Agreement, any access to Seller Books and Records shall be governed solely under, and subject to the terms of, the Transition Services Agreement and the limited services described therein and (B) following the expiration of the Transition
Services Agreement, such access shall not exceed the scope of the services as specified in Schedule A to the Transition Services Agreement (including any limitations upon such services) and Seller shall be reimbursed as agreed upon in writing by
Seller and Buyer, with such reimbursement to be no less than the amounts established in Schedule A to the Transition Services Agreement. 

(c) After the Closing, Buyer will, and will cause the Company and its Representatives to, afford to Seller and its Representatives (at
Seller’s sole expense), access (i) to the Transferred Books and Records during normal business hours upon reasonable notice by Seller and Seller shall be entitled to make and keep copies of the Transferred Books and Records (other than
Specified Liabilities Privileged Materials), and (ii) to such employees of Buyer or its Subsidiaries (including the Company) as is reasonably necessary to resolve any Claims for which Seller or its Affiliates may be responsible. 

(d) All information received pursuant to this Section 4.1 that is not generally available to the public shall be
kept confidential by the Party obtaining such information, subject to any disclosure (i) to such Party’s Representatives that are subject to confidentiality obligations (with such Party responsible for any breach of confidentiality by such
Representatives) or (ii) that 

  
 18 

 
is required to be made by such Party in order to comply with a subpoena, discovery request, applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange upon which its securities or the
securities of its Affiliates are traded provided that reasonable notice (and consultation to the extent practicable) shall be provided to the other Party prior to any such disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Buyer nor Seller (or their
respective Affiliates) shall be required to provide such access or furnish such information if it in good faith reasonably believes that doing so would be reasonably be expected to (w) significantly interfere with the business or operations of
such Party; (x) breach or violate any applicable Law or Order, (y) result in the loss of attorney-client privilege, work-product protection or any other privilege or protection, or (z) violate any confidentiality obligation with
respect to such information, provided that in each case of (w), (x), (y) and (z) the Parties agree to collaborate in good faith to make alternative arrangements to allow for such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in the
events set forth in (w), (x), (y) or (z). 
 Section 4.2 Post-Closing Distributions. 

(a) During the period ending six (6) years following Closing (the “First Transfer Restriction Period”), the Company
shall not, and Buyer shall cause the Company not to, directly or indirectly (including by merger, combination, dissolution, splitting, division, divisive merger, amalgamation or otherwise by operation of law), (A) make any dividend, distribution,
payment or other transfer of cash or other assets (including by a loan or other intercompany agreement) to Buyer or any of its current or future Affiliates or (B) assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable or responsible for liabilities or
obligations of Buyer or any of its current or future Affiliates (the transactions described in (A) or (B), each, a “Transfer”). During the period commencing immediately after the First Transfer Restriction Period and ending ten
(10) years following Closing, the Company shall not, and Buyer shall cause the Company not to, directly or indirectly, undertake or effect any Transfer unless (i) the Company has obtained an actuarial valuation report as to the
undiscounted aggregate amount of the Specified Liabilities of the Company from an independent third party actuarial firm with expertise in valuing mass tort product liability claims, that is dated and issued to the Company no more than three
(3) months prior to the Transfer; (ii) such Transfer is (1) consummated in accordance with applicable Laws in force and effect from time to time under which the Company is subject and (2) would not be reasonably expected to be or
give rise to an avoidable transfer, fraudulent transfer, or fraudulent conveyance (as such terms are defined under applicable Laws in force and effect from time to time under which the Company is subject); (iii) any loan or other lending arrangement
under which a Transfer is effected (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.2) shall only be made by the Company to a creditworthy Affiliate of Buyer at such time with a
maturity or duration of less than twelve (12) months after providing the Seller with the latest audited financial statements and an up-to-date balance sheet of such
Affiliate of Buyer; (iv) prior to such Transfer, the Company shall have provided to Seller (or a member of the Seller Group designated by Seller) a solvency opinion from a nationally recognized valuation firm or investment bank regarding the
Transfer, which opinion concludes that the Company is Solvent immediately prior to the Transfer and shall be Solvent immediately after giving effect to the Transfer; and (v) following the Transfer, the Company shall have adequate funds to cover
the payment, performance and discharge of Specified Liabilities as such liabilities fall due and become payable (and any costs and expenses related to defense of such matters and any insurance coverage litigation) and all operating expenses
(including expenses with respect to employees, office space and other 

  
 19 

 
administrative expenses, if any). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.2, Buyer shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to,
transfer, directly or indirectly, the equity of the Company (including by merger, reorganization, consolidation or operation of law) for a period of ten (10) years following Closing; provided that, following the tenth (10th) anniversary
of the Closing, nothing in this Section 4.2 shall restrict the transfer, directly or indirectly, of the equity of the Company, so long as following such transfer Buyer, the Company and such transferee remain subject to the
covenants and indemnities of this Agreement, including indemnification obligations set forth in Article V. The Company shall not, and Buyer shall cause the Company not to, form any Subsidiary of the Company. Each of Buyer and the Company
hereby agrees that it shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, amend, restate or otherwise modify the limited liability company agreement of the Company in contravention of this Section 4.2. For the
avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 4.2 is intended to limit the Company’s ability to pay or agree to pay any Management Fees (as defined below) to Buyer or its Affiliates, to the extent in compliance
with Section 4.10. 
 Section 4.3 Publicity. In connection with the execution of this Agreement, Buyer
and Seller (or their applicable Affiliates) may issue a mutually agreed press release (as to both content and timing) regarding the transactions contemplated herein; provided that each Party shall be permitted an opportunity to review the
press release of the other Party prior to its publication, and thereafter no Party shall issue a separate press release regarding the transactions contemplated herein without the prior written approval of the other Parties (not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed). Except as provided in the Non-Disclosure Agreement (subject to the terms and conditions therein, including the termination provisions) and
Section 4.9 of this Agreement, the Parties shall not otherwise be subject to confidentiality obligations with respect hereto; provided, further, that notwithstanding the
Non-Disclosure Agreement, but subject to Section 4.8 of this Agreement, the Parties (and their Affiliates) may disclose information (a) about the transactions contemplated herein
(but not non-public information regarding the other Parties) to other Persons, including current or prospective investors and analysts or (b) as may be required or advisable (in the good faith judgment of
such Party or its outside counsel) under applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange upon which its securities or the securities of its Affiliates are traded. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 4.3, Seller shall be permitted to communicate with current or prospective investors and analysts details regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with
Seller’s bona fide investor relations strategies. 
 Section 4.4 Director & Officer Indemnification.

 (a) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, Buyer will cause the Company to (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless to
the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, all past and present managers, employees, agents, directors and officers of the Company (each in such capacities and, together with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, a
“Company Indemnified Party”) against any Liabilities, costs, expenses or other Losses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any Claims (whether asserted before or after the Closing)
arising out of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing related to, or arising out of, the Specified Liabilities in connection with such Company Indemnified Party having served as a manager, director, officer, agent or employee of the
Company or any of its current or former Subsidiaries or having served at the request of the 

  
 20 

 
Company or any of its current or former Subsidiaries as a manager, director, officer, agent or employee of any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, employee
benefit plan, trust or other business, and (ii) provide, to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law, advancement of expenses to each Company Indemnified Party from the Company pursuant to either the Constituent Documents of the
Company or indemnification agreements with the Company, in each case as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, subject to receipt of an undertaking from such Company Indemnified Party to repay such advanced amounts if it is determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that such Company Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification. Buyer shall cause the Company to honor all indemnification agreements subject to this
Section 4.4(a) with any Company Indemnified Party in effect as of the date of this Agreement. 
 For the avoidance
of doubt, this Section 4.4(a) shall only require Buyer to cause the Company to provide indemnification or advance expenses to any Company Indemnified Party for Claims related to the Specified Liabilities. 

(b) Any obligation on the part of Seller and its Subsidiaries or their respective insurers, including any directors’ and officers’
liability insurance policy of the Seller, to indemnify or advance expenses to any Company Indemnified Party shall be secondary to the obligations of Buyer and the Company pursuant to this Section 4.4, and each of Buyer and
the Company irrevocably waive, relinquish and release Seller and such Subsidiaries from any and all claims Buyer or the Company may have against Seller and its Subsidiaries for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect
thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing does not limit the indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to Article V. 

(c) Without limiting the restrictions in Section 4.2, in the event that the Company or any of its successors or
assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties, rights and
other assets to any Person, then, in each such case, Buyer shall cause proper provision to be made so that such successor or assign of the Company assumes the obligations set forth in this Section 4.4. 

(d) The provisions of this Section 4.4 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, the
Company Indemnified Parties following the Closing and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification, advancement or contribution that any such Person may have by Law, Contract or otherwise. 

Section 4.5 Tax Matters. 

(a) Tax Returns. 

(i) Seller shall timely prepare or cause to be timely prepared and shall timely file or cause to be timely filed with the
appropriate taxing authorities (A) any combined, consolidated, affiliated, unitary, or similar Tax Return that includes Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand (a “Combined Tax
Return”), and (B) all other Tax Returns of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (as defined below) (a “Company Pre-Closing Tax
Return”). Seller shall timely pay all Taxes due with respect to any Tax Return described in this Section 4.5(a)(i). With respect to any Company Pre-Closing Tax Return filed
after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared each such Company Pre-Closing Tax Return on a basis consistent with past practices of the 

  
 21 

 
Company except to the extent such past practices are not likely to be upheld under applicable Law at a “more likely than not” level of confidence. With respect to any Company Pre-Closing Tax Return filed after the Closing Date (other than non-income Tax Returns relating to the MSA SJM Assets), Seller shall (x) deliver a completed draft of said
Tax Return to Buyer for Buyer’s review and comment at least ten (10) days prior to the filing thereof, and (y) reflect any reasonable comments of Buyer to the extent there is not a “more likely than not” level of comfort for
Seller’s position on the Company Pre-Closing Tax Returns referred to in the preceding clause (x). For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall provide to Buyer for review the Check the Box Election as well as
any notices from the IRS received in response to the filing of the Check the Box Election. 
 (ii) Buyer shall prepare or
cause to be prepared all Tax Returns of the Company for all taxable periods ending after the Closing Date. Tax Returns for Straddle Periods shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practices of the Company except to the extent such past
practices are not likely to be upheld under applicable Law at a “more likely than not” level of confidence. With respect to any income Tax Returns for Straddle Periods, Buyer shall (x) deliver a completed draft of said Tax Return to
Seller for Seller’s review and comment at least ten (10) days prior to the filing thereof, and (y) reflect any reasonable comments of Seller to the extent there is not a “more likely than not” level of comfort for
Buyer’s position on the Tax Returns referred to in the preceding clause (x). Seller shall timely pay to Buyer all Taxes due with respect to any Tax Return described in this Section 4.5(a)(ii) that is allocable to the
portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date. 
 (iii) Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall take any
deduction with respect to any Specified Liabilities (including associated legal fees) to the extent currently taken into account on the Company Accounts (other than the portion of such Specified Liabilities for which cash or insurance proceeds have
been contributed to a QSF or paid to plaintiffs prior to the Closing Date) nor will Seller or any of its Affiliates take any such Liabilities into account in determining an amount realized by Seller. 

(b) In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall
be deemed to be: 
 (i) In the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property Taxes), the
amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days
in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period; and 

  
 22 

 (ii) In the case of Taxes not described in (i) above (such as Taxes
that are based upon or related to income or receipts, based upon occupancy or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible)), the amount of any such Taxes shall be
determined as if such Tax period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date, except that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions), other than with
respect to property placed in service after the Closing, shall be allocated on a per diem basis. 
 (c) To the extent permitted under
applicable Law, the taxable year of the Company that includes the Closing Date shall close at the end of the day on the Closing Date for all income Tax purposes, and all income Tax Returns shall be filed consistently with the foregoing. 

(d) Buyer, the Company and Seller shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents,
auditors and other Representatives to reasonably cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all periods relating to Taxes, including by maintaining and making available to each other
all records necessary in connection with Taxes and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided that nothing in this
Section 4.5(d) shall require a Party to provide the other Party with any portion of any Combined Tax Return, including any schedules or workpapers with respect thereto, other than the pro forma tax returns of the Company
that are prepared in connection with any Combined Tax Return. 
 (e) With respect to any Pre-Closing
Tax Period or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to the extent such action would
reasonably be expected to have the effect of increasing the liability of Seller for Taxes pursuant to Article V of this Agreement, Buyer shall cause the Company not to (i) make, change or rescind any Tax election, (ii) amend any Tax
Return, (iii) file any Tax Return in a jurisdiction in which the Company did not file previously (unless Buyer reasonably determines that such filing is necessary based on a change in circumstances occurring after the taxable period in respect
of any previously filed Tax Return and notifies Seller), (iv) engage in any voluntary disclosure or similar process with any taxing authority, (v) extend the statute of limitations with respect to any Tax, in each case except to the extent
required by applicable Law. Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be permitted to make an election under Section 338 of the Code (or any similar election under state or local Tax law) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, and Buyer and Seller and their respective Affiliates shall not be permitted to make an election under Section 336(e) of the Code (or any similar election under state or local Tax law) with respect to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. 
 (f) Tax Claims. 

(i) With respect to any Tax audit or similar administrative or judicial proceeding for Taxes of the Company related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a Straddle Period) for which a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement could be made (a “Tax Claim”), Seller shall, solely at its cost and expense,
control all such Tax Claims; provided, however, that with respect to any 

  
 23 

 
Tax Claim covering a Company Pre-Closing Tax Return (A) Buyer shall have the right to fully participate (at its expense) in any such Tax Claim with
counsel of its own choosing, (B) Seller shall provide Buyer with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Claim, (C) Seller shall first consult, in good faith with Buyer, before taking any action with respect to
the conduct of such Tax Claim, (D) Seller shall consult with Buyer and offer Buyer an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Claim, (E) Seller shall defend such Tax
Claim diligently and in good faith as if it were the only party in interest in connection with such Tax Claim, and (F) Seller shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of Buyer, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if Buyer or one of its Affiliates would suffer adverse consequences as a result. 

(ii) Buyer shall control all Tax Claims (other than any Tax Claim in respect of a Combined Tax Return) related to a Straddle
Period; provided, however, (A) Buyer shall provide Seller with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Claim, (B) Buyer shall first consult with Seller in good faith before taking any significant
action in connection with such Tax Claim, (C) Buyer shall consult with Seller and offer Seller an opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such Tax Claim, (D) Buyer shall
defend such Tax Claim diligently and in good faith as if it were the only party in interest in connection with such Tax Claim, (E) Seller shall be entitled to participate (at its expense) in such Tax Claim and attend any meetings or conferences
with the relevant Governmental Entity, and (F) Buyer shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall have the exclusive right to control in all
respects, and neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to participate in, any Tax Claim with respect to (i) any Tax Return of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company) or (ii) any Combined Tax Return;
provided, however, that in the case of a Tax Claim with respect to a Combined Tax Return that relates to Taxes of the Company, Seller shall provide Buyer with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax Claim.

 (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including the foregoing clauses of this
Section 4.5(f), in the case of any audit, claim, exam, contest or similar administrative or judicial proceeding for Taxes of the Company or any of its Affiliates (i) with respect to the tax treatment or deductibility
of a Specified Liability, including any payments or defense costs associated therewith or (ii) that could reasonably be expected to impact any Tax attributes of the Company, in each case, Buyer shall have all the rights (and Seller shall have
all the obligations) described in the clauses (B) – (E) of Section 4.5(f)(i) with respect to such Tax audit or proceeding. 

  
 24 

 (v) Failure to comply with any of the foregoing clauses of this
Section 4.5(f) shall not affect Buyer’s right to indemnification or Seller’s obligation to provide indemnification under this Agreement where such failure did not materially prejudice Buyer’s or
Seller’s, as the case may be, position or defense as a result thereof. 
 (g) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales,
use stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and any conveyance fees or recording charges, but excluding any Foreign Subsidiary Taxes (collectively and subject to the exclusion, “Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by Seller. The Party required by applicable Law to do so shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all
such Transfer Taxes and, if required by applicable Law, the other Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, as applicable, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other necessary and required documentation. 

(h) Tax Refunds and Credits. Seller shall be entitled to the amount of any refund (or credit in lieu of a refund) of Taxes attributable
to the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or which relate to the portion of a Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date. Buyer shall, if Seller so reasonably requests and at Seller’s
expense, file for and obtain or cause its relevant Affiliates to file for and obtain any refunds or credits with respect to such Tax periods; provided, that Buyer shall not be required to take any action to the extent such action is reasonably
expected to have a non-de minimis adverse impact on Buyer or any of its Affiliates. Seller shall have the right to control the conduct of any such claim for any Pre-Closing Tax Period at Seller’s
sole cost and expense; provided that, except in the case of a Combined Tax Return (i) Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed regarding the status of any such claim, (ii) Buyer shall have the right to participate fully in any such
proceeding, including selecting counsel of its choosing to represent Buyer and (iii) Seller shall not settle or compromise any such claim without obtaining the advance written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed). Payments pursuant to this Section 4.5(h) shall be made in immediately available funds within fifteen (15) days of the actual receipt or realization of the applicable refund or credit and shall
include, for the avoidance of doubt, any interest paid thereon, but shall be net of any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of Buyer and any Taxes in
respect of the receipt or accrual of such refund or credit. 
 (i) Unified Loss Rule Election. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, to the extent Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36 is applicable to Seller or any other member of a combined, consolidated, affiliated, unitary, or similar group that includes Seller or any
Affiliate thereof with respect to the sale of the Company Interests pursuant to this Agreement, each relevant entity shall make, or shall cause to be made, a valid and timely election pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1502-36(d)(6)(i)(A) and 1.1502-36(e)(5) to reduce the basis in the Company Interests by the “attribute reduction amount,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36(d)(3), so as to avoid any reduction to the Company’s Tax “attributes” (as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36(d)(4))
and shall not make any other election under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-36. 

  
 25 

 (j) Tax Agreements. All Tax allocation, Tax sharing, Tax indemnity and similar
Contracts (other than any customary Contracts with customers, vendors, lenders, lessors or the like entered into in the ordinary course of business and for which the primary purpose is not the sharing, allocation or indemnification of Taxes) binding
upon the Company shall be terminated with respect to the Company effective upon the Closing and, after the Closing, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder. 

(k) Tax Treatment. The Parties intend to treat and, as applicable, report the Check the Box Election as an exchange pursuant to
Section 351 of the Code, and will take no position, and cause any of their Affiliates not to take any position, inconsistent with the foregoing unless otherwise required pursuant to a final determination within the meaning of
Section 1313(a) of the Code. 
 Section 4.6 Administration of Claims Post-Closing Related to Specified Liabilities.
Following the Closing, Seller will notify the Company in a timely manner in writing of any Claims with respect to the Specified Liabilities for which Seller or its Affiliate receives service of process, or any attempt for service of process (through
any means) and which Claims have not been served on the Company (or any proper agent thereof); provided that (i) if Seller notifies the Company on or before the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after the date Seller or its
Affiliate have accepted service of process, that notification shall be considered “timely” for purposes of this Section 4.6 and there shall be no limitation of any sort on the right for any Seller Indemnified
Party (as defined below) to be indemnified pursuant to Article V in respect of such Claim and (ii) if Seller notifies the Company after the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after the date Seller or its Affiliate have accepted
service of process, there shall be no limitation of any sort on the right for any Seller Indemnified Party to be indemnified pursuant to Article V in respect of such Claim, except in the case of this clause (ii) to the extent of any
increased Losses which are actually incurred by Buyer or the Company and which materially prejudice Buyer or the Company as a result of such failure or delay. The notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the date and nature and basis of such
claim to the extent known by Seller at the time of submitting such notice; provided that it is understood and agreed that transmittal (including by email or other electronic means) to the Company of a copy of the summons or complaint served
on Seller or its Affiliate alleging any Specified Liability shall satisfy such notice requirement. The Company will promptly assume defense of any Claims with respect to any Specified Liability (regardless of whether initially received by the
Company or by Seller or its Affiliates) and take such actions (1) as are necessary to actively pursue such defense in a manner reasonably intended to mitigate and minimize any Losses related thereto and (2) as are reasonably necessary for
the Company (and not Seller or any Affiliate thereof) to be named as the defendant therein provided that, with respect to this clause (2), in connection with removing Seller (and any Affiliate thereof) as a defendant named therein, Seller will
reasonably cooperate with the Company with respect thereto, including with respect to the prompt provision of information reasonably requested by the Company in relation to such Claim that is reasonably available to Seller. Should the Company fail
to reasonably seek for the Company (and not Seller or any Affiliate thereof) to be named as the defendant therein, after reasonable notice to the Company, Seller has the right to seek dismissal of itself or any Affiliate from any Claim that should
have named the Company as the defendant in a Specified Liability case, and, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller will continue to be indemnified pursuant to Article V for any costs and expenses (or other indemnifiable Losses) incurred by or on
behalf Seller in connection therewith. Neither the Company nor Buyer shall require the prior approval of 

  
 26 

 
Seller or any of its Affiliates to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or payment with respect to such Claim pursuant to this Section 4.6;
provided that any such settlement shall not (A) impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon Seller or its Affiliates, (B) involve a finding or admission of any violation of applicable Law or the rights of any Person by
Seller or its Affiliates or other wrongdoing by Seller or its Affiliates or (C) impose any payment requirements upon Seller or its Affiliates. In the event the Company or Buyer, on one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, dispute whether a
Liability asserted by a Claim constitutes a Specified Liability (such Claim, a “Disputed Claim”), Buyer and the Company, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall cooperate in good faith to promptly resolve such dispute;
provided that, if so requested by Buyer contained in a written notice to Seller of a Disputed Claim involving a Liability set forth on Section 4.6 of the Disclosure Schedules, Seller shall provide reasonable
supporting materials as to the basis for which Seller believes that a Disputed Claim constitutes a Liability set forth on Section 4.6 of the Disclosure Schedules. If a Disputed Claim is not so resolved, such Disputed Claim
will be treated as involving or relating to Specified Liabilities and will comply with all obligations applicable to Specified Liabilities under this Agreement with respect to such Disputed Claim until either (x) an agreement is reached between
Seller and Buyer that such Disputed Claim does not involve Specified Liabilities or (y) there has been a Final Determination that any such Disputed Claim does not involve Specified Liabilities. Additionally, if the Seller or its Affiliates are
named as defendants in connection with any Disputed Claim, Seller or its Affiliates shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume defense of any such Disputed Claims in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 5.3, mutatis mutandis, and, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller will continue to be indemnified pursuant to Article V for any costs and expenses (or other indemnifiable Losses) incurred by or on behalf
of Seller or its Affiliates in connection therewith if either (x) an agreement is reached that such Disputed Claim involves or relates to Specified Liabilities or (y) there has been a Final Determination that any such Disputed Claim
involves or relates to Specified Liabilities. 
 Section 4.7 Recovery Rights. Following the Closing, in the event (a) Buyer
or the Company fails to promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) Business Days of Buyer becoming actually aware that such Recovery Right(s) is exercisable) exercise any applicable Recovery Rights in connection with a matter against which
Seller is to be indemnified pursuant to Article V and Buyer and the Company fail to so indemnify Seller, Seller shall be provided the opportunity to exercise such Recovery Rights following prior written notice to Buyer; and (b) the
Parties become aware of any Recovery Rights related to Specified Liabilities that are not in the name of the Company, to the extent permitted by the underlying Contracts governing such Recovery Rights, Seller shall promptly assign or cause the
assignment of such Recovery Rights to the Company for no additional consideration, subject to the terms of this Section 4.7.

Section 4.8 Names of the Company. 

(a) Seller hereby grants to the Company for a period of one (1) year immediately following the Closing (the “License
Term”) a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, worldwide license to use the Seller Names (as defined below) solely in a factual
manner to the extent reasonably necessary for the Company to defend and settle any pending or future Claim arising out of, related to or in connection with the Specified Liabilities. Any goodwill accruing from such use will inure solely to
Seller’s benefit. As promptly as practicable, but in any event prior to the expiration of the License Term, the Company shall, and Buyer shall cause the Company to, change the name of the Company to any name which does not contain any Seller
Name. 

  
 27 

 (b) From and after the earlier of (i) the expiration of the License Term and
(ii) the date upon which the name of the Company is changed pursuant to Section 4.8(a), the Company shall not, and Buyer shall cause the Company not to, change its name to any name, or otherwise use any name in the
conduct of their respective businesses, that contains the word “MSA”, “Mine Safety” or “Mine Safety Appliances” or any other current name of Seller or any of its Affiliates (or any variation of any of the foregoing or
anything confusing similar thereto) (collectively, the “Seller Names”). For purposes of this Section 4.8, “use” of the Seller Names shall include any reference to any of the Seller Names in any
publication, advertisement, press release, promotion, commercial, conference, convention or other public-facing medium or forum. From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall, and Buyer shall cause the Company to, correct the use of any of the
Seller Names in any such public-facing medium or forum and in any pending or future Claim arising out of, related to or in connection with the Specified Liabilities. Buyer and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Seller and its Affiliates in
changing the use of the Seller Names in connection with any products that were manufactured by the Company prior to the Division, including in respect of any product approvals relating thereto. 

Section 4.9 Confidentiality. Seller acknowledges that any material non-public information
it may have regarding the Specified Liabilities or the Insurance Policies (other than materials subject to Section 6.12 or any information as to which Seller is the exclusive owner of the information and the right to waive
any privilege with respect thereto), is the property of the Company (such information, collectively, the “Proprietary Information”). Accordingly, Seller agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly through any third party or
Affiliate, disclose to any unauthorized Person (other than as is required to be disclosed in connection with bona fide compliance, Tax or regulatory activity or in respect of an exit or sale transaction, provided that each such recipient is subject
to customary confidentiality obligations) any Proprietary Information without the Company’s or Buyer’s prior written consent. Proprietary Information shall not include any information that (a) becomes available to the public other
than as a result of acts or omissions to act of Seller or any of its Affiliates, (b) is required to be disclosed pursuant to (i) any subpoena, discovery request, or other applicable Law (it being agreed that Seller shall, to the extent
legally permissible, provide Buyer or the Company with prompt written notice of any such requirement prior to disclosure of any such Proprietary Information so that Buyer or the Company may seek, at its sole expense, an appropriate protective order
or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.9) or (ii) the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or national market system upon which the securities of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller are listed,
including the filing of any Current Report on Form 8-K or other appropriate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or (c) is used in connection with any Claim to which the Seller or any of
its Affiliates is or becomes a party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Non-Disclosure Agreement or this Agreement, upon the Closing, the Non-Disclosure
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms with respect to Buyer and its Affiliates and Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company), including in respect of all Evaluation Material (as defined in the Non-Disclosure Agreement) of the Seller Group; provided that, solely with respect to Proprietary Information which does not constitute Evaluation Material of the Seller Group, the confidentiality obligations
of Buyer and the Company pursuant to the Non-Disclosure Agreement shall terminate effective upon the Closing.

 Section 4.10 Management Fees. Buyer and the Company agree that any investment
management fees, liability management fees, run-off management fees, monitoring fees, administrative fees, oversight service fees and any similar such fees arising out of, related to or in connection with the
ownership, management or operation of the Company payable by the Company to Buyer or its applicable Affiliate following the Closing (collectively, “Management Fees”) shall be reasonable and comparable to those charged in similar
arm’s length transactions and not in excess of what Buyer would be charged by its Affiliates for similar services. For a period of six (6) years from Closing, Buyer agrees that the Management Fees shall be determined in accordance with
Exhibit A-1 hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the guidelines on Management Fees contained in this Section 4.10 and Exhibit A-1
shall not apply to any unaffiliated third party costs and expenses that may be incurred by and reimbursed to Buyer or its Affiliates, including for third party administrators. 

Section 4.11 Investment Guidelines. Each of Buyer and the Company agree that any investments by or on behalf of the Company
in funds or funding vehicles of Buyer or any of its current or future Affiliates permitted under Section 4.2 shall be made in a reasonable and prudent manner, reasonably matched with expected liquidity requirements
and in accordance with the guidelines set forth on Exhibit A-2 hereto. 
 Section 4.12
Seller Insurance Policies. Following the Closing, Seller, Buyer and the Company shall, to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer and at Buyer’s own expense, each cooperate in good faith to make available to the Company any benefits or
coverage related to Specified Liabilities under the Insurance Policies. Seller and its Affiliates shall not be responsible to the extent that Losses are within any applicable deductible or retention amounts or are otherwise unrecoverable under any
of the Insurance Policies. This Agreement shall in no way limit the ability of Seller or its Affiliates to submit claims under any insurance policy, other than the Insurance Policies. 

ARTICLE V 
 INDEMNIFICATION

 Section 5.1 Survival. The representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement shall survive
the Closing Date hereunder and continue in full force and effect until the date that is the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, except that the Fundamental Representations shall survive until sixty (60) days following the expiration
of the applicable statute of limitations. The covenants in this Agreement that require performance after the Closing shall survive in accordance with their terms. For the avoidance of doubt, other than with respect to indemnification pursuant to
Section 5.2(a)(i) and Section 5.2(b)(i), the indemnification obligations contained herein represent the Parties’ intention to allocate certain liabilities and
obligations and are not claims for breach in any respect, thus the Parties intend for such provisions to remain in effect after Closing in perpetuity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all representations and warranties contained in Articles II
and III of this Agreement related to any claim asserted pursuant to Article V within the relevant time period set forth in this Section 5.1 shall survive until all such claims shall have
been finally resolved and payment in respect thereof, if any is required to be made, shall have been made. 

  
 29 

 Section 5.2 Indemnification. 

(a) By MSA Jacksonville. From and after the Closing, subject to the terms and limitations in this
Section 5.2, MSA Jacksonville agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, the Company and their respective present and future Affiliates on and after the Closing and each of their respective managers, officers,
directors, employees, agents and other Representatives (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses, relating to, arising out of or attributable to: 

(i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Seller in Article II of this Agreement;
provided, however, that Seller has not made any representations or warranties regarding Specified Liabilities or the Insurance Policies and shall not provide any indemnification with respect to any Specified Liabilities and the
Insurance Policies, except solely to the extent of any breach of Section 2.7, Section 2.13(l) or Section 2.14 and subject to the other limitations set forth herein; 

(ii) any breach of or failure by Seller to perform, or cause to be performed, any of the covenants or obligations contained in
this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents that contemplate performance at or following Closing; 
 (iii) all fees and
expenses of counsel, accountants, consultants and advisors to Seller or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates arising or incurred prior to or upon the Closing in connection with the preparation, negotiations, execution and performance of
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein (or any other similar or alternative transaction contemplated by the Seller prior to the Closing), other than fees and expenses which are the subject of Section 6.3;

 (iv) (A) any liability or obligation for Taxes of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company) for any Tax
period, (B) any liability or obligation for Taxes of the Company, for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”) or with respect to any Tax period that
begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date (“Straddle Period”) for the portion thereof ending on the Closing Date, (C) any liability or obligation (as a result of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.1502-6 or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law) for Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) which is or has ever been affiliated
with the Company or with whom the Company otherwise joins or has ever joined (or is or has ever been required to join) in filing any consolidated, combined, unitary, aggregate or similar Tax Return, with respect to any
Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, (D) any liability or obligation for Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) arising as a
transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise by operation of Law, which liability arises as a result of an event or transaction occurring prior to the Closing, (E) any Transfer Taxes payable by Seller pursuant to
Section 4.5(g), (F) any liability or obligation for Taxes as a result of a breach of a covenant or warranty in Section 4.5, (G) for the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes arising from the Division or
(H) any liability or obligation for Foreign Subsidiary Taxes for any Tax period; and 

  
 30 

 (v) (A) any actual or alleged actions, omissions, events, occurrences or
circumstances that occurred prior to, or relate to the period of time prior to, the Closing, (B) the Liabilities arising prior to the Closing described on Exhibit B, and (C) any Environmental Claims, causes of action and other
liabilities and obligations of or against Seller, any of its Affiliates or the Company arising under or relating to Environmental Laws or Hazardous Substance arising out of the properties, products, operation, conduct, business or activities of the
Seller, its Affiliates or the Company prior to the Closing; provided that in each case of the foregoing this clause (v) shall not apply with respect to any Specified Liabilities, Insurance Policies or Taxes. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to
Section 5.2(a)(i): 
 (x) with respect to any given claim for Losses, unless such claim is individually (or when
aggregated with claims arising out of the same or similar facts and circumstances) in excess of $50,000 (the “Individual Basket Amount”) (it being understood that the Buyer Indemnified Parties may recover for the full amount of such
Losses (and not just the excess) once the claim exceeds such Individual Basket Amount); 
 (y) until the aggregate Losses of the Buyer
Indemnified Parties that individually exceed the Individual Basket Amount exceed on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $3,450,000 (the “Deductible”), whereupon the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for the
aggregate Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties that individually exceed the Individual Basket Amount that are in excess of the Deductible; and 

(z) in a cumulative aggregate amount (taking into account all amounts paid by MSA Jacksonville pursuant to
Section 5.2(a)(i) hereunder) exceeding $8,625,000; 
 provided that solely with respect to Losses relating to any breach or
inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation, clauses (x) and (y) above shall not apply and clause (z) above shall be deemed (solely as it applies to the Fundamental Representations) to include the Buyer Contribution Amount in lieu of
“$8,625,000”. 
 (b) By Buyer and the Company. From and after the Closing, Buyer and the Company agree to, jointly and
severally, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller, MSA Jacksonville and their present and future Affiliates and each of their respective managers, officers, directors, employees, agents and other Representatives (each, a “Seller
Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses, relating to, arising out of or attributable to: 
 (i) any
breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Buyer in this Agreement; 
 (ii) any Specified Liability; and

  
 31 

 (iii) any breach of or failure by Buyer or the Company to perform, or cause
to be performed, any of the covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 5.2(b)(i): 

(x) with respect to any given claim for Losses, unless such claim is individually (or when aggregated with claims arising out of the same or
similar facts and circumstances) in excess of the Individual Basket Amount (it being understood that the Seller Indemnified Parties may recover for the full amount of such Losses (and not just the excess) once the claim exceeds such Individual
Basket Amount); 
 (y) until the aggregate Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties that individually exceed the Individual Basket Amount
exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to the Deductible, whereupon the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for the aggregate Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties that individually exceed the Individual Basket Amount
that are in excess of the Deductible; and 
 (z) in a cumulative aggregate amount (taking into account all amounts paid by the Buyer
pursuant to Section 5.2(b)(i) hereunder) exceeding $8,625,000; 
 provided that solely with respect to Losses relating to
any breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation, clauses (x) and (y) above shall not apply and clause (z) above shall be deemed (solely as it applies to the Fundamental Representations) to include the Seller Cash Contribution in
lieu of “$8,625,000”. 
 (c) Exclusive Remedy. Other than with respect to breaches of covenants contained in this Agreement
(for which the remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is available) or Fraud, indemnification pursuant to this Article V shall be the sole and exclusive remedy from and after the Closing with respect to any matter arising under
this Agreement of any kind or nature, including for any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant, or other provision contained in this Agreement, and the Parties hereto hereby waive and release any other rights, remedies, causes of
action, or claims that either of them have or that may arise against any other Party with respect thereto. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates may not assert any Claim against any Person or
any Representative of such Person other than MSA Jacksonville (other than Seller solely to the extent set forth in Section 5.5) with respect to a Claim for indemnification under Article V of this Agreement. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to any indemnification arising out of
any Losses (i) for any Taxes arising in any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date attributable to a claim pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(i) for a breach of the representations in
Section 2.13 other than the representations in Section 2.13(e), Section 2.13(i), Section 2.13(j), Section 2.13(k),
Section 2.13(l), Section 2.13(m), Section 2.13(n), Section 2.13(p), Section 2.13(q) or
Section 2.13(r), (ii) for Taxes arising from actions of Buyer or its Affiliates on the Closing Date after the Closing outside the ordinary course of business, (iii) as a result of any election under

  
 32 

 
Section 338 or 336(e) of the Code (or any similar election under state or local Tax law) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iv) for any Taxes that are
due to the unavailability in any Tax period (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date of any net operating losses, credits or other Tax attributes, except to the extent arising from a breach of Section 2.13(i),
Section 2.13(l), Section 2.13(m), Section 2.13(n), Section 4.5(f) or Section 4.5(i). 

(e) No Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover more than once in respect of the same Loss
(notwithstanding that such Loss may be subject to indemnification under multiple provisions of this Article V). Buyer agrees to the extent any Seller Indemnified Party has a right to recovery under this Article V, Seller has the right,
on behalf of such Seller Indemnified Party, to recover from Buyer and the Company (including whether or not a Claim has been asserted by a third party against Seller, such Seller Indemnified Party, Buyer or the Company). 

Section 5.3 Procedure for Indemnification for Breach of Representations and Warranties. 

(a) Any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Party”) seeking indemnification under
Section 5.2(a)(i) or Section 5.2(b)(i) (except indemnification claims with respect to Section 5.2(a)(i) which arise under Section 2.13 or
Section 5.2(a)(iv), both of which shall be governed by Section 4.5(f)) shall, in the case of a Buyer Indemnified Party, promptly notify in writing MSA Jacksonville and, in the case of a Seller
Indemnified Party, promptly notify in writing Buyer or the Company, as applicable (any such notice, a “Notice of Claim”); provided, however, that no delay on the part of any Indemnified Party in providing such notice
shall adversely affect the rights of the Indemnified Party under Section 5.2 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party (as defined below) is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. The Notice of Claim
shall set forth in reasonable detail (i) the date and nature and basis of such claim and (ii) a good faith estimate of the amount of such claim (if known and quantifiable). The Indemnified Party shall provide any information reasonably
requested by MSA Jacksonville, Buyer or the Company, as the case may be, in relation to such claim. 
 (b) If a claim for indemnification is
with respect to a Claim under Section 5.2(a) or 5.2(b) by a third-party against an Indemnified Party, (i) MSA Jacksonville, in the case of a claim by a Buyer Indemnified Party and (ii) Buyer or the Company,
in the case of a claim by a Seller Indemnified Party (MSA Jacksonville, Buyer or the Company, as applicable, the “Indemnifying Party”), shall be entitled (but not obligated) to defend the Indemnified Party against such Claim with
counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (subject to the reasonable approval of the Indemnified Party) at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement with respect to such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that such consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required if the judgment or proposed
settlement (i) releases the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liability or obligation in connection with such Claim, (ii) does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates but
involves solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be fully indemnified and (iii) does not involve a finding or admission of any violation of applicable Law or other wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or its
Affiliates or of the rights of any Person by the Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects 

  
 33 

 
to assume the defense of such a Claim, (x) the Indemnifying Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts in the defense or settlement of such Claim; (y) the Indemnified Party shall,
at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors in such defense, and (z) the Indemnifying Party shall allow the Indemnified Party a
reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Claim with its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the Indemnified Party’s expense; provided that, in the event representation of both the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel (that was engaged by the Indemnifying Party) would represent a conflict of interest for such counsel under applicable standards of professional conduct for attorneys, the Indemnifying
Party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any claim or demand for which it is seeking indemnification from the
Indemnifying Party or admit to any liability (or to actions or omissions which could reasonably be expected to result in such liability) with respect to such claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). 
 Section 5.4 Procedure for Indemnification for Breach of Company and
Buyer Indemnity. Any indemnification Claims under Section 5.2(b)(ii) shall be governed by reference to, and subject to the terms of, Section 4.6 of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict
between the procedures set forth in this Article V and Section 4.6, the procedures set forth in Section 4.6 shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 5.3, the cooperation of any Indemnified Party in respect of a Specified Liability, including in respect of any Disputed Claim, shall be governed solely under, and subject to the terms of, the Transition Services
Agreement and the limited services described therein, and, immediately upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Transition Services Agreement, such cooperation shall no longer be required directly or indirectly of Seller or any of its
Affiliates. 
 Section 5.5 Limited Guaranty. Seller hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Buyer, on a
subordinated basis, secondary to MSA Jacksonville and not as a primary obligor, the due and punctual performance of the obligations of MSA Jacksonville under Article V of this Agreement for a period of six (6) years following the Closing
Date (the “Limited Guaranty”). In no event shall Seller be obligated to make payments to any Buyer Indemnified Party with respect to the Limited Guaranty that in the aggregate exceed an amount equal to the product of two
(2) times the Buyer Contribution Amount, it being understood that this Limited Guaranty may not be enforced against Seller with respect to any amount in excess thereof. Buyer and the Company hereby agree that in no event shall Seller be
required to pay any amounts to any Buyer Indemnified Party under, with respect to, or in connection with the Limited Guaranty other than as expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Buyer and the Company
hereby agree that Seller may assert, as a defense to any payment by Seller under this Section 5.5, any claim, set-off, deduction or defense that MSA Jacksonville could assert against
Buyer or the Company under the terms of this Agreement or that could otherwise be asserted by MSA Jacksonville against Buyer or the Company in any Action by Buyer or the Company against MSA Jacksonville.

Section 6.5 Entire Agreement; Disclosure Schedules. 

(a) This Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules, Exhibits, the Transaction Documents and the
Non-Disclosure Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the Disclosure Schedules, Exhibits, the Transaction Documents and the Non-Disclosure Agreement (other than an
exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control. 
 (b) The
Disclosure Schedules constitute an integral part of this Agreement as if fully rewritten herein and shall be considered incorporated herein. The information and disclosures set forth on any particular section of the Disclosure Schedules shall be
deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference with respect to all other sections of the Disclosure Schedules to the extent that the applicability of such information and disclosures to such other sections of the Disclosure Schedules is
reasonably apparent on the face of such information or disclosures. The inclusion of any information or disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed an admission that such information or disclosure is material for the purposes of this
Agreement. The inclusion of any information or disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any contract or Law will not be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or
has actually occurred. Unless the Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in any section of the
Disclosure Schedules is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any
dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in any section of the Disclosure Schedules is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement. The
inclusion of any item in the Disclosure Schedules is not intended to imply that the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed and no Party shall use the fact of the inclusion of any item in the Disclosure Schedules
in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described or included in the Disclosure Schedules is or is not required to be disclosed for purposes of this Agreement. Matters reflected in any
section of the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by the Agreement to be so reflected. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar
nature. 

  
 36 

 
The headings contained in the Disclosure Schedules are for convenience of reference only, do not themselves form a part of the Disclosure Schedules and shall not affect the meaning or
interpretation of any of the disclosures set forth in the Disclosure Schedules. The attachments to the Disclosure Schedules form an integral part of the Disclosure Schedules and are incorporated by reference for all purposes as if set forth fully
therein. 
 Section 6.6 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights (including the right to
rely upon the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein), benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities upon any Person other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) the provisions
of Section 4.4 shall be enforceable by each Company Indemnified Party and his or her heirs, executors or administrators and Representatives and (b) the provisions of Article V shall be enforceable by each Seller
Indemnified Party and Buyer Indemnified Party (as applicable) and his, her or its heirs, executors or administrators and Representatives. 

Section 6.7 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction (or part thereof) of this Agreement is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby, taken as a whole, are not affected in a manner materially adverse to any Party hereto. 

Section 6.8 Assignment; Successors. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be
assigned by any of the Parties in whole or in part (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided that Seller
shall be permitted to assign this Agreement to any Person acquiring all or substantially all of its assets; provided further that no assignment shall limit or reduce the assignor’s obligations hereunder; and provided
further that any direct or indirect merger, change of control, equity sale or issuance or other reorganization of Seller shall not constitute an assignment hereunder. 

Section 6.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware
without regard to principles of conflicts of Law that would require or permit the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction, except where the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware would refer to the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania with respect to the Company’s or the Seller’s limited liability company power, authority, authorization or Constituent Documents. 

Section 6.10 Exclusive Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties (a) consents to submit itself, and hereby submits itself, to the
personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in the City of Wilmington, or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, any court of the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction, in the event any
dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction and agrees not to plead or claim any objection to the laying of
venue in any such court or that any judicial proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this 

  
 37 

 
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in the City of Wilmington, or, if such court does not
have subject matter jurisdiction, any court of the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction, and (d) consents to service of process being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 6.4. 

Section 6.11 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any
adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in the City of Wilmington or, if such court does not
have subject matter jurisdiction, any court of the State of Delaware, without proof of actual damages or otherwise (and, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in
connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. 

Section 6.12 Legal Representation. 

(a) Sidley Austin LLP (“Sidley”) has acted as counsel for Seller, the Company and their Affiliates (prior to and including
the Closing) (collectively, the “Company Parties”) in connection with the other Transaction Documents and the Transactions, including but not limited to the Division (the “Acquisition Engagement”) and, in that
connection, not as counsel for any other Person, including Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries following the Closing). Only the Company Parties shall be considered clients of Sidley in the Acquisition
Engagement. If Seller so desires, Sidley shall be permitted, without the need for any future waiver or consent, to represent any of the Company Parties (other than the Company) after the Closing in connection with any matter related to the matters
contemplated by any of the other Transaction Documents or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto and may in connection therewith represent the Representatives or Affiliates of Seller in any of the foregoing cases, including in any action,
dispute, litigation or other adversary proceeding against, with or involving Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries following the Closing or any of their Representatives or Affiliates. 

(b) To the extent that communications between, among, or involving Seller, the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates, Sidley or
any other lawyer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in-house counsel for the Seller, its Affiliates, and, prior to the Closing, the Company and its Affiliates) relate to the Acquisition Engagement (in the
case of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to Closing), such communication and any files or work product shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Seller (the “Privileged Communications and
Materials”). Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates, including the Company following the Closing, shall access any such Privileged Communications and Materials. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and the Company each
acknowledge and agree, for itself and on behalf of their respective Affiliates, upon and after the Closing: (i) Seller shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege of the Company Parties with respect to the Privileged
Communications and Materials, and neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates, including the Company 

  
 38

Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents: (i) references to the plural include the singular, the plural, the part and the whole and the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be
followed by the phrase “without limitation”; (ii) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereto” and similar terms in this Agreement or any other Loan Document refer to this Agreement or

1.3 Accounting Principles; Financial Terms. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all computations and determinations as to accounting or financial matters
and all financial statements to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP (including principles of consolidation where appropriate), and all accounting or financial terms shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms by GAAP; provided, however, that all accounting terms used in Section 7.2 [Negative Covenants] (and all defined terms used in the definition of any accounting term used in
Section 7.2 [Negative Covenants]) shall have the meaning given to such terms (and defined terms) under GAAP as in effect on the date hereof applied on a basis consistent with those used in preparing the Statements referred
to in Section 5.1.6(i) [Historical Statements]. In the event of any change after the date hereof in GAAP, and if such change would affect the computation of any of the financial covenants set forth in
Section 7.2 [Negative Covenants], then the parties hereto agree to endeavor, in good faith, to agree upon an amendment to this Agreement that would adjust such financial covenants in a manner that would preserve the
original intent thereof, but would allow compliance therewith to be determined in accordance with the Company’s financial statements at that time, provided that, until so amended, such financial covenants shall continue to be computed in
accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph (a) above or in the definition of “Capital Leases,” only those leases that would constitute Capital Leases in
conformity with GAAP as in effect prior to giving effect to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” and ASU No. 2018-11 “Leases
(Topic 842)” shall be considered Capital Leases, and all calculations and deliverables under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made or prepared, as applicable, in accordance therewith; provided, that all financial statements
required to be provided 

  
 35 

 
hereunder shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP without giving effect to the foregoing treatment of Capital Leases. 

(b) All accounting and other financial terms used in Section 7.2 [Negative Covenants] (and all
defined terms used in the definition of any accounting or other financial term used in Section 7.2 [Negative Covenants]) shall, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, be deemed to refer to the
consolidated accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, after giving effect to appropriate reconciliations reflecting the adjustments necessary (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) to eliminate the
accounts of the MSACL Company Group. 
 1.4 Currency Calculations. 

All financial statements and Compliance Certificates shall be set forth in Dollars. For purposes of preparing the financial
statements, calculating financial covenants and determining compliance with covenants expressed in Dollars, non-Dollar currencies shall be converted to Dollars on a weighted average basis in accordance with
GAAP. 
 1.5 Reserved. 

1.6 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under
Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to
have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity
Interest at such time. 
 1.7 Term SOFR Notification. Section 3.4.4 [Benchmark Replacement
Setting] of this Agreement provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest in the event that the Term SOFR Rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any
responsibility for and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the Term SOFR Rate or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor. 

 

	2	 DELAYED DRAW TERM LOAN FACILITY. 

2.1 Term Loan Commitments. 

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender
severally agrees to make a single delayed draw term loan denominated in Dollars (the “Term Loans”) to the Borrower during the Term Loan Commitment Period (as defined below) in such principal amount as the Borrower shall request up
to, but not exceeding such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, and in the aggregate amount for all such Term Loans from the Lenders up to, but not exceeding, $250,000,000. The Term Loans shall be available in a single advance (such advance, the
“Term Loan Advance”) on or after the date hereof until and through May 5, 2023 (the “Term Loan Commitment Period”). The Term Loan Commitments shall expire upon the earlier to occur of (i) the making of the
Term Loan Advance 

  
 36 

 
and (ii) the last day of the Term Loan Commitment Period (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) (such earlier date, the “Commitment Expiry
Date”). 
 2.2 Loan Requests. 

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may (a) during the Term Loan Commitment Period request the Term Loan
Lenders to make the single Term Loan Advance and (b) from time to time after the making of the Term Loan Advance, if applicable, convert or renew any portion of the Term Loans bearing interest at a certain Interest Rate Option to another
Interest Rate Option, in each case by delivery to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of Term Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies or
the conversion to or the renewal of the Term SOFR Rate Option for any Term Loans, and (ii) on the same Business Day of the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of a Term Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies or the last day
of the preceding Interest Period with respect to the conversion to the Base Rate Option for any Term Loan, of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2 or a request by telephone immediately
confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or other electronic communication in such form (each, a “Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a
telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the proposed Borrowing Date, (B) the aggregate amount of the proposed Loans comprising each
Borrowing Tranche, which amount shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000.00 and not less than $5,000,000.00 for each Borrowing Tranche under the Term SOFR Rate Option, and in integral multiples of $500,000.00 and not less than the lesser of
$1,000,000.00 or the maximum amount available for each Borrowing Tranche under the Base Rate Option, (C) whether the Term SOFR Rate Option or Base Rate Option shall apply to the proposed Loans comprising the applicable Borrowing Tranche and
(D) in the case of a Borrowing Tranche to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies, an appropriate Interest Period for the Loans comprising such Borrowing Tranche. 

2.3 Commitment Fees. 

Accruing from the date hereof until and including the Commitment Expiry Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender, according to its Ratable Share, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of three hundred
sixty five (365) or three hundred sixty six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) multiplied by the daily balance of the aggregate amount of the Term Loan Commitments; provided, however, that any Commitment
Fee accrued with respect to the Term Loan Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a
Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and, provided, further, that no Commitment Fee shall accrue with respect to the Term Loan Commitment
of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Subject to the proviso in the directly preceding sentence, all Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date in Dollars. 

  
 37 

 2.4 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to
Term Loans; Nature of Term Loan Commitments. 
 The obligations of each Lender to make its Term Loan to the Borrower
shall be in the proportion that such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment bears to the aggregate Term Loan Commitments of all Lenders, but each Lender’s Term Loan to the Borrower shall not exceed its individual Term Loan Commitment. The failure
of any Lender to make its Term Loan to the Borrower shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make the Term Loan nor shall it impose any additional liability on any other Lender hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make
Term Loans hereunder after the Commitment Expiry Date. The Term Loan Commitments are not revolving credit commitments, and the Borrower shall not have the right to borrow, repay and reborrow under Section 2.1 [Term Loan
Commitments]. 
 2.5 Making Term Loans; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent; Amortization and Repayment of Term
Loans. 
 2.5.1 Making Term Loans. 

The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt by it of a Loan Request pursuant to
Section 2.2 [Loan Requests], notify the Lenders of its receipt of such Loan Request specifying the information provided by the Borrower, and the apportionment among the Lenders of the requested Loans as determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.4 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Term Loans, Etc.]. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of the Term Loan in Dollars to the Administrative
Agent such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 6 [Conditions of Lending], fund
the Term Loans to the Borrower in Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m., on the Borrowing Date; provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the Administrative Agent in a timely
manner, the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds, the Term Loan of such Lender on such Borrowing Date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in
Section 2.5.2 [Presumptions by the Administrative Agent]. 
 2.5.2 Presumptions by the
Administrative Agent. 
 Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed
Borrowing Date of the Term Loans that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of the Term Loans, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with Section 2.5.1 [Making Term Loans] and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Term Loan
available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking 

  
 38 

 
industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option. If such Lender pays
its share of the Term Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have
failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 2.5.3 Amortization and Repayment of Term Loans. 

Quarterly amortization of the Term Loan shall commence on the first Payment Date occurring after the first full quarter that
follows the end of the Term Loan Commitment Period, and shall continue on each Payment Date thereafter until the Maturity Date. Each such quarterly amortization payment shall equal 2.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Advance,
with the remaining principal balance of the Term Loans due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. 
 2.6 Notes.

 The Obligation of the Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan made to it by each Lender,
together with interest thereon, shall, at the option of such Lender, be evidenced by a term Note dated the Closing Date payable to such Lender and its registered assigns in a face amount equal to the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender. 

2.7 Use of Proceeds. 

The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used to [(a)] repay a portion of the borrowings made under the Existing PNC
Credit Agreement, which borrowings were made to fund (i) a capital contribution to MSACL, in an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets and liabilities of MSACL allocated to MSA Newco in connection with the Division and the Merger,
and (ii) a capital contribution to MSACL in preparation for the Equity Sale [and (b) pay fees and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby]. 

2.8 Reserved. 

2.9 Defaulting Lenders. 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following
provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (i) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded
portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3 [Commitment Fees]; and 

(ii) the Commitment and outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required
Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers]); provided, that this
clause (ii) 

  
 39 

 
shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby. 

2.10 Reserved. 

2.11 Designated Lenders. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender at its option may make its
Term Loan or otherwise perform its obligations hereunder through any Lending Office (each, a “Designated Lender”); provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Term
Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any Designated Lender shall be considered a Lender; provided that in the case of an Affiliate or branch of a Lender, all provisions applicable to a Lender shall apply to such Affiliate or
branch of such Lender to the same extent as such Lender. For purposes of this Section 2.11, “Lending Office” shall mean, as to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the office or offices of such Person
described as such in such Person’s administrative questionnaire, or such other office or offices as such Person may from time to time notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; which office may include any Affiliate of such Person or any
domestic or foreign branch of such Person or such Affiliate. 
  

	3	 INTEREST RATES 

3.1 Interest Rate Options. 

The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the
Base Rate Option or Term SOFR Rate Option specified below applicable to the Terms Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to
apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that there
shall not be at any one time outstanding more than five (5) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans (including a Borrowing Tranche to which the Base Rate Option applies); and provided further that if an Event of
Default or Potential Default exists and is continuing, the Borrower may not request, convert to, or renew the Term SOFR Rate Option for any Loans and the Required Lenders may demand that all existing Borrowing Tranches bearing interest under the
Term SOFR Rate Option shall be converted immediately to the Base Rate Option, subject to the obligation of the Borrower to pay any indemnity under Section 4.10 [Indemnity] in connection with such conversion. If at any time
the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate. Notwithstanding any provisions
to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Borrower shall not be required to pay, and the Lenders shall not be permitted to collect, any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by
applicable Law (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, then, in such event:
(1) the provisions of this subsection shall govern 

  
 40 

 
and control; (2) the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that the Lenders may have received hereunder shall be, at the option of the
Required Lenders, (a) applied as a credit against the outstanding principal balance of the Obligations or accrued and unpaid interest (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by Law), (b) refunded to the payor thereof, or (c) any
combination of the foregoing; (4) the interest rates provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under applicable Law, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed
to have been and shall be reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) the Borrower shall have no action against the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest
(other than to enforce this Section 3.1 [Interest Rate Options]). 
 3.1.1 Interest Rate
Options. 
 The Borrower shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the
Loans: 
 (i) Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum applicable to Loans (computed on the basis of a year of
three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change
automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or 
 (ii) Term SOFR
Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate as determined for each applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

 3.1.2 Conforming Changes Relating to Term SOFR Rate. 

With respect to the Term SOFR Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time
and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document; provided that, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective. 

3.1.3 Rate Quotations. 

The Borrower may call the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an
indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.

 3.2 Interest Periods. 

At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a Term SOFR Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent thereof at least three (3) Business Days 

  
 41 

 
prior to the effective date of such Term SOFR Rate Option by delivering a Loan Request. The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to a Term SOFR Rate Option: 

3.2.1 Amount of Borrowing Tranche. 

Each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Term SOFR Rate Option shall be in integral multiples of, and not less than, the
respective amounts specified in Section 2.2 [Loan Requests]; and 
 3.2.2 Renewals. 

In the case of the renewal of a Term SOFR Rate Option at the end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest
Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day. 

3.3 Interest After Default. 

To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have
been cured or waived, and at the discretion of the Administrative Agent or upon written demand by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent: 

3.3.1 Interest Rate. 

The rate of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 3.1 [Interest Rate
Options] shall be increased by two percent (2.00%) per annum; 
 3.3.2 Reserved. 

3.3.3 Other Obligations. 

Each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of
interest applicable under the Base Rate Option plus an additional two percent (2.00%) per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is Paid in Full; and 

3.3.4 Acknowledgment. 

The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 3.3 [Interest After
Default] reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest
shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by Administrative Agent. 

  
 42 

 3.4 Term SOFR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs;
Deposits Not Available. 
 3.4.1 Unascertainable; Increased Costs. 

If, on or prior to the first day of an Interest Period: 

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error)
that (x) the Term SOFR Rate cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or (y) a fundamental change has occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Rate (including, without limitation, changes in national or international
financial, political or economic conditions), or 
 (ii) any Lender determines that for any reason in connection with any
request for a Term SOFR Rate Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that the Term SOFR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of funding, establishing or maintaining such Loan, and such Lender has provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, 

then, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in
Section 3.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights]. 
 3.4.2 Illegality.

 If at any time any Lender shall have determined, or any Official Body shall have asserted, that the making, maintenance
or funding of any Term SOFR Rate Loan, or the determination or charging of interest rates based on the Term SOFR Rate, has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or
application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4.3
[Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] 
 3.4.3 Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights.

 In the case of any event specified in Section 3.4.1 [Unascertainable; Increased Costs] above,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 3.4.2 [Illegality] above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative
Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrower. Upon such date as
shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (i) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (ii) such Lender, in the case of such
notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Rate Loan or Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent shall have later
notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to

  
 43 

 
such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 3.4.1 [Unascertainable; Increased Costs] and the
Borrower has previously notified the Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Term SOFR Rate Option and the Term SOFR Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection
of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans. If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 3.4.2 [Illegality], the Borrower shall,
subject to the Borrower’ indemnification Obligations under Section 4.10 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Lender to which a Term SOFR Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan
to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 4.6 [Voluntary Prepayments]. Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan
shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified date. 

3.4.4 Benchmark Replacement Setting. 

3.4.4.1 Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any
agreement executed in connection with an Interest Rate Hedge shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such
Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further
action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark
Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the
date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by
such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. 

3.4.4.2 Reserved. 

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

3.4.4.4 Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower
and the Lenders of (A) the 

  
 44 

 
implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark
Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.4.4.5 [Unavailability of Tenor or Benchmark] and (y) the
commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with
respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive
and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section. 

3.4.4.5 Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan
Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information
service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of
information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings
at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or
information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the
Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. 

3.4.4.6 Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark
Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Loan bearing interest based on the Term SOFR Rate, conversion to or continuation of Loans bearing interest based on the Term SOFR Rate to be made, converted or continued during
any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of, or conversion to, Loans bearing interest under the Base Rate Option. During a Benchmark
Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any
determination of the Base Rate. 
 3.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options. 

If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Term SOFR Rate
Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 [Interest Periods], the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing
Tranche to the Base 

  
 45 

 
Rate Option commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period. If the Borrower provides any Loan Request related to a Loan at the Term SOFR Rate Option but fails to identify an
Interest Period therefor, such Loan Request shall be deemed to request an Interest Period of one (1) month. Any Loan Request that fails to select an Interest Rate Option shall be deemed to be a request for the Base Rate Option. 

3.6 Sustainability Adjustments. 

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge that the Sustainability Targets have not been determined and agreed as of the date of this
Agreement and that Schedule 3.6 therefore has been intentionally left blank. The Borrower may, at any time following the Closing Date, submit a request in writing to the Administrative Agent that this Agreement be amended to include the
Sustainability Targets and other related provisions (including without limitation those provisions described in this Section 3.6), to be mutually agreed among the parties hereto in accordance with this
Section 3.6 and Section 10.1 (such amendment, the “ESG Amendment”). Such request shall be accompanied by the proposed Sustainability Targets as prepared by the Borrower in
consultation with the Sustainability Structuring Agent and devised with assistance from the Sustainability Assurance Provider (defined below), which shall be included as Schedule 3.6 (the “Sustainability Table”). The proposed
ESG Amendment shall also include the ESG Pricing Provisions (defined below) and identify a sustainability assurance provider, provided that any such sustainability assurance provider shall be a qualified external reviewer, independent of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, with relevant expertise, such as an auditor, environmental consultant and/or independent ratings agency of recognized national standing (the “Sustainability Assurance Provider”). 

(b) If requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Borrower shall in good
faith enter into discussions to reach an agreement in respect of the proposed Sustainability Targets and Sustainability Assurance Provider, and any proposed incentives and penalties for compliance and noncompliance, respectively, with the
Sustainability Targets, including any adjustments to the Applicable Margin and/or Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (such provisions, collectively, the “ESG Pricing Provisions”); provided that the amount of any such adjustments
made pursuant to an ESG Amendment shall not result in a decrease or an increase of more than (a) 0.01% per annum in the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and/or (b) 0.05% per annum in the Applicable Margin for any Interest Rate Option during any
calendar year, which pricing adjustments shall be applied in accordance with the terms as further described in the ESG Pricing Provisions; provided further that (i) in no event shall the Applicable Margin or the Applicable Commitment Fee
Rate be less than 0.00% at any time and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, such pricing adjustments shall not be cumulative year-over-year, and each applicable adjustment shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take
place. The Borrower agrees and confirms that the ESG Pricing Provisions shall follow the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles, as published in May 2021, and as may be updated, revised or amended from time to time by the Loan Market Association and
the Loan Syndications & Trading Association (the “SLL Principles”). 
 (c) An ESG Amendment
(including the ESG Pricing Provisions) will become effective on or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders, without any

  
 46 

 
amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of
objection to such ESG Amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. In the event that the Lenders comprising the Required Lenders deliver a written notice objecting to any such ESG Amendment, an alternative ESG Amendment may be implemented
with the consent of the Lenders comprising the Required Lenders and the Borrower. 
 (d) Following the effectiveness of the
ESG Amendment, any amendment or other modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions which does not have the effect of reducing the Applicable Margin or the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate to a level not otherwise permitted by this
Section 3.6 shall be subject only to the consent of the Required Lenders. 
 4 PAYMENTS 

4.1 Payments. 

All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Administrative Agent’s Fee or
other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the ratable accounts of
the Lenders with respect to the Term Loans in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Lenders, as applicable, in immediately available funds; provided that in the event payments are
received by 11:00 a.m. by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Term Loans and such payments are not distributed to the Lenders on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Lenders interest at
the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of account, ledger or
other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement and shall be deemed an “account stated”. All
payments of principal and interest made in respect of the Loans must be repaid in Dollars. 
 4.2 Pro Rata Treatment of
Lenders. 
 The borrowing of Term Loans, if applicable, shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share,
and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal, interest and Commitment Fees (but excluding the Administrative Agent’s Fee) shall (except as
otherwise may be provided with respect to a Defaulting Lender and except as provided in Section 3.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the case of an event specified in
Section 3.4 [Term SOFR Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], Section 4.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] or Section 4.8 [Increased Costs]) be payable ratably among the Lenders entitled to
such payment in accordance with the amount of principal, interest and Commitment Fees, as specified in this Agreement. 

  
 47 

 4.3 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. 

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment,
by realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s
receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than the pro-rata share of the amount such Lender is entitled thereto, then
the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other
adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them,
provided that: 
 (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making
such purchase; and 
 (ii) the provisions of this Section 4.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders]
shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale
of a participation in any of its Loans or Participation Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 4.3 [Sharing of Payments by
Lenders] shall apply). 
 Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law,
that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan
Party in the amount of such participation. 
 4.4 Presumptions by Administrative Agent. 

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed
to such 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, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

  
 48 

 4.5 Interest Payment Dates. 

Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date. Interest on
Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) months, also on the
90th day of such Interest Period. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary
Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise). 
 4.6 Voluntary
Prepayments. 
 4.6.1 Right to Prepay. 

The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or
penalty (except as provided in Section 4.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] below or in Section 4.8 [Increased Costs] and Section 4.10 [Indemnity]. Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, the
Borrower shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Loans, setting forth the following information: 

(w) the Borrower making the prepayment; 

(x) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made; 

(y) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies and Loans to
which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies; and 
 (z) the total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall be in
integral multiples of $1,000,000.00 and not less than $5,000,000.00 for each Borrowing Tranche to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies and in integral multiples of $1,000,000.00 and not less than the lesser of $5,000,000.00 or the outstanding
principal amount of Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies . 
 All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The
principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount except with respect to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such
prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. All prepayments permitted pursuant to this Section 4.6.1 shall be applied to the unpaid installments of principal of the Term Loans in the
inverse order of maturities. Except as provided in Section 3.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], if the Borrower prepays a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the
prepayment shall be applied first to Term Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Term Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the
Lenders under Section 4.10 [Indemnity]. 

  
 49 

 4.6.2 Replacement of a Lender. 

In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under Section 3.4 [Term SOFR Rate Unascertainable,
Etc.], (ii) requests compensation under Section 4.8 [Increased Costs], or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 4.9 [Taxes], (iii) is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), or (v) is a
Non-Consenting Lender referred to in Section 10.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] then in any such event the Borrower may, at its sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and
the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.8 [Successors and Assigns]), all
of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in
Section 10.8 [Successors and Assigns]; 
 (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an
amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Participation Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Section 4.10 [Indemnity]) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.8.1
[Increased Costs Generally] or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.9 [Taxes], such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law. 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 4.6.3
Designation of a Different Lending Office. 
 If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 4.8 [Increased Costs], or the Borrower is or will be required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 4.9 [Taxes], then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.8
[Increased Costs] or Section 4.9 [Taxes], as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not

  
 50 

 
otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment. 
 4.7 Reserved. 

4.8 Increased Costs. 

4.8.1 Increased Costs Generally. 

If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Term SOFR Rate); 

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses
(ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital
attributable thereto; or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the Relevant Interbank Market or other applicable offshore market
any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any participation therein; 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to,
continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount)
then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 4.8.2 Capital Requirements. 

If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such
Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration
such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

  
 51 

 4.8.3 Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of Outstanding Loans;
Borrowing of New Loans. 
 Each Recipient agrees that any claim made for amounts payable under this
Section 4.8 [Increased Costs] shall be determined by such Recipient in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis). A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 4.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or 4.8.2 [Capital Requirements] and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. 
 4.8.4 Delay
in Requests. 
 Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 4.8 [Increased Costs] shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section 4.8 [Increased Costs] for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to
above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 4.9 Taxes. 

4.9.1 Defined Terms and Application. 

For purposes of this Section 4.9 [Taxes], the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA. 

4.9.2 Payments Free of Taxes. 

Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be without deduction
or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a
Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law and, if such
Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 4.9 [Taxes]) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

  
 52 

 4.9.3 Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. 

The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the
Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 
 4.9.4 Indemnification by the Loan
Parties. 
 The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within thirty (30) days after
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.9 [Taxes]) payable or paid by such Recipient or
required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official
Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 4.9.5 Indemnification by the Lenders. 

Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for
(i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any of the Loan Parties to
do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.8.4 [Participations] relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes
attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative
Agent under this Section 4.9.5 [Indemnification by the Lenders]. 
 4.9.6 Evidence of
Payments. 
 As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to an Official Body pursuant to this
Section 4.9 [Taxes], such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment
or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 4.9.7 Status of Lenders.

 (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under
any Loan Document shall 

  
 53 

 
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject
to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 4.9.7(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower, 
 (A) any Lender that is a
U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the
benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or appropriate successor form), establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest”
article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form
W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or appropriate successor form), establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business
profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (ii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; 
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 4.9.7(A) to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign

  
 54 

 
corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form
W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or appropriate successor form); or 

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form
W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or appropriate successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 4.9.7(B) or Exhibit 4.9.7(C), IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are
claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 4.9.7(D) on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if
such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code)
and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has
complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or
inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

4.9.8 Treatment of Certain Refunds. 

If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.9 [Taxes] (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.9 [Taxes]), it

  
 55 

 
shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 4.9 [Taxes] with respect to the
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by
the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 4.9.8
[Treatment of Certain Refunds] (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 4.9.8 [Treatment of Certain Refunds]), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 4.9.8
[Treatment of Certain Refunds] the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to
indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require
any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

4.9.9 Survival. 

Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.9 [Taxes] shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations. 

4.10 Indemnity. 

In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 4.8 [Increased Costs] or

the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract) which such Lender sustains or
incurs as a consequence of any: 
 (i) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which a Term SOFR Rate
Option applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due), 

(ii) attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan
Requests under Section 2.2 [Loan Requests] or Section 3.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under Section 4.6 [Voluntary Prepayments], or

If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount
determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such
loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender thirty (30) days after such notice is given.

under the terms thereof, any funding agreements and all applicable Laws (including any fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations) except to the extent as, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Change. All employer and employee payments, contributions or premiums to be remitted, paid to or in respect of each Foreign Plan have been paid in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms thereof, any funding
agreement and all applicable Laws except to the extent the failure to do so, either individually or in the agreement, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change. There are no outstanding actions or suits concerning the assets

7.1.11 Most Favored Lender. 

(i) If at any time after the Closing Date the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement, the Existing PNC Credit Agreement or any other
agreement evidencing any Material Indebtedness shall include any financial covenant, undertaking, restriction, event of default or other provision (or any thereof shall be amended or otherwise modified) that provides for limitations on or measures
of indebtedness, interest expense, fixed charges, net worth, stockholders’ equity or total assets, changes in control of the Company or transfers of interests in assets of the Company or any Subsidiary (however expressed and whether stated as a
ratio, as a fixed threshold, as an event of default or otherwise) and such covenant, undertaking, restriction, event of default or provision is not contained in this Agreement or would be more beneficial to the Lenders than any analogous covenant,
undertaking, restriction, event of default or provision contained in this Agreement (any such covenant, undertaking, restriction, event of default or provision, an “Additional Covenant”), then the Borrower shall provide a
Most Favored Lender Notice to the Administrative Agent. Thereupon, unless waived in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice, such Additional Covenant (including any associated cure period) shall
be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth fully herein, without any further action required on the part of any Person, effective as of the date when such Additional Covenant became
effective under the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement, the Existing PNC Credit Agreement or such other agreement evidencing any Material Indebtedness, as applicable. Thereafter, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall enter into
any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent evidencing any of the foregoing. 

(ii) Any Additional Covenant (including any associated cure period) incorporated into this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 7.1.11 [Most Favored Lender] (herein referred to as an “Incorporated Covenant”) (i) shall be deemed automatically amended herein to reflect any subsequent amendments made to such Additional Covenant
(including any associated cure period) under the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement, the Existing PNC Credit Agreement or such other agreement evidencing any Material Indebtedness, as applicable; provided that if any Potential Default or an Event of
Default then exists (including in respect of such Incorporated Covenant) and the amendment of such Additional Covenant would result in such Additional Covenant being less restrictive on the Borrower, such Incorporated Covenant shall only be deemed
automatically amended at such time as no Potential Default or Event of Default then exists) and (ii) shall be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time as such Additional Covenant is deleted or otherwise removed from the
2010 Note Purchase Agreement, the Existing PNC Credit Agreement or such other agreement evidencing any Material 

  
 68 

 
Indebtedness, as applicable, or the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement, the Existing PNC Credit Agreement or such other agreement evidencing any Material Indebtedness, as applicable, shall have been
terminated, all commitments thereunder cancelled and all liabilities existing thereunder paid in full (other than unasserted contingent liabilities and obligations); provided that, if a Potential Default or an Event of Default then exists (including
in respect of such Incorporated Covenant), such Incorporated Covenant shall only be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time as no Potential Default or Event of Default then exists. Upon the request of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall (at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense) enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement requested by the Borrower evidencing the amendment or deletion of any such Incorporated
Covenant in accordance with the terms hereof. If any Person party to the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement, the Existing PNC Credit Agreement or such other agreement evidencing any Material Indebtedness receives any remuneration, fee or other
compensation as consideration for any amendment, waiver, modification, deletion or termination of any Additional Covenant that constitutes an Incorporated Covenant hereunder, such amendment, waiver, modification, deletion or termination shall not
become effective under this Agreement unless the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received equivalent remuneration, fees or other compensation. 

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, all of the existing financial covenants in Section 7.2.14 [Minimum
Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio] and Section 7.2.16 [Maximum Net Leverage Ratio] as of the date of this Agreement shall remain in this Agreement regardless of whether any Additional Covenants are incorporated into this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.1.11 [Most Favored Lender], in no event shall an Incorporated Covenant amend or modify any financial covenant or other provision otherwise set forth herein
(excluding any Incorporated Covenant added by operation of this Section 7.1.11 [Most Favored Lender]) to make such provision less restrictive as to the Company or any Subsidiary than the corresponding provision set forth in this
Agreement, as amended from time to time (without giving effect to this Section 7.1.11 [Most Favored Lender]). 

7.1.12 Certificate of Beneficial Ownership and Other Additional Information. 

Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders:
(i) notice of any change in the information provided in any Certificate of Beneficial Ownership that would result in a change to the list of beneficial owners identified in such certification (and, in such case, shall provide a new Certificate
of Beneficial Ownership reflecting such change), and (ii) such other information and documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from time to time for purposes of compliance by the Administrative Agent

 81 

 
time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate or participant to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, Affiliate or participant, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Affiliate or participant shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and
although such Obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. The rights of

paragraphs of this Section 8.2.5 [Application of Proceeds] by Lenders providing Lender Provided Interest Rate Hedges, Lender Provided Commodity Hedge or Lender Provided Foreign Currency Agreement that are the holders of any
Excluded Swap Obligations are the same as the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to other Obligations pursuant to the above paragraphs of this Section 8.2.5 [Application of Proceeds]. 

9 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

9.1 Appointment and Authority. 

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints PNC to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of
such provisions. 
 9.2 Rights as a Lender; Other Roles. 

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, the
Administrative Agent may act as the administrative agent under the Existing PNC Credit Agreement notwithstanding any potential or actual conflict of interest presented by the foregoing and each Loan Party and each Lender hereby waives any claim
against Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates based upon any conflict of interest that Administrative Agent may have with regard to acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and acting in such other role. 

  
 83 

 9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. 

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any
fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights
and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly
provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is
contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and 
 (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or
any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by
it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances
as provided in Section 10.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] and Section 8.2 [Consequences of Event of Default]) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Potential Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company or a
Lender. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or
therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 6 [Conditions of Lending] or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 9.4 Reliance by Administrative
Agent. 
 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon,
any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document 

  
 84 

 
or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise
authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In
determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other
experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

9.5 Delegation of Duties. 

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other
Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of
its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 9 [The Administrative Agent] shall apply to any such sub-agent and to
the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as
activities as Administrative Agent. 
 9.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. 

The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any
such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with approval from the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative
Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall
nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed)
and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.6 [Resignation of Administrative Agent]. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from 

  
 85 

 
all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.6 [Resignation of
Administrative Agent]). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 9 [The Administrative Agent] and Section 10.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Waiver; Limitation of Liabilities] shall continue in
effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring
Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 9.7 Non-Reliance on
Administrative Agent and Other Lenders; Acknowledgments. 
 9.7.1 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based
on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 9.7.2 Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such
Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received
by, such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise), individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such
Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand
was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to
the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and
(ii) such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or
counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to
any Lender under this Section 9.7.2 [Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders; Acknowledgments] shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

9.7.3 Without limiting Section 9.7.2 [Non-Reliance on
Administrative Agent and Other Lenders; Acknowledgments], each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives an 

  
 86 

 
Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (i) that is in an amount different than (other than a de minimis difference), or on a different date from,
that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by an
Erroneous Payment Notice, it shall be on notice that, in each such case, an error has been made with respect to such Erroneous Payment. Each Lender further agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware an Erroneous Payment (or
portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day
thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) that was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the
Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. 

9.7.4 The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agree that (i) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof)
is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (ii) an Erroneous
Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Loan Party shall have any liability for losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any such actions or inactions of any such Erroneous Payment recipient in respect of any Erroneous Payment. 

9.7.5 Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.7
[Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders; Acknowledgments] shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the
replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document. 

9.8 No Other Duties, etc. 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the lead arranger and sole bookrunner, to the extent applicable, listed on the
cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. 

9.9 Administrative Agent’s Fee. 

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent a nonrefundable fee (the “Administrative Agent’s Fee”)
under the terms of a letter (the “Administrative Agent’s Letter”) between the Company and Administrative Agent, as amended from time to time. 

9.10 Authorization to Release Guarantors. 

The Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement if
the ownership interests in such Guarantor are sold or otherwise disposed of or transferred to persons other than Loan Parties or Subsidiaries of the Loan 

  
 87 

 
Parties in a transaction permitted under Section 7.2.6 [Disposition of Assets or Subsidiaries] or Section 7.2.5 [Liquidations, Mergers,
Consolidations, Acquisitions]. 
 9.11 No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

 Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may
rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the
regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items
relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping,

Lender”), then the Borrower shall have the right to replace any such Non-Consenting Lender with one or more replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 4.6.2 [Replacement of a
Lender]. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of
all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such
Lender, and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the
consent of such Defaulting Lender. Any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such
Defaulting Lender. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Company, on behalf of the Loan Parties, and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have
received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required
Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment.

 10.2 No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. 

No course of dealing and no delay or failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy
or privilege under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other
right, power, remedy or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. 

10.3 Expenses; Indemnity; Waiver; Limitation of Liabilities. 

10.3.1 Costs and Expenses. 

The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and

execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated), (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for
the Administrative Agent or any Lender), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.3
[Expenses, Indemnity, Waiver; Limitation of Liabilities], or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such

Section 7.1.5 [Visitation Rights], all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent’s regular employees and agents

 10.3.2
Indemnification by the Borrower. 
 The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Sustainability Structuring Agent each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees
and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with,
or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance or non-performance by the parties
hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) breach of representations,
warranties or covenants 

  
 91 

 
of the Borrower under the Loan Documents, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, including any such items or
losses relating to or arising under Environmental Laws, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an
Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction or (z) result from any dispute solely among such Indemnitees that do not involve any act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and which are not claims against PNC or its
Affiliates, solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent. To the extent an Indemnitee is legally permitted to do so, such Indemnitee shall provide the Borrower with prompt notice of any such claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding. This
Section 10.3.2 [Indemnification by the Borrower] shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax
claim. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower’s indemnity and contribution obligations, as set forth in this Section, will apply in respect of any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages that may be awarded against any Indemnitee
in connection with a claim by a third party. 
 10.3.3 Reimbursement by Lenders. 

To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections 10.3.1
[Costs and Expenses] or 10.3.2 [Indemnification by the Borrower] to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of the Administrative Agent, each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Ratable Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense
or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any
such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of the Administrative Agent acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in
connection with such capacity. 
 10.3.4 Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.; Limitation of Liability. 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any
claim against the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. None of the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Lender, or any Related Party of any of the

  
 92 

 
foregoing Persons shall be liable for (a) any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) any other loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense arising out
of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof, except to the extent
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Person.

be due on the next Business Day (except as provided in Section 3.2 [Interest Periods]) and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, except that the Loans shall be due on the Business Day
preceding the Maturity Date if the Maturity Date is not a Business Day. Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder (other than payment of the Loans) shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment or
action shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall not be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment or action.

Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by
electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function,
as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication
shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the
intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any
other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each
Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders], (ii) by way of

of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

10.8.2 Assignments by Lenders. 

Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(i) Minimum Amounts. 

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the
time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 

(B) in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section 10.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders], the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the
Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000.00, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Loan Commitment of the assigning Lender, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Company otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

  
 95 

 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as
an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned. 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except for the consent of the Administrative
Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and: 
 (A) the consent of the Company (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and 

(B) reserved. 

(iv) Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00 (provided that no such fee shall be payable in connection with an assignment from a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender), and
the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire provided by the Administrative Agent. 

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (i) the Borrower or any of the
Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (ii) a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person) or (iii) a Competitor. 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.8.3 [Register], from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights
and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case
of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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
Section 3.4 [Term SOFR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], Section 4.8 [Increased Costs], and Section 10.3 [Expenses, Indemnity;
Waiver; Limitation of Liabilities] with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply
with this Section 10.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders] shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
Section 10.8.4 [Participations]. 

  
 96 

 10.8.3 Register. 

The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a record of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. Such register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be available
for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

10.8.4 Participations. 

Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Competitor or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells
such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide
that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree (other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to Section 10.1.1 [Increase of Commitment],
Section 10.1.2 [Extension of Payment, Etc.], or Section 10.1.3 [Release of Guarantor]) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 3.4 [Term SOFR Rate Unascertainable, Etc.], Section 4.8 [Increased Costs], Section 4.10 [Indemnity], Section 4.9 [Taxes]
(subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.9.7 [Status of Lenders] (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.9.7
[Status of Lenders] shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders]; provided that
such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] and Section 4.6.3 [Designation of a Different Lending Office] as if it were an assignee
under Section 10.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders]; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.8 [Increased Costs], Section 4.9 [Taxes], with respect to any
participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable
participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.6.2 [Replacement
of a Lender] and Section 4.6.3 [Designation of Different Lending Office] with respect to any 

  
 97 

 
Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.2.3
[Set-off] as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] as though it were a Lender.
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each
Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register
(including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such
disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries
in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding
any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

10.8.5 Reserved. 

10.8.6 Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally. 

Any Lender 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; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such
pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 10.9 Confidentiality. 

10.9.1 General. 

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that
Information (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the current list of Competitors) may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other
representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan

Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective 

  
 98 

 
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower, or (viii) to the extent such
Information (Y) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.9 [Confidentiality] or (Z) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or other Loan Parties. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.9 [Confidentiality] shall
be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

10.9.2 Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Lenders. 

Each Loan Party acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered
or provided to the Borrower or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each of the Loan Parties hereby authorizes each Lender to
share any information delivered to such Lender by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate subject to the provisions of Section 10.9.1 [General]. 

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 

10.10.1 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent,
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof including any prior confidentiality
agreements and commitments. Except as provided in Section 6 [Conditions Of Lending], this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall
have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or
e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like
import in or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures (as defined below), deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal
effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be. “Electronic Signatures” means any electronic symbol or process attached
to, or associated with, any contract or other record and adopted by a person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record.

10.15 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. 

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or
other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are
arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory
and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents;
(ii) (A) each of the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any
of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and no Lender has any obligation to
disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against each of the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of

 10.16 Acknowledgement
and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. 
 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to
the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities
arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the
effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

  
 102 

 (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability
into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will
be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and
Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. 
 10.17 Acknowledgment Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the
extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported
QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan
Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):  

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

(b) As used in this Section 10.17, the following terms have the following meanings:

 “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined
under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. 

  
 103 

 “Covered Entity” means any of the
following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12
C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). 

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in
accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. 
 “QFC” has
the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

 For purposes of determining the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate: 

(a) The Applicable Margin and the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate for the period commencing on the Closing Date through the day
immediately preceding the first (1st) Adjustment Date (as defined below) shall be Level V. 
 (b) The Applicable Margin and
the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be recomputed commencing as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023 and as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending thereafter based on the Net Leverage Ratio as of such quarter end.
Subject to clause (a) above and the foregoing sentence, any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin or the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate computed as of a quarter end shall be 

 

  
 SCHEDULE 1.1(A) - 1 

 
effective on the date on which the Compliance Certificate evidencing such computation is due to be delivered under Section 7.3.3 [Certificate of Company] (each, an
“Adjustment Date”). If a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with such Section 7.3.3 [Certificate of the Company], then the rates in Level VII shall apply as of the first Business
Day after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered and shall remain in effect until the date on which such Compliance Certificate is delivered. 

(c) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Company or for any other
reason, the Company or the Lenders determine that (i) the Net Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Company as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Net Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher
pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an
actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the
amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under
Section 3.3 [Interest After Default] or Article 8 [Default]. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

I. Become absolute and unconditional guarantors and sureties as though they were primary obligors to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, their respective successors, endorsees and assigns, for (i) the prompt payment and performance when due (whether at maturity, by declaration, acceleration or otherwise) of all existing and future
liabilities and obligations (including, without limitation, the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement), provided that the Obligations so guaranteed by any Guarantor shall not include Excluded Swap Obligations (as defined in the Credit

matured or unmatured, sole, joint or several, of any nature whatsoever, without regard to the validity, enforceability or regularity thereof including, without limitation, continuing interest thereon in accordance with the terms thereof and all

shall hereafter be released or discharged or is for any reason invalid or unenforceable (capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them therein unless otherwise defined in
this Agreement); and 
 II. Assent to all agreements made or to be made between the Administrative Agent or
any Lender and any other Person(s) liable, either absolutely or contingently, on any of the Debtor Liabilities, including any and all such agreements made by the Debtor and any co-maker, endorser, pledgor,
surety or guarantor (any such Person being hereinafter referred to as an “Obligor”), and further agree that the Guarantors’ liability hereunder shall not be reduced or diminished by such agreements in any way; and 

III. Consent and agree that the Guarantors’ obligations and liabilities hereunder shall in no way be
reduced, limited, waived or released if any other Person or Persons is presently or in the future becomes a surety or guarantor in regard to the Debtor Liabilities or any other liabilities among the Debtor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders;
and 
 IV. Consent that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at their option, without in any way
affecting the Guarantors’ liability hereunder: (i) exchange, surrender or release any or all collateral security or any endorsement, guaranty or surety held by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders for any of the Debtor Liabilities;
(ii) renew, extend, modify, supplement, amend, release, alter or compromise the terms of any or all of the Debtor Liabilities; and (iii) waive or fail to perfect the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights or remedies
against the Debtor or the collateral security for any of the Debtor Liabilities; and 
 V. Warrants that the
addresses specified on the signature page hereof, immediately below each Guarantor’s name, is such Guarantor’s true and correct address, and agrees to notify the Administrative Agent, in the manner hereinafter specified, within three
(3) days after any change in any Guarantor’s address. 
 CONTINUING GUARANTY. This Agreement shall be a
continuing one and shall continue in full force and effect until (subject to the terms and conditions of the Section of this Agreement entitled Bankruptcy of the Debtor) all Debtor Liabilities and all other amounts payable under the Loan
Documents have been paid and performed in full, and all Commitments have terminated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to terminate or revoke this Agreement. 

EXTENT OF GUARANTORS’ LIABILITY. This Agreement shall be and is intended to be an absolute and unconditional
guaranty and suretyship for the aggregate of the Debtor Liabilities including, but not limited to, the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes. The Administrative Agent may apply any payment received on account of the Debtor Liabilities in such order as
the Lenders, in their sole discretion, may elect. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Agreement, when construed collectively with the obligations of any other Person that 

  
 - 2 - 

 
becomes a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, are intended to be the joint and several obligations of the Guarantors and such other Persons that become Guarantors
under the Credit Agreement, and this Agreement, when construed in connection with such other Guaranty Agreements, is intended to be an absolute and unconditional guaranty and suretyship for the aggregate of the Debtor Liabilities. 

No payment or payments made by the Debtor, any Guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender from the Debtor, any Guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or
in payment of the Debtor Liabilities shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantors under this Agreement, and the Guarantors shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments (other than payments
made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Guarantors or payments received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Guarantors), remain liable for the Debtor Liabilities until the Debtor Liabilities are indefeasibly
paid in full in cash, each Lender’s obligations to make Loans is terminated according to the terms of the Credit Agreement and all Lender Provided Interest Rate Hedges have either expired or have been terminated; provided,
however, that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Guarantors’ liability under this Section [Extent of Guarantors’ Liability] exceed the maximum amount that, after giving effect to the incurring of
the obligations hereunder and to any rights to contribution of the Guarantors from the Debtor and other Affiliates of the Debtor, would render the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ right to payment hereunder void, voidable or
avoidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer law. 
 UNCONDITIONAL LIABILITY. The Guarantors’ liability
hereunder is absolute and unconditional and shall not be reduced, limited, waived, or released in any way by reason of: (i) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to obtain, retain, preserve, perfect or enforce any rights against
any Person (including without limitation, any Obligor) or in any property securing any or all of the Debtor Liabilities; (ii) the invalidity or irregularity of any such rights that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may attempt to obtain;
(iii) any delay in enforcing or any failure to enforce such rights, even if such rights are thereby lost; (iv) any delay in making demand on any Obligor for payment or performance of any or all of the Debtor Liabilities; or (v) from
time to time, the payment in full and subsequent incurring of any Debtor Liabilities. 
 RIGHT OF SET-OFF. If any liability of any Guarantor hereunder is not paid to the Administrative Agent when due, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may forthwith set-off
against the liabilities of any Guarantor hereunder all moneys owed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Guarantor in any capacity, whether or not then due, and whether provisionally or finally credited upon the Administrative
Agent’s and the Lenders’ books and records. 
 WAIVER. The Guarantors hereby waive all notice with respect
to the present existence or future incurrence of any Debtor Liabilities including, but not limited to, the amount, terms and conditions thereof. The Guarantors hereby consent to the taking of, or failure to take, from time to time, any action of any
nature whatsoever permitted by Law with respect to the Debtor Liabilities and with respect to any rights against any Person or Persons (including, without limitation, any Obligor), or in any property including, without limitation, any renewals,
extensions, modifications, postponements, compromises, indulgences, waivers, surrenders, exchanges and 

  
 - 3 - 

 
releases, and the Guarantors will remain fully liable hereunder notwithstanding any or all of the foregoing. The granting of an express written release of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder
or any other Obligor’s liability shall be effective only with respect to the liability hereunder of such Guarantor or Obligor who is specifically so expressly released but shall in no way affect the liability hereunder of any Guarantor or any
Obligor not so expressly released. The dissolution of any Guarantor, or any other Obligor, shall in no way affect the liability hereunder or that of any other Obligor. Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives: (i) notices of acceptance hereof;
(ii) any presentment, demand, protest, notice of default in connection with the Debtor Liabilities, dishonor or notice of dishonor; (iii) any right of indemnification; and (iv) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other
defense whatsoever to the liability of the Debtor, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or in discharge of, such Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder. 

No payment by any Guarantor shall entitle any other Obligor, by subrogation, contribution, indemnification or otherwise, to
succeed to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, including rights to any payment made on account of the Debtor Liabilities, regardless of the source of such payment, and no Guarantor shall have any right of subrogation,
contribution, indemnification or other rights to be reimbursed, made whole or otherwise compensated by any other Obligor with respect to any payments made hereunder, until all of the Debtor’s obligations to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are satisfied in full and are not subject to any right of disgorgement and the Commitments are terminated. Each Guarantor hereby waives any benefit of and any right to participate in
any collateral security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or any failure or refusal by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to perfect an interest in any collateral security. 

BANKRUPTCY OF THE DEBTOR. Neither the Guarantors’ obligations to make payment in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement nor any remedy for the enforcement hereof shall be impaired, modified, changed, released or limited in any manner whatsoever by the Debtor’s bankruptcy or by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of (i) the
liability of the Debtor, any Person assuming the obligations of the Debtor under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the Debtor’s estate in bankruptcy or (ii) any remedy for the enforcement of the Debtor Liabilities,
either of which result from the operation of any present or future provision of any bankruptcy act, Law or equitable cause or from the decision of any court. The Guarantors agree that to the extent that the Debtor or any other Obligor makes a
payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be paid to a trustee, receiver or any
other Person under any bankruptcy act, Law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment, the Debtor Liabilities or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not
been made. 
 PRIMARY LIABILITY OF THE GUARANTORS. The Guarantors agree that this Agreement may be enforced by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or
any collateral now or hereafter securing the Debtor Liabilities or otherwise, and each Guarantor hereby 

  
 - 4 - 

 
waives the right to require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to proceed against any other Obligor or to require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to pursue any other remedy or
enforce any other right. The Guarantors further agree that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from suing on the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any of them, or foreclosing their Lien, if
any, on any collateral hereafter securing the Debtor Liabilities or from exercising any other rights available under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument of security if neither the Debtor nor the Guarantors
timely satisfy the Debtor Liabilities thereunder, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of any of the obligations of the Guarantors thereunder; it being the
purpose and intent of the Guarantors that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional. Neither the obligations of the Guarantors under this Agreement nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall
be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of the Debtor or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Debtor. If acceleration of the time
for payment of any amount payable by the Debtor is stayed upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Debtor, amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents including, without limitation,
interest at the rates set forth in the Credit Agreement occurring after the date of such bankruptcy or insolvency, shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent. The Guarantors acknowledge
that the term “Debtor Liabilities” as used herein includes any payments made by the Debtor to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and subsequently recovered by the Debtor or a trustee for the Debtor pursuant to bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings. 
 ACCELERATION OF THE GUARANTORS’ LIABILITIES. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events,
all of the Debtor Liabilities, at the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ option, shall be deemed to be forthwith due and payable for the purposes of this Agreement and for determining the liability of the Guarantors hereunder, whether
or not the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have any such rights against any other Obligor, and whether or not the Administrative Agent and the Lenders elect to exercise any rights or remedies against any other Person or property including,
without limitation, any other Obligor: (1) the failure of any Guarantor to perform any covenant or obligation hereunder; (2) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement; (3) except as otherwise permitted pursuant
to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the sale of all or substantially all of the assets, or change in ownership, or the dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of any Guarantor; (4) any information or signature heretofore or
hereafter furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by any Guarantor, or delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by an Obligor in connection with any of the Debtor Liabilities, is materially false or incorrect at the time when
made; or (5) the failure of any Guarantor or any Obligor to furnish the Administrative Agent and the Lenders such financial and other information as required by the Loan Documents. 

RIGHTS OF THE GUARANTORS. All rights and remedies of the Guarantors against the Debtor or any property of the Debtor or
any collateral security for any of the Debtor Liabilities, whether arising by promissory note, subrogation, security agreement, mortgage or otherwise, shall in all respects be and remain subordinate and junior in right of payment and priority to the
prior and indefeasible payment in full to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of all Debtor Liabilities and to the priority of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in any property of the 

  
 - 5 - 

 
Debtor and any collateral security for any of the Debtor Liabilities. Any amount which may have been paid to any Guarantor on account of any Indebtedness of the Debtor to any Guarantor, or on
account of any subrogation or other rights of any Guarantor against the Debtor, when all of the Debtor Liabilities shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full, shall be held by the undersigned in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall
forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied upon the Debtor Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured. 

NOTICE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS BY THE GUARANTORS. All notices, statements, requests and demands and
other communications given to or made upon the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be given or made as provided in Section 10.5 [Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic
Communication] of the Credit Agreement. 
 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE GUARANTORS. Financial information provided by
the Guarantors in connection herewith or with the Credit Agreement to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is accurate and complete in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP. There has been no Material Adverse Change
since the date of such information. The Guarantors have made full and true disclosure taken as a whole of all pertinent financial and other information in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. 

JOINDER. Upon the execution and delivery by any other Guarantor of a Guarantor Joinder, such Person shall become a
“Guarantor” hereunder with the same force and effect as if it were originally a party to this Agreement and named as a “Guarantor” on the signature pages hereto. The execution and delivery of any such Guarantor Joinder by a
Guarantor shall not require the consent of any Guarantor or any Obligor, and the rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.

 MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Guarantors and the Guarantors’ respective successors
and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, their respective endorsers, successors and assigns forever. If any provision of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. All matters arising hereunder shall be governed by the
Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its conflict of laws principles, and the parties hereto agree to the jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania and the United States District
Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania with respect to any suit arising in connection herewith. 
 WAIVER OF
TRIAL BY JURY. THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY EXPRESSLY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ALL BENEFIT AND ADVANTAGE OF ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND THEY WILL NOT AT ANY TIME INSIST UPON, OR PLEAD OR IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER CLAIM OR TAKE THE BENEFIT
OR ADVANTAGE OF A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. THE UNDERSIGNED (A) CERTIFY THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED,

  
 - 6 - 

 
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT FOR THE LENDERS TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAKE THE LOANS. 
 [INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Guarantors, intending to be legally
bound, have executed and delivered this Agreement on the day and year first above written.

assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of assets and liabilities of any such Loan Party (a Loan Party distributing assets as set forth herein being referred to in such capacity as a “Distributing Loan Party”),
then and in any such event, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as their respective interests may appear, indefeasible payment in full of all amounts due or to become due
(whether or not an Event of Default has occurred under the terms of the Loan Documents or the Senior Debt has been declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable) on or in respect of any and all
Senior Debt before the holder of any Intercompany Indebtedness owed by the Distributing Loan Party is entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or interest on such Intercompany Indebtedness, and to that end, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment of the Senior Debt, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Intercompany
Indebtedness owed by the Distributing Loan Party in any such case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up event. 

If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, a Loan Party that is owed Intercompany Indebtedness by a
Distributing Loan Party shall have received any payment or distribution of assets from the Distributing Loan Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be held
in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as their respective interests may appear, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by such Loan Party, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in
the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to or held as collateral (in the case of noncash property or securities) for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Debt in accordance with the terms
of the Credit Agreement. 
 VIII. No Commencement of Any Proceeding. Each Loan Party agrees that, so long as the
Senior Debt shall remain unpaid, it will not commence, or join with any creditor other than the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in commencing any proceeding referred to in the first paragraph of Section 2 against any other Loan Party which
owes it any Intercompany Indebtedness. 
 IX. Prior Payment of Senior Debt Upon Acceleration of Intercompany
Indebtedness. If any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness owed by any Loan Party becomes or is declared due and payable before its stated maturity, then and in such event the Lenders shall be entitled to receive indefeasible Payment In Full
of all amounts due and to become due on or in respect of the Senior Debt (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred under the terms of the Loan Documents or the Senior Debt has been declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would
otherwise have become due and payable) before the holder of any such Intercompany Indebtedness is entitled to receive any payment thereon. 

  
 - 2 - 

 If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan Party shall make any payment of
the Intercompany Indebtedness prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as their
respective interests may appear. 
 The provisions of this Section 4 shall not apply to any payment with respect to
which Section 2 hereof would be applicable. 
 X. No Payment When Senior Debt in Default. If any Event of Default
or Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or such an Event of Default or Potential Default would result from or exist after giving effect to a payment with respect to any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness, unless the
Administrative Agent shall have consented to or waived the same, so long as any of the Senior Debt shall remain outstanding, no payment shall be made by any Loan Party owing such Intercompany Indebtedness on account of principal or interest on any
portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness. 
 If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan Party shall make any payment of the
Intercompany Indebtedness prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as their
respective interests may appear. 
 The provisions of this Section 5 shall not apply to any payment with respect to
which Section 2 hereof would be applicable. 
 XI. Payment Permitted if No Default. Except during the pendency of
any of the conditions described in Sections 2, 4 and 5 hereof, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent any Loan Party from (i) making payments of principal of or interest on any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness, or
(ii) retaining any money deposited with such Loan Party for the payment of or on account of the principal of or interest on the Intercompany Indebtedness. 

XII. Rights of Subrogation. Each Loan Party agrees that no payment or distribution to the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle it to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Senior Debt shall have been indefeasibly Paid in Full and all Lender Provided Interest Rate Hedges shall have
expired or been terminated. 
 XIII. Instruments Evidencing Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Loan Party shall cause
each instrument, if any, which now or hereafter evidences all or a portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness to be conspicuously marked as follows: 

“This instrument is subject to the terms of an Intercompany Subordination Agreement, dated January __, 2023, in favor of
PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders referred to therein, which Intercompany Subordination Agreement is incorporated herein by reference. Notwithstanding any contrary statement contained in the within instrument,
no payment on account of the principal thereof or interest thereon shall become due or payable except in accordance with the express terms of said Intercompany Subordination Agreement.” 

  
 - 3 - 

 Each Loan Party will further mark its books of account in such a manner as shall be
effective to give proper notice to the effect of this Agreement. 
 XIV. Agreement Solely to Define Relative Rights.
The purpose of this Agreement is solely to define the relative rights of the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair, as
between any of the Loan Parties and their creditors other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the obligation of the Loan Parties to each other to pay the principal of and interest on the Intercompany Indebtedness as and when the same
shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights among the Loan Parties and their creditors other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, nor shall anything herein prevent any of
the Loan Parties from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable Law upon default under any agreement pursuant to which the Intercompany Indebtedness is created, subject to the rights, if any, under this Agreement of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to receive cash, property or securities otherwise payable or deliverable with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness. 

XV. No Implied Waivers of Subordination. No right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to enforce subordination, as
herein provided, shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Loan Party or by any act or failure to act by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or by any
non-compliance by any Loan Party with the terms, provisions and covenants of any agreement pursuant to which the Intercompany Indebtedness is created, regardless of any knowledge thereof the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may have or be otherwise charged with. Each Loan Party by its acceptance hereof shall agree that, so long as there is Senior Debt outstanding or Commitments in effect under the Credit Agreement, such Loan Party shall not agree to
sell, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or to compromise, the obligations of the other Loan Parties with respect to their Intercompany Indebtedness, other than by means of payment of such Intercompany Indebtedness according to its
terms, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. 
 Without in any way limiting the generality of the
foregoing paragraph, the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Loan Parties or the Borrower except to the extent provided in the Credit Agreement, without incurring
responsibility to the Loan Parties and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Agreement or the obligations hereunder of the Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, do any one or more of the following:
(i) change the manner, place or terms of payment, or extend the time of payment, renew or alter the Senior Debt or otherwise amend or supplement the Senior Debt or the Loan Documents; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any
property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing the Senior Debt, if any; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any
of the Loan Parties and any other Person. 
 XVI. Additional Subsidiaries. The Loan Parties covenant and agree that
they shall cause Subsidiaries created or acquired after the date of this Agreement that are required to join this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.13 [Joinder of Guarantors] of the Credit Agreement, to execute a Guarantor Joinder, whereby such
Subsidiary joins this Agreement and subordinates all 

  
 - 4 - 

 
Indebtedness owed to any such Subsidiary, as applicable, by any of the Loan Parties to the Senior Debt. 

XVII. Continuing Force and Effect. This Agreement shall continue in force for so long as any portion of the Senior Debt
remains unpaid and any Commitments under the Credit Agreement remain outstanding, it being contemplated that this Agreement be of a continuing nature. 

XVIII. Modification, Amendments or Waivers. Any and all agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement
or the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder, and any and all waivers or consents to Events of Default or other departures from the due performance of the Loan Parties hereunder, shall be made only by written agreement, waiver
or consent signed by the Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of all the Lenders, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent being effective to bind all the Lenders and,
with respect to amendments or changes to any provision of this Agreement, signed by the Borrower, acting on behalf of the Loan Parties. 

XIX. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement
shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or
enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction. 
 XX. Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be a contract under the internal Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to its
principles of conflict of Laws. 
 XXI. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, as permitted in the Credit Agreement, and the obligations of the Loan Parties shall be binding upon their respective successors and assigns. The duties and obligations
of the Loan Parties may not be delegated or transferred by the Loan Parties without the written consent of the Required Lenders and any such delegation or transfer without such consent shall be null and void. Except to the extent otherwise required
by the context of this Agreement, the word “Lenders” when used herein shall include, without limitation, any holder of a Note or an assignment of rights therein originally issued to a Lender under the Credit Agreement, and each such
holder of a Note or assignment shall have the benefits of this Agreement to the same extent as if such holder had originally been a Lender under the Credit Agreement. 

XXII. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on
separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 

XXIII. Attorneys-in-Fact. Each of the
Loan Parties hereby authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent, at its election and in the name of either itself, for the benefit of the 

  
 - 5 - 

 
Administrative Agent and the Lenders as their respective interests may appear, or in the name of each such Loan Party as is owed Intercompany Indebtedness, to execute and file proofs and
documents and take any other action the Administrative Agent may deem advisable to completely protect the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests in the Intercompany Indebtedness and their right of enforcement thereof, and to
that end each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent, its officers, employees and agents, or any of them, with full power of substitution, as the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact and agent of such Loan Party, and with full power for such Loan Party, and in the name, place and stead of such Loan Party for the purpose of carrying
out the provisions of this Agreement, and taking any action and executing, delivering, filing and recording any instruments which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which power of attorney,
being given for security, is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and confirms, and agrees to ratify and confirm, all action taken by the Administrative Agent, its officers, employees or agents pursuant to the
foregoing power of attorney. 
 XXIV. Application of Payments. In the event any payments are received by the
Administrative Agent under the terms of this Agreement for application to the Senior Debt at any time when the Senior Debt has not been declared due and payable and prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable, such payment
shall constitute a voluntary prepayment of the Senior Debt for all purposes under the Credit Agreement. 
 XXV.
Remedies. In the event of a breach by any of the Loan Parties in the performance of any of the terms of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may demand specific performance of this Agreement and seek injunctive
relief and may exercise any other remedy available at law or in equity, it being recognized that the remedies of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders at law may not fully compensate the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders for
the damages they may suffer in the event of a breach hereof. 
 XXVI. Consent to Jurisdiction, Waiver of Jury Trial.
Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania and the United States District Court for the Western
District of Pennsylvania, waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process be made by certified or registered mail directed to the Loan Parties at the addresses referred to in Section 22
hereof and service so made shall be deemed to be completed upon actual receipt thereof. Each of the Loan Parties waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted against it as provided herein and agrees not to assert any
defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER  

  
 - 6 - 

 
CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE LENDERS TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAKE THE LOANS. 

XXVII. Notices. All notices, statements, requests and demands and other communications given to or made upon the Loan
Parties, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be given or made as provided in Section 10.5 [Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication] of the Credit Agreement.
