proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be made immediately available by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender for application by the Swing Line Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swing Line Loans. 
 (c) If prior to the time a Revolving Credit Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.7(a), one of the events described in
Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Credit Loans may not be made as contemplated by
Section 2.7(a), each Revolving Credit Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(a) (the “Refunding Date”), purchase for cash an undivided
participating interest in the then outstanding Swing Line Loans by paying to the Swing Line Lender an amount (the “Swing Line Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage
times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding which were to have been repaid with such Revolving Credit Loans. 
 (d) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s Swing Line Participation Amount, the Swing Line 

 28 

 
Lender receives any payment on account of the Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swing Line Participation Amount
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest 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 Swing Line Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the
Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender. 
 (e) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(a) and to purchase participating interests pursuant
to Section 2.7(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender or the
Borrower may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified
in Section 5; (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 Credit Lender;
or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
 2.8 Repayment of
Loans; Evidence of Debt . (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as the case may be, (i) the then unpaid
principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Revolving Credit Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8), (ii) the then unpaid
principal amount of each Swing Line Loan of such Swing Line Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8) and (iii) the then unpaid principal
amount of each Term Loan of such Term Loan Lender on the Term Loan Maturity Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.15. 
 (b) 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. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(c), 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. 
  

 29 

 (d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to
Section 2.8(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request by the Administrative Agent as a result of a
request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, of such
Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit F-1, F-2 or F-3, respectively (a “Term Note”, “Revolving Credit Note” or “Swing Line Note”, respectively), with appropriate insertions as to date
and principal amount; provided, that delivery of Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the occurrence of the Closing Date or the making of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit on the Closing Date. 
 2.9 Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a
commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit 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 Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Closing
Date. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents the fees in the amounts and on the dates
previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Syndication Agent. 
 (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. 
 2.10
Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time,
to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving
Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple
thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. 
  

 30 

 2.11 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 (except as otherwise provided herein), upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 A.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, one Business Day prior thereto in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether such prepayment is of Term Loans or
Revolving Credit Loans, and whether such prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided, that (i) 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 2.21 and (ii) no prior notice is required for the prepayment of Swing Line Loans. 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 Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans) accrued
interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount or integral to
repay such Loan in full). Partial prepayments of Swing Line Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount or integral to repay such Loan in full). 
 2.12 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall issue debt securities or instruments pursuant to a public
offering or private placement (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2), then on the next Business Day following such issuance, the Term Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds
of such issuance (or such lesser amount to repay the Term Loans in full). The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the incurrence of any Indebtedness by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries not permitted under
Section 7.2. 
 (b) If on any date the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or
Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, then on the next Business Day following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Term Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash
Proceeds (or such lesser amount to repay the Term Loans in full); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales and Recovery Events that may be excluded from the foregoing requirement
pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice shall not exceed $25,000,000 in any fiscal year of the Borrower and (ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date the Term Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with
respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event. The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 7.5. 
 (c) If, for any fiscal year of the Borrower commencing with the fiscal year ending December 27, 2007, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, then, on the
relevant Excess Cash Flow 

  

 31 

 
Application Date, the Term Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow (or such lesser amount to repay the Term
Loans in full). 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 earlier of (i) the date on which the financial statements
of the Borrower referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the date such financial statements are actually delivered. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans shall not be required to the extent such prepayment would
result in a taxable gain for US Federal income tax purposes at such time to any member of the Borrower as a direct result thereof, with any limitations in the prepayment being supported by reasonably detailed calculations presented to the
Administrative Agent within five Business Days of the date on which such prepayment would otherwise be due. 
 2.13 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 at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided
that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may be made only 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 at
least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a
Eurodollar Loan (i) 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
conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

 (b) The Borrower may elect to continue any Eurodollar Loan as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect
thereto by 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
Loan, provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) 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 or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility, 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 converted automatically to Base Rate
Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. 
 2.14 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, 
  

 32 

 
continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods 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 $500,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more
than twelve Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time. 
 2.15 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each
Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest 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 in effect for such day. 
 (b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for such day
plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day. 
 (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), such overdue amount (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (x) in the case
of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving
Credit Facility plus 2%, 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% (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 Credit Facility plus 2%), 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 (after as well 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 shall be payable from time to time on demand (i) on the same Business Day if demand is made by the Administrative Agent on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time and
(ii) on the next Business Day if demand is made by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m., New York City time. 
 2.16 Computation
of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest, fees and commissions 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 on which interest 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. 

 33 

 (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 2.15(a). 
 2.17 Inability to Determine Interest Rate.
If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination
shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the 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 with respect thereto, 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. 
 2.18 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 or Letter of Credit fee, and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders, shall be made pro rata according to the
respective Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Each payment of interest in respect of the Loans and each payment in respect of fees payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of
such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders. 
 (b) Each
mandatory prepayment required by Section 2.12 to be applied to Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loan Facilities pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of Term Loans under such Facilities.
Each optional prepayment in respect of the Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loan Facilities in accordance with the Borrower’s instructions. Each payment on account of principal of the Term Loans outstanding under the Term Loan
Facility shall be allocated among the Term Loan Lenders holding such Term Loans pro rata based on the principal amount of such Term Loans held by such Term Loan Lenders. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be
reborrowed. 
  

 34 

 (c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of the Revolving
Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of
any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letter of Credit. 
 (d) The application of any payment of Loans
under any Facility (including optional and mandatory prepayments) shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans under such Facility and, second, to Eurodollar Loans under such Facility. Each payment of the Loans (except in the case of Swing
Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid. 
 (e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to
2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Any payment made by the Borrower after 2:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been on the next following Business Day. 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. 
 (f) 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 after 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 

  

 35 

 
under the relevant Facility, on demand from the Borrower (i) on the same Business Day if demand is made by the Administrative Agent on or prior to 11:00
a.m., New York City time and (ii) on the next Business Day if demand is made by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m., New York City time. 
 (g) 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. 
 (h) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of payments on behalf of Lenders, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments to the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto, in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent receives any payment (whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise) (the amount of such payment, the “Payment Amount”) for the account of any Lender (whether in such
Lender’s capacity as a Term Loan Lender, Revolving Credit Lender or L/C Participant), and at the time of such receipt such Lender, in its capacity as L/C Participant, is in default in any of its obligations pursuant to Section 3.4(a) (the
amount of such obligations in default, the “Defaulted Amount”), the Administrative Agent may withhold from the Payment Amount an amount up to the Defaulted Amount, and apply the amount so withheld toward payment to the relevant
Issuing Lender of the Defaulted Amount or, if applicable, toward reimbursement of any other Person that has previously reimbursed such Issuing Lender for the Defaulted Amount. 
 2.19 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) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof: 
 (i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or
any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.20 and except for any tax on the overall net income of such Lender); 

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held
by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account 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 
  

 36 

 (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (except for Non-Excluded Taxes
covered by Section 2.20 and except for any tax on the overall net income of such Lender); 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender 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 Section, 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 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) 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) 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 Lender shall be required to submit a certificate as to any additional amounts
payable pursuant to this Section and any such certificate 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, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 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
therefore; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, 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 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 2.20
Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower 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 net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net 
  

 37 

 
income taxes) imposed on any Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former (or, in the case of U.S. net income taxes and U.S. franchise taxes
imposed in lieu of U.S. net income taxes, present, former or future) 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’s or such Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any
such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or any 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 (i) that are attributable to
such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section or (ii) 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 (a).

 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 (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 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. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder. 
 (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 or Form W-8ECI, 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 

  

 38 

 
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. 
 (e) If an Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a
refund of any 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 2.20, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.20 with respect to the 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 the relevant Agent or 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 Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority). This
Section 2.20(e) shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person.

 2.21 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, 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 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 or
conversion 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 Lender shall be required to submit a certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section and any such certificate 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. 
  

 39 

 2.22 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, then, upon notice by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent), (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled 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 2.21.

 2.23 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of
Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22 with respect to such Lender, it will 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 no such designation shall be required unless such designation can be 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, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.22.

 2.24 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that
(a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20 or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.22 or (b) defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder (a “Defaulting Lender”),
with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to
any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.23 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20 or to eliminate the illegality referred to in such notice
of illegality given pursuant to Section 2.22, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall
be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.21 (as though Section 2.21 were applicable) if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto,
(vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20, as
the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such replacement shall be consummated, and (ix) 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. 
  

 40 

 2.25 Incremental Credit Extensions. (a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time
after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request (a) one or more additional tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Term
Loans”) or (b) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”), provided that both at the time of any such request and upon
the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below (i) all representations and warranties in Section 4 shall be true and correct in all material respects, (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or would result
therefrom and (iii) the pro forma Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall not be greater than 5.50 to
1.00. 
 (b) Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans and each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount
that is a whole multiple of $5,000,000 which is not less than $25,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $25,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence) and there shall be
not more than four requests for Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitment Increases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans and the aggregate amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitment Increases shall not exceed $200,000,000. 
 (c) The Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the
Revolving Credit Commitment Increases (a) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans, (b) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, shall not mature earlier than
the Term Loan Maturity Date or have a weighted average life which is shorter than the than the remaining average life of the Term Loans and (c) except as set forth above, shall be treated substantially the same as or less favorably than the
Term Loans or the Revolving Credit Loans, as the case may be (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments and voting rights), provided that the interest rates applicable to the Incremental Term Loans shall be
determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereof so long as the applicable margin with respect to such Incremental Term Loans is not more than 0.25% higher than the Applicable Margin for the Term Loan Facility. 
 (d) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.25 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental
Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitment Increases. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Revolving Credit Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender or by any other bank or other financial institution selected by the Borrower
(any such bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”), provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional
Lender’s providing any such Revolving Credit Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 10.1 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of
Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Credit Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable
Revolving Credit Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an 

  

 41 

 
“Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to
provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.25. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date
thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term
Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitment Increases for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitment Increases, unless it so agrees. Upon each
increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.25, each Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion
of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (each a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be
deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations,
the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Revolving Credit Lender (including each such Revolving Credit Commitment
Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Credit Lenders represented by such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (b) if, on the date of such increase,
there are any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Additional Lenders) shall make such payments as directed by the Administrative Agent in order that the Revolving Credit Loans are held by the Revolving
Credit Lenders (including Additional Lenders) ratably in accordance with the increased Revolving Credit Commitments (and interest and other payments shall be adjusted accordingly). 
 (e) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements
contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.25. 
 (f) This
Section 2.25 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or 10.1 to the contrary. 
 SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

 3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the
other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4, agrees to issue letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in such form
as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided, that no Issuing Lender shall have any 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 
  

 42 

 
Available Revolving Credit 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 which is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit 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). 
 (b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable
Requirement of Law. 
 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing
Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers
and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Concurrently with the delivery of an Application to an Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall deliver a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Application, an 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
by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than
three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto). Promptly after issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender
shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (including the face amount thereof), and
shall provide a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent as soon as possible after the date of issuance. 
 3.3 Fees and
Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of 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
Credit Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower
shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it at a rate per annum to be agreed upon by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower, payable
quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. 
 (b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay
or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

  

 43 

 3.4 L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants
to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions
hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued
by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by
such Issuing Lender for which such 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 for the account of such Issuing Lender upon demand
at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such
draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount 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 may have against the Issuing 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 5, (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 (a “Participation Amount”) required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made
by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the L/C
Participants, and each L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, on demand (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of
(i) such Participation Amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such
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 Participation Amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant
to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Administrative Agent on behalf of such
Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such Participation 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 Administrative Agent submitted on behalf of an Issuing Lender to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
  

 44 

 (c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has
received from the Administrative Agent any L/C Participant’s pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such 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 such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Participant
(and thereafter the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to such L/C Participant) its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be
returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly return to such Issuing Lender) the portion thereof
previously distributed by such Issuing Lender. 
 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall notify the
Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender. The Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender (x) on the same Business Day if demand is made by the Issuing Lender on or prior to
11:00 a.m., New York City time and (y) on the next Business Day if demand is made by the Issuing Lender after 11:00 a.m., New York City time, for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other
out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, other than taxes (i) based upon net income or (ii) payable pursuant to Section 2.20 (the amounts described in the foregoing
clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of
America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the
applicable drawing, Section 2.15(a) and (ii) thereafter, Section Section 2.15(b). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) shall have
occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.4 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing
pursuant to Section 2.5 of Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.7 of Swing Line Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The
Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (or, if applicable, Swing Line Loans) could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5 (or, if applicable, Section 2.7), if the
Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the relevant Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit. 
 3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 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 any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person; provided, however, that nothing in this
Section 3.6 shall constitute a waiver of any remedies of the Borrower in connection with the Letters of Credit. The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s
Reimbursement Obligations 

  

 45 

 
under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though
such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between 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. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice,
however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower. 
 3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in addition to any
payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, shall be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment
appear on their face to be in conformity with such Letter of Credit. 
 3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any
Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of Sections 3 through 8 of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply. 
 SECTION 4. 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: 
 4.1 Financial Condition. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Holdings as at September 28, 2006 (including the notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”) and the
unaudited pro forma statement of operations of Holdings for the nine month period ending on such date (the “Pro Forma Statement of Operations”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Administrative Agent, have been prepared
assuming that the transactions discussed in the section of the Final Prospectus entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information” had been completed and the material changes to contractual arrangements discussed in such section of the
Final Prospectus, which will occur in connection with the completion of the offering and related transactions discussed in such section of the Final Prospectus, had become effective, in each case as of September 28, 2006 (with respect to the
Pro Forma Balance Sheet) and as of the first day of such nine month period (with respect to the Pro Forma Statement of Operations), and were based upon assumptions which, in light of the 

  

 46 

 
circumstances under which they were prepared, were believed by the Borrower or Holdings in good faith to be reasonable (it being understood that such
projections are by their nature inherently uncertain and actual results may differ materially from such projections). 
 The Pro Forma
Balance Sheet and the Pro Forma Statement of Operations do not purport to reflect the results of operations or financial position of Holdings and the Borrower that would have occurred had they operated as separate, independent companies during the
periods presented. The historical results of operations of the Borrower have been significantly impacted by related party transactions. The pro forma consolidated financial information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the results of
operations or financial condition of Holdings or the Borrower had the contractual adjustments and the transaction adjustments referred to in the foregoing paragraph been completed on the first day of such nine month period, with respect to the Pro
Forma Statement of Operations, and as of September 28, 2006, with respect to the Pro Forma Balance Sheet. 
 (b) The audited
consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower as of December 29, 2005 and September 28, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity and of cash flows for the nine month periods ended on such dates,
reported on by and accompanied by a report from Deloitte & Touche LLP, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Administrative Agent, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower
and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective nine month periods then ended. 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 as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). 
 4.2 No Change. Since September 28, 2006 there has been no development or event that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.3 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the limited liability company or other organizational 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 limited liability company or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction
where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except, with respect to this clause (c), where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 4.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the limited liability company or other organizational power
and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary 

  

 47 

 
limited liability company or other 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 borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required on the part of or in
respect of any Loan Party in connection with the borrowings hereunder or the execution, delivery and performance by the Loan Parties party thereto of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) such consents, authorizations,
filings and notices as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the Borrowing Notices, Reinvestment Notices and any other notices required to be delivered by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (iii) the filings
referred to in Section 4.19 and any other filings necessary to perfect the Liens and security interests under the Security Documents and (iv) those consents, authorizations, filings, notices or actions, the failure of which to obtain or
make, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each existing Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document
upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a 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). 
 4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by the Loan Parties thereto, 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 the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as such may be applicable to or binding on each, 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 such Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security
Documents). 
 4.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, proceeding or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, investigation, of or before
any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of a Responsible Officer, threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries 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 would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.7 No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries 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, license of or right to use all its other Property, except to the extent failure
to have such title or valid leasehold interest in, license of or right to use such Property would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Collateral or other Material Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is
subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3. 
  

 48 

 4.9 Intellectual Property. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use,
or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, can acquire or license on reasonable terms, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. No claim that is likely to result in an adverse determination against the
Borrower and, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect has been asserted in writing and is pending against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries by any Person alleging an infringement by the Borrower
of such Person’s Intellectual Property or the validity of the Borrower’s right to use any of such Person’s Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. To the knowledge of the Borrower, the
use of such Intellectual Property by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the Intellectual Property rights of any Person in any material respect, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.10 Taxes. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has filed or
caused to be filed all Federal and other material tax returns that are required to be filed by it and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its Property and all other 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 which 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, or to the extent the failure to file or pay would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect); and 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. 
 4.11
Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the meanings of each such term 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. 
 4.12 Labor Matters. There are no strikes or other labor disputes against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of
the Borrower, threatened in writing that (individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation
of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries on account of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the
Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary. 
  

 49 

 4.13 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within
the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all
material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued
benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such 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
Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has incurred any withdrawal liability under Title IV of ERISA which remains unsatisfied that would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any withdrawal liability under ERISA that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect 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. 
 4.14 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. 
 4.15 Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries. 

4.16 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used for the purposes set forth in the recitals
hereof. The proceeds of the Swing Line Loans and the Letters of Credit, shall be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. 
 4.17 Environmental Matters. Other than exceptions to any of the following that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: 
 (a) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries: (i) are, and within the period of all applicable statutes of limitation have been, in
compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) hold all Environmental Permits (each of which is in full force and effect) required for any of their operations or for any property owned, leased, or otherwise operated by any of them;
(iii) are, and within the period of all applicable statutes of limitation have been, in compliance with all of their Environmental Permits; and (iv) reasonably believe that: each of their Environmental Permits will be timely renewed and
complied with; any additional Environmental Permits that are required of any of them will be timely obtained and complied with; and compliance with any Environmental Law that is applicable to any of them will be timely attained and maintained.

  

 50 

 (b) Materials of Environmental Concern are not present at, on, under, in, or about any
real property now or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or at any other location (including, without limitation, any location to which Materials of Environmental Concern have been sent for re-use or
recycling or for treatment, storage, or disposal) which would reasonably be expected to (i) give rise to liability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any applicable Environmental Law or otherwise result in costs to the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) interfere with the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ continued operations, or (iii) impair the fair saleable value of any real property owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries. 
 (c) There is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding (including any notice of violation or
alleged violation) under or relating to any Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is, or to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries will be, named as a party that is pending or, to the knowledge of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened in writing. 
 (d) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has
received any written request for information, or been notified that it is a potentially responsible party, in each case under or relating to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or any similar
Environmental Law, or with respect to any Materials of Environmental Concern. 
 (e) Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries has entered into or agreed to any consent decree, order, or settlement or other agreement, or is subject to any judgment, decree, or order or other agreement, in any judicial, administrative, arbitral, or other forum for dispute
resolution, relating to compliance with or liability under any Environmental Law. 
 (f) Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries has assumed or retained, by contract or operation of law, any liabilities of any kind, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, under any Environmental Law or with respect to any Material of Environmental Concern. 
 4.18 Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information (other than general market, industry or economic data) contained in this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, the Registration Statement or any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them, by or on behalf of any Loan Party for use in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, taken as a whole and in light of the circumstances under which they were made, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was made or so
furnished (or, in the case of the Registration Statement, as of the date such Registration Statement was filed with the SEC), any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading. The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon estimates and assumptions believed by the Borrower in good faith to be
reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial 

  

 51 

 
information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact, that projections by their nature are inherently uncertain, that actual results during
the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein and such differences may be material. 
 4.19 Security Documents. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable
security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of any Pledged Stock required to be pledged pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in which a security interest may be perfected only by possession
or control (within the meanings assigned to such terms in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code), when any stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral
described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement with respect to which perfection is governed by filing of a financing statement, when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19(a)(i) (which
financing statements have been duly completed and delivered to the Administrative Agent) [and such other filings as are specified on Schedule 3 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement have been completed], the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected security interest in (and, if applicable, Lien on), all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) to the extent such security interest can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement pursuant to the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or by possession or control by the Administrative Agent under the
applicable Uniform Commercial Code, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by Section 7.3, and, in the case of Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by
Section 7.3(a) to the extent such Liens are prior and superior to the Liens granted under the Security Documents by operation of law). Schedule 4.19(a)(ii) lists each UCC Financing Statement that (i) names any Loan Party as debtor and
(ii) will remain on file after the Closing Date. Schedule 4.19(a)(iii) lists each UCC Financing Statement that (i) names any Loan Party as debtor and (ii) will be terminated on or prior to the Closing Date. 
 (b) As of the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries owns any real property. 
 4.20 Solvency. Each Loan Party is, and after giving effect to the Transaction and the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being
incurred in connection herewith and therewith, and on each Borrowing Date thereafter will be, Solvent. 
 4.21 Certain Documents. The
Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a complete and correct copy of the ESAs, the Management Agreement and the Tax Receivable Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date, including any amendments, supplements or modifications with
respect to any of the foregoing through the Closing Date.

other agreements identified on Schedule 7.10 shall be permitted and (z) this Section 7.10 shall not prohibit or prevent the making of Restricted Payments under Section 7.6, the making of Investments permitted by

 7.12 Limitation on Changes in Fiscal Periods. Permit the fiscal year of the Borrower to end on a day other

Borrower gives the Administrative Agent prior written notice thereof.

agreement that prohibits or limits the ability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its Property or revenues, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to secure the Obligations
or, in the case of any guarantor, its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, other than (a) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) any agreements governing any purchase money Liens or Capital Lease Obligations

 7.15 Limitation on Lines of Business. Enter into any business, either directly or through any Subsidiary, except for those businesses in which the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are engaged on the date of this Agreement or that are

 (b) any representation or
warranty made or deemed made by any Loan Party herein or in any other Loan Document or that is contained in any certificate, document or written financial or other statement furnished by it at any time under or in connection with this Agreement or

 (c)(i) any Loan Party shall default in the observance or performance of any agreement contained in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 6.4(a) (with respect to the Borrower only), Section 6.7(a) or

(5) Business Days after a Responsible Officer knows or has reason to know of such non-consensual Lien), or in Section 5.1 (but only to the extent relating to Sections of the Credit Agreement specified in this Section 8(c)), 5.3(a),
5.3(b), 5.5(a), 5.6, 5.8(b) or 5.10(d) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or (ii) an “Event of Default” under and as defined in any Mortgage shall have occurred and be continuing; or

the Required Lenders and (ii) the date on which a Responsible Officer knows of such default; or 
 (e) The Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries shall (i) default in making any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Indebtedness (including, without limitation, any Guarantee Obligation, but excluding the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and guaranties
thereof) beyond the period of grace, if any, provided in the instrument or agreement under which such Indebtedness was created; or (ii) default in the observance or performance of any other agreement or condition relating to any such
Indebtedness or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or any other event shall occur or condition exist, the effect of which default or other event or condition is to cause, or to permit the holder or
beneficiary of such Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or beneficiary) to cause, with the giving of notice if required, such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity or to become subject to a mandatory offer
to purchase by the obligor thereunder or (in the case of any such Indebtedness constituting a Guarantee Obligation) to become payable; provided, that a default, event or condition described in clause (i) or (ii) of this
paragraph (e) shall not at any time constitute an Event of Default unless, at such time, one or more defaults, events or conditions of the type described in clauses (i) or (ii) of this paragraph (e) shall have occurred and be
continuing with respect to Indebtedness the outstanding principal amount of which exceeds in the aggregate $25,000,000; or 
  

 73 

 (f)(i) The Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall commence any case, proceeding
or other action (A) under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking
to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its debts, or (B) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee,

60 days from the entry thereof; or (iv) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in clause (i), (ii), or

 (g)(i) any Person shall engage in any “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code) involving any Plan, (ii) any “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA), whether or not waived, shall exist with respect to any Plan, or any Lien in favor of the PBGC or a
Plan shall arise on the assets of the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity, (iii) a Reportable Event shall occur with respect to, or proceedings shall commence to have a trustee appointed, or a trustee shall be appointed, to administer or

Title IV of ERISA, (iv) any Single Employer Plan shall terminate for purposes of Title IV of ERISA, (v) the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity shall, or in the reasonable opinion of the Required Lenders shall be likely
to, incur any liability in connection with a withdrawal from, or the Insolvency or Reorganization of, a Multiemployer Plan or (vi) any other event or condition shall occur or exist with respect to a Plan; and in each case in clauses (i)
through (vi) above, such event or condition, together with all other such events or conditions, if any, would, in the sole judgment of the Required Lenders, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or 
 (h) one or more judgments or decrees shall be entered against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving for the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole a liability (not paid or fully covered by insurance as to which the relevant insurance company has acknowledged coverage) of $25,000,000 or more, and all such judgments or decrees shall not have been vacated,
discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 30 days from the entry thereof; or 
  

 74 

 (i) any of the Security Documents shall cease, for any reason (other than by reason of
the express release thereof pursuant to Section 10.15), to be in full force and effect, or any Loan Party or Holdings shall so assert, or any Lien created by any of the Security Documents shall cease to be enforceable and of the same effect and
priority purported to be created thereby; or 
 (j) the guarantee contained in Section 2 of the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement shall cease, for any reason (other than by reason of the express release thereof pursuant to Section 10.15), to be in full force and effect or any Loan Party or Holdings shall so assert; or 
 (k) any Change of Control shall occur; 
 then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the
Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding
Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (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 Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower declare the Revolving Credit
Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Revolving Credit 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, without limitation, 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. In the case
of 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 face 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 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 such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). 
  

 75 

 SECTION 9. THE AGENTS 
 9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes
each 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. 
 9.2 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. 
 9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of its 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 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 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. 
 9.4
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 the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the
Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with
Section 10.6 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any 
  

 76 

 
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 or
any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) 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. Each Agent 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 or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of
the Loans. 
 9.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default hereunder unless such Agent shall have 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 shall receive 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. 
 9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither any of 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, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party
or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 
  

 77 

 9.7 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
(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), for, and to
save each Agent harmless 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 (including, without limitation, at
any time following 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 or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 9.8 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. 
 9.9 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 8(a)
or Section 8(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 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. The Syndication Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and
the Administrative Agent, resign as Syndication Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, 
  

 78 

 
obligations and responsibilities of the Syndication Agent hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent,
without any further act by the Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 9.10 Authorization to Release Liens and
Guarantees. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release of Liens or guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 10.15. 
 9.11 The Arranger; the Syndication Agent; the Co-Documentation Agents. Neither the Arranger, the Syndication Agent nor the Co-Documentation
Agents, in their respective capacities as such, shall have any duties or responsibilities, nor shall any such Person incur any liability, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this
Agreement or 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 10.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party to the relevant Loan Document
may, or (with the written consent of the Required Lenders) the Administrative Agent and each Loan 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 (including amendments and restatements hereof or thereof) 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 may be specified in the instrument of waiver, 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 date of maturity of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable
under this Agreement (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 covenant 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 Commitment of any Lender, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 
 (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section or reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders,
consent to the 

  

 79 

 
assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially
all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their guarantee obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the consent of all the Lenders; 
 (iii) amend, modify or waive any condition precedent to any extension of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility set forth in
Section 5.2 (including, without limitation, the waiver of an existing Default or Event of Default required to be waived in order for such extension of credit to be made) without the consent of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders;

 (iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without
the consent of all of the Lenders under such Facility; 
 (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9, or any
other provision affecting the rights, duties or obligations of any Agent, without the consent of any Agent directly affected thereby;

 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. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by
the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided, that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart thereof. 
  

 80 

 For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and
restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party to each relevant Loan Document (x) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit
from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof (collectively, the “Additional Extensions of Credit”) to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with
the Term Loans and Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Majority
Revolving Facility Lenders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall permit the Additional Extensions of Credit to share ratably with or with preference to the Loans in the application of mandatory prepayments without the
consent of the Majority Term Loan Facility 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 or modification of all outstanding Term Loans (“Refinanced Term
Loans”) with a replacement “B” term loan tranche hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”), provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate
principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans plus the amount of any fees and expenses incurred by the Borrower in connection with such refinancing, (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 Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing. 
 In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement, including this Section 10.1, and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and
restated) pursuant to Section 2.25 in order to add Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitment Increases to this Agreement and (a) 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 (including the rights of the lenders holding Incremental Term Loans to share ratably with the Term Facility in prepayments pursuant to Section 2.12) and the
other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof, (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the required consent of
the Lenders pursuant to this Section 10.1, and (c) to amend any other provision of the Loan Documents so that the Incremental Facilities are appropriately incorporated (including this Section 10.1). 
 In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Required Lenders shall have approved any amendment, the Borrower shall be permitted to replace any
non-consenting Lender with another lender, provided that, (i) the replacement lender shall purchase at par, all Loans and 

  

 81 

 
other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (ii) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under
Section 2.21 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto (as if such purchase constituted a prepayment of such Loans), (iii) such replacement
lender, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and, with respect to the replacement of a Revolving Credit Lender, each Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (iv) the
replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (v) such
replacement Lender shall consent to the proposed amendment and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender or of
the replaced Lender against the Borrower. 
 10.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties
hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage

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 partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or

 10.5 Payment of Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Agents for all their reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Facilities (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and 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, without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the charges of Intralinks, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Agents for all their costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or
preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and
disbursements and other charges of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Agents, (c) to pay, indemnify, or reimburse each Lender and the Agents for, and hold each Lender and the Agents harmless from, any and all recording and
filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation
or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to
pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, each Agent, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all 
  

 83 

 
other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
incurred by an Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or
thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed
use of the proceeds thereof (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit),
(iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Materials of Environmental Concern on or from any property owned, occupied or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any or their respective properties, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory,
and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing in this clause (d), 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 or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee. The Borrower acknowledges that information and documents relating to the Facilities may be transmitted through SyndTrak, Intralinks, the internet, e-mail, or similar electronic transmission systems, and, notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, that no Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the unauthorized use by others of information or documents occurring as a result of such information or documents being transmitted in such manner unless
resulting from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and neither the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Facilities. The Borrower
shall have the right to undertake, conduct and control through counsel of its own choosing (which counsel shall be acceptable to the applicable Indemnitee acting reasonably), the conduct and settlement of claims with respect to the related
Indemnified Liabilities, and such Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Borrower in connection therewith; provided that the Borrower shall permit such Indemnitee to participate in such conduct and settlement through counsel chosen by such Indemnitee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the Borrower’s cost and expense if such Indemnitee reasonably determines that
(i) the Borrower’s counsel is not defending any claim or proceeding in a manner reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee or (ii) the interest of the Borrower and such Indemnitee have become adverse in any such claim or cause of
action, provided, however, that in such event, the Borrower shall only be liable for the reasonable legal expenses of one counsel for all such Indemnitees. If clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence is applicable, at the option of the
applicable Indemnitee, its attorneys shall control the resolution of any such claim with respect to the related Indemnified Liabilities. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnitee affected thereby, effect the
settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not such Indemnitee is an actual or potential
party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (a) includes an unconditional release of 

  

 84 

 
such Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such action or claim, (b) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or
a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee and (c) does not require such Indemnitee to pay any form of consideration to any party or parties (including, without limitation, the payment of money) in connection therewith. 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 so 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 until all Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement and other than indemnity obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement and for which no notice of a claim has
been received by the Borrower as of such termination) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 30 days after
written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to              (Telephone No.
            ) (Fax No.             ), at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such
other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Borrower, the Lenders, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Agreement. 
 (b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions
or other entities, in each case other than to any entity that such Lender has knowledge is a competitor (or an affiliate of a known competitor) of the Borrower or any Founding Member (each, a “Participant”) participating interests
in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all
purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except that a Lender
may agree with a Participant that it will not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent that would require the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 10.1 without the consent of such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant
shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to 

  

 85 

 
have the right of setoff provided under Section 10.7(b) in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same
extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the
Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the requirements of,
Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21 and 2.23 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.20, such Participant
shall have complied with the requirements of said Section, and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to
receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. 
 (c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Control
Investment Affiliate thereof, in each case other than to an entity that such Lender has knowledge is a competitor (or an affiliate of a known competitor) of the Borrower or any Founding Member or, with the consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments, the written consent of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being understood
that the Borrower shall have the right to waive its consent rights hereunder by notice to the Administrative Agent and such consent or waiver by the Borrower (if not withheld) shall be provided within three Business Days) (provided that no
such consent need be obtained by any Lehman Entity for a period of 60 days following the Closing Date), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender or the
Swing Line Lender is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that no such assignment to an
Assignee (other than any Lender or any affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000 in the case of the assignment of any Term Loans or $5,000,000 in the case of the assignment of any Revolving Credit
Commitments (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement), unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities.
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment
and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Section 2.19, 2.20,
2.23 and 10.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. For purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated. 
  

 86 

 (d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in
Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing
to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the
Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the
Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing
such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon, if requested by the designated Assignee, one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to such designated Assignee, and the old Notes
shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.6(b), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500
(treating multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds as a single assignment) (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (y) in connection with an assignment by or to a Lehman Entity or
(z) in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or is an affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance
and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own
expense, upon request and upon receipt by the Borrower of the old Notes (if any) for cancellation, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, of
the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or applicable Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed or
acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loans, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note and/or Term Notes, as the case may be, to the
order of the Assignor in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or applicable Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the
Note or Notes replaced thereby. 
  

 87 

 (f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section
concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of
any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law; 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. 
 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower
all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and
(ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall
utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this
Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year
and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6(f), any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written
consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose
on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided that non-public information
with respect to the Borrower may be disclosed only with the Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld. In addition to the consent requirements set forth in Section 10.1, this paragraph (g) may not be amended without
the written consent of any SPC with Loans outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment. 
 10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except
to the extent that this Agreement 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 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 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion
than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such 
  

 88 

 
Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, 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 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, without
prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, 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. 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. 
 10.8 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 or of a Lender Addendum 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. 
 10.9 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. 
 10.10 Integration. This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Agents, the Arranger and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or
warranties by the Arranger, any Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 
 10.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK. 
 10.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 
  

 89 

 (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 the Borrower at its address set forth in Section 10.2 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) together with each
Lender, each Agent and each Arranger 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. 
 10.13 Acknowledgments. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that: 
 (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; 

(b) neither the Arranger, any Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Arranger, the Agents and the Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, 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 Arranger, the Agents and the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders. 
 10.14
Confidentiality. Each of the Arrangers, the Agents and the Lenders agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement that is explicitly designated and marked by such Loan Party as
confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Arranger, Agent or Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to any Arranger, any Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate of any thereof in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby or on a “need to know” basis (it being understood that any such Person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the 
  

 90 

 
confidential nature of such information and the requirement to maintain it as confidential and that such Arranger, Agent or Lender, as the case may be, shall
be responsible for the compliance or breach by such Person with this Section), (b) to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) or prospective Transferee (in each case other than any entity that such Lender has knowledge is a
competitor (or an affiliate of a known competitor) of the Borrower or any Founding Member) that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section or substantially equivalent provisions pursuant to an agreement as to which the Loan Parties are
express and intended third party beneficiaries, (c) to any of its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or on a “need to know”
basis (it being understood that any such Person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and the requirement to maintain it as confidential and that such Arranger, Agent or Lender, as the case
may be, shall be responsible for the compliance or breach by such Person with this Section), (d) to any financial institution that is a direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s
professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section), (e) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction over it, (f) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (g) in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding relating to the
rights and duties of the parties hereto and to any other Loan Document under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (h) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section, (i) to the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or
(j) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided, however, that unless prohibited by applicable law, with respect to clauses (e), (f) and (g), each of the Agents, the Arrangers and the
Lenders agrees to use its reasonable efforts to give the Borrower prompt notice of any such request for such confidential information. 
 10.15 Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any
affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in any Collateral being Disposed of in such Disposition, and to release any guarantee obligations under
any Loan Document of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such Disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than obligations in
respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement and other than the indemnity obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement and for which no notice of a claim has been received by the Borrower as of such termination) have been paid in full, all
Commitments have terminated or

expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, then (i) the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents and the
Security Documents and all rights and obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other secured party and each Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate,
all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person and (ii) upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a
party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may

payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned 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 payment had not been made.

amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting
Change had not occurred. “Accounting Change” refers to any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC. 
 10.17 Delivery of Lender Addenda. Each initial Lender shall become a
party to this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender Addendum duly executed by such Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

DCIP’s business or activities within Digital Cinema Services without the prior written consent of DCIP, which DCIP may withhold in its absolute discretion, and (b) DCIP shall not, directly or indirectly, as an owner, shareholder, joint

that would be valuable or useful in the Field of Use. Each Noncompetition Party therefore acknowledges that the foregoing restrictions on its future business activities are fair and reasonable.

(a) irreparable loss and damage will be suffered by the protected Noncompetition Party if the obligated Noncompetition Party should breach or violate any of the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 7, and (b) in addition

Services Agreement, (i) a copy of the Company Technology in existence as of the Effective Date will be distributed to the Exhibitor; (ii) the Company’s license of that Exhibitor’s Original Technology and that Exhibitor’s

royalty free right and license to use, make, have made, copy, perform, display and create derivative works of the Company Technology in existence as of the Effective Date, subject to the restrictions herein. With the exception of the

distributed pursuant to this Section 8.1 only for its internal business purposes in its own Theatres; and (2) the Source Code included in the Company Technology distributed pursuant to this Section 8.1 will be maintained by the

 8.2

obligation to provide to AMC or Cinemark, and AMC and Cinemark shall not receive access or any rights to, any Source Code for the In-Theatre DCS Software, or any Developments consisting of Source Code for improvements to the In-Theatre DCS Software.

 9. Ownership. 
 9.1
Original Technology. Except for the rights expressly granted to Company under this Agreement, each Exhibitor will retain all right, title and interest in and to the Original Technology of that Exhibitor, including all worldwide Technology
and intellectual property and proprietary rights therein and related thereto. 
 9.2 Exhibitor Developments. Except for the
rights expressly granted under this Agreement, each Exhibitor will retain all right, title and interest in and to any Developments authored, conceived of and reduced to practice, or otherwise developed solely by that Exhibitor, including all
worldwide Technology and intellectual property and proprietary rights therein and 

  

 - 7 - 

 
related thereto, and such Developments shall be made available to Company pursuant to the license set forth in Section 3.2 hereof. 
 9.3 DCIP Developments. Except for the rights expressly granted under this Agreement, DCIP will retain all right, title and interest
in and to any Developments authored, conceived of and reduced to practice, or otherwise developed by DCIP, including all worldwide Technology and intellectual property and proprietary rights therein and related thereto, and such Developments shall
be made available to Company pursuant to the license set forth in Section 3.3 hereof. 
 9.4 Company Developments.
Except for the rights expressly granted under this Agreement, Company will retain all right, title and interest in and to any Developments authored, conceived of and reduced to practice, or otherwise developed by Company, including all worldwide
Technology and intellectual property and proprietary rights therein and related thereto, and such Developments shall be made available to the Exhibitors and DCIP pursuant to the license set forth in Section 3.1 hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, ownership of Developments authored, conceived of and reduced to practice, or otherwise developed by Company in connection or collaboration with any Exhibitors shall be negotiated by the relevant Parties in good faith on case-by-case
basis. 
 9.5 Other Joint Developments. To the extent not addressed in the Operating Agreement, an Exhibitor Services
Agreement, or any other agreement existing between the Parties, the Parties contemplate that the ownership of any new Technology developments not related to the Original Technology developed under this Agreement will be determined in accordance with
a separate written agreement relating to the development of that Technology, provided that if no such separate agreement is signed between the Parties, the ownership of any such Technology will be determined in accordance with applicable
intellectual property laws. In the event that Parties who jointly own Technology agree to file a patent application or copyright registration in connection therewith, each such Party will be responsible for an equal share of the costs associated
with such filing. Such Parties will agree on which Party shall be responsible for filing and maintaining the resulting intellectual property rights. If all Parties who jointly own the Technology in question are not able to agree on whether to file
the application or registration, the other applicable Parties may proceed, and the non-proceeding Party will cooperate as reasonably requested in connection therewith at the expense of the Party or Parties that are proceeding with the application or
registration, and the Parties who are proceeding will own any resulting patent or copyright. If the Parties who jointly own Technology determine that a third party may be infringing upon any of that Technology, they shall notify the other Parties
and shall discuss the possibility of acting together to halt such infringement. If the parties cannot agree within three months of such notice to take any action to halt such infringement, then the Party or Parties who are interested in acting may
take independent action without the participation of the other Party. In such case, the non-acting Parties will provide all reasonable assistance requested by the acting Party in halting the infringement, including, for example, becoming a party to
any litigation action if such is required for the action to proceed. The proceeding Parties shall share equally in any financial return from such action without an obligation to share with the non-participating Party. 
  

 - 8 - 

 10. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT FOR A BREACH OF ANY PARTY’S CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS, THE GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY PARTY, OR AN INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE,
EXEMPLARY OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 
 11. General Terms. 
 11.1 Entire Agreement and Amendment. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, oral and written, between the parties with
respect to its subject matter and constitutes a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by the
party to be charged with the amendment. 
 11.2 Effect of Related Agreements on DCIP. DCIP agrees to be bound by the
following: (a) the meaning given to “Service” in the Exhibitor Services Agreement, and (b) Section 11.3 of the Operating Agreement, as provided in Section 6 hereof. 
 11.3 Waiver; Remedies. The waiver or failure of a Party to exercise in any respect any right provided hereunder shall not be deemed a
waiver of such right in the future or a waiver of any other rights established under this Agreement. All remedies available to any Party hereto for breach of this Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or separately, and the
exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed an election of such remedy to the exclusion of other remedies. 
 11.4
Assignment. No Party may assign or transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any third party without all other Parties’ prior written consent. Any Party may fulfill its
obligations hereunder by using third-party vendors or subcontractors; provided, however, that such Party shall remain fully and primarily responsible to ensure that such obligations are satisfied. A Permitted Transfer (as defined in
the Exhibitor Services Agreement) and any transfer by DCIP to an Exhibitor or by any Exhibitor to DCIP shall not be deemed an assignment or transfer for purposes of this Agreement. [Proposed by NCM for review by Exhibitors: Any transfer by
DCIP to an Exhibitor shall be subject to continued compliance with the provisions of Section 3.1.2] Any Permitted Transfer by assignment to an Affiliate of an Exhibitor shall be (i) conditioned upon (A) the transferee entering
into an Assignment and Assumption, (B) the Exhibitor agreeing in writing to remain bound by the obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) effective only so long as the Affiliate remains an Affiliate of transferee. Any attempted assignment
in violation of this Section shall be void. Each Exhibitor acknowledges and agrees that in the event of the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, the failure to include (by operation of law or otherwise) the assignment of its interest in
this Agreement in respect of such assets as part of the sale shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not be assignable by a Party unless the assignee expressly assumes in writing all
of the obligations of the assignor hereunder. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section shall be void. 
  

 - 9 - 

 11.5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or
unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and
effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable. 
 11.6 Section Headings, Construction. The headings of Sections
in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation. All references to “Section” or “Sections” refer to the corresponding Section or Sections of this Agreement. 

11.7 Governing Law, Dispute Resolution. Any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 10.10 of the Operating Agreement with respect to governing law and dispute resolution, which provisions are hereby fully incorporated herein and made a part hereof; provided, however, that the Parties further agree that
the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement and is hereby disclaimed by the Parties. 
 11.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be
deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. 
 11.9 Independent Contractors. Each of Regal, AMC, Cinemark, DCIP and
the Company shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing herein shall at any time be construed to create the relationship of employer and employee, partnership, principal and agent, broker or finder, or joint venturers as among Regal,
AMC, Cinemark, DCIP and the Company. No Party shall have any right or authority, and shall not attempt, to enter into any contract, commitment or agreement or incur any debt or liability of any nature, in the name of or on behalf of any other party.

 11.10 Bankruptcy. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the license rights granted in this Agreement, including
specifically but without limitation the rights to use, modify, and create derivative works of Source Code, are intended to survive and continue unimpaired by the insolvency or bankruptcy of the licensor, and that this Agreement shall be deemed to
be, for purposes of the United States Bankruptcy Code, a license to “intellectual property” as such term is used in Sections 365(n) and 101(35A) thereof. 
 11.11 Survival. This Agreement shall survive the liquidation or dissolution of the Company. The rights granted pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation the license rights granted
in Sections 2 and 3 above, are intended to be perpetual and irrevocable.
