 If the Supplemental
Tranche B Term Loans are not funded or are funded in an amount less than $42,000,000, then the principal amount of each installment set forth above that then remains unpaid shall be reduced ratably (based on the proportion that such installment
bears to the aggregate amount of all installments set forth above that then remain unpaid). 
  
 SECTION 3. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF REVOLVING COMMITMENTS 
  
 3.1. Revolving Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time
to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the sum of (i) the L/C Obligations then outstanding and (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Swingline Loans then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying and
reborrowing the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 3.2 and 4.3. 
  
 (b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Revolving Termination Date. 
  
 3.2. Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the Revolving Commitment Period on any
Business Day if the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice which notice may be given by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) or email (received by the Administrative 

  

 28 

 
Agent prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, (a) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (b) one
Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans), except that any such notice of a borrowing of Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility to finance payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.5 may be
given not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date of the proposed borrowing, specifying (i) the amount and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date and (iii) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the
respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor. Any Revolving Loans made on the Closing Date shall initially be Base Rate Loans and, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent
in its sole discretion, no Revolving Loan may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Loan having an Interest Period in excess of one month prior to the date that is 60 days after the Closing Date. Each borrowing under the Revolving
Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of Base Rate Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and
(y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided, that the Swingline Lender may request, on behalf of the Borrower, borrowings under the Revolving Commitments that are Base Rate Loans
in other amounts pursuant to Section 3.4. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each
borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative
Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the
Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. No Revolving Loans shall be made on the Closing Date. 
  
 3.3. Swingline Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make swingline loans (“Swingline
Loans”) available to the Borrower as a subfacility under the Revolving Commitments; provided, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect
(notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Revolving Loans hereunder, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall not
request, and the Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. During the Revolving Commitment
Period, the Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be Base Rate Loans only. 
  
 (b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Swingline Loans on the Revolving
Termination Date. 
  
 3.4. Procedure for Swingline Borrowing;
Refunding of Swingline Loans. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans it shall 

  

 29 

 
give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not
later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period). Each borrowing under
the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $250,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the
Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the
proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds. 
  
 (b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and
absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice (a copy of which shall be provided to the Borrower) given by the Swingline Lender
no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount
of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent
at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent
to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to
the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans.

  
 (c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise
been made pursuant to Section 3.4(b), one of the events described in Section 9(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving
Loans are not made as contemplated by Section 3.4(b), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 3.4(b) (the “Refunding Date”), purchase for cash
an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage
times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans. 
  
 (d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the
Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest 

  

 30 

 
payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and
interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the
event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender. 
  
 (e) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in
Section 3.4(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 3.4(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such
Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other
conditions specified in Section 6; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving Lender;
or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
  
 3.5. Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for
the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which
payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof. 
  
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Term Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the earlier of (i) the date on which any Supplemental Tranche B Term Loans are funded and (ii) the day that is 180 days after the Closing Date, computed at a
rate equal to 0.50% per annum on such Term Lender’s Tranche B Term Percentage of $42,000,000, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each quarter and upon the termination of the Tranche B Term Commitment, commencing on the first of
such dates to occur after the date hereof. 
  
 (c) The Borrower
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates from time to time agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
  
 3.6. Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three
Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided, that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments
shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments. Any such
reduction shall 

  

 31 

 
be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 (or, if less, the Total Revolving Commitments at such time), or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently
the Revolving Commitments then in effect. 
  
 3.7. L/C
Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.10(a), agrees to (A) issue letters of credit (“Letters of
Credit”) for the account of the Borrower (which Letters of Credit may be issued, subject to Section 8.8, for the account of the Borrower on behalf of its Subsidiaries) on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form
as may be reasonably approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it and (B) to honor conforming drafts under the Letters of Credit; provided, that the Issuing Lender shall have
no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of
Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date; provided, that any
Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above). Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the Revolving Commitment Period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or
that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 
  
 (b) The Issuing
Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

  
 3.8. Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. (a)
The Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit or amend a Letter of Credit, as the case may be, by delivering to each of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender at its respective address for
notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request. In the case of any
Application for the initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender will notify the Administrative Agent of the amount, the beneficiary and the requested expiration of the requested Letter of Credit, and upon receipt of confirmation from
the Administrative Agent (which confirmation shall be given promptly) that after giving effect to the requested issuance, the Available Revolving Commitments would not be less than zero, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the
certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender
issue any Letter of Credit later than five Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to
the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. In the case of a request for an Application to amend any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably
satisfactory to the 

  

 32 

 
Issuing Lender the Letter of Credit to be amended, the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day), the nature of the proposed
amendment and such other matters as the Issuing Lender may reasonably require. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of each Letter of Credit or amendment thereof to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly following the
issuance or amendment thereof. 
  
 (b) The making of each request
for a Letter of Credit by the Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.7. Unless the Issuing Lender
has received notice from the Administrative Agent before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 are not satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.7,
then the Issuing Lender may issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. 
  
 3.9. Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate
equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the applicable issuance date.
In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit as agreed by the Borrower and the Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee
Payment Date after the applicable issuance date. 
  
 (b) In
addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal, customary and reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting
payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit. 
  
 3.10. L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C
Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an
undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender
thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing
Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand of the Issuing Lender an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving
Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward such amounts to the Issuing Lender. Each L/C Participant’s obligations under this Section 3.10 shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant or the Borrower may have against the Issuing Lender or any other Person
for any reason whatsoever; 

  

 33 

 
(ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 6; (iii)
any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant; or (v) any other circumstance, happening
or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
  
 (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.10(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender
under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of
Credit to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount
required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.10(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the
Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the
Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.10 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
  

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro
rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.10(a), the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral
applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof;
provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall be required to be returned by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, such L/C
Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to it. 
  
 3.11. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to
reimburse the Issuing Lender on the same Business Day on which the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft or payment demand presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a)
such draft or demand so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to
herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on all Reimbursement Obligations from the date on which the relevant draft or demand is paid by the Issuing Lender until payment in full by the Borrower at the rate set
forth in (i) until the 

  

 34 

 
Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice to the Borrower, Section 4.5(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 4.5(c). 
  
 3.12. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under
Section 3.11 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of
Credit or any other Person. The Borrower and each L/C Participant also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and neither the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.11 nor any L/C
Participant’s obligations under Section 3.10 shall be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged,
or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit
or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for
errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or
omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in
the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower. 
  
 3.13. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing
Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment
obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such
Letter of Credit. 
  
 3.14. Applications. To the extent
that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall control. 
  
 3.15. Increase of the Revolving Facility. (a) The Borrower and any Lender (including a New Lender) may, with the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, agree that such Lender shall increase the amount of its Revolving Commitments or provide an additional
Revolving Commitment by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Increased Facility Activation Notice specifying (i) the aggregate amount of the increase in the Revolving Commitments and (ii) the applicable Increased Facility Closing
Date. Except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each such increase in the Revolving Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of 

  

 35 

 
$1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Borrower agrees to offer to each Revolving Lender the right to participate ratably in any increase of the Revolving
Commitments. The proceeds of loans under the increased Revolving Commitments may be used for any purpose permitted by the second sentence of Section 5.16. 
  
 (b) This Agreement may be amended by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to provide for any increase in any Lender’s Revolving Commitment
agreed to by such Lender or to provide for additional Revolving Commitments by any Lender (including a New Lender). No additional consents (including consent of the Required Lenders) shall be required, so long as the Revolving Commitments are not
increased in the aggregate by more than $25,000,000. 
  
 (c) No
Lender shall be obligated to commit or agree to provide any increase in its Revolving Commitment or any additional Revolving Commitment. No Agent shall be in any respect obligated with respect thereto. 
  
 (d) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with
the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with any increase in the Revolving Commitments described in Section
3.15(a) shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”), substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a “New Lender”) shall become a
Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT 
  
 4.1. Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty,
upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date of prepayment
in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.11. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given,
the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.
Partial prepayments of Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (or, if less, the remaining principal amount of such Loans) or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Partial prepayments
of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 (or, if less, the remaining principal amount of such Swingline Loans) or a whole multiple thereof.

 4.2. Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. (a) If any Indebtedness shall be incurred by
any Group Member (other than Excluded Indebtedness), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied within five Business Days after the date of such incurrence toward the prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans and the
reduction of any remaining unfunded Tranche B Term Commitments as set forth in Section 4.2(d). If any Capital Stock shall be issued by Holdings to any Person other than (i) any Group Member or any employee or director of a Group Member or (ii) the
Sponsor or its Control Investment Affiliates or Co-Investors, an amount equal to 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied within five Business Days after the date of such issuance toward the prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans and
the reduction of any remaining unfunded Tranche B Term Commitments as set forth in Section 4.2(d). 
  
 (b) If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be
delivered in respect thereof, all such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five Business Days after such date toward the prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans and the reduction of any remaining unfunded Tranche B Term Commitments as set forth
in Section 4.2(d); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales that may be excluded from the foregoing requirement pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice shall not exceed $20,000,000 in any
fiscal year of the Borrower and (ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward such prepayment and reduction. 
  
 (c) If, for any fiscal year of the Borrower commencing with the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2005, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow toward the prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans. Each such
prepayment and commitment reduction shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than five Business Days after the date such financial statements are delivered. 
  
 (d) Amounts to be applied in connection with the prepayments and the Tranche
B Term Commitment reductions made pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans and, second, to permanently reduce (without any required cash payment), any remaining unfunded Tranche B
Term Commitments. The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under Section 4.2 (except in the case of Revolving
Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. 
  
 4.3. Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the
Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice (which may be given by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) or email) of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date;
provided, that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the
Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 2:00 P.M., New 

  

 37 

 
York City time, three Business Days preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor).
If the Borrower requests a conversion to Eurodollar Loans in any such notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. 
  
 (b) Any
Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term
“Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided, that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations; and provided, further, that
if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of
such then expiring Interest Period. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if the Borrower requests a continuation of Eurodollar Loans in any such notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have
specified an Interest Period of one month. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3, no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility will or may be converted into a Eurodollar
Loan when (i) any Event of Default described in Section 9.1(f) has occurred and is continuing or (ii) any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility
have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. 
  
 (d) All amounts outstanding on any day on Loans that are not Eurodollar Loans on such day shall be outstanding as Base Rate Loans for such day. 
  
 4.4. Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings,
conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of
the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time. 
  
 4.5. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin. 
  

 38 

 (b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each day on
which it is a Base Rate Loan from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
  
 (c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans and (without limiting Section 3.11) all Reimbursement Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto
pursuant to Section 4.5(a) or (b), as applicable, plus 2% per annum or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2% per annum, and (ii) if all or a portion of
any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% per annum (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to Base
Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2% per annum), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment). 
  
 (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date;
provided, that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 4.5 shall be payable from time to time on demand. 
  
 4.6. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the
actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for
the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base
Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders
of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for each day on which it is made or outstanding, except the day on which it is repaid unless it is repaid on the same day that it was made.

  
 (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the
Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 4.5(a). 
  

 39 

 4.7. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

  
 (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good
faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period,
or 
  
 (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by
such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, 
  
 the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant
Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be
continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative
Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans. 
  
 4.8. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the
Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Tranche B Term Percentages or Revolving
Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. 
  
 (b)
Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Tranche B Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Tranche B Term Loans
then held by the Term Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans (including prepayments pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Tranche B Term Loans
pro rata based upon the then remaining principal amount thereof. Amounts prepaid on account of the Tranche B Term Loans may not be reborrowed. 
  
 (c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro
rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders. 
  
 (d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made
without 

  

 40 

 
setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on
the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the
maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business
Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. 
  
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender
will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this
paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative
Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its
obligation under its Commitment or to limit the rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
  
 (f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due
to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required
to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after
such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the
daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower. 
  

 41 

 4.9. Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the
interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive whether or not having the force of law (but if not having the force of law, one which such Lender is accustomed to comply), from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the date hereof: 
  
 (i) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by,
deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate
hereunder; or 
  
 (ii) shall impose on such
Lender any other similar adverse condition; 
  
 and the result of any of the
foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce
any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount
receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

  
 (b) If any Lender shall have determined in good faith that the
adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy, whether or not having the force of law (but if not having the force of law, one which such Lender is accustomed to comply), from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such
adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material,
then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
or such corporation for such reduction. 
  
 (c) A certificate in
reasonable detail as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.9 submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 4.9, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.9 for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, 

  

 42 

 
then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.9
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  
 4.10. Taxes. (a) All payments made under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of,
any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (i) net income taxes,
franchise taxes, doing business taxes or minimum taxes imposed on any Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document) and (ii) taxes in the nature of transfer, stamp, recording, excise or documentary taxes resulting from any voluntary transfer or assignment pursuant to Section 11.6(b) (other than during the continuance of an
Event of Default or pursuant to Sections 4.12 or 4.13) by any Lender of all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded
Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such
Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase
any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (x) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section 4.10 or (y) that are United States
withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional
amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph. 
  
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, excluding any taxes or amounts described in Section 4.10(a)(ii). 
  
 (c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the
Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by
the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agents and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. 
  

 43 

 (d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S.
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (claiming benefits under an applicable income tax treaty), Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of
the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such
Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or
before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the
obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate
to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this
paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. Each Lender that is a “U.S. Person” shall deliver a Form W-9 or suitable substitute establishing that such Lender is a “U.S. Person.” 
  
 (e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S.
withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate to the extent that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal
position of such Lender. 
  
 (f) If any Administrative Agent or
any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to
this Section 4.10, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 4.10 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving
rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the
request of such Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such
Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other 

  

 44 

 
information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
  
 (g) The agreements in this Section 4.10 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  
 4.11. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in
making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or
conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with
respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such
prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each
case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to
such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate in reasonable detail as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.11 submitted to the
Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  
 4.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 4.9, 4.10(a) or 4.15 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate
another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending
office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 4.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.9, 4.10(a) or
4.15. 
  
 4.13. Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall
be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.9, 4.10(a) or 4.15, (b) defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder or (c) withholds its consent to any amendment, waiver or other
modification to any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires consent of such Lender and is consented to by the Administrative Agent and by the Required Lenders, with a replacement financial institution, but only if (i) such replacement
does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement pursuant to clause (a) above, such Lender has taken no action under Section
4.12 so as to eliminate the continued 

  

 45 

 
need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.9, 4.10(a) or 4.15, (iv) the replacement financial institution purchases, at par, all Loans and other
amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement and assumes the Commitment of such replaced Lender, (v) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and (vi) if such replaced Lender is the Issuing Lender, no Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender shall remain outstanding after giving effect to such replacement. The replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein). The Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 4.11(c) if any
Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto. Until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any)
required pursuant to Section 4.9, 4.10(a) or 4.15, as the case may be. Any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

  
 4.14. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain
in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such
Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 
  
 (b) The
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such
Loan, the Type of such Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum
received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 
  
 (c) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 4.14(a) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any
such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 (d) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by
any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Tranche B Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit
H-1, H-2 or H-3, respectively, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount. 
  
 4.15. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to
make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue 

  

 46 

 
Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such situation no longer exist and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then
current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 4.11. 
  
 SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
  
 To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to each Agent and each Lender
that: 
  
 5.1. Financial Condition. (a) The unaudited pro
forma consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2004 (including the notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender,
has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the consummation of the Acquisition, (ii) the Loans to be made and the Senior Subordinated Notes to be issued on the Closing Date and the use of proceeds thereof
and (iii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared in good faith by the Borrower based on information reasonably available to the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof and
presents fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2004, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at
such date and based on information readily available as of the date of preparation. 
  
 (b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of Rhodia Phosphates Business as at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003 and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on
such dates, reported on by and accompanied by a report from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of Rhodia Phosphates Business as at such date, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Rhodia Phosphates Business as at March 31, 2004, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash
flows for the three-month period ended on such date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of Rhodia Phosphates Business as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash
flows for the three-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the
periods involved (except in the case of unaudited financial statements, normal year-end adjustments as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). 
  
 5.2. No Change. Since December 31, 2003, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 47 

 5.3. Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly
existing and (where applicable) in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to
conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and (where applicable) in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of
its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except, in the cases referred to in clauses (c) and (d) above, to the extent that the failure to do so could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 5.4. Power;
Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit
hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the Acquisition (other than consents,
authorizations, notices or acts of any Person that is not a Governmental Authority, the lack of which could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) and the extensions of credit hereunder or with the
execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 5.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have
been obtained or made and are in full force and effect (except for the consents, authorizations, filings and notices listed on Part B of Schedule 5.4, which the Group Members have made commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or make and the lack
of which could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 5.19. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto.
This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by
proceedings in equity or at law). 
  
 5.5. No Legal Bar.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual
Obligation of any Group Member and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens
created by the Security Documents), except to the extent any violation of any such Contractual Obligation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 48 

 5.6. Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 5.7. No Default. No Group Member is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
  
 5.8. Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Group Member has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good
title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material property. None of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 8.3. 
  
 5.9. Intellectual Property. Each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as
currently conducted. No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any material Intellectual Property owned by (or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, licensed to) any Group Member or the
validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of material Intellectual Property by each Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any
material respect. 
  
 5.10. Taxes. Each Group Member has
filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes payable by such Group Member or shown on any material assessments made against it or any of its property and all other
material taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of that are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which
reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be); no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax,
fee or other charge. 
  
 5.11. Federal Regulations. No part
of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now
and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender
a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U. 
  
 5.12. Labor Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or
other labor disputes against any Group Member pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened and (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees of each Group Member have not been in 

  

 49 

 
violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters. 
  
 5.13. ERISA. No Reportable Event that could reasonably be expected to
result in any material liability to the Borrower has occurred with respect to any Single Employer Plan. Each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. During the five-year period prior to the
date on which this representation is made or deemed made: (a) no termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, (b) no “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has been
incurred with respect to any Single Employer Plan, and (c) no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Single Employer Plan has arisen. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such
Single Employer Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Single Employer Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by an amount
that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected
to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely
from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries
has any liability with respect to any employee benefit plan that is not subject to the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 5.14. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an
“investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law
(other than Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness. 
  
 5.15. Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in writing from time to time after the Closing Date, (a) Schedule 5.15 sets forth the name and jurisdiction of incorporation
or formation of each Subsidiary and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party and (b) there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or
commitments (other than directors’ qualifying shares or nominee shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except as created by the Loan Documents. 
  
 5.16. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Initial Tranche B Term
Loans will be used to finance a portion of the Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans and any Supplemental Tranche B Term Loans, together with the proceeds of the Swingline Loans and the Letters of
Credit, will be used for lawful and general corporate purposes (including to fund working capital). 
  

 50 

 5.17. Environmental Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Environmental Effect: 
  
 (a) the facilities and
properties owned, leased or operated by any Group Member (the “Properties”) do not contain, and have not previously contained, any Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations or under circumstances that
constitute or constituted a violation of, or could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law; 
  
 (b) no Group Member has received or is aware of any written notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability
regarding environmental matters or non-compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the business operated by any Group Member (the “Business”), nor does the Borrower have knowledge or reason to believe
that any such notice is being threatened; 
  
 (c) Materials of
Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location that could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of
Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law;

  
 (d) no judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative
action is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which any Group Member is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other
decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business; 
  
 (e) there has been no release or threat of release of Materials of
Environmental Concern at or from the Properties, or arising from or related to the operations of any Group Member in connection with the Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business, in violation of or in amounts or in a manner that could
reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under Environmental Laws; 
  
 (f) the Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance, and have in the last five years been in compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no contamination at, under or about
the Properties or violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business; and 
  
 (g) no Group Member has contractually assumed any liability of any other Person under Environmental Laws. 
  
 5.18. Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information
contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Confidential Information Memorandum or any other document, certificate or statement furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, for
use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such 

  

 51 

 
statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished (or, in the case of the Confidential Information Memorandum, as of the date of its
preparation), any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, that the
projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the
Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by
a material amount. As of the date hereof, the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in the Acquisition Documents are true and correct in all material respects. There is no fact known to any Loan Party that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents, in the Confidential Information Memorandum or in any other schedules, documents, certificates and statements furnished to the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their representatives for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents. 
  
 5.19. Security Documents. (a) Each of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the Mexican Stock Pledge Agreement is effective to create in favor
of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a legally valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws
affecting creditors rights generally or by general principles of equity. In the case of the Capital Stock pledged pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or the Mexican Stock Pledge Agreement, when stock certificates representing such
pledged Capital Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent and, with respect to the Capital Stock of Innophos Mexicana, when the certificates evidencing the Capital Stock are duly endorsed in guarantee (endoso en garantía) in
favor of, and delivered to, the Administrative Agent and an appropriate notation is made in the stock registry book (libro de registro de acciones) of Innophos Mexicana, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement, when financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 5.19(a) in appropriate form are properly filed in the offices specified on Schedule 5.19(a), the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully
perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral (to the extent that a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected by possession, control or a filing under applicable law)
and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Capital Stock pledged
pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, Liens permitted by Section 8.3). 
  
 (b) Each of the Mortgages is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a legally valid and enforceable Lien on the Mortgaged Properties described therein and proceeds
thereof, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors rights generally or by general principles of equity, and when the Mortgages are properly filed in the offices specified on Schedule 5.19(b),
each such Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Properties and the 

  

 52 

 
proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the relevant Mortgage), in each case prior and superior to all other Liens except any Liens
permitted by Section 8.3. Schedule 1.1 lists, as of the Closing Date, each parcel of owned real property and each leasehold interest in real property located in the United States and held by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that has a value,
in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower, in excess of $2,500,000. 
  
 5.20. Solvency. Each Loan Party is, and after giving effect to the Acquisition and the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith and therewith will be, Solvent. 
  
 5.21. Senior Indebtedness. The Obligations constitute “Senior
Debt” and “Designated Senior Debt” of the Borrower under and as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture. The obligations of each Guarantor under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement constitute “Senior Debt” of
such Guarantor under and as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture. 
  
 5.22. Regulation H. No Mortgage encumbers improved real property that is located in an area that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards and
in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968. 
  
 5.23. Certain Documents. The Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a certified, complete and correct copy of the Acquisition Documents
and the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture, including any amendments, supplements or modifications with respect to any of the foregoing. 
  
 SECTION 6. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the
request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower declare the Revolving Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Revolving Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of
the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable
forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower
shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by
the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other Obligations of
the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations 

  

 77 

 
shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance,
if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower or as otherwise required by applicable law. Except as expressly provided above in this Section 9, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrower. 
  
 SECTION 10. THE AGENTS 
  
 10.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and
appoints each Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes such Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. 
  
 10.2. Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care. 
  
 10.3. Exculpatory
Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any
Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. 

 
 10.4. Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by 

  

 78 

 
the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by such Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative
Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The
Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and
such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. 
  
 10.5. Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless
such Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent
receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or,
if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may
(but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 
  
 10.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of
the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly
required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the 

  

 79 

 
business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may
come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 
  
 10.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without
limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 10.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date
upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any
way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted
by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall survive
the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  
 10.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to
its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity. 
  
 10.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the
Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent
shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 9(a) or Section 9(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon
such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former
Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the
Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of 

  

 80 

 
resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall assume and perform all
of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Either Co-Syndication Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent, resign as a Co-Syndication Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of a Co-Syndication Agent hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the non-resigning Co-Syndication
Agent or, if there is only one Co-Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by such Co-Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative
Agent, the provisions of Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 10.10. Agents Generally. Except as expressly set forth herein, no
Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such. 
  
 10.11. The Lead Arranger. The Lead Arranger, in its capacity as such, shall have no duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under this Agreement and other Loan Documents. 
  
 10.12. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law,
the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from
amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption
from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any
penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. 
  
 SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 11.1. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or
modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan
Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such
instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall
(i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled 

  

 81 

 
date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Tranche B Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any
interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates, which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders of each adversely affected
Facility and (y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of
any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any
Lender under this Section 11.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or, except as set forth in Section 11.14, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; (iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such Facility; (v)
amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10 without the written consent of each Agent adversely affected thereby; (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3.3 or 3.4 without the written consent of the Swingline Lender; or (vii)
amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 3.7 to 3.14 without the written consent of the Issuing Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon
the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the consent of the Required Lenders
(except that the consent of Required Lenders shall not be required for any increase in the Revolving Facility permitted by Section 3.15 or in connection with technical and conforming amendments entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent as appropriate, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent, to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.15), this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional
credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
with the Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

  
 In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may
be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Tranche B Term Loans (“Refinanced
Term Loans”) with a replacement “B” term loan tranche hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”); provided, that (a) the aggregate principal amount of 

  

 82 

 
such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement
Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced
Term Loans at the time of such refinancing and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such
Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Tranche B Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

 11.3. No Waiver; Cumulative
Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or

cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 
  
 11.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in
connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder. 
  
 11.5. Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse each Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the
consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to such Agent and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing
to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as such Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or
reimburse each Lender and Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including
the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to 

  

 84 

 
such Agent, and (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, trustees, advisors,
agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the
Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims,
actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (c), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation
hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its
Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to
Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 11.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 11.5 shall be submitted to the Borrower, at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 11.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative
Agent. The agreements in this Section 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  
 11.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. 
  
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns (including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with
this Section 11.6. 
  
 (b) Subject to the conditions set forth in
paragraph (c) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time
owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of: 
  
 (i) the Borrower; provided, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for (w) an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined below), (x) an assignment of Tranche B Term Loans, (y) any assignments by the Administrative Agent or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, an assignment to any other Person; and

  

 85 

 (ii) the Administrative Agent; provided, that no consent of the Administrative
Agent shall be required for an assignment to an Assignee that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, except in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Commitment to an Assignee that does not already have a Revolving
Commitment or hold Tranche B Term Loans. 
  
 (c) Assignments shall
be subject to the following additional conditions: 
  
 (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the
Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless
each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided, that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in
respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 
  
 (ii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption; 
  
 (iii) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire; and

  
 (iv) in the case of an assignment to a
Non-U.S. Lender, such Non-U.S. Lender shall have delivered the forms contemplated by Section 4.10(d). 
  
 For the purposes of this Section 11.6, the terms “Approved Fund” and “CLO” have the following meanings: 
  
 “Approved Fund” means (a) a CLO and (b)
with respect to any Lender that is a fund which invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any other fund that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor as such
Lender or by an affiliate of such investment advisor. 
  
 “CLO” means any entity (whether a corporation, partnership, trust or otherwise) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of
its business and is administered or managed by a Lender or an affiliate of such Lender. 
  
 (d) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraphs (e) and (f) of this Section 11.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a
party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights 

  

 86 

 
and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10,
4.11 and 11.5. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 11.6. 
  
 (e) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries
in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of
this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  
 (f) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed
by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 11.6,
the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as
provided in this paragraph. 
  
 (g) (i) Any Lender may, without
the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; provided, that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby
pursuant to clause (i) of the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (g)(ii) of this Section 11.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 11.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 11.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled

  

 87 

 
to the benefits of Section 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

  
 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 4.9, 4.10 or 4.11 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.10 unless such Participant complies with Section 4.10(d). 
  
 (h) 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, and this Section 11.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a
security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
  
 (i) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender,
agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above. 
  
 (j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without
the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6(c). Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit
Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full
of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost,
damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. 
  
 11.7. Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or
to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 9, receive any
payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9(f), or otherwise), in a
greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest
in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such
collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such 

  

 88 

 
excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits
returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 
  
 (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being
expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply
against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
  
 11.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of
separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
  
 11.9. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 11.10.
Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings,
representations or warranties by any Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 
  
 11.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT

 (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such

 (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any
substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower, as the case may be at its address set forth in Section 11.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; 
  
 (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of
process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and 
  
 (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this
Section 11.12 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations or releasing any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited
by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 11.1 or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below.

no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the

 The Applicable Margin for Tranche B

 SECTION 2. GUARANTEE

severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance
by the Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations. 
  
 (b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor 

  

 5 

 
under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2).

  
 (c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower
Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of any Agent or any Lender hereunder.

  
 (d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2
shall remain in full force and effect until all the Borrower Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall be
outstanding and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Borrower Obligations. 
  
 (e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors,
any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Agent or any Lender from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other 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 Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such
payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the
maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Borrower Obligations are paid in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated. 
  
 2.2 Rights of Reimbursement, Contribution and Subrogation. In case any payment is made on account of the Obligations
by any Guarantor or is received or collected on account of the Obligations from any Guarantor or its property: 
  
 (a) If such payment is made by the Borrower or Holdings (in each case) or from its property, then if and to the extent such payment is
made on account of Obligations arising from or relating to a Loan made to the Borrower or a Letter of Credit issued for account of the Borrower, neither the Borrower nor Holdings shall be entitled (A) to demand or enforce reimbursement or
contribution in respect of such payment from each other or from any other Guarantor or (B) to be subrogated to any claim, interest, right or remedy of any Secured Party against any other Person, including each other or any other Guarantor or its
property. Any such payment by Holdings shall constitute a contribution to the common equity of the Borrower. 
  
 (b) If such payment is made by a Guarantor or from its property, such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon payment in full in
cash of the Obligations, (A) to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from the Borrower and (B) to demand and enforce contribution in respect of such payment from each other Guarantor which has not paid its fair share
of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to any enforcement of reimbursement rights provided hereby) each Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment. For this purpose, the fair share of each
Guarantor 

  

 6 

 
as to any unreimbursed payment shall be determined based on an equitable apportionment of such unreimbursed payment among all Guarantors based on the
relative value of their assets and any other equitable considerations deemed appropriate by the court. 
  
 (c) If and whenever (after payment in full in cash of the Obligations) any right of reimbursement or contribution becomes enforceable by
any Guarantor against any other Guarantor under Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b), such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations, to be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Guarantors entitled to
reimbursement or contribution from any other Guarantor as set forth in this Section 2.2) to any security interest that may then be held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral granted to it in this Agreement. Such right of subrogation shall
be enforceable solely against the Guarantors, and not against the Secured Parties, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to
obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any Collateral for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation. If subrogation is demanded by any Guarantor, then (after payment in full in cash of the Obligations) the Administrative Agent
shall deliver to the Guarantors making such demand, or to a representative of such Guarantors or of the Guarantors generally, an instrument satisfactory to the Administrative Agent transferring, on a quitclaim basis without any recourse,
representation, warranty or obligation whatsoever, whatever security interest the Administrative Agent then may hold in whatever Collateral may then exist that was not previously released or disposed of by the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (d) All rights and claims arising under this Section 2.2 or
based upon or relating to any other right of reimbursement, indemnification, contribution or subrogation that may at any time arise or exist in favor of any Guarantor as to any payment on account of the Obligations made by it or received or
collected from its property shall be fully subordinated in all respects to the prior payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations. Until payment in full in cash of the Obligations, no Guarantor shall demand or receive any collateral security,
payment or distribution whatsoever (whether in cash, property or securities or otherwise) on account of any such right or claim. If any such payment or distribution is made or becomes available to any Guarantor in any bankruptcy case or
receivership, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, such payment or distribution shall be delivered by the person making such payment or distribution directly to the Administrative Agent, for application to the payment of the Obligations. If any
such payment or distribution is received by any Guarantor, it shall be held by such Guarantor in trust, as trustee of an express trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be transferred and delivered by such Guarantor to the
Administrative Agent, in the exact form received and, if necessary, duly endorsed. 
  
 (e) The obligations of the Guarantors under the Loan Documents, including their liability for the Obligations and the enforceability of
the security interests granted thereby, are not contingent upon the validity, legality, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation arising under this Section 2.2. The invalidity,
insufficiency, unenforceability or uncollectibility of any such right shall not in any respect diminish, affect or impair any such obligation or any other claim, interest, right or remedy at any time held by any Secured Party against any Guarantor
or its property. The Secured Parties make no representations or warranties in respect of any such right and shall have 

  

 7 

 
no duty to assure, protect, enforce or ensure any such right or otherwise relating to any such right. 
  
 Each Guarantor reserves any and all other rights of reimbursement,
contribution or subrogation at any time available to it as against any other Guarantor, but (i) the exercise and enforcement of such rights shall be subject to Section 2.2(d) and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party
shall ever have any duty or liability whatsoever in respect of any such right, except as provided in Section 2.2(c). 
  
 2.3 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any
reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations made by any Secured Party may be rescinded by such Secured Party and any of the Borrower
Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in
part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection
therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, from time to time in accordance with the respective terms thereof, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Secured Party
for the payment of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower
Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto. 
  
 2.4 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower
Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to
have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured
Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) diligence,
presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this
Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (1) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or any other
collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party, (2) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any
time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against any Secured Party, or (3) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be
construed to constitute, an equitable or legal 

  

 8 

 
discharge of the Borrower for the Borrower Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other
instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and
remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Secured Party to
make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset,
or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the
rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof ”demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

  
 2.5 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this
Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any
Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 
  
 2.6 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in
Dollars in immediately available funds at the Funding Office specified in the Credit Agreement.

 Each Grantor hereby assigns and transfers to the Administrative Agent, and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, all of the following property now owned or at any
time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Collateral”), as collateral security for the prompt and complete

such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any Requirements of Law of a Governmental Authority, requires a consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to such Requirement of Law or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or
default under or results in the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such property or, in the case of any Investment Property, Pledged
Stock or Pledged Note, any applicable shareholder or similar agreement, except to the extent that such Requirement of Law or the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document or shareholder or similar agreement providing

substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of the Pledged Stock, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the Secured Parties, hold the same in trust for the Secured Parties and
deliver the same forthwith to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required, together with an undated stock or unit power covering such certificate duly executed in blank
by such Grantor and with, if the Administrative Agent so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Administrative Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. If an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, any sums paid upon or in respect of the Investment Property upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the
Obligations. In case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Investment Property or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Investment Property pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of

permitted by the Credit Agreement), (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the Liens
created by this Agreement and as permitted in the Credit Agreement, or (iv) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds
thereof, except for any rights of first refusal, rights of first offer, purchase options, drag-along rights, tag-along rights and other similar restrictions that are generally applicable to Capital Stock issued by a Person which is not a Subsidiary
of Holdings and that do not restrict the foreclosure of a security interest in such Capital Stock.

to the Investment Property issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the Administrative Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 5.8(a)

manner that could adversely affect the value thereof, in each case, without the consent of the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (b) Such Grantor will deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of each material demand, notice or document received by it that questions
or calls into doubt the validity or enforceability of more than 10% of the aggregate amount of the then outstanding Receivables.

 (a) Such Grantor will perform and comply in all material
respects with all its obligations under the Contracts. 
  
 (b) Such Grantor will not amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of any Contract in any manner which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the value of such Contract as Collateral.

will deliver to the Administrative Agent (if requested) a copy of each demand, notice or document received by it relating in any way to any material Contract that questions the validity or enforceability of such Contract. 
  
 5.11 Intellectual Property. (a) Such Grantor (either itself or through
licensees) will (i) continue to use each material Trademark on each and every trademark class of goods applicable to its current line as reflected in its current catalogs, brochures and price lists in order to maintain such Trademark in full force

do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby such Trademark may become invalidated or impaired in any way. 
  
 (b) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any material Patent may become
forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public. 
  
 (c) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not (and will not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material portion of the Copyrights may become invalidated or
otherwise impaired. Such Grantor will not (either itself or through licensees) do any act whereby any material portion of the Copyrights may fall into the public domain. 
  
 (d) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act that knowingly uses any material
Intellectual Property to infringe the intellectual property rights of any other Person. 
  
 (e) Such Grantor will notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders immediately if it knows, or has reason to know, that any application
or registration relating to any material Intellectual Property, except those that, in such Grantor’s commercially reasonable judgment, have no substantial value, may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse
determination or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court or
tribunal in any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, or the validity of, any material Intellectual Property or such Grantor’s right to register the same or to own and maintain the same.

agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other
country or any political subdivision thereof, such Grantor shall 

  

 19 

 
report such filing to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs. Upon request of
the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in any
Copyright, Patent or Trademark and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby. 
  
 (g) Such Grantor will take all reasonable and necessary steps, including, without limitation, in any proceeding before the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or group of countries or any political subdivision of any of the foregoing, to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain
the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of the material Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability, other than those
applications that, in such Grantor’s commercially reasonable judgment, do not have substantial value.

upon its becoming aware thereof (i) take such actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property and (ii) if such Intellectual Property is of material economic value, promptly
notify the Administrative Agent after it learns thereof and at the written request of the Administrative Agent initiate proceedings with respect to such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, to seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to

 SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS 
  
 6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and
through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Administrative Agent may require in connection with such test verifications. At any time and from time to time after
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request and at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause independent public accountants or others reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent to furnish to the Administrative Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables. 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables, and
the Administrative Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the
Administrative Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, 

  

 20 

 
subject to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over,
shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the
payments included in the deposit. 
  
 (c) After
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Administrative Agent’s request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and
transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts. 
  
 6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. (a) The Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time
after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and after prior written notice of such action to the relevant Grantors communicate with obligors under the Receivables and parties to the Contracts to verify with them to the
Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables or Contracts. 
  
 (b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each
Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables and parties to the Contracts that the Receivables and the Contracts have been assigned to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof
shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables and Contracts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all
in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the
receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or
Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any
performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times. 
  
 6.3 Pledged Stock. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given at least two
Business Days’ prior written notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect
of the Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, in each case to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with respect to the Investment
Property; provided, however, that (i) no vote shall be cast or corporate or other organizational right 

  

 21 

 
exercised or other action taken which would be materially inconsistent with or result in any material violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) the Administrative Agent can demand, receive and retain all amounts that may be due or demanded thereafter whenever any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. So long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to such Grantor all such proxies, dividend payments orders and other instruments as such Grantor may from
time to time reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights when and to the extent which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this clause (a) and to receive dividends, principal and
interest payments which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to this clause (a). 
  
 (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall give at least two Business Days’ prior
written notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property
(except payments permitted under Section 8.6(c) of the Credit Agreement) and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 6.5, and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the
Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (1) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or
Issuers or otherwise and (2) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the
right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the
exercise by any Grantor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee,
depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent
shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. 
  

(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply
with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (1) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further
instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property
directly to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 6.4 Proceeds to be
Turned Over to Administrative Agent. In addition to the rights of the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor
consisting of 

  

 22 

 
cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and
shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required). Upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, all Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the
Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section
6.5. 
  
 6.5 Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as
may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of
Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, in payment of the Obligations in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and any part of such funds which the Administrative Agent elects not so to apply and
deems not required as collateral security for the Obligations shall be paid over from time to time by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining
after the Obligations (other than obligations under or in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements, contingent indemnification obligations and expense reimbursement obligations not yet due and payable) shall have been paid in full in cash, no Letters
of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have terminated shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. 
  
 6.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on
behalf of the Lenders, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured
party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any
kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived to the extent not prohibited by applicable law), may in such
circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part
thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem
reasonably advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Any Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent
permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released to the extent not
prohibited by applicable law. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select,
whether 

  

 23 

 
at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6,
after deducting all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and only
after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the
surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice
of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. 
  
 6.7 Registration Rights. (a) If the Administrative Agent shall
determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 6.6, and if in the opinion of the Administrative Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered
under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or
cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be
sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. In connection with the foregoing clauses (i)-(iii), each Grantor agrees to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all
jurisdictions which the Administrative Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act. 
  
 (b) Each Grantor recognizes
that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort
to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.
Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to
have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for
public sale 

  

 24 

 
under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so. 
  
 (c) Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable
efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable
Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such
breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and agrees not to assert
any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement. 
  
 6.8 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition
of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency. 
  
 SECTION 7. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
  
 7.1 Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.
(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any authorized officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in
the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which
may be reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without
notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following: 
  
 (i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable
or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such
moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; 
  
 (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and
papers as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby; 
  

 25 

 (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the
Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; 
  
 (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6 or 6.7, any indorsements, assignments
or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and 
  
 (v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due
thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in
respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection
with any of the Collateral;(4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any
Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as
the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such
conditions, and in such manner, as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely
as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative
Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

  
 Anything in this Section 7.1 (a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
  
 (b) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, if any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or
compliance, with such agreement. 
  
 (c) The
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then
be payable on past due Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans under the Credit 

  

 26 

 
Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Grantor to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by
such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand. 
  
 (d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this
Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released. 
  
 7.2 Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New
York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. No Secured Party or any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for
failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other
action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured
Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
  
 7.3 Filing of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing
statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security
interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to use the collateral description “all personal property” in any such financing statements. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and
authorizes the filing by the Administrative Agent of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof. 
  
 7.4 Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising
out of this Agreement shall, as between the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors,
the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry
respecting such authority. 
  

 27 

 SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement. 
  
 8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided,
that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1 or such other address specified in writing to the Administrative Agent in accordance with
Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement. 
  
 8.3 No Waiver by
Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have
acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights
or remedies provided by law. 
  
 8.4 Enforcement Expenses;
Indemnification. (a) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, or reimburse each Secured Party for, all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise
enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of
in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (b) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which
may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  

(c) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrower would be
required to do so pursuant to Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement. 
  
 (d) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  

 28 

 8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of
each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent. 
  
 8.6 Set-Off. Each
Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law),
to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute
or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations
and liabilities of such Grantor to such Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document,
as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such
set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Secured Party may have. 
  
 8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including
by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. 
  
 8.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction. 
  
 8.9 Section Headings. The
Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof. 
  
 8.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Grantors and the Secured
Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Grantor or Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or
referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 
  

 29 

 8.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
  
 8.12
Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 
  
 (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which
it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York,
and appellate courts from any thereof; 
  
 (b)
consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; 
  
 (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such
Grantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; 
  
 (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the
right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and 
  
 (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. 
  
 8.13 Acknowledgements. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:

  
 (a) it has been advised by counsel in the
negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party; 
  
 (b) no Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and 
  
 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan
Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Grantors and the Secured Parties. 
  
 8.14 Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.10 of the
Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto. 
  

 30 

 8.15 Releases. (a) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other
Obligations (other than obligations under or in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements, contingent indemnification obligations and expense reimbursement obligations not yet due and payable) shall have been paid in full in cash, the Commitments have
been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the
Administrative Agent, each Guarantor and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole
expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent hereunder, and promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such
Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. 
  
 (b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of
such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral. At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be released from this Agreement and its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit
Agreement; provided, that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor and the
terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof, together with a certification by the Borrower stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

THEREIN. 
  
 8.17 Judgment Currency. (a) If for the
purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be
that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency in the city in which it normally conducts its foreign exchanges operation for the first currency on the
Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given. 
  
 (b) The obligation of each Grantor in respect of any sum due from it to any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such
sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender of any
sum adjudged to be so 

  

 31 

 
due in the Judgment Currency such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the
amount of Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the Agreement Currency, such Grantor agrees notwithstanding any such judgment to indemnify such Lender against such loss, and if the amount of the
Agreement Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender, such Lender agrees to remit to such Grantor such excess.
