving Loans which were then overdue. 
 (f)    Obligations
Absolute. 
 (i)    The Borrower’s obligations under this subsection 2.9 shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any of them may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any L/C Participant or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit;
provided that this paragraph shall not relieve the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant, or otherwise affect any defense
or other right that the Loan Parties may have as a result of any such gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  

 -60- 

 (ii)    The Borrower agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not
be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under subsection 2.9(e) shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents
shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower
against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee; provided that this paragraph shall not relieve the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Issuing Lender or such L/C Participant, or otherwise affect any defense or other right that the Loan Parties may have as a result of any such gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (iii)    Neither the Issuing Lender nor any L/C Participant shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in
transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except with respect to errors or omissions caused by such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (iv)    The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit
or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCC, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the
Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to the Borrower. 
 (g)    Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be
presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in respect of any Letter of
Credit in connection with any draft presented for payment under such Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft)
delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit; provided that this paragraph shall not relieve the Issuing Lender of any liability resulting from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender, or otherwise affect any defense or other right that the Loan Parties may have as a result of any such gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (h)    Letter of Credit Request. To the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Request related to any Letter of
Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this subsection 2.9, the provisions of this subsection 2.9 shall apply. 
 (i)    Additional Issuing Lender. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Lender, designate one
or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing lender under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing lender pursuant to this subsection 2.9(i) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Lender” (in addition to being a
Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Lender or Issuing Lenders and such Lender. Any such additional Issuing
Lender may resign as Issuing Lender (with respect to any future issuances, including renewals) upon 10 Business Days’ notice to the Lenders. 
 (j)    Replacement of Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time (x) by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor
Issuing Lender or (y) by the Borrower, for any reason, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Administrative Agent shall notify 

  

 -61- 

 
the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees
accrued for the account of such replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 2.9(c). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (1) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of such replaced
Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (2) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to
such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of any Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations
of any Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to amend or extend any previously issued Letters of Credit.

 SECTION 3    GENERAL PROVISIONS. 
 3.1    Interest Rates and Payment Dates. 
 (a)    Each
Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

 (b)    Each ABR Loan shall bear interest for each day that it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the
ABR for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day. 
 (c)    If all or a portion of (i) the
principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any commitment fee, letter of credit commission, letter of credit fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (w) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the relevant foregoing provisions of
this subsection 3.1 plus 2.00%, (x) in the case of any Reimbursement Obligation, at the rate applicable under subsection 2.9(e)(ii) without giving effect to the proviso thereto plus 2.00%, (y) in the case of overdue

interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection 3.1 shall be payable from time to time on demand. 
 (e)    It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is stipulated and agreed that the aggregate of all amounts which constitute interest under applicable usury
laws, whether contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received, in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement or any Notes, or any other document relating or referring hereto or thereto, now or hereafter existing, shall never
exceed under any circumstance whatsoever the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable usury laws. 
 3.2    Conversion and Continuation Options. 
 (a)    The Borrower may elect from
time to time to convert outstanding Loans from Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior 

  

 -62- 

 
irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period
with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans from ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election. Any
such notice of conversion to Eurocurrency Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. All or
any part of outstanding Eurocurrency Loans and ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower that no such conversions may be made and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan after the date that is one month prior to
the Revolving Facility Maturity Date (in the case of conversions of Revolving Loans) or the Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of conversions of Term Loans). 
 (b)    Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving notice to the Administrative Agent of the
length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan, determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in subsection 1.1, provided that no Eurocurrency Loan may be
continued as such (i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower that no such continuations may be made or
(ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date (in the case of continuations of Revolving Loans) or the Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of continuations of Term Loans), and provided,
further, that, if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this subsection 3.2(b) or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically
converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice of continuation pursuant to this subsection 3.2(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof.

 3.3    Minimum Amounts of Sets. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all
selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans comprising each Set shall be equal to $5.0
million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof, and so that there shall not be more than 15 Sets at any one time outstanding. 
 3.4    Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. 
 (a)    The Borrower may at any time and
from time to time prepay the Loans made to it and the Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued for its account, in whole or in part, subject to subsection 3.12, without premium or penalty, upon at least three Business
Days’ irrevocable notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (in the case of Eurocurrency Loans), and at least one Business Day’s irrevocable notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (in the case of (x) ABR Loans
other than Swing Line Loans and (y) Reimbursement Obligations) or same day irrevocable notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (in the case of Swing Line Loans). Such notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether
the prepayment is (i) of Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans, or a combination thereof, and (ii) of Eurocurrency Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to each
and, in the case of any prepayment of Reimbursement Obligations, the date and amount of prepayment, the identity of the applicable Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit and the amount allocable to each of such Reimbursement Obligations. Upon the
receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and 

  

 -63- 

 
payable on the date specified therein, together with (if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid other than at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto) any
amounts payable pursuant to subsection 3.12 and accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Loans and Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to this subsection 3.4(a) shall be applied (A) in the case of
partial prepayments of Term Loans, to the respective installments of principal of such Term Loans in such order as the Borrower may direct and (B) in the case of partial prepayments of other Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, first, to
payment of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding, second, to payment of the Revolving Loans then outstanding, third, to payment of any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding and, last, to cash collateralize any outstanding
L/C Obligation on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Partial prepayments pursuant to this subsection 3.4(a) shall be in multiples of $1.0 million; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan may be
prepaid in its entirety. The Borrower shall prepay all Swing Line Loans then outstanding simultaneously with each borrowing of Revolving Loans. 
 (b)    On or before the date that is fifteen Business Days following the 90th day after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower ending on or after February 2, 2009 (each, an “ECF Payment Date”),
the Borrower shall, in accordance with subsections 3.4(d) and (e), prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to (A) (x) the ECF Percentage of (i) the Borrower’s Excess Cash Flow for the immediately preceding fiscal year
minus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to subsection 3.4(a), and any loans under the Revolving Facility and the ABL Facility prepaid to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment
reduction under such facility, in each case during such fiscal year excluding prepayments funded with proceeds from the Incurrence of long-term Indebtedness, minus (y) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to
subsection 3.4(a), and any loans under the Revolving Facility and the ABL Facility prepaid to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction under such facility, in each case since the end of such fiscal year and on or
prior to such ECF Payment Date, excluding prepayments funded with proceeds from the Incurrence of long-term Indebtedness (in the case of this clause (y), without duplication of any amount thereof previously deducted in any calculation pursuant to
this subsection 3.4(b) for any prior ECF Payment Date) (the amount described in this clause (A), the “ECF Prepayment Amount”) minus (B) the portion of such ECF Prepayment Amount applied (to the extent the Borrower
or any Restricted Subsidiary is required by the terms thereof) to prepay, repay or purchase other Permitted Additional Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with the Term Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this subsection 3.4(b), proceeds
from the Incurrence of long-term Indebtedness shall not be deemed to include proceeds from the Incurrence of Indebtedness under the Revolving Facility, the ABL Facility, any Special Purpose Financing or any other revolving credit or working capital
financing permitted to be incurred pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 (c)    The Borrower shall, in accordance
with subsections 3.4(d) and (e), prepay the Term Loans to the extent required by subsection 7.4(b)(ii) (subject to subsection 7.4(c)). 
 (d)    Prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to subsections 3.4(b) and (c) shall be applied to installments of principal thereof pursuant to subsection 2.6(b) in forward order of
maturity. 
 (e)    (i) The Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any mandatory prepayment of the
Term Loans (x) pursuant to subsection 3.4(b), ten Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is due and (y) pursuant to subsection 3.4(c), within five Business Days upon becoming obligated to make such prepayment. Such
notice shall state that the Borrower is offering to make such mandatory prepayment (x) on a date that is ten Business Days after the date of such notice in the case of any prepayment pursuant to subsection 3.4(b), or (y) on or before
the date specified in subsection 3.4(c), in the case of a prepayment pursuant to subsection 3.4(c) (any such date of prepayment, a “Prepayment Date”). Once given, such notice shall be irrevocable and all amounts subject to
such notice shall be due and payable on the relevant Prepayment Date as required by subsection 3.4 (except as otherwise 

  

 -64- 

 
provided in the last sentence of this subsection 3.4(e)). Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall
immediately give notice to each Lender of the prepayment and the relevant Prepayment Date. In the case of any prepayment pursuant to subsection 3.4(b) or (c), each Lender may (in its sole discretion) elect to decline any such prepayment by giving
notice of such election in writing to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date that is three Business Days prior to the Prepayment Date. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Administrative Agent
shall immediately notify the Borrower of such election. Any amount so declined by any Lender may, at the option of the Borrower, be applied to pay or prepay the Term Loans of Lenders not declining such prepayment, in the manner described in
subsection 3.4(d), or other obligations under the other Senior Credit Facilities, or otherwise be retained by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or applied by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in any manner not
inconsistent with this Agreement, including subsection 7.4(b). 
 (ii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
subsection 3.4(e)(i), until the THD Guarantee Release Date, the Lenders shall not have the right to decline any prepayment of the Term Loans required pursuant to subsections 3.4(b) or 3.4(c), and the Borrower’s notice under subsection 3.4(e)(i)
shall, instead of making an offer to make a prepayment, state the date that the applicable prepayment shall be made (which shall be the same date such prepayment would otherwise be required to be made pursuant to subsection 3.4(e)(i)), unless, with
respect to any such prepayment, THD consents to providing the Lenders the right to decline such prepayment. 
 (f)    Amounts prepaid on account of Term Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(a), (b) or (c) may not be reborrowed. 
 (g)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 3.4, if at any time any prepayment of any Eurocurrency Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(a), (b) or (c) would
result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth in this Agreement, in the Borrower incurring breakage costs under subsection 3.12 as a result of such Eurocurrency Loans being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period with
respect thereto, then the Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its sole discretion, initially (i) deposit a portion (up to 100.0%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid
in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans with the Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurocurrency Loans not immediately prepaid), to be held as security for the obligations of the Borrower to make such
prepayment pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest
Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Borrower) or (ii) make a prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with subsection 3.4(a) with an amount equal to a portion (up to
100.0%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans (which prepayment, together with any deposits pursuant to clause (i) above, must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurocurrency Loans not
immediately prepaid); provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower may request any Extension of Credit under the Revolving Commitments that would reduce the aggregate amount of the Available
Revolving Commitments to an amount that is less than the amount of such prepayment until the related portion of such Eurocurrency Loans have been prepaid upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such
Eurocurrency Loans; provided that, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans shall continue to bear interest in accordance with subsection 3.1 until such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans or the related
portion of such Eurocurrency Loans have or has been prepaid. 
  

 -65- 

 3.5    Commitment Fees; Administrative Agent’s Fees; Other Fees.

 (a)    Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of each Revolving Lender, a commitment fee for the period from and including the first day of the Revolving Commitment Period to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, computed based on the Commitment Fee Percentage on the average daily
amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Facility
Maturity Date or such earlier date as the Revolving Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on December 31, 2007. 
 (b)    Administrative Agent Fees; Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives any fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed
to in writing by Holding Parent or the Borrower, the Other Representatives and the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement 
 3.6    Computation of Interest and Fees. 
 (a)    Interest (other than interest
based on the Prime Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed; and commitment fees and any other fees and interest based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-day year, as the
case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting
from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and
the affected Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. 
 (b)    Each
determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the
request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail the calculations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection 3.1, excluding any
Eurocurrency Base Rate which is based upon the BBA LIBOR Rates Page and any ABR Loan which is based upon the Prime Rate. 
 3.7    Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower)
that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan (the “Affected Rate”) for such Interest Period,
the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (a) any Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based on
the Affected Rate requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (b) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans the rate
of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans, (c) as to the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s cost of funding such Eurocurrency Loans or as reasonably
determined by such Lender, plus the Applicable Margin hereunder and (d) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans that are Revolving Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurocurrency
Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate and that are not otherwise permitted to be 

  

 -66- 

 
converted to or continued as ABR Loans by subsection 3.2 shall, upon demand by the Lenders the Revolving Commitment Percentage of which aggregate
greater than 50.0%, be immediately repaid by the Borrower on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto together with accrued interest thereon or otherwise, at the option of the Borrower, shall remain outstanding and bear
interest at a rate which reflects, as to each of the Lenders, such Lender’s cost of funding such Eurocurrency Loans, as reasonably determined by such Lender, plus the Applicable Margin hereunder. If any such repayment occurs on a day
which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect to such affected Eurocurrency Loan, the Borrower shall pay to each of the Lenders such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12. Until such notice
has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to
Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate. 
 3.8    Pro Rata
Treatment and Payments. 
 (a)    Each borrowing of Revolving Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) by the Borrower
from the Lenders hereunder shall be made, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee in respect of the Revolving Commitments hereunder shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent, and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments
of the Revolving Lenders shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent, pro rata according to the relevant Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Revolving Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal
of and interest on any Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the respective Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the
Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees, Reimbursement Obligations or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders holding the relevant Loans or the L/C Participants, as the case may be, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in subsection 10.2, and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately
available funds. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to such Lenders, if any such payment is received
prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day, and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day. If
any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of
principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar
month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due from the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender or the relevant Issuing Lender hereunder that such the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such the Borrower has made such payment
on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the
Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the
date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate as quoted by the Administrative Agent. 
  

 -67- 

 (b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any
Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its Revolving Commitment Percentage or Term Credit Percentage, as the case may be, of such borrowing available to such Agent, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower in respect of such borrowing a corresponding amount. If such
amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average
Federal Funds Effective Rate as quoted by the Administrative Agent, or another bank of recognized standing reasonably selected by the Administrative Agent, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the
Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 3.8(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment Percentage or Term Credit Percentage, as the case may be, of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, (x) the Administrative Agent shall notify
the Borrower of the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR
Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower and (y) then the Borrower may, without waiving or limiting any rights or remedies it may have against such Lender hereunder or under applicable law or otherwise, borrow a like amount on an unsecured
basis from any commercial bank for a period ending on the date upon which such Lender does in fact make such borrowing available; provided that at the time such borrowing is made and at all times while such amount is outstanding the Borrower
would be permitted to borrow such amount pursuant to subsection 2.1 and/or take any action permitted by the following subsection 3.8(c). 
 (c)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement: 
 (i)    If at
any time a Revolving Lender shall not make a Revolving Loan required to be made by it hereunder (any such Lender, a “Defaulting Lender”), the Borrower shall have the right to seek one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower to each become a substitute Revolving Lender and assume all or part of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender. In such event, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any such substitute Revolving
Lender shall execute and deliver, and such Defaulting Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance to effect such substitution. 
 (ii)    In determining the Required Lenders, any Lender that at the time is a Defaulting Lender (and the Revolving
Loans and/or Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender) shall be excluded and disregarded. No commitment fee shall accrue for the account of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. 
 (iii)    If at any time the Borrower shall be required to make any payment under any Loan Document to or for the
account of a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower, so long as it is then permitted to borrow Revolving Loans hereunder, may set off and otherwise apply its obligation to make such payment against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make such
Defaulted Loan. In such event, the amount so set off and otherwise applied shall be deemed to constitute a Revolving Loan by such Defaulting Lender made on the date of such set-off and included within any borrowing of Revolving Loans as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably determine. 
  

 -68- 

 (iv)    If, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, which for the
purposes of this subsection 3.8(c)(iv), shall include any Lender that has taken any action or become the subject of any action or proceeding of a type described in subsection 8(f), the Borrower shall be required to pay any amount under any Loan
Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower, so long as it is then permitted to borrow Revolving Loans hereunder, may satisfy such payment obligation by paying such amount to the Administrative Agent, to be (to the
extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent not utilized by the Administrative Agent to satisfy obligations of the Defaulting Lender owing to it) held by the Administrative Agent in escrow pursuant to its standard terms (including as to the
earning of interest), and applied (together with any accrued interest) by it from time to time to make any Revolving Loans or other payments as and when required to be made by such Defaulting Lender hereunder. 
 3.9    Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or
in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (“Affected Loans”), (a) such
Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make
Affected Loans, continue Affected Loans as such and convert an ABR Loan to an Affected Loan shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Affected Loans, such Lender
shall then have a commitment only to make an ABR Loan (or a Swing Line Loan) when an Affected Loan is requested and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the
respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of an Affected Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest
Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12. 
 3.10    Requirements of Law. 
 (a)    If the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender or Issuing Lender, or compliance by any Lender or Issuing Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank
or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender or such Issuing Lender becomes an Issuing Lender): 
 (i)    shall subject such Lender or Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Eurocurrency
Loan, Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Request made or maintained by it or its obligation to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans or issue any Letter of Credit, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or Issuing Lender in
respect thereof in each case, except for Non-Excluded Taxes and taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income, or franchise taxes, or taxes measured by or imposed upon overall capital or net worth, or branch taxes (in the case of such
capital, net worth or branch taxes, imposed in lieu of such net income tax), of such Lender or Issuing Lender or its applicable lending office, branch, or any affiliate thereof; 
 (ii)    shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement
against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account 

  

 -69- 

 
of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender or Issuing Lender which is not
otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate hereunder; or 
 (iii)    shall impose
on such Lender or Issuing Lender any other condition (excluding any tax of any kind whatsoever); 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender or Issuing Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or participating in Letters of Credit or the cost to an Issuing Lender of issuing or
maintaining Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrower from such Lender or Issuing Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the
Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or Issuing Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans or
Letters of Credit, provided that, in any such case, the Borrower may elect to convert the Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender hereunder to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s notice of such
election, in which case the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.10(a) and such amounts, if any, as may be required
pursuant to subsection 3.12. If any Lender or Issuing Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying
(x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the
additional amount demanded by such Lender or Issuing Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender or
Issuing Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This subsection 3.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder. 
 (b)    If any Lender or Issuing Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in
any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender or Issuing Lender with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, Issuing Lender’s
or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s, Issuing Lender’s obligations or hereunder or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender, Issuing Lender or such corporation could have
achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s, Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Lender to be
material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days after submission by such Lender or Issuing Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor certifying (x) that one of the events described
in this paragraph (b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount or amounts
demanded by such Lender, Issuing Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender,
Issuing Lender or corporation for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender or Issuing Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  

 -70- 

 (c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 3.10, the
Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount with respect to any additional cost or reduction specified in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above, to the extent such additional cost or reduction is attributable, directly or indirectly,
to the application of, compliance with or implementation of specific capital adequacy requirements or new methods of calculating capital adequacy, including any part or “pillar” (including Pillar 2 (“Supervisory Review
Process”)), of the International Convergence of Capital Measurement Standards: a Revised Framework, published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004, or any implementation or adoption (whether voluntary or compulsory)
thereof, whether by an EC Directive or the FSA Integrated Prudential Sourcebook or any other law or regulation, or otherwise. 
 3.11    Taxes. 
 (a)    Except as provided below in this subsection or as
required by law, all payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes; provided that if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required
to be withheld from any amounts payable by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Notes, the amounts so payable by the Borrower shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to
such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrower shall be entitled
to deduct and withhold, and the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify for, any Non-Excluded Taxes, and any such amounts payable by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to or for the account of any Agent or Lender shall not be increased
(x) if such Agent or Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) or (c) of this subsection, (y) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed in connection with the payment of any fees paid under this Agreement
unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed (1) as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation that occurred after such Agent became an Agent hereunder or such Lender became a Lender hereunder (or, if such Agent or Lender is a non-U.S.
intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, after the relevant beneficiary or member of such Agent or Lender became such a beneficiary or member, if later) (any such change, at such time, a “Change in
Law”) or (2) on a Person that is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred
after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that
the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective, or (z) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed
(1) as a result of a Change in Law or (2) on a Person that is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of
Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed
the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative
Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt (or other documentary evidence of such payment reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) received by
the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or
other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Agents for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of
any such failure. The agreements in this subsection 3.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 (b)    Each Agent and each Lender that is a “United States person” (within
the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of an Agent or Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this
Agreement pursuant to subsection 10.6, on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Agent or Lender, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form), in each case certifying that
such Agent or Lender is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal backup
withholding Tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. Each Agent and each Lender that is not a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of an Agent or Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to subsection 10.6, on the date of such assignment or
transfer to such Agent or Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) (or successor forms), in each case certifying to such
Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, (ii) if such Agent or Lender is not a
“bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) (or successor form) pursuant to clause
(i) above, (x) two certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit I (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue

of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (and all necessary attachments, including to the extent applicable, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates) certifying to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from
United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note (or, to the extent the beneficial owners of such non-U.S. intermediary or flow through entity are (A) non-U.S. persons claiming
portfolio interest treatment, a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to interest payments or (B) United States persons, a complete exemption from United States federal backup withholding tax), unless, in each case,
such Person is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such
assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such
assignment was effective. In addition, each Agent and Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when the passage of time or a change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate, such Agent or Lender
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty),
or Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption) and a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, or Form W-8IMY (with respect to a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity), as the case may be, and such other forms as may be

non-U.S. intermediary or flow through entity are (A) non-U.S. persons claiming portfolio 

  

 -72- 

 
interest treatment, a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to interest payments or (B) United States persons, a complete
exemption from United States federal backup withholding tax), unless, in each case, (1) there has been a Change in Law that occurs after the date such Agent or Lender becomes an Agent or Lender hereunder (or after the date the relevant
beneficiary or member in the case of a Lender that is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes becomes a beneficiary or member, if later) which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent
such Agent or Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it, in which case such Agent or Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such form or (2) such
Person is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such
assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to
receive at the time such assignment was effective. 
 (c)    Each Agent and Lender shall, upon request by the Borrower,
deliver to the Borrower or the applicable Governmental Authority, as the case may be, any form or certificate required in order that any payment by the Borrower under this Agreement or any Note to such Agent or Lender may be made free and clear of,
and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes (or to allow any such deduction or withholding to be at a reduced rate), provided that such Agent or Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver
such form or certificate. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to subsection 10.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements pursuant
to this subsection 3.11, provided that in the case of a Participant the obligations of such Participant pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this subsection 3.11 shall be determined as if such Participant were a Lender
except that such Participant shall furnish all such required forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased. 
 3.12    Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each such Lender harmless from any loss or expense
which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency
Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment or conversion of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice
thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a payment or prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans or the conversion of Eurocurrency Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect
thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the
date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on
the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as
reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim
any amounts under the indemnity contained in this subsection 3.12, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in clause (a), (b) or
(c) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and (z) as to the amount for which such Lender seeks
indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation 

  

 -73- 

 
thereof. Such a certificate as to any indemnification pursuant to this subsection 3.12 submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to
the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This subsection 3.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 3.13    Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts. 
 (a)    Upon the request, and at the expense, of the Borrower, each Agent, Lender and Issuing Lender to which the Borrower is required
to pay any additional amount pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the
Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender shall not be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to so contest unless the
Borrower shall have confirmed in writing to such Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse such Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender for its reasonable
attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing no Agent, Lender or
Issuing Lender shall be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if such Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender in its sole discretion in good faith
determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it. 
 (b)    If a Lender or Issuing Lender changes its
applicable lending office (other than (i) pursuant to paragraph (c) below or (ii) after an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such
change, would be to cause the Borrower to become obligated to pay any additional amount under subsection 3.10 or 3.11, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount. 
 (c)    If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of
any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Lender by the Borrower pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11, such Lender or Issuing Lender shall promptly after becoming aware of such event or condition notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Loans or issued Letters of Credit, as the case may be, held by such Lender or Issuing
Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender or Issuing Lender); provided that such Lender or Issuing Lender shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be
materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Borrower agrees to reimburse such Lender or Issuing Lender for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof). 
 (d)    If the Borrower shall become obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11 and any affected
Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for payments under subsection 3.10 or 3.11, the Borrower shall have the right, for so long as such obligation remains, (i) with the assistance of the Administrative
Agent, to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or in part, at an aggregate price no less than such Loan’s principal amount plus
accrued interest, and assume the affected obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon at least four Business
Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the affected Loan, in whole or in part, subject to subsection 3.12, without premium or penalty. In the case of the substitution of a Lender, the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the affected Lender, and any substitute 

  

 -74- 

 
Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to subsection 10.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights
to, and the assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by subsection 10.6(b) in connection with such assignment shall be paid by the Borrower or the substitute Lender. In the case of a
prepayment of an affected Loan, the amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. In the case of each of the substitution of a Lender and
of the prepayment of an affected Loan, the Borrower shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under subsections 3.10 and 3.11 (as well as any commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including
any amounts under subsection 3.13) prior to such substitution or prepayment. 
 (e)    If any Agent, Lender or any
Issuing Lender receives a refund directly attributable to taxes for which the Borrower has made additional payments pursuant to subsection 3.10(a) or 3.11(a), such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly
pay such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto received from the relevant taxing authority, but net of any reasonable cost incurred in connection therewith) to the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower agrees
promptly to return such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto due to the relevant taxing authority) (free of all Non-Excluded Taxes) to such Agent, Issuing Lender or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, upon receipt of a
notice that such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority. 
 (f)    The obligations of any
Agent, Lender, Issuing Lender or Participant under this subsection 3.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 3.14    Controls on Prepayment if Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exceeds Aggregate Revolving Commitments. 

(a)    The Borrower will implement and maintain internal controls to monitor the borrowings and repayments of Revolving Loans by
the Borrower and the issuance of and drawings under Letters of Credit, with the object of preventing any request for an Extension of Credit that would result in the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit with respect to all of the Revolving Lenders
(including the Swing Line Lender) being in excess of the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect and of promptly identifying any circumstance where, by reason of changes in exchange rates, the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit with
respect to all of the Revolving Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect. In the event that at any time Parent determines that the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit with respect to all
of the Revolving Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower will, as soon as practicable but in any event within five Business Days of making such determination, first,
make such repayments or prepayments of Revolving Loans (together with interest accrued to the date of such repayment or prepayment), second, pay any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding and, third, cash collateralize any
outstanding L/C Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as shall be necessary to cause the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit with respect to all of the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) to no longer
exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect. If any such repayment or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan pursuant to this subsection occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect
thereto, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12. 
 (b)    The Administrative Agent will calculate the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit with respect to all of the Revolving Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) from time to time, 

  

 -75- 

 
and in any event not less frequently than once during each calendar month. In making such calculations, the Administrative Agent will rely on the information
most recently received by it from the Swing Line Lender in respect of outstanding Swing Line Loans and from the Issuing Lender in respect of outstanding L/C Obligations. 
 (c)    In the event that on any date the Administrative Agent calculates that the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit with respect to all of the Revolving Lenders (including the Swing Line
Lender) exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Administrative Agent will give notice to such effect to the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders. Following receipt of any such notice, the Borrower will, as soon as practicable
but in any event within five Business Days of receipt of such notice, first, make such repayments or prepayments of Revolving Loans (together with interest accrued to the date of such repayment or prepayment), second, pay any
Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding and, third, cash collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as shall be necessary to cause the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit
with respect to all of the Revolving Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) to no longer exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect. If any such repayment or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan pursuant to this subsection occurs
on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Lenders such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12. 
 SECTION 4    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. To induce the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and each Lender to make
the Extensions of Credit requested to be made by it on the Closing Date and on each Borrowing Date thereafter, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants, on the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Transactions, and on each Borrowing Date
thereafter, to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that: 
 4.1    Financial Condition. The audited combined
balance sheets of the Acquired Business and its combined Subsidiaries as of January 29, 2006 and January 28, 2007 and the combined statements of earnings, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows of the Acquired
Business and its combined Subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended January 29, 2006 and January 28, 2007, reported on by and accompanied by unqualified reports from KPMG LLP, present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial
condition as at such date, and the combined results of operations and earnings, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended, of the Acquired Business and its combined Subsidiaries. All
such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered thereby (except as approved by a Responsible Officer of the Acquired
Business, and disclosed in any such schedules and notes, and subject to the omission of footnotes from such unaudited financial statements). 
 4.2    Solvent; No Material Adverse Effect. 
 (a)    As of the Closing Date, after
giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions occurring on the Closing Date, the Borrower is Solvent. 
 (b)    Since the Closing Date, there has not been any event, change, circumstance or development which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

 4.3    Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Loan Parties (a) is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, (b) has the corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own 

  

 -76- 

 
and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, except to the extent that
the failure to have such legal right would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or a limited liability company or an unlimited company and in good standing under the laws
of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 4.4    Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate or other
organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain Extensions of Credit hereunder, and each such Loan Party has taken all
necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents, Notes and Letter of Credit Requests to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the Extensions
of Credit to it, if any, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Notes. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other similar act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be
obtained or made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or, in the case of the Borrower, with the Extensions of Credit to it,
if any, hereunder, except for (a) consents, authorizations, notices and filings described in Schedule 4.4, all of which have been obtained or made prior to or on the Closing Date, (b) filings to perfect the Liens created by the
Security Documents, (c) filings pursuant to the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as amended (31 U.S.C. § 3727 et seq.), in respect of Accounts of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries the Obligor in respect of which is the
United States of America or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof and (d) consents, authorizations, notices and filings which the failure to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Borrower and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party when executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with
its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles
(whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 
 4.5    No Legal Bar. The execution,
delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by any of the Loan Parties, the Extensions of Credit hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof (a) will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Loan Party in any
respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to any such
Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation. 
 4.6    No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or
proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues,
(a) except as described on Schedule 4.6, which is so pending or threatened at any time on or prior to the Closing Date and relates to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) which
would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 -77- 

 4.7    No Default. Since the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Since the Closing Date, no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. 
 4.8     Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries has good title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material property, except where the failure to have such title would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Mortgaged Properties as listed on Schedule 4.8 together constitute all the material real properties owned in fee by the Loan Parties as of the Closing Date. 
 4.9    Intellectual Property. The Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or has the legal right to use, all
United States patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes necessary for each of them to conduct its business substantially as currently conducted (the
“Intellectual Property”) except for those the failure to own or have such legal right to use would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.10     Taxes. To the knowledge of the Borrower, each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has filed or caused to
be filed all United States federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns that are required to be filed by it and has paid (a) all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and (b) all taxes shown to be due and
payable on any assessments of which it has received notice made against it or any of its property, including the Mortgaged Properties, and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority and
no tax Lien has been filed, and no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge (other than, for purposes of this subsection 4.10, any (i) taxes, fees, other charges or Liens with respect to which the failure to
pay, or the existence thereof, in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) taxes, fees or other charges the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently
conducted and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of Holding, the Borrower or one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be). 
 4.11    Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Extensions of Credit will be used for any purpose that violates
the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X. 
 4.12    ERISA. 
 (a)    During the five year period prior to each date as of which
this representation is made, or deemed made, with respect to any Plan (or, with respect to (vi) or (viii) below, as of the date such representation is made or deemed made), none of the following events or conditions, either individually or
in the aggregate, has resulted or is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect: (i) a Reportable Event; (ii) an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or

any Multiemployer Plan; or (x) any transactions that resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in any liability to the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity under Section 4069 of ERISA or Section 4212(c) of ERISA;

Governmental Authorities); (vi) any facts that, to the best knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, exist that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a dispute and any pending or threatened disputes that, to the
best knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, would reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries concerning the assets of any Foreign Plan (other than
individual claims for the payment of benefits); and (vii) failure to make all contributions in a timely manner to the extent required by applicable non-U.S. law. 
 4.13    Collateral. Upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Holding Pledge Agreement and the Mortgages will be effective to
create (to the extent described therein) in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein, except as may be limited by applicable domestic

expected to result in the cancellation of any such insurance policy or would reasonably be expected to void coverage required to be maintained with respect to such property pursuant to subsection 6.5(a).

pledge or security shall be required with respect to any non-wholly owned Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent that the grant of such pledge or security interest would violate the terms of any agreements under which the
Investment by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries was made therein other than any agreement entered into primarily for the purposes of imposing such a restriction) and (ii) to the extent reasonably deemed advisable by the Collateral Agent,
deliver to the Collateral Agent or the Secured Party Representative (as bailee for perfection on behalf of the Collateral Agent) the certificates, if any, representing such Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers, executed and delivered in
blank by a duly authorized officer of the relevant parent of such new Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary and take such other action as may be reasonably deemed by the Collateral Agent to be necessary or desirable to perfect the Collateral

such Indebtedness so being Incurred), and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, 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 (i) the outstanding or committed principal amount (whichever is higher) of such

Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency and Incurred pursuant to a Senior Credit Facility shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on, at the Borrower’s option, (i) the Closing Date, (ii) any
date on which any of the respective commitments under such Senior Credit Facility shall be reallocated between or among facilities or subfacilities hereunder or thereunder, or on which such rate is otherwise calculated for any purpose thereunder or
(iii) the date of such Incurrence. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange
rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. 
 (e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.1, the Borrower agrees for the benefit of THD (and not for the benefit of any other party) that, until the THD Guarantee Release Date, the Borrower

Notes includes a provision substantially similar to this provision, the foregoing paragraph (c) (as modified as appropriate to conform to such provision) shall continue to apply notwithstanding the refinancing of the Senior Notes or Senior
Subordinated Notes for so long as such notes shall remain outstanding. 
 (c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this subsection 7.5, the Borrower agrees for the benefit of THD (and not for the benefit of any other party) that, until the THD Guarantee Release Date, the Borrower shall not, and no parent of the Borrower shall, violate Section 4.04 of the
THD Guarantee. 
 7.6    Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million unless (i) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not materially less favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained at the
time in a transaction with a Person who is not such an Affiliate and (ii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate consideration in excess of $40.0 million, the terms of such Affiliate Transaction have been approved by a majority of the
Board of Directors. For purposes of this paragraph, any Affiliate Transaction shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements set forth in this subsection 7.6(a) if (x) such Affiliate Transaction is approved by a majority of the
Disinterested Directors or (y) in the event there are no Disinterested Directors, a fairness opinion is provided by a nationally recognized appraisal or investment banking firm with respect to such Affiliate Transaction.

than any Tax Sharing Agreement or Management Agreement referred to in subsection 7.6(b)(vii)), and any payments made pursuant thereto, 
 (v)       any transaction in the ordinary course of business on terms that are fair to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the Board of
Directors or senior management of the Borrower, or are not materially less favorable to the Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time in a transaction with a Person who is not an Affiliate of the
Borrower, 
 (vi)      any transaction in the ordinary course of business, or approved by a
majority of the Board of Directors, between the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Affiliate of the Borrower controlled by the Borrower that is a joint venture or similar entity,

financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of other investment banking activities, of up to $7.5 million in any fiscal year (or such other amount as may be approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors), (y) in
connection with any acquisition, disposition, merger, recapitalization or similar transactions, which payments are made pursuant to the Management Agreements or are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors in good faith, and (z) of all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such services or activities, 
 (viii)    the
Transactions, all transactions in connection therewith (including but not limited to the financing thereof), and all fees and expenses paid or payable in connection with the Transactions, 
 (ix)      any issuance or sale of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower, Junior
Capital or any capital contribution to the Borrower, and

constitutes less than 5.0% of the proposed or outstanding issue amount of such class of securities. 
 7.7       Limitation on Dispositions of Collateral. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Material Restricted Subsidiary that is a Loan Party to, convey, sell, transfer, lease, or otherwise

  

 -108- 

 
dispose of any of the Collateral in any Asset Disposition, or attempt, offer or contract to do so (unless such attempt, offer or contract is conditioned upon
obtaining any requisite consent of the Lenders hereunder and, unless the THD Guarantee Release Date shall have occurred, THD), except for any Asset Disposition made or to be made in accordance with subsection 7.4, and the Administrative Agent
shall, and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to, execute such releases of Liens and take such other actions as the Borrower may reasonably request in connection with any Asset Disposition (or any transaction excluded from the

Documents. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Material Restricted Subsidiary to:

prepayment or by acceleration or otherwise of the Senior Notes or Senior Subordinated Notes, or increases the amount of, or accelerates the time of payment of, any fees or other amounts payable in connection therewith; 
 (ii)      which relates to any material affirmative or negative covenants or any events of default or
remedies thereunder and the effect of which is to subject the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to any more onerous or more restrictive provisions; or 
 (iii)    which otherwise adversely affects the interests of the holders of the Senior Notes or the Senior
Subordinated Notes or the interests of the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any material respect; or 
 (c)     effect any extension, refinancing, refunding, replacement or renewal of Indebtedness under the ABL Loan Documents, unless such refinancing Indebtedness, to the extent secured by any assets of any Loan Party,
is secured only by assets of the Loan Parties that constitute Collateral for the obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents pursuant to a security agreement subject to the Intercreditor Agreement or another

Subordinated Notes Indenture) permitted pursuant to subsection 7.1. 
  

 -109- 

 7.9    Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted
Subsidiaries. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Material Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to
(i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, (ii) make any loans or advances to the Borrower or any Subsidiary
Guarantor or (iii) transfer any of its property or assets to the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor (provided that dividend or liquidation priority between classes of Capital Stock, or subordination of any obligation (including the
application of any remedy bars thereto) to any other obligation, will not be deemed to constitute such an encumbrance or restriction), except any encumbrance or restriction: 
 (a)    pursuant to an agreement or instrument in effect at or entered into on the Closing Date, the Senior
Facilities, the Senior Notes Indenture and the Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture;

finance, or otherwise in connection with, such acquisition, merger or consolidation); provided that for purposes of this subsection 7.9(b), if a Person other than the Borrower is the Successor Company with respect thereto, any Subsidiary
thereof or agreement or instrument of such Person or any such Subsidiary shall be deemed acquired or assumed, as the case may be, by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, when such Person becomes such Successor Company;

 (c)    pursuant to an agreement or instrument (a “Refinancing Agreement”) effecting a
refinancing of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to, or that otherwise extends, renews, refunds, refinances or replaces, an agreement or instrument referred to in subsection 7.9(a) or (b) above or this subsection 7.9(c) (an
“Initial Agreement”) or contained in any amendment, supplement or other modification to an Initial Agreement (an “Amendment”); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any
such Refinancing Agreement or Amendment taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Lenders than encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial Agreement or Initial Agreements to which such Refinancing Agreement or Amendment
relates (as determined in good faith by the Borrower); 
 (d)    (i) that restricts in a customary manner
the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is subject to a lease, license or similar contract, or the assignment or transfer of any lease, license or other contract, (ii) by virtue of any transfer of, agreement to
transfer, option or right with respect to, or Lien on, any property or assets of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement, (iii) contained in mortgages, pledges or other security agreements securing

Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, or (ix) pursuant to Hedging Obligations entered into for bona fide hedging purposes; 
 (e)    with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary (or any of its property or assets) imposed pursuant to an agreement
entered into for the direct or indirect sale or disposition of all or substantially all the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary (or the property or assets that are subject to such restriction) pending the closing of such sale or
disposition; 
 (f)    by reason of any applicable law, rule, regulation or order, or required by any
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their businesses; or 
 (g)    pursuant to an agreement or instrument (i) relating to any Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Closing Date pursuant to subsection 7.1, (A) if the encumbrances and restrictions
contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Lenders than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial Agreements (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), or (B) if
such encumbrances and restrictions are not materially more disadvantageous to the Lenders than is customary in comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) and either (x) the Borrower determines in good faith that such
encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Borrower’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Loans or (y) such encumbrance or restriction applies only if a default occurs in respect of a payment or financial
covenant relating to such Indebtedness, (ii) relating to any sale of receivables by or Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary or (iii) relating to Indebtedness of or a Financing Disposition by or to or in favor of any Special Purpose Entity.

after any such interest or other amount becomes due in accordance with the terms hereof; or 
 (b)    Any
representation or warranty made or deemed made by any Loan Party herein or in any other Loan Document (or in any amendment, modification or supplement hereto or thereto) or that is contained in any certificate furnished at any time by or on behalf
of any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any such other Loan Document shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect on or as of the date made or deemed made; or 
 (c)    Any Loan Party shall default in the observance or performance of any agreement contained in
subsection 6.7(a) or Section 7 (other than Sections 7.1(e) and 7.5(c)); provided that, in the case of a default in the observance or performance of its obligations under subsection 6.7(a), such default shall have continued
unremedied for a period of two days after a Responsible Officer of the Borrower shall have discovered or should have discovered such default; or

 -111-

such Indebtedness was created; (ii) any Loan Party or any of its Material Restricted Subsidiaries shall default in the observance or performance of any other agreement or condition relating to any Indebtedness (excluding the Loans) referred to
in clause (i) above or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or any other event shall occur or condition exist (other than Section 8.10 (or any similar provision) of the ABL Credit Agreement),
which default or other event or condition continues for a period of greater than 60 days and the effect of which default or other event or condition is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of such Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on
behalf of such holder or holders) to cause, with the giving of notice or lapse of time if required, such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity (an “Acceleration”) and, if any notice (a “Default

agreement contained in the THD Guarantee (other than under Sections 4.03 or 4.04 thereunder or a payment default described in clause (i) above), and such default shall continue unremedied for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the date
32 days after a Responsible Officer of the Borrower shall have discovered or should have discovered such default and (ii) the date 15 days after written notice has been given to the Borrower by or on behalf of THD. 
 then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to
the Borrower, the Commitments, and any obligation of an Issuing Lender 

  

 -113- 

 
to issue, amend or renew Letters of Credit shall automatically immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other
amounts owing under this Agreement (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable
and the outstanding Letters of Credit shall be cash collateralized in accordance with the following paragraph, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, any or all of the following actions may be taken: (i) other than with
respect to an Event of Default specified in paragraph (k) above, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower,
(x) declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate and/or (y) declare any obligation of any Issuing Lender to issue, amend or renew Letters of Credit to be terminated; and/or
(ii) other than with respect to an Event of Default specified in paragraph (k) above, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by
notice to the Borrower, (x) declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable and/or
(y) require the Borrower to cash collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the following paragraph and/or (iii) until the occurrence of the THD Guarantee Release Date, upon the request of THD, the Administrative
Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Term Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement related or with respect thereto to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall
immediately become due and payable. Until the occurrence of the THD Guarantee Release Date, THD shall be entitled to give the notice referred to in Section 8(d)(ii) with the same force and effect as if such notice were given by the Required
Lenders. 
 With respect to any Letter of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an
acceleration pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired
amount of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, a security interest in such cash collateral to secure all obligations of the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lenders and the L/C Participants, such further documents and instruments as the Administrative
Agent may request to evidence the creation and perfection of such security interest in such cash collateral account. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in such cash collateral account are subject to any right or
claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of the relevant outstanding Letter of Credit, the Borrower
shall, forthwith, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent as additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate undrawn and unexpired
amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other
obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrower
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
no Lender in its capacity as a Secured Party or as beneficiary of any security granted pursuant to the Security Documents shall have any right to exercise remedies in respect of such security without the prior written consent of the Required
Lenders. 
  

 -114- 

 Except as expressly provided above in this Section 8, presentment, demand, protest and all other
notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived. 
 After the exercise of remedies provided for in this Section 8 (or after the Loans
have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be cash collateralized as set forth above), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent in the following order: 
 (i)      first, to the payment
of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with any Loan Document, including all court costs and the reasonable
fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Loan Party and any other reasonable and documented
costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; 
 (ii)     second, to the Secured Parties, an amount equal to all interest and other amounts constituting Obligations under the Security Documents owing to them on the date of any distribution (other than
(x) principal, (y) reimbursements of unpaid drawings under Letters of Credit and (z) any obligation to cash collateralize Letters of Credit) on the date of any distribution, and any interest accrued thereon and any fees, premiums and
scheduled periodic payments due under Interest Rate Agreements, Currency Agreements, Commodities Agreements or Bank Products Agreements (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) constituting Obligations under the Security Documents and
any interest accrued thereon, in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing; 
 (iii)    third, to the Secured Parties, an amount (x) equal to the principal amount of all Obligations under the Security Documents and premium thereon and any reimbursement obligations
in respect of unpaid drawings under Letters of Credit, in each case owing to them on the date of any distribution, (y) sufficient to cash collateralize all Letters of Credit outstanding on the date of any distribution and (z) any breakage,
termination or other payments under Interest Rate Agreements, Currency Agreements, Commodities Agreements or Bank Products Agreements (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) constituting Obligations under the Security Documents and
any interest accrued thereon; and 
 (iv)    fourth, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to
the applicable Loan Parties or their successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct; 
 provided that any amount applied to cash collateralize any Letters of Credit that has not been applied to reimburse the Issuing Lender for unpaid drawings under the applicable Letters of Credit at the time of
expiration of all such Letters of Credit shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the order specified in clauses (i) through (iv) above.

duties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates (it being understood and agreed that, for
avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may perform any of their respective duties under the Security Documents by or through one or more of their respective affiliates).

 9.2    Delegation of Duties. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, each Agent shall act
solely as agent for the Lenders and, as applicable, the other Secured Parties, and no Agent assumes any (and shall not be deemed to have assumed any) obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact (including the Collateral Agent in the case of the Administrative Agent) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact or counsel selected by it with reasonable care. 
 9.3    Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent, any Other Representative or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Person or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for (i) any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or
any other Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent or any Other Representative under
or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Notes or any other Loan Document, (iii) for any failure of
the Borrower or any other Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iv) the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
(v) the satisfaction of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5, or (vi) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. No Agent or any Other Representative shall be under any obligation to any
Lender 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 the Borrower or any other
Loan Party. Each Lender agrees that, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or given to the Administrative Agent for the account of or with copies for
the Lenders, 

  

 -116- 

 
the Agents and the Other Representatives shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the
business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other Loan Party which may come into the possession of the Agents and the Other Representatives or any of their officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. 
 9.4    Reliance by the Administrative Agent.
Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected (and shall have no liability to any Person) in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement,
order 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 the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with subsection 10.6 and
all actions required by such subsection in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder
of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor. Each Agent shall be fully justified as between itself and
the Lenders in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is
required pursuant to subsection 10.1(a) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take
any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and any Notes and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders and/or such other
requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to subsection 10.1(a), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. 

9.5    Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any
Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action reasonably promptly with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to subsection 10.1(a); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall
have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of
the Lenders. 
 9.6    Acknowledgements and Representations by Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no
Agent or Other Representative nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent or any Other Representative hereafter taken,
including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent or such Other Representative to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents, the Other
Representatives and each of the Loan Parties that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Other Representatives or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made
and will make, its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the 

  

 -117- 

 
other Loan Parties, it has made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement and it will make its own decisions in taking or
not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither any Agent nor any Other Representative shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing
basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. Each Lender represents to each
other party hereto that it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution, insurance company, investment fund or company or other financial institution which makes or acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course of
its business, that it is participating hereunder as a Lender for such commercial purposes, and that it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder. Each Lender acknowledges and
agrees to comply with the provisions of subsection 10.6 applicable to the Lenders hereunder. 
 9.7    Indemnification. 
 (a)    The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent (or any
Affiliate thereof), each Issuing Lender (or Affiliate thereof) and each Other Representative (or any Affiliate thereof) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do
so), ratably according to their respective Term Credit Percentages or Revolving Commitment Percentages, as the case may be, in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this subsection 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought
after the date upon which the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and the Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Total Credit Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Term Loans) be imposed on, incurred by
or asserted against any Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any Agent (or any
Affiliate thereof) under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements to the extent arising from (a) such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (b) claims made or legal proceedings commenced against such Agent by any security holder or creditor thereof arising out
of and based upon rights afforded any such security holder or creditor solely in its capacity as such. The obligations to indemnify the Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender shall be ratable among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their
respective Revolving Commitments (or, if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, the outstanding principal amount of their respective Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations and their respective participating interests in the outstanding Letters
of Credit) and shall be payable only by the Revolving Lenders. The agreements in this subsection 9.7(a) shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 (b)    Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document
(except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Loan Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 
 (c)    The provisions of this subsection 9.7 shall apply to
the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such to the same extent that such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent. 
 9.8    The Agents and Other Representatives in Their Individual Capacity. The Agents, the Other Representatives and their Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally 

  

 -118- 

 
engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any other Loan Party as though the Agents and the Other Representatives were not the Administrative Agent
or the Other Representatives hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to Loans made or renewed by them and any Note issued to them and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by them, the Agents and the Other
Representatives shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though they were not an Agent or an Other Representative, and the terms “Lender” and
“Lenders” shall include the Agents and the Other Representatives in their individual capacities. 
 9.9    Collateral Matters. 
 (a)    Each Lender authorizes and directs the
Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and any Replacement Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note or
participant in a Letter of Credit by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Replacement Intercreditor Agreement, and the exercise by the Agents or the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or
further consent from any Lender, from time to time, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted
pursuant to the Security Documents. 
 (b)    The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent, as applicable, in each case at its option and in its discretion, to (A) release any Lien granted to or held by such Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon payment and satisfaction of all of the obligations under the Loan Documents at
any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and with no Letters of Credit outstanding (unless cash collateralized or otherwise provided for in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and no other amounts owing hereunder, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than a Loan Party) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with
subsection 7.4, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such greater amount, to the extent required by subsection 10.1) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant
Security Documents or (B) enter into any intercreditor agreement on behalf of, and binding with respect to, the Lenders and their interest in designated assets, to give effect to any Special Purpose Financing, including to clarify the
respective rights of all parties in and to designated assets. Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of
Collateral pursuant to this subsection 9.9. 
 (c)    The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in each case at its option and in its discretion, to enter into any amendment, amendment and restatement, restatement, waiver, supplement or modification, and to make or consent to any filings or to take any
other actions, in each case as contemplated by subsection 10.17. Upon request by any Agent, at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s authority under this subsection.

 (d)    No Agent or Issuing Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Lenders to assure that the Collateral
exists or is owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to any Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly 

  

 -119- 

 
or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at
all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agents in this subsection 9.9 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that
in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, each Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given such Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as Lender and that no Agent shall
have any duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (e)      The Collateral Agent may, and hereby does, appoint the Administrative Agent as its agent for the purposes of holding any Collateral and/or perfecting the Collateral Agent’s security interest
therein and for the purpose of taking such other action with respect to the Collateral as such Agents may from time to time agree. 
 9.10    Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment of a successor as set forth herein, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, respectively, upon
10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required
Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall
succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent,” as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon
such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of
the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or Issuing Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Additionally, after any retiring Agent’s resignation as such Agent, the provisions of this subsection shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was such Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After the resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding provisions of this subsection, the resigning Administrative Agent shall
not be required to act as Issuing Lender for any Letters of Credit to be issued after the date of such resignation and shall not be required to act as Swing Line Lender with respect to Swing Line Loans to be made after the date of such resignation
(and all outstanding Swing Line Loans of such resigning Administrative Agent shall be required to be repaid in full upon its resignation), although the resigning Administrative Agent shall retain all rights hereunder as Issuing Lender and Swing Line
Lender with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it, and all Swing Line Loans made by it, prior to the effectiveness of its resignation as Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 9.11    Other Representatives. None of the entities identified as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers pursuant to the
definition of “Other Representative” contained herein, shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any other Loan Document in its capacity as such. 
 9.12    Swing Line Lender. The provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such
to the same extent that such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent. 
 9.13    Withholding Tax. To the
extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other
jurisdiction 

  

 -120- 

 
asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including
because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective),
such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid,
directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties thereto, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses. 

9.14    Approved Electronic Communications. Each of the Lenders and the Loan Parties agree that the Administrative Agent
may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinksTM or a substantially similar electronic platform
chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). The Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform are provided (subject to subsection 10.16)
“as is” and “as available.” 
 Each of the Lenders and (subject to subsection 10.16) each of the Loan Parties agrees
that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s
generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies. 
 SECTION 10    MISCELLANEOUS. 
 10.1    Amendments and Waivers. 
 (a)      Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived except in accordance with the provisions of

obligations of the Lenders or the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (y) waive at any Loan Party’s request, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be,
may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or
modification shall: 
 (i)       reduce or forgive the amount or extend the scheduled date
of maturity of any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation hereunder or of any scheduled installment thereof or reduce the stated rate of any interest, commission or fee payable hereunder (other than as a result of any waiver of the applicability of
any post-default increase in interest rates) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment or change the currency in which any Loan or Reimbursement
Obligation is payable, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the
aggregate Commitment of all Lenders shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Lender);

  

 -121- 

 (ii)       amend, modify or waive any provision of
this subsection 10.1(a) or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority Lenders,” or consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than pursuant to subsection 7.3 or 10.6(a)), in each case without the written consent of all the Lenders; 
 (iii)      release any Guarantor under any Security Document, or, in the aggregate (in a single transaction
or a series of related transactions), all or substantially all of the Collateral without the consent of all of the Lenders, except as expressly permitted hereby or by any Security Document (as such documents are in effect on the date hereof or, if
later, the date of execution and delivery thereof in accordance with the terms hereof); 
 (iv)      require any Lender to make Loans having an Interest Period of longer than six months without the consent of such Lender; 
 (v)       amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written consent of the
then Agents and of any Other Representative affected thereby; 
 (vi)      reduce the
percentage specified in the definition of “Required Revolving Lenders” without the written consent of all the Revolving Lenders; 
 (vii)     amend, modify or waive any provision of subsection 5.2 applicable to the making of a Revolving Loan without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders; 
 (viii)    amend, modify or waive any provision of the Swing Line Note (if any) or subsection 2.4 without the
written consent of the Swing Line Lender and each other Lender, if any, which holds, or is required to purchase, a participation in any Swing Line Loan pursuant to subsection 2.4(d); 
 (ix)      amend, modify or waive the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any L/C Obligation without the
written consent of the Issuing Lender and each affected L/C Participant; or 
 (x)       amend, modify or waive the order of application of payments set forth in subsection 3.4(d) or 3.8(a) hereof, or Section 4.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement, in each case without the
consent of the Supermajority Lenders; 
 provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may, in its discretion,
release the Lien on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $10.0 million in any fiscal year without the consent of any Lender. 
 (b)       Any waiver and any amendment, supplement or modification pursuant to this subsection 10.1 shall apply to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans and the Revolving Commitments. In the case of any waiver, each of the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent
thereon. 
  

 -122- 

 (c)    Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be
amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and, until the occurrence of the THD Guarantee Release Date, THD (x) 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 existing
Facilities and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof, (y) to include, as appropriate, the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders or of the Lenders of each Facility hereunder and
(z) to provide class protection for any additional credit facilities in a manner consistent with those provided the original Facilities pursuant to the provisions of subsection 10.1(a) as originally in effect. 
 (d)    Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any Security Document may be amended (or amended and restated),
restated, waived, supplemented or modified as contemplated by subsection 10.17 with the written consent of the Agent party thereto and the Loan Party party thereto. 
 (e)    If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document as contemplated by
subsection 10.1(a), the consent of each Lender, the Supermajority Lenders or each affected Lender, as applicable, is required and the consent of the Required Lenders at such time is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders
whose consent is required is not obtained (each such other Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may, on prior written notice to the Administrative and the Non-Consenting Lender, replace such Non-Consenting Lender by
causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to subsection 10.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall
have agreed to the applicable change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents; and provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the
Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance. In connection with any such replacement under this subsection 10.1(e), if the Non-Consenting Lender
does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement within a period of time deemed reasonable by the Administrative Agent after the
later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Consenting Lender
relating to the Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Consenting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other
documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender. 
 (f)    Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (i) until the occurrence of the THD Guarantee Release Date,
(x) no waiver, amendment or other modification of any Loan Document shall be effective if such waiver, amendment or other modification violates Section 4.02 of the THD Guarantee, (y) no waiver, amendment or other modification of the
THD Guarantee shall be effective unless consented to in writing by THD, and (z) no waiver of any Default or Event of Default that would adversely affect the interests of THD shall be effective unless consented to by THD and (ii) the THD
Guarantee may be amended in accordance with Section 9.05 thereof.

Subsidiaries or the presence of Materials of Environmental Concern at, on or under, and Release of Materials of Environmental Concern at, on, under or from any such properties or facilities (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the
“Indemnified Liabilities”), provided that the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Other Representative or any Lender (or any of their
respective affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, attorneys and other advisors, agents and controlling persons) with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from (i) the gross

 -126- 

 
the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Other Representative or any such Lender by any security holder or creditor thereof arising

with the Facilities. All amounts due under this subsection 10.5 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor. Statements reflecting amounts payable by the Loan Parties pursuant to this subsection 10.5 shall be
submitted to the address of the Borrower set forth in subsection 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a notice to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided
in clauses (b) and (c) above, the Borrower shall have no obligation under this subsection 10.5 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Taxes imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority. The agreements
in this subsection 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans, the L/C Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 10.6    Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. 
 (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 (including any affiliate of an Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except
that (i) other than in accordance with subsection 7.3, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer
by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this subsection 10.6. 
 (b)    (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the
ordinary course of business and in accordance with applicable law, assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitments and/or Loans,
pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A)    The Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event
of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; provided, further, that if any Lender assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one of its
affiliates in connection with or in contemplation of the sale or other disposition of its interest in such affiliate, the Borrower’s prior written consent shall be required for such assignment; and 
 (B)    the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, as the case may
be, the amount of Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than
(x) $1.0 million in the case of Term Loans and (y) $5.0 million in the case of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments, in each case unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no
such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (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; 
  

 -127- 

 (B)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to
the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00; provided that for concurrent assignments to two or more Approved Funds such assignment fee shall only be required to be paid
once in respect of and at the time of such assignments; and 
 (C)    the Assignee, if it shall not be a
Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire. 
 For the purposes of this subsection 10.6, the term
“Approved Fund” has the following meaning: any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is
administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
 (iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall
be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all 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 (and bound by any related obligations under) subsections 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this subsection.

 (iv)    The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the
Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this subsection 10.6, to maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses
of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and interest and principal amount of the Loans 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender 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 the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this subsection and
any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this subsection, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such
assignment and recordation to the Borrower. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
  

 -128- 

 (vi)    On or prior to the effective date of any assignment pursuant to this
subsection 10.6(b), the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower
marked “cancelled.” 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.6(b) or any other provision of this
Agreement, if the Borrower shall have consented thereto in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loans and Commitments via an
electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent (the “Settlement Service”). At any time when the
Administrative Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed Assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service,
which procedures shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower and shall be consistent with the other provisions of this subsection 10.6(b). Each assigning Lender and proposed Assignee shall comply with the requirements of the
Settlement Service in connection with effecting any assignment of Loans and Commitments pursuant to the Settlement Service. If so elected by each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing (it being understood that the Borrower shall
have no obligation to make such an election), the Administrative Agent’s and the Borrower’s approval of such Assignee shall be deemed to have been automatically granted with respect to any transfer effected through the Settlement Service.
Assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until Administrative Agent notifies Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein. The Borrower may withdraw its consent
to the use of the Settlement Service at any time upon at least 10 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, and thereafter assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions
otherwise set forth herein. 
 Furthermore, no Assignee, which as of the date of any assignment to it pursuant to this
subsection 10.6(b) would be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsection 3.10, 3.11 or 10.5 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive as of such date under such subsections with respect to the rights
assigned, shall be entitled to receive such greater payments unless the assignment was made after an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing or the Borrower has expressly consented in writing to waive
the benefit of this provision at the time of such assignment. 
 (c)    (i) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may,
in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, and (D) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender 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 pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby
pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of subsection 10.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this subsection, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
(and shall have the related obligations under) sub-sections 3.10, 

  

 -129- 

 
3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 10.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
subsection. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to subsection 10.7(a) as though it
were a Lender. 
 (ii)    No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under subsection 3.10, 3.11
or 10.5 than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at
the time of such participation. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 3.11 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with subsection 3.11(b) and/or (c) or to provide the forms and certificates referenced
therein to the Lender that granted such participation and such failure increases the obligation of the Borrower under subsection 3.11. 
 (iii)   Subject to paragraph (c)(ii), any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may also sell participations on terms other than the terms set forth in paragraph (c)(i) above, provided such participations are on terms and
to Participants satisfactory to the Borrower and the Borrower has consented to such terms and Participants in writing. 
 (d)    Any Lender, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of
such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this subsection shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a
security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute (by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (e)    No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any Assignee or Participant shall be effective without the
prior written consent of the Borrower if it would require the Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Borrower shall be entitled to request and receive such
information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee or Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment or participation is otherwise in accordance with
applicable law. 
 (f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may
have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in subsection 10.6(b). The Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby
confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state,
federal or provincial bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit
Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. Each
such indemnifying Lender shall pay in full any claim received from the Borrower pursuant to this subsection 10.6(f) within 30 Business Days of receipt of a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower specifying in reasonable detail
the cause and amount of the loss, cost, damage or expense in respect of which the claim is being asserted, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Without limiting the indemnification obligations of any indemnifying Lender
pursuant to this subsection 10.6(f), in the event that the indemnifying Lender fails 

  

 -130- 

 
timely to compensate the Borrower for such claim, any Loans held by the relevant Conduit Lender shall, if requested by the Borrower, be assigned promptly to
the Lender that administers the Conduit Lender and the designation of such Conduit Lender shall be void. 
 (g)    If the
Borrower wishes to replace the Loans or Revolving Commitments with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders
instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Revolving Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders to assign such Loans or Revolving Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the
terms thereof in accordance with subsection 10.1 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to subsection 10.1(d)). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans to be replaced shall be purchased at par
(allocated among the Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Revolving Commitments were being optionally reduced or prepaid by the Borrower), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest
and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to subsection 3.12. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders, as applicable, shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the
form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit A, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the
perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement. 
 10.7    Adjustments; Set-off; Calculations; Computations. 
 (a)    If any Lender (a
“Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans or Reimbursement Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily,
by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in subsection 8(f), or otherwise (except pursuant to subsection 3.4, 3.13(d) or 10.6)), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any
other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, owing to it, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders an interest (by
participation, assignment or otherwise) in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the
proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such
excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 
 (b)    In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice
to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) to set-off and appropriate and apply against any amount then due
and payable under subsection 8(a) by the Borrower any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 
  

 -131- 

 10.8    Judgment. 
 (a)    If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes
necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this subsection 10.8 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under any Loan Document in any currency (the “Obligation
Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts
of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such
conversion is made pursuant to this subsection 10.8 being hereinafter in this subsection 10.8 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”). 
 (b)    If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in subsection 10.8(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment
Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Loan Party shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in
the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment
or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Loan Party under this subsection 10.8(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any
other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents. 
 (c)    The term “rate of exchange” in
this subsection 10.8 means the rate of exchange at which the Administrative Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 Noon (New York time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with its normal course foreign currency exchange practices,
the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency. 
 10.9    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by
one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement
signed by all the parties shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 10.10    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability
without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 10.11    Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of each of the Loan Parties
party hereto, the Agents, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Agents, the Issuing Lender or
any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 
 10.12    GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER
JURISDICTION. 
  

 -132- 

 10.13    Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally: 
 (a)    submits for itself and its property in any legal action or

 (b)    consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such
action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees not to plead or claim the same; 
 (c)    agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the
Borrower, the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, at the address specified in subsection 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent, any such Lender and the Borrower shall have been notified
pursuant thereto; 
 (d)    agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of
process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and 
 (e)    waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this subsection any consequential or punitive damages.

 10.14    Acknowledgements. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

 (b)    neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent, Other Representative, Issuing

 10.16    Confidentiality. 
 (a)    Each Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Other Representative and each Lender agrees to keep confidential any information
(x) provided to it by or on behalf of Holding or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to or in connection with the Loan Documents or (y) obtained by such Lender based on a review of the books and records of Holding or any of its Subsidiaries;
provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing any such information (i) to any Agent, Issuing Lender, any Other Representative or any other Lender, (ii) to any Transferee, or prospective Transferee or any
creditor or any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations which agrees to comply with the provisions of this subsection (or with other confidentiality
provisions satisfactory to and consented to in writing by the Borrower) pursuant to a written instrument (or electronically recorded agreement from any Person listed above in this clause (ii), which Person has been approved by the Borrower
(such approval not be unreasonably withheld), in respect to any electronic information (whether posted or otherwise distributed on IntraLinksTM or any other electronic distribution system)) for the benefit of Holding and the Borrower (it being
understood that each relevant Lender shall be solely responsible for obtaining such instrument (or such electronically recorded agreement)), (iii) to its affiliates and the employees, officers, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and
other professional advisors of it and its affiliates, provided that such Lender shall inform each such Person of the agreement under this subsection 10.16 and take reasonable actions to cause compliance by any such Person referred to in
this clause (iii) with this agreement (including, where appropriate, to cause any such Person to acknowledge its agreement to be bound by the agreement under this subsection 10.16), (iv) upon the request or demand of any Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction over such Lender or its affiliates or to the extent required in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as shall otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, provided
that such Lender shall, unless prohibited by any Requirement of Law, notify the Borrower of any disclosure pursuant to this clause (iv) as far in advance as is reasonably practicable under such circumstances, (v) which has been publicly
disclosed other than in breach of this Agreement, (vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, under any Loan Document or under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement related to the Transaction Documents, (vii) in
connection with periodic regulatory examinations and reviews conducted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Lender or its affiliates (to the extent applicable),
(viii) in connection with any litigation to which such Lender (or, with respect to any Interest Rate Protection Agreement related to the Transaction Documents, any affiliate of any Lender party thereto) may be a party, subject to the proviso in
clause (iv), and (ix) if, prior to such information having been so provided or obtained, such information was already in an Agent’s, Issuing Lender’s, Other Representative’s or a Lender’s possession on a non-confidential
basis without a duty of confidentiality to Holding or the Borrower (or any of their respective Affiliates) being violated. 
 (b)    Each Lender acknowledges that any such information referred to in subsection 10.16(a), and any information (including requests for waivers and amendments) furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates or their respective securities. Each Lender
represents and confirms that such Lender has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; that such Lender will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable
law, including United States federal and state securities laws; and that such Lender has identified to the Administrative Agent a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its
compliance procedures and applicable law. 
 10.17    Permitted Additional Indebtedness. In connection with the
incurrence by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof of Permitted Additional Indebtedness, each of the Administrative 

  

 -134- 

 
Agent and the Collateral Agent agree to execute and deliver any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or
other modifications to, any Security Document (including, but not limited to, any Mortgages), and to make or consent to any filings or take any other actions in connection therewith, as may be reasonably deemed by the Borrower to be necessary or
reasonably desirable for any Lien on the assets of any Loan Party permitted to secure such Permitted Additional Indebtedness to become a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be designated by the relevant Loan Party or Subsidiary, to the
extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents) pursuant to the Security Document being so amended, amended and restated, restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified or otherwise. 
 10.18    USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot
Act (Title III of Pub. Law 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor, which information
includes the name of the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the Patriot Act, and the Borrower agrees to provide such
information from time to time to any Lender. 
 10.19    Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Capital Stock in, and
Promissory Notes Owed by, Persons Not Organized in the U.S. To the extent any Security Document requires or provides for the pledge of promissory notes issued by, or Capital Stock in, any Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside
the United States, it is acknowledged that, as of the Closing Date, no actions have been required to be taken to perfect, under local law of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective promissory notes or whose Capital Stock is pledged,
under the Security Documents. The Borrower hereby agrees that, following any request by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to do so, the Borrower shall, and shall cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, take (to the extent they may lawfully
do so) such actions (including the making of any filings and the delivery of appropriate legal opinions) under the local law of any jurisdiction with respect to which such actions have not already been taken as are reasonably determined by the
Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to be necessary or reasonably desirable in order to fully perfect, preserve or protect the security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents under the laws of such jurisdictions.

 10.20    Lender Interests. Unless the THD Guarantee Release Date shall have occurred, wherever the interest of
the Lenders, or whether a term is advantageous or disadvantageous or favorable or less favorable (or words to similar effect), is to be considered hereunder, such considerations shall be on the basis as if the Term Loans do not benefit from the THD
Guarantee. 
 10.21    Effects of Payments by THD; Subrogation. The Administrative Agent shall receive as
attorney-in-fact of each Term Lender any amounts guaranteed by THD under the THD Guarantee. Any and all amounts guaranteed by THD under the THD Guarantee disbursed by the Administrative Agent from claims made under this Agreement shall not be
considered payment by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and shall not discharge the obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party with respect thereto. THD shall, to the extent it makes any payment with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations (as defined in the THD Guarantee), become subrogated to all of the rights of the recipient of such payments to the extent of such payments, including all claims or actions relating thereto or arising therefrom, and with respect to such
Guaranteed Obligations, shall be deemed a “Lender” for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and under the other Loan Documents. Subject to and conditioned upon any payment with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations by or on behalf of
THD, THD shall automatically be deemed to be assigned, conveyed or otherwise transferred all rights, title and interest in and to such Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of all payments made by THD all without delivery of any instrument or
performance of any act by any party, and the Term Lenders shall be deemed in connection therewith to have 
  

 -135- 

 
executed and delivered to THD an Assignment and Acceptance. At the request of THD following any such assignment, conveyance or other transfer, the
Administrative Agent and each Term Loan Lender shall execute and deliver to THD, at the Borrower’s expense, all documents that THD shall reasonably request to evidence such assignment. Each of the Borrower, the Term Lenders, and each other Loan
Party agrees that any payment, reimbursement or indemnity obligation owing to, or subrogation claim held by, THD under the THD Guarantee shall not be subject to any setoffs, defenses or counterclaims. 
 10.22    Lender Agreement With Respect to THD Guarantee; THD Rights. Each Lender hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of the
THD Guarantee to the same extent as if it were a party thereto and authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into the THD Guarantee on its behalf. THD is a beneficiary of this Agreement and shall be entitled to exercise all the rights and
remedies available in law or in equity to enforce this Agreement.

 [Cash Flow Credit Agreement Signature Page]Amend and Waiver No.1 to the Credit Agreement among HD Supply, Inc.

 Exhibit 10.2 
 EXECUTION VERSION 
 AMENDMENT AND WAIVER NO. 1 
 TO 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

This AMENDMENT AND WAIVER NO. 1 to the CREDIT AGREEMENT (as defined below), dated as of October 2, 2007 (this “Amendment and
Waiver”), is entered into among HDS ACQUISITION SUBSIDIARY, INC., a Delaware corporation, (the rights and obligations of which have been assumed by HD SUPPLY, INC., a Delaware corporation) (the “Borrower”), MERRILL LYNCH
CAPITAL CORPORATION, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and collateral agent for the Lenders and the Lenders party hereto (the “Lenders”), and amends the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement. 
 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, the Credit Agreement dated as of August 30, 2007 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”) was entered into among the Borrower, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto, the Administrative Agent, JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Issuing Lender, and LEHMAN BROTHERS INC. and J.P. MORGAN
SECURITIES INC., as Co-Syndication Agents; 
 WHEREAS, the Guarantee and Reimbursement Agreement dated as of August 30,
2007 (the “Guarantee Agreement”) was entered into among The Home Depot, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“THD”), the Borrower, each Other Guarantor (as defined therein), and the Administrative Agent; 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Required Lenders agree to amend and waive certain provisions of the Credit Agreement as
described below in Section One; 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that THD consent to the amendment of certain provisions
of the Credit Agreement as described below in Section One; 
 WHEREAS, Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement provides that
the Credit Agreement may be amended, modified and waived from time to time; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 SECTION ONE            Amendments and Waivers. 
   1. A new Section 6.1(e) shall be added to the Credit Agreement which shall state: 
   “(e)      Extension of Delivery Date under Subsection 6.1(b). Solely with respect to the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ended July 29, 2007, the Required Lenders agree to extend the
delivery date for the items required under Subsection 6.1(b), together with all other documents and certificates required to be delivered under the Credit Agreement 

 
concurrently with such items (including the documents and certificates referred to in Sections 6.1(c) and (d) and Section 6.2(b)) to
October 29, 2007. The Borrower agrees to deliver to the Administrative Agents and the Lenders the financial statements required under Subsection 6.1(b), together with such other documents and certificates referred to in the preceding sentence,
no later than to October 29, 2007, and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the failure to deliver any of such financial statements, documents or certificates on or before October 29, 2007 shall, notwithstanding anything else
contained herein (including any grace period specified in Section 8), constitute an immediate Event of Default. So long as there shall be no failure to comply with the immediately preceding sentence, any Default or Event of Default which arises
solely due to the non-delivery of such financial statements under Subsection 6.1(b) with respect to the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ended July 29, 2007 or any of such related documents and certificates is hereby waived.” 
   2. Section 3.4(b) shall be amended by deleting the reference therein to “February 2, 2009” and replacing it
with “February 1, 2009”. 
 SECTION TWO            Conditions to
Effectiveness.  This Amendment and Waiver shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) counterparts of this Amendment and Waiver executed by the Borrower, (ii) a counterpart of this Amendment
and Waiver signed on behalf of a number of Lenders sufficient to constitute the Required Lenders and (iii) written consent to this Amendment and Waiver from THD. The effectiveness of this Amendment and Waiver (other than Sections Five, Six and
Seven hereof) is conditioned upon the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section Three hereof. 
 SECTION
THREE         Representations and Warranties.  In order to induce the Lenders party hereto to enter into this Amendment and Waiver, the Borrower represents and warrants to each of the
Lenders that both before and after giving effect to this Amendment and Waiver: (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (other than any Default or Event of Default waived by this Amendment and Waiver) and (b) all
of the representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement are true and complete in all material respects (except to the extent qualified by “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect,” in which case such representations and
warranties shall be true and correct in all respects and except to the extent otherwise waived by this Amendment and Waiver) on and as of the date hereof as if made on the date hereof (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated
to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date). 
 SECTION
FOUR           Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement.  On and after giving effect to this Amendment and Waiver, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this
Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in each of the Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement,” “thereunder,” “thereof”
or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment and Waiver. The Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically amended by this
Amendment and Waiver, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment and Waiver 

  

 2 

 
shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or any Agent under any of the Loan Documents,
nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. 
 SECTION
FIVE           Costs and Expenses.  Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders incurred in connection
with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment and Waiver and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, if any (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of Cahill Gordon & Reindel
LLP, counsel to the Administrative Agent). 
 SECTION
SIX             Execution in Counterparts.  This Amendment and Waiver may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment and Waiver by
telecopier or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment and Waiver. 
 SECTION
SEVEN Governing Law.  THIS AMENDMENT AND WAIVER AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AMENDMENT AND WAIVER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
