shortfall in the interest or fees theretofore paid by the Borrower for the relevant period pursuant to Sections 2.12(b), 2.13(a), 2.13(b) and 2.13(c) as a result of such miscalculation of daily average Availability for such period shall be due

 “Availability” shall mean at any time an amount equal to the lesser of
(a) the total Revolving Facility Commitments at such time minus the aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure at such time, and (b) the Borrowing Base at such time (as determined by reference to the most recent Borrowing Base
Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.04, as adjusted in accordance with this Agreement), minus the aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure at such time. If the aggregate Revolving Facility Credit
Exposure is equal to or greater than the Revolving Facility Commitments or the Borrowing Base (or the Revolving Facility Commitments have been terminated), Availability is zero.

 (a) Revolving Facility Loans. Each Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Facility Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate

  
 57 

 
principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeding the lesser of (x) such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment and
(y) such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the Borrowing Base or (ii) the total Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeding the lesser of (x) the total Revolving Facility Commitments and (y) the Borrowing Base.
Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Facility Loans. 
 (b) Overadvances. Insofar as the Borrower may request and the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders may be willing in their sole and absolute discretion to make Revolving Facility Loans at a
time when the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeds, or would exceed with the making of any such Revolving Facility Loan, the Borrowing Base (any such Loan or Loans being herein referred to individually as an “Overadvance”),
the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders shall make such Overadvances available. All Overadvances shall be repaid on demand, shall be secured by the Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Security Documents and shall bear
interest as provided in this Agreement for the Revolving Facility Loans generally. Any Overadvance made pursuant to the terms hereof shall be made by the Revolving Facility Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Facility Percentages.
Overadvances in the aggregate amount of $4.5 million or less may, unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be made in the sole and absolute discretion of the Administrative Agent; provided that the Required Lenders
may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make future Overadvances (provided that existing Overadvances shall not be subject to such revocation and any such revocation must be in writing and shall become
effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof). The foregoing notwithstanding, in no event, (w) unless otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders, shall Overadvances in an aggregate amount of more than $4.5
million be outstanding at any time, (x) shall any Overadvances be outstanding for more than 45 consecutive days, (y) unless otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders, after all outstanding Overadvances have been repaid, shall the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders make any additional Overadvances unless 30 days or more have expired since the last date on which any Overadvances were outstanding or (z) shall the Administrative Agent make Revolving Facility Loans on
behalf of the applicable Lenders under this Section 2.01(b) to the extent such Revolving Facility Loans would cause a Lender’s share of the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment.

 (c) Protective Advances. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or upon the inability
of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions to borrowing set forth in Section 4.01 after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may make Revolving Facility Loans to the Borrower on behalf of the Lenders, so long as
the aggregate amount of such Revolving Facility Loans shall not, together with the aggregate amount of all Overadvances then outstanding, exceed 10.0% of the then applicable Borrowing Base, if the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems
that such Revolving Facility Loans are necessary or desirable (i) to protect all or any portion of the Collateral, (ii) to enhance the likelihood, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations, or
(iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (such Revolving Facility Loans, hereinafter, “Protective Advances”); provided that (a) in no event shall the Revolving Facility
Credit Exposure exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments, (b) the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to 

  
 58 

 
make future Protective Advances (provided that existing Protective Advances shall not be subject to such revocation and any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective
prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof) and (c) the Administrative Agent may not make Revolving Facility Loans on behalf of the applicable Lenders under this Section 2.01(c) to the extent such Revolving Facility
Loans would cause a Lender’s share of the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment. Any Protective Advance made pursuant to the terms hereof shall be made by the Revolving Facility Lenders
ratably in accordance with their Revolving Facility Percentages. If Protective Advances are made in accordance with this Section 2.01(c), then the Borrowing Base shall thereafter be deemed ratably increased by the amount of such permitted
Protective Advances, but only for so long as the Administrative Agent allows such Protective Advances to be outstanding. 

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same
Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, by the Swingline Lender in accordance with its Swingline Commitment). The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be
made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 

(b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Borrowing (other than a Swingline Borrowing) shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or
Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. Each Lender at its option may make any ABR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of
such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Lender shall not be entitled to any amounts
payable under Section 2.15 or 2.17 solely in respect of increased costs resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise. 
 (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Revolving Facility Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and
not less than the Borrowing Minimum. At the time that each ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing
Minimum; provided that an ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused available balance of the Revolving Facility Commitments, or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an L/C
Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Each Swingline Borrowing shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. Borrowings of more than one Type may be
outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than 10 Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect
thereto would end after the Revolving Facility Maturity Date.

 Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. (a) To request a Revolving Facility
Borrowing or a Borrowing of Other Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the
date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing to finance the
reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be
confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written (including by facsimile or other
electronic transmission) Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) whether such Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Revolving Facility Loans or Other Revolving Loans; 
 (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing, which amount shall not result in the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeding the Borrowing Base; 

(iii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iv) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; 

(v) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and 
 (vi) the location and
number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed. 
 If no election as to the Type of Revolving Facility
Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Facility Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to
be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 
 (b) Disbursement. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Loan requested pursuant to this Section 2.03. The proceeds of each Loan requested under this Section 2.03 shall be disbursed by the Administrative Agent in Dollars in immediately
available funds, in the case of the initial Borrowing, in accordance with the terms of the written disbursement letter from the Borrower, and in the case of each subsequent borrowing, by wire transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from the Borrower. If at any time any Loan is funded in excess of the amount 

  
 60 

 
requested by the Borrower, the Borrower agrees to repay the excess to the Administrative Agent promptly upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Borrower’s discovery of the error and
(ii) notice thereof to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender. 
 Section 2.04
Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an
aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Maximum Swingline Amount, or (ii) the total Revolving Facility Credit Exposure
exceeding the total Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that in no event shall the Swingline Lender make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Borrowing. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. 
 (b) To request a Swingline
Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender of such request by telephone (confirmed by a Swingline Borrowing Request by telecopy or pdf), not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the day of a proposed
Swingline Borrowing. Each such notice and Swingline Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day), and (ii) the amount of the requested Swingline Borrowing. The Swingline
Lender shall consult with the Administrative Agent as to whether the making of the Swingline Loan is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the Swingline Lender funding such Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender, if it determines to
make a Swingline Loan in accordance with Section 2.02(a), shall make each Swingline Loan on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 4:00 p.m., Local Time, to the account of the Borrower (or, in the case of a
Swingline Borrowing made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank). 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by the Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the Revolving Facility Loans and the Swingline Loans and the Agent Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions: 

(i) The Administrative Agent shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the Lenders on at least a
weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by the Administrative Agent, (A) on behalf of the Swingline Lender, with respect to each outstanding Swingline Loan, (B) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance, and
(C) with respect to Collections (as further described in Section 2.04(d)(iv)), in each case, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement,
no later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender, in the case of Swingline Loans, and the Administrative Agent, in the case of Agent
Advances) shall make the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans and Agent Advances with respect to which Settlement is requested available to the Administrative Agent, to
such account of the Administrative Agent as the 

  
 61 

 
Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 3:00 p.m., Local Time, on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, which may occur before or after the occurrence or during the continuation of a
Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 4 have then been satisfied. Such amounts made available to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable
Swingline Loan or Agent Advance and, together with the portion of such Swingline Loan or Agent Advance representing the Swingline Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s Revolving Facility Percentage thereof, shall constitute Revolving Facility
Loans of the Revolving Facility Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by any Revolving Facility Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, the Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Swingline
Lender with respect to each outstanding Swingline Loan and for itself with respect to each Agent Advance, be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Facility Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for
the first three days from and after the Settlement Date and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to the ABR Loans. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one Business Day after demand is made by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and
regardless of whether the Administrative Agent has requested a Settlement with respect to a Swingline Loan or Agent Advance), each Revolving Facility Lender (A) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive from the Swingline
Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan or Agent Advance equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such
Swingline Loan or Agent Advance and (B) if Settlement has not previously occurred with respect to such Swingline Loans or Agent Advances, upon demand by the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall pay to the
Swingline Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, as the purchase price of such participation an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loans or
Agent Advances. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Rate for the first three days from and after such demand and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to ABR Loans. Each Revolving Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its respective obligation to acquire participations in Swingline
Loans and Agent Advances pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the
Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Facility Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available
funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Facility Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender (in the case of participations in Swingline Loans) the amounts so received by it from the Revolving 

  
 62 

 
Facility Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph (c)(ii), and thereafter payments in respect of
such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by
the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan or Agent Advance pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the
Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 
 (iii) From and after the date, if any, on which any Revolving
Facility Lender purchases an undivided interest and participation in any Swingline Loan or Agent Advance pursuant to clause (ii) preceding, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Revolving Facility Lender such Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Swingline Loan or Agent Advance; provided that any amounts so
distributed by the Administrative Agent shall be repaid to the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender), if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any
reason. 
 (iv) Between Settlement Dates, to the extent no Agent Advances are outstanding, the Administrative
Agent may pay over to the Swingline Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent, which in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Facility Loans (such amounts,
“Collections”), for application to the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Facility Loans or Swingline Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date, Collections received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied
to the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Facility Loans, the Swingline Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Revolving Facility Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each
Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Revolving Facility Percentage of the Revolving Facility Loans. During the period between Settlement Dates, the Swingline Lender with respect to Swingline Loans, the
Administrative Agent with respect to Agent Advances, and each Revolving Facility Lender with respect to the Revolving Facility Loans, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the actual average
daily amount of funds employed by the Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Facility Lenders. 

Section 2.05 Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower
may request the issuance of (x) trade letters of credit in support of trade obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business (such letters of credit issued for such purposes, “Trade Letters of
Credit”) and (y) standby letters of credit issued for any other lawful purposes of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (such letters of credit issued for such purposes, “Standby Letters of Credit”) for its own account or
for the account of any Subsidiary in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period and prior to the date that is five

  
 63 

 
Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date; provided that Barclays Bank PLC and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch shall not be required to issue any Trade Letter of
Credit hereunder. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the
Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. “Letters of Credit” shall include Trade Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event that a Revolving Facility Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless the Issuing
Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by all such Defaulting Lenders, including by cash collateralizing, or obtaining a
backstop letter of credit from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank to support, each such Defaulting Lender’s ratable share of each L/C Disbursement. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension: Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal (other than an automatic extension in accordance
with paragraph (c) of this Section) or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable
Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank in their sole
discretion may agree) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on
which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount and currency (which may be Dollars or any Alternate Currency) of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary
thereof, whether such letter of credit constitutes a Standby Letter of Credit or a Trade Letter of Credit, and such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank,
the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance,
amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) the total Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed the Letter of
Credit Sublimit, and the Revolving L/C Exposure with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment, (ii) the total Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not
exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments, (iii) the total Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Borrowing Base, and (iv) in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, the total Revolving L/C Exposure with
respect to all Alternate Currency Letters of Credit would exceed $30.0 million. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Barclays Bank PLC and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch shall not be required to issue any Trade Letter of Credit
hereunder. 
 (c) Expiration Date. Each Standby Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the
earlier of (i) the date one year (unless otherwise agreed upon by the 

  
 64 

 
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank in their sole discretion) after the date of the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year
(unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank in their sole discretion) after such renewal or extension), and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date;
provided that any Standby Letter of Credit with one year tenor may provide for automatic renewal or extension thereof for additional one year periods (which, in no event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) of
this paragraph (c)) so long as such Standby Letter of Credit permits the Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit) by giving prior
notice to the beneficiary thereof within a time period during such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Standby Letter of Credit is issued; provided, further, that if the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent each
consent in their sole discretion, the expiration date on any Standby Letter of Credit may extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above; provided that (x) if any such Standby Letter of Credit is outstanding, or is
issued after the date that is 30 days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, the Borrower shall provide cash collateral pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank in an amount
equal to 105% of the face amount of each such Standby Letter of Credit on or prior to the date that is 30 days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date or, if later, such date of issuance and (y) each Revolving Facility Lender’s
participation in any undrawn Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. Each Trade Letter of Credit shall expire on the earlier of (x) 180 days after
such Trade Letter of Credit’s date of issuance or renewal or extension or (y) the date five Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing
Bank or the Revolving Facility Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Facility Lender, and each Revolving Facility Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving
Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (calculated, in the case of Alternate Currency Letters of Credit, based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof). In
consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in Dollars, such Revolving Facility
Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be
refunded to the Borrower for any reason (calculated, in the case of any Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof). Each Revolving Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments or the fact that, as a result of changes in currency exchange rates, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Credit Exposure at any time might exceed its
Commitment at such time (in which case Section 2.11(d) would apply), and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

  
 65 

 (e) Reimbursement. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in
respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars equal to such L/C Disbursement (or, in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, the Dollar
Equivalent thereof) not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the third Business Day after the Borrower receives notice under paragraph (g) of this Section of such L/C Disbursement, together with accrued interest thereon from the date of
such L/C Disbursement at the rate applicable to ABR Loans; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR
Revolving Facility Borrowing or a Swingline Borrowing, as applicable, in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving
Facility Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to reimburse any L/C Disbursement when due, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each other Revolving Facility Lender of the applicable
L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and, in the case of a Revolving Facility Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Facility
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars its Revolving Facility Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06
shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Facility Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Facility
Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving
Facility Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse an Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such
L/C Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided
in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or
any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against,
the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility 

  
 66 

 
by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to
in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing
thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank, or any of the circumstances referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence;
provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by
the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and
other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall
be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial
compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to
the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.
Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any such demand for payment under a Letter of Credit and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a L/C Disbursement
thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Facility Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

 (h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse
such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses
such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by the Borrower when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c)
shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Facility Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor
Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such 

  
 67 

 
replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 2.12. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be
issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.
After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by
it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 
 (j) Cash Collateralization
Following an Event of Default. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(h) or (i), on the Business Day or (ii) in the case of any other Event of
Default, on the third Business Day, in each case, following the date on which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Facility Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure
representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with or at the direction of the Collateral Agent, in the name of the
Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash in Dollars equal to the Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 8.01, the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without
demand or other notice of any kind. Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall
have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for
so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent and (ii) at any other time, the Borrower, in each case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of the Borrower, such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been
reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the
consent of Revolving Facility Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to
provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have
been cured or waived. 
 (k) Cash Collateralization Following Termination and Prepayment of the Facility. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, in the event of the prepayment in full of all 

  
 68 

 
outstanding Revolving Facility Loans and the termination of all Revolving Facility Commitments by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.08(b) (a “Facility Termination Event”)
in connection with which the Borrower notifies any one or more Issuing Banks that it intends to maintain one or more Letters of Credit initially issued under this Agreement in effect after the date of such Facility Termination Event (each, a
“Continuing Letter of Credit”), then the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral under the Security Documents may be terminated in accordance with Section 7.15 of the Collateral Agreement and replaced with
cash collateral, in an amount in Dollars equal to 102% of the Revolving L/C Exposure with respect to each such Continuing Letter of Credit as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, which shall be deposited in an account
with or at the direction of each such Issuing Bank. 
 (l) Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Borrower may
by notice to the Administrative Agent designate any Lender (in addition to Citibank, N.A., Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, and Barclays Bank PLC) each of which agrees (in its sole discretion) to act in such capacity and that is reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as an Issuing Bank. Each such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall
thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder for all purposes and shall have a Letter of Credit Commitment in the amount set forth in such counterpart. 
 (m) Reporting. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall (i) provide to the Administrative Agent copies of any notice received from the Borrower pursuant
to Section 2.05(b) no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof and (ii) report in writing to the Administrative Agent (A) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend or extend any
Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension occurred
(and whether the amount thereof changed), and the Issuing Bank shall be permitted to issue, amend or extend such Letter of Credit if the Administrative Agent shall not have advised the Issuing Bank that such issuance, amendment or extension would
not be in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, (B) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any L/C Disbursement, the date of such L/C Disbursement and the amount of such L/C Disbursement and (C) on any other
Business Day, such other information with respect to the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, including but not limited to prompt verification of such information as may be
requested by the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each
Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the
Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the
Borrower specified in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans and Swingline Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of a L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be
remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. 

  
 69 

 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available
to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Rate and (B) a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans at such time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent,
then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 
 (c) The foregoing notwithstanding, the
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may from its own funds make a Revolving Facility Loan on behalf of the Revolving Facility Lenders (including by means of Swingline Loans to the Borrower). In such event, the applicable Revolving Facility
Lenders on behalf of whom the Administrative Agent made the Revolving Facility Loan shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all or any portion of such Revolving Facility Loan made on its behalf upon written notice given to each applicable
Revolving Facility Lender not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the Business Day such reimbursement is requested. On each such settlement date, the Administrative Agent will pay to each such Revolving Facility Lender the net amount owing to such
Revolving Facility Lender in connection with such settlement, including amounts relating to Loans, fees, interest and other amounts payable hereunder. The entire amount of interest attributable to such Revolving Facility Loan for the period from and
including the date on which such Revolving Facility Loan was made on such Revolving Facility Lender’s behalf to but excluding the date the Administrative Agent is reimbursed in respect of such Revolving Facility Loan by such Revolving Facility
Lender shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for its own account. 
 Section 2.07 Interest Elections.
(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower
may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with
respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 

  
 70 

 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date
of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in the form of
Exhibit E and signed by the Borrower. 
 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the
Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be
specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and 

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving
effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by clause (a) of the definition of the term “Interest Period.” 
 If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender
to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is
repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent,
at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a
Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 Section 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. 

  
 71 

 (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving
Facility Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million (or, if less, the remaining amount of
the Revolving Facility Commitments) and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with
Section 2.11, the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Facility Commitments or the Borrowing Base. 
 (c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the
effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Revolving Facility Lenders of the contents
thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned
upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or
reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 
 Section 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility
Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Facility Loan, Protective Advance and Overadvance to the Borrower on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each
Swingline Loan on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. 
 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type
thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) any amount received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in
the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 72 

 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note
substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns. Thereafter, the Loans
evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns. 

Section 2.10 Repayment of Revolving Facility Loans. 
 (a) To the extent not previously paid, all outstanding Loans shall be due and payable on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. 
 (b) Prior to any repayment of any Revolving Facility Loans, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy) of such selection not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, on the Business Day prior to the scheduled date of such repayment, and (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, three Business Days
before the scheduled date of such repayment. In the case of prepayments under Section 2.11(a), the Borrower may in its sole discretion select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid. Each repayment of a Borrowing (x) in the case of the
Revolving Facility, shall be applied to the Revolving Facility Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Revolving Facility Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective Revolving Facility Credit
Exposures of the Revolving Facility Lenders at the time of such repayment) and (y) in all other cases, shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding
sentence, prior to any repayment of a Swingline Loan hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 1:00
p.m., Local Time, on the scheduled date of such repayment. Repayments of Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid. 
 Section 2.11 Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loan in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject
to Section 2.16), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior written notice in accordance with
Section 2.10(b), which notice shall be irrevocable except to the extent conditioned on a refinancing of all or any portion of the Revolving Facility, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. 
 (b) Subject to Sections 2.01(b)
and (c), in the event the aggregate amount of the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeds the lesser of (i) the Revolving Facility Commitments, and (ii) the Borrowing Base in effect at such time, then the Borrower shall promptly prepay
outstanding Revolving Facility Loans and/or cash collateralize Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(j) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 

  
 73 

 (c) In the event and on such occasion as the Revolving L/C Exposure exceeds the Letter of
Credit Sublimit, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j) in an amount equal to such excess. 

(d) If as a result of changes in currency exchange rates, on any Revaluation Date, the Revolving L/C Exposure with respect to all
Alternate Currency Letters of Credit exceeds $30.0 million, the Borrower shall at the request of the Administrative Agent, within 5 Business Days of such Revaluation Date deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 2.05(j), in an aggregate amount such that the applicable exposure does not exceed the applicable commitment, sublimit or amount set forth above. 
 Section 2.12 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, on the date that is five (5) Business Days
after the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year, and three Business Days after the date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a
“Commitment Fee”) on the daily amount of the Available Unused Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the date on which the last of the Commitments of
such Lender shall be terminated) at a rate equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For the purpose of calculating any Lender’s
Commitment Fee, the outstanding Swingline Loans during the period for which such Lender’s Commitment Fee is calculated shall be deemed to be zero. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall
cease to accrue on the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein. 
 (b)
The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Facility Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and three Business
Days after the date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) on such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the daily aggregate Revolving L/C
Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements), during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the Revolving Facility Maturity Date or the date on which the
Commitments shall be terminated) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Revolving Facility Borrowings effective for each day in such period, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account (x) three
Business Days after the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fronting fee in
respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum
of the daily average stated amount of such Letter of Credit), plus (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of any such Letter of Credit or any L/C Disbursement thereunder, such Issuing Bank’s customary documentary
and processing fees and charges (collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees that are payable in Dollars on a per annum basis shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed in a year of 360 days. 

  
 74 

 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay the agency fees to (x) the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent Fees”) and (y) to the Collateral Agent, for the account of the Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Agent Fees”), in each case set forth in the Fee
Letter, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, at the times specified therein. 
 (d) All
Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Banks. Once
paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. 
 Section 2.13 Interest. (a) The Loans
comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin. 

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for
such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any
Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal
to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2% plus the
rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that this paragraph (c) shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.08. 

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and (ii) in the
case of Revolving Facility Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (A) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (B) in the event of any repayment or
prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or
prepayment and (C) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the ABR at
times when the ABR is based on the prime rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day). The applicable ABR, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 75 

 Section 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing
denominated in such currency shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto an ABR Borrowing, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 Section 2.15 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change
in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank; 

(ii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and
Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or 

(iii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or
Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to
increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender,
Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

  
 76 

 (b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement
or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such
Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company
with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such
Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive
absent manifest error; provided that any such certificate claiming amounts described in clause (x) or (y) of the definition of Change in Law shall, in addition, state the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certify
that such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s method of allocating such costs is fair and reasonable and that such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s demand for payment of such costs hereunder, and such method of allocation, is not inconsistent
with its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are substantially similar to the Borrower and which are subject to similar provisions. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any
such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that
it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this
Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of
such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to
above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 (e) The foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.15 shall not apply in the case of any Change in Law in respect of Taxes imposed on payments on the Loans, which shall instead be governed by Section 2.17. 
 Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto
(including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert,

  
 77 

 
continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a
Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be the amount determined by such Lender (it being understood that the deemed amount shall not exceed the actual amount) to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current
Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurocurrency Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such
principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency market. A
certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to such Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such Borrower shall pay such
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 Section 2.17 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if a Loan Party shall be required to
deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such
Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

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

 (c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender or an Issuing Bank,
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, on behalf of another Agent or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 78 

 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan
Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or
other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify
the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such
Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(d) relating to the maintenance of
a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes that are attributable to such Lender and are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender
from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). 
 (f) In the event the
Borrower is a resident for tax purposes in a jurisdiction other than the United States of America, any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax or backup withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do
so, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower, in writing at least sixty (60) days
prior to the date such documentation is due under applicable law to permit such payments to be made without such withholding Tax or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation under this paragraph
(e) with respect to any withholding Tax imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States if in the reasonable judgment of such Lender such compliance would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. 
 (g) In the event the Borrower is a resident for tax
purposes in the United States of America, each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two original copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any subsequent versions thereof or
successors thereto), claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or
successors thereto), (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, 

  
 79 

 
(x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent
shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), (iv) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, together with forms and certificates described in clauses (i) through
(iii) above (and additional Form W-8IMYs) as may be required or (v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with
such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. In addition, in each of the foregoing circumstances, each Foreign Lender that is not an
exempt recipient within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c) shall deliver such forms, if legally entitled to deliver such forms, promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by
such Foreign Lender. If a payment made to a Lender or Agent hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including
those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or Agent has complied with such Lender’s or Agent’s obligations under
FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 2.17(g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Foreign 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 United States of America or other taxing authorities
for such purpose). In addition, each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) on or
before the date such Lender becomes a party and upon the expiration of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph
that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. 
 (h) If the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender determines in
good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or
Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental 

  
 80 

 
Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably
practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in the event the Administrative
Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.17(h) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to make available its Tax
returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems, in good faith and in its sole discretion, to be confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other person. 
 Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set Offs. (a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder
(whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16, or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without
condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for
purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing
Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such
payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under the Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by
the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating
procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment. 
 (b)
If (i) at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees and other Obligations then due from
the Borrower hereunder or (ii) at any time that an Availability Triggering Event shall have occurred and be continuing and proceeds of Collateral are received by the Administrative Agent, such funds shall be applied, subject to the Senior Lien
Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other applicable intercreditor agreements: first, ratably, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any Issuing Bank from the Borrower under the Loan Documents; second, ratably, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, Protective Advances and Overadvances; third, ratably to pay
principal of unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, Protective Advances and Overadvances; fourth, ratably, to pay any fees or expenses reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower under the Loan Documents; fifth, ratably, to pay
interest due and payable in respect of any Revolving Facility Loans; sixth, ratably, to pay principal of 

  
 81 

 
Revolving Facility Loans (other than Protective Advances and Overadvances) then due from the Borrower hereunder and any Pari Passu Secured Swap Obligations; seventh, ratably, to cash
collateralize Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j); eighth, ratably, to the payment of any Cash Management Obligations and any other Secured Swap Obligations that do not constitute Pari Passu
Secured Swap Obligations; ninth, ratably, to the payment of any other Obligations due to the Agents or any Lender by the Borrower; and tenth, to the Borrower or as the Borrower shall direct or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
otherwise direct. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in
respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Facility Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving
Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with
the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be
construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans
or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant (other than to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing
and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d)
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not
make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable,
the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

  
 82 

 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b) or (c), or 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount
to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign
its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or
2.17, as applicable, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or is a Defaulting Lender, then the
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04),
all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if in respect of any Commitment, Revolving Facility Loan or Other Revolving Loan), the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld,
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the
Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. 
 (c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting
Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 10.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders
(or if such amendment or waiver by its terms requires the consent of the Super Majority Lenders, the Super Majority Lenders) shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such
consent) at its sole expense (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b)(ii)(B)) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by deeming (by notice to such Non-Consenting Lender) such Non Consenting
Lender to have assigned its Loan, and its 

  
 83 

 
Commitments hereunder, to one or more assignees that have consented to such assignment and that are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing
Bank; provided that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender (including accrued Fees and any amounts due under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17) being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting
Lender concurrently with such assignment and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. No
action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower,
Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 10.04. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an
interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interest hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.19(c) and
the Administrative Agent agrees to effect such assignment; provided that, if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 10.04 within three Business Days after the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 10.04
shall not be required to effect such assignment. 
 Section 2.20 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines
that any change in law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans, then, on notice
thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert
all Eurocurrency Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not
lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 
 Section 2.21 Incremental Commitments. 
 (a) The Borrower may, by
written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time after the Closing Date, and prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, request that the Incremental Amount be provided by one or more Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders (which may
include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments in their own discretion; provided that each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such Incremental Revolving Facility Lender is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Revolving Facility
Commitments being requested (which shall be in a minimum amount of $15.0 million and in minimum increments of $5.0 million in excess thereof or equal to 

  
 84 

 
the remaining Incremental Amount), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are requested to become effective (the “Increased Amount Date”) and
(iii) whether such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments are to be Revolving Facility Commitments or commitments to make revolving loans with pricing terms, final maturity date, upfront or similar fees and/or participation in prepayments
different from the Revolving Facility Loans (“Other Revolving Loans”). If the initial pricing terms on the requested Other Revolving Loans (which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above Adjusted LIBO Rate on the
requested Other Revolving Loans and (y) any original issue discount or upfront fees paid to all lenders providing such Other Revolving Loans with respect to the requested Other Revolving Loans divided by the lesser of (A) the average life
to maturity of such Other Revolving Loans and (B) four) exceeds the pricing terms of any of the then existing Revolving Facility Loans (which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the Applicable Margin then in effect for such existing Revolving
Facility Loans that are Eurocurrency Revolving Loans and (y) any original issue discount or upfront fees payable to all Revolving Facility Lenders with respect to such existing Revolving Facility Loans, divided by the lesser of (A) the
average life to maturity of such existing Revolving Facility Loans and (B) four) by more than 50 basis points, then the applicable margin then in effect for each such existing Revolving Facility Loan shall automatically be increased to the
extent necessary such that the pricing terms (as defined above) of each such existing Revolving Facility Loans is equal to the pricing terms of the requested Other Revolving Facility Loans minus 50 basis points, effective upon the making of
the requested Other Revolving Loans. 
 (b) The Borrower and each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment of such Incremental Revolving
Facility Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that (i) the Other Revolving Loans shall have the same guarantees as and rank pari
passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Facility Loans and, except as to pricing, final maturity date, participation in prepayments and/or upfront or similar fees, shall have (x) the same terms as the
Revolving Facility Loans, or (y) intercreditor arrangements and such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) the final maturity date of any Other Revolving Loans shall be no earlier than the
Revolving Facility Maturity Date then in effect, and (iii) the Other Revolving Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayment or
commitment reduction hereunder. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement in accordance with its terms, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent)
necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments evidenced thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.08 of this Agreement. Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized
in writing by the Administrative Agent with Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.21 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, both before and after
such effectiveness, (x) there is no Default or Event of Default and (y) the 

  
 85 

 
Borrower shall be in Pro Forma Compliance, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower and containing calculations in reasonable detail demonstrating compliance with the requirement contained in preceding subclause (i)(y), and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received customary legal opinions, board resolutions
and other customary closing certificates and documentation as required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement and, to the extent required by the Administrative Agent, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under
Section 4.02 and such additional customary documents and filings (including amendments to the Mortgages and other Security Documents and title endorsement bringdowns) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to assure that the
Revolving Facility Loans and/or Other Revolving Loans in respect of the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are secured by the Collateral ratably with (or, to the extent agreed by the applicable Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders in the
applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, junior to) the existing Revolving Facility Loans. 
 (d) Each of the parties hereto
hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Revolving Facility Loans in respect of Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments (other than Other Revolving Loans), when
originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Revolving Facility Loans on a pro rata basis. The Borrower agrees that Section 2.16 shall apply to any conversion of Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans reasonably required by
the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing. 
 Section 2.22 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such
Commitment Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender); and 
 (b) any amount
payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c)) shall, in lieu of being
distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent
(i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or
the Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any Issuing Bank, to cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the outstanding Letters of Credit
issued by such Issuing Bank other than any Letter of Credit (or portion thereof) as to which such Defaulting Lender’s participation obligation has been cash collateralized by pledging and depositing with or delivering to the Collateral Agent,
for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the non-Defaulting Lenders, as collateral for the Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form

  
 86 

 
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Issuing Banks (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders), (iv) fourth, as the Borrower may request, to the
funding of any Revolving Facility Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (vi) fifth, held in such account as cash
collateral and released, pro rata, in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Revolving Facility Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing
Banks’ and the Swingline Lender’s potential future fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to potential future Letters of Credit issued or Swingline Loans made under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a
result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower
against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided that if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Revolving Facility Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and that were made at a time when the conditions set
forth in Section 4.01 were satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Revolving Facility Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Revolving Facility Loans of any
Defaulting Lender. 
 (c) In the event that the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Borrower
each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Facility Loans of the other Lenders or take such
other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Facility Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be in accordance with its Revolving Facility Percentage,
as applicable. 
 Section 2.23 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments. 

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or any portion of the Revolving Facility Commitments under any
Facility (an “Existing Revolving Facility”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) and/or termination date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of the loans or commitments in respect of such
Existing Revolving Facility (any such Revolving Facility which has been so converted, an “Extended Revolving Facility”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.23. In order to establish any Extended
Revolving Facility, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolving Facility) (an “Extension Request”) setting
forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Facility to be established which shall be substantially identical to the Existing Revolving Facility which is being converted except that: 

(i) all or any of the scheduled payments of principal (including the maturity date) and/or termination dates of the
Extended Revolving Facility may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled payments of principal (including the maturity date) and/or termination dates of such Existing Revolving Facility to the extent provided in the applicable Extension
Amendment; 

  
 87 

 (ii) the interest margins and commitment fees with respect to the Extended
Revolving Facility may be different than the interest margins and commitment fees for the Existing Revolving Facility and upfront fees may be paid to the Extending Lenders, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment;

 (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after
the latest final maturity or termination date of the Revolving Facility Commitments in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Facility; and 

(iv) no commitments in respect of such Extended Revolving Facility may be optionally reduced or terminated prior to the
date on which the commitments under the Existing Revolving Facility from which they were converted are terminated unless such optional reduction or termination is accompanied by a pro rata optional reduction of the commitments under such Existing
Revolving Facility. 
 (b) Any Extended Revolving Facility converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a
series (an “Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Facility Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Facility converted from an Existing Revolving Facility may, to the extent
provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolving Facility. 
 (c) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Revolving Facility are requested to respond. No
Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Loans and commitments of any Existing Revolving Facility converted into an Extended Revolving Facility pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender (an “Extending
Lender”) wishing to have all or any portion of its Loans and commitments under the Existing Revolving Facility subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Revolving Facility, shall notify the Administrative Agent (an
“Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Loans and commitments under the Existing Revolving Facility which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Revolving
Facility. In the event that the aggregate amount of commitments under an Existing Revolving Facility subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of commitments under an Extended Revolving Facility requested pursuant to the Extension Request,
commitments subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to commitments under an Extended Revolving Facility on a pro rata basis based on the amount of commitments included in each such Extension Election.

case of the other Collateral described in the Collateral Agreement (other than the Intellectual Property (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) and except as provided in clause (d) below with respect to Mortgaged Property), when financing
statements and other filings specified in the Perfection Certificate are filed in the offices specified in the Perfection Certificate, the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have a perfected Lien on, and security

pursuant to (i) Permitted Liens and (ii) Liens that are pari passu or have priority by operation of law). 

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein (including this Section 3.17), or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, other than to the
extent set forth in the applicable Foreign Pledge Agreements, no Borrower or any other Loan Party makes any representation or warranty as to the effects of perfection or non-perfection, the priority or the enforceability of any pledge of or security
interest in any Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party, or as to the rights and remedies of the Agents or any Lender with respect thereto, under foreign law.

otherwise, of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, respectively; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than

and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and
liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are
now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date. 
 (b) On the Closing Date, neither Holdings nor the
Borrower intends to, and neither Holdings nor the Borrower believes that it or any of its subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by it or
any such subsidiary and the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness, or the Indebtedness of any such subsidiary.

of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of Holdings, the Borrower or such Subsidiary to the extent required by GAAP. Except as, individually or in the aggregate,
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to a right of termination or right to renegotiation on the part of any union under any material collective bargaining
agreement to which Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is a party or by which Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is bound. 

Section 3.21 Insurance. Schedule 3.21 sets forth a true, complete and correct description of all material
insurance maintained by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower or the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. As of such date, such insurance is in full force and effect. 

  
 96

continuing or would result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

without conflict with the rights of any other person; (b) to the knowledge of the Borrower, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries are not interfering with, infringing upon, misappropriating or otherwise violating Intellectual Property Rights of any
person; and (c) no claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened.

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS 
 The Borrower covenants and agrees with each Lender that so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect (other than in respect of contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for
which no claim has been made) and until the Commitments have been terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan, all Fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under any Loan Document shall have been paid in full and all Letters of
Credit have been canceled or have expired and all amounts drawn or paid thereunder have been reimbursed in full, unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing, the Borrower will, and will cause each of the Material Subsidiaries to:

 Section 5.01 Existence; Businesses and Properties. (a) Do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to
preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence, except, in the case of a Subsidiary of the Borrower, where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and except as otherwise
expressly permitted under Section 6.05; provided that the Borrower may liquidate or dissolve one or more Subsidiaries if the assets of such Subsidiaries to the extent they exceed estimated liabilities are acquired by the Borrower or a
Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower in such liquidation or dissolution; except that Subsidiary Loan Parties may not be liquidated into Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties and Domestic Subsidiaries may not be liquidated into Foreign
Subsidiaries. 
 (b) Except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, do or
cause to be done all things necessary to (i) lawfully obtain, preserve, renew, extend and keep in full force and effect the permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and rights
with respect thereto necessary to the normal conduct of its business, and (ii) at all times maintain and preserve all property necessary to the normal conduct of its business and keep such property in good repair, working order and condition
and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all needful and proper repairs, renewals, additions, improvements and replacements thereto necessary in order that the business carried on in connection therewith, if any, may be properly conducted at
all times (in each case except as expressly permitted by this Agreement). 
 Section 5.02 Insurance.
(a) Maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are customarily maintained by similarly situated companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the
same or similar locations and cause the Collateral Agent to be listed as a co-loss payee on property and casualty policies and as an additional insured on liability policies. 

  
 101

 (b) With respect to any Mortgaged Properties, if at any time the area in which the Premises
(as defined in the Mortgages) are located is designated a “flood hazard area” in any Flood Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), obtain flood insurance in such reasonable total
amount as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably require, and otherwise comply with the National Flood Insurance Program as set forth in the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as it may be amended from time to time.

 (c) In connection with the covenants set forth in this Section 5.02, it is understood and agreed that: 

(i) none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and their respective agents or employees shall be
liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Section 5.02, it being understood that (A) the Loan Parties shall look solely to their insurance companies or any other parties other than
the aforesaid parties for the recovery of such loss or damage and (B) such insurance companies shall have no rights of subrogation against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank or their agents or employees. If, however, the
insurance policies, as a matter of the internal policy of such insurer, do not provide waiver of subrogation rights against such parties, as required above, then each of Holdings and the Borrower, on behalf of itself and behalf of each of its
subsidiaries, hereby agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to waive, and further agrees to cause each of their Subsidiaries to waive, its right of recovery, if any, against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank and their agents
and employees; and 
 (ii) the designation of any form, type or amount of insurance coverage by the
Administrative Agent under this Section 5.02 shall in no event be deemed a representation, warranty or advice by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that such insurance is adequate for the purposes of the business of Holdings, the Borrower
and the Subsidiaries or the protection of their properties. 
 Section 5.03 Taxes. Pay and discharge promptly when
due all material Taxes, imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in respect of its property, before the same shall become delinquent or in default, as well as all lawful claims which, if unpaid, might give rise to a Lien (other than a
Permitted Lien) upon such properties or any part thereof; provided, however, that such payment and discharge shall not be required with respect to any such Tax or claim so long as the validity or amount thereof shall be contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings, and Holdings, the Borrower or the affected Subsidiary, as applicable, shall have set aside on its books reserves in accordance with GAAP with respect thereto.

(i) In the event that (i) in respect of the Senior Secured Notes, the Second Lien Notes or the Senior Subordinated Notes, and any
Refinancing Indebtedness with respect thereto, the rules and regulations of the SEC permit the Borrower, Holdings or any Parent of Entity to report

or in such other form as is reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (each, an “Additional Mortgage”) and constituting valid and enforceable Liens subject to no other Liens except Permitted Liens, at the time of perfection
thereof, record or file, and cause each such Subsidiary to record or file, the Additional Mortgage or instruments related thereto in such manner and in such places as is required by law to establish, perfect, preserve and protect the Liens in favor
of

requirements set forth in paragraph (h) and (i) of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement. 
 (d) If any additional
direct or indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower is formed or acquired after the Closing Date (with any Subsidiary Redesignation resulting in an Unrestricted Subsidiary becoming a Subsidiary being deemed to constitute the acquisition of a
Subsidiary) and if such Subsidiary is a Domestic Subsidiary that is not an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a CFC Holding Company (other than, at the Borrower’s option, Immaterial Subsidiaries), within ten Business Days after the date such
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary is formed or acquired, notify the Collateral Agent and the Lenders thereof and, within 20 Business Days after the date such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary is formed or acquired or such longer period as the Collateral Agent shall

times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (ii) promptly notify the Collateral Agent if any material portion of the Collateral is damaged
or destroyed.

or acquired after such person became a Subsidiary) in accordance with this Agreement if, and to the extent that, and for so long as (A) doing so would violate applicable law or a contractual obligation binding on such Equity Interests, and
(B) with respect to contractual obligations, such obligation existed at the time of the acquisition thereof and was not created or made binding on such Equity Interests in contemplation of or in connection with the acquisition of such
Subsidiary, (v) any assets acquired after the Closing Date, to the extent that, and for so long as, taking such actions would violate applicable law or an enforceable contractual obligation binding on such assets that existed at the time of the
acquisition thereof and was not created or made binding on such assets in contemplation or in connection with the acquisition of such assets (except in the case of assets acquired with Indebtedness of the type permitted pursuant to
Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.01(j) that is secured by a Permitted Lien), (vi) those assets as to

thereby, or (vii) the assets or Equity Interests of any Special Purpose Receivables Subsidiary; provided that, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, Holdings and the Borrower shall, and shall cause any applicable
Subsidiary to, use commercially reasonable efforts to have waived or eliminated any contractual obligation of the types described in clauses (iv) and (v) above. In addition, the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and the provisions of
the Loan Documents shall not require any account control agreements or the taking of any other actions to perfect by control any security interest in any deposit accounts or security accounts, except as provided in Section 5.11. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Security Documents, or any other Loan Document, (i) the
Administrative Agent may grant extensions of time for the requirements of creating or perfecting security interests in or the obtaining of title insurance, legal opinions, appraisals, flood insurance and surveys with respect to particular assets
(including extensions beyond the Closing Date for the perfection of security interests in the assets of the Loan Parties on such date) where it reasonably determines, in consultation with the Borrower, that perfection or obtaining of such items
cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) Liens required to be granted from time to time pursuant to this Agreement
and the Security Documents shall be subject to exceptions and limitations set forth in the Security Documents and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may make such modifications to the Mortgages, and execute and/or consent to such
easements, covenants, rights of way or similar instruments (and Administrative Agent may agree to subordinate the lien of any Mortgage to any such easement, covenant, right of way or similar instrument of record or may agree to recognize any tenant
pursuant to an agreement in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), as are reasonable or necessary and otherwise permitted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

of, or as a primary concentration account for, proceeds of Eligible Accounts of such Loan Party (each such account of a Loan Party subject to a Blocked Account Agreement, a “Blocked Account”), covering each such account maintained
with such Person. 
 (b) Each Blocked Account Agreement shall require, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Availability Triggering Event, the ACH or wire transfer no less frequently than once per Business Day (unless this Agreement has been terminated (other than in respect of contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no
claim has been made) and the Commitments have been terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan, all Fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under any Loan Document have been paid in full and all Letters of Credit have been
canceled or have expired and all amounts drawn thereunder have been reimbursed in full) of all available cash balances and cash receipts,

party thereto, (ii) any security interest purported to be created by any Security Document and to extend to assets that are not immaterial to Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis shall cease to be, or shall be
asserted in writing by the Borrower or any other Loan Party not to be, a valid and perfected security interest (perfected as or having the priority required by this Agreement or the relevant Security Document and subject to such limitations and
restrictions as are set forth herein and therein) in the securities, assets or properties covered thereby, except to the extent that any such loss of perfection or priority results from the limitations of foreign laws, rules and regulations as they

certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Collateral Agreement or to file Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements, and except to the extent that such loss is covered by a lender’s title insurance

 then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (h) or
(i) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different
times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued

all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, and (iii) if the Loans have been declared due and payable pursuant to
clause (ii) above, demand cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(j); and in any event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate, the principal of

Section 8.03 Right to Cure. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01, in the event
that the Borrower fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 8.03, would fail) to comply with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant, until the expiration of the 10th day subsequent to the later of (x) the date the
certificate calculating such Financial Performance Covenant is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(c), and (y) the date an Covenant Triggering Event occurs during any applicable quarter that causes the Borrower to fail to
comply with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant: and 
 (b) Holdings and the Borrower shall have the right to
issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions and, in the case of Holdings, to contribute any such cash to the capital of the Borrower (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the
Borrower of such cash (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by Holdings or the Borrower of such Cure Right such Financial Performance Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to a pro forma adjustment by which EBITDA
shall be increased with respect to such applicable quarter and any four-quarter period that contains such quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring the Financial Performance Covenant and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an
amount equal to the Cure Amount; provided that (i) in each four consecutive 

  
 138

 
fiscal quarter period there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than five times, and
(iii) for purposes of this Section 8.03, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with the Financial Performance Covenant. If, after giving effect to the adjustments in this Section 8.03,
the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with
the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Performance Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement.

THE AGENTS 
 Section 9.01 Appointment. (a) Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and the Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to
Swap Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Swap Agreements) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including as the Collateral Agent for such Lender and the other applicable Secured Parties under the applicable Security Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative
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 the Administrative Agent by the terms of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States, each of the Lenders and the

the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not 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 the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and the Swingline Lender (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Swap
Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Swap Agreements), hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes
of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the

exercising any rights or remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article 9 (including, without limitation, Section 9.07) as though the Administrative Agent (and any
such Subagents) were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 

  
 139

 (c) Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and the Swingline Lender (if applicable) and
on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Swap Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Swap Agreements) irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (A) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all
Obligations (other than in respect of contingent indemnification expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made) and the expiration, termination or cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit, (B) that is sold or to be
sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.08 hereof, (ii) to release any Guarantor from its
obligations under the Loan Documents if such person ceases to be a Subsidiary Loan Party as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, and (iii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under

Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents. 
 (d) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party,
(i) the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any
demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (A) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of any or all of the
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and any Subagents allowed in such judicial proceeding,

any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing
Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under the Loan
Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding. 

  
 140

 Section 9.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of
its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of
counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The
Administrative Agent may also from time to time, when the Administrative Agent deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a
“Subagent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in
writing by the Administrative Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Subagent so appointed by the Administrative Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Subagent such
rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto,
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment
of a new Subagent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney-in-fact or Subagent that it selects in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02 in the absence of
the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Neither any Agent or its Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) 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 (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any
Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any
fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any
duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as the

  
 141

therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness
or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (E) the value or the sufficiency of
any Collateral, or (F) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

Section 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur
any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution), or conversation believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to any Credit Event, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may
presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to such Credit Event. The Administrative Agent may
consult with legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,
accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified
by this Agreement, all or other Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any
such action. The Administrative 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 or other Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. 

Section 9.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of
any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, Holdings or the Borrower 

  
 142

 
referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent
receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or,
if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders); 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. 
 Section 9.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into
this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have
any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party
that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 
 Section 9.07 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and the Revolving Facility Lenders agree to indemnify each Issuing Bank, in each case in its capacity as such (to the
extent not reimbursed by Holdings or the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Holdings or the Borrower to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure and, in the case of the
indemnification of each Agent, and unused Commitments hereunder; provided that the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans owing to the Swingline Lender and of L/C Disbursements owing to any Issuing Bank shall be considered to be owed
to the Revolving Facility Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposure) (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or such Issuing Bank in any way
relating to or arising out of the 

  
 143

 
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 or such Issuing Bank 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 or such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 Section 9.08 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 Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan
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. 
 Section 9.09 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 8.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) 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. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

  
 144

 Section 9.10 Agents and Arrangers. None of the Syndication Agents, the
Documentation Agents or the Joint Lead Arrangers shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their capacity as such. 

Section 9.11 Secured Swap Obligations. (a) The Borrower and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender (the
“Secured Swap Counterparty”) may from time to time designate the obligations in respect of a Swap Agreement to which they are parties as being “Secured Swap Obligations” upon written notice (a “Designation
Notice”) to the Administrative Agent from the Company and the Swap Counterparty, in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which Designation Notice shall include (i) a description of such Swap Agreement and
(ii) the maximum amount (expressed in Dollars) of the Swap Termination Value thereunder, if any, that is elected by the Company and the Swap Counterparty to constitute “Pari Passu Secured Swap Obligations” and as to which an equal
reserve shall be taken against the Borrowing Base (each, a “Designated Pari Passu Amount” and such Secured Swap Obligations (to the extent of such Designated Pari Passu Amount), “Pari Passu Secured Swap
Obligations”); provided that no such Designation Notice shall be effective and no such Designated Pari Passu Amount with respect to any Swap Agreement shall constitute Pari Passu Secured Swap Obligations (and no such reserve shall be
established by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith) to the extent that, at the time of delivery of the applicable Designation Notice and after giving effect to such Designated Pari Passu Amount (including to the reserve for Pari Passu
Secured Swap Obligations to be established by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith), the Availability would be less than zero. 
 (b) The Borrower and the applicable Secured Swap Counterparty may increase, decrease or terminate any Designated Pari Passu Amount in respect of a Swap Agreement upon written notice to the Administrative
Agent, in which case the Administrative Agent shall promptly make a corresponding adjustment to the reserve against the Borrowing Base with respect thereto; provided that any increase in a Designated Pari Passu Amount shall be deemed to be a
new designation of a Designated Pari Passu Amount pursuant to a new Designation Notice and shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.11(a). For the avoidance of doubt, Secured Swap Obligations under any Swap Agreement
designated pursuant to this Section 9.11 in excess of the applicable Designated Pari Passu Amount shall constitute Secured Swap Obligations but shall be entitled to a lesser priority of payment as set forth in Section 2.18(b). 

(c) No holder of Secured Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations that obtains the benefits of Section 2.18(b), any Guarantee
of such obligations or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any other Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or
otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Article 9 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent (including in its capacity as Collateral Agent) shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Swap
Obligations or Cash Management Obligations unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the parties to the applicable agreements.

intranet website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided that (A) the Borrower shall deliver paper
copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent or any Lender that requests the Borrower to deliver such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and (B) the
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender (by telecopier or electronic mail) of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such

Section 5.04(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain copies of the documents referred to above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrower with any
such request for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies of such documents. 
 Section 10.02 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein, in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other
instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and each Issuing Bank and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans,
the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by such persons or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not been
terminated. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements contained herein, 

  
 147

 
indemnification and reimbursement obligations contained herein (including pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 10.05) shall survive the payment in full of the principal and interest
hereunder, the expiration of the Letters of Credit and the termination of the Commitments or this Agreement. 

Section 10.03 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Holdings, the Borrower, each Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective permitted successors and assigns. 
 Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby (including any affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with
this Section 10.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing
Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 10.04), and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the
Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 (b)
(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of: 
 (A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default
under Sections 8.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, any other person; 
 (B)
the Administrative Agent; and 
 (C) each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender. 

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as 

  
 148

 
of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2.5 million with respect to Revolving Facility Loans or
Commitments, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Sections 8.01(b), (c), (h) or
(i) has occurred and is continuing, and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds (with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Related Funds shall be treated as one
assignment), if any; 
 (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that only one such fee shall be due in respect of a simultaneous assignment to more than one Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund;

 (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire and any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17; and 
 (D) the Assignee
shall not be (1) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (2) a Defaulting Lender or (3) a natural person. 
 For the purposes of this Section 10.04, “Approved Fund” means any person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and
similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender, or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to assign or transfer any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any entity previously identified in that certain letter provided on or prior to the Closing Date from the Borrower to
the Administrative Agent. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph
(b)(v) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and
10.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights
and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 10.04. 

  
 149

 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and
Revolving L/C Exposure owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available
for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall
already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded
in the Register as provided in this paragraph (b)(v). 
 (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the
assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the
interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Revolving Facility Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are
as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance; (ii) except as set forth in clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
hereto, or the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) the Assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) the Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this
Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 (or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04), and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) the Assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to 

  
 150

 
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) the Assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) the Assignee agrees that it will
perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in
any Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a
paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act,
or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 (d) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent
of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (x) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that
(1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 10.04(a)(i) or clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (v), (vi) or (vii) of the first proviso to Section 10.08(b), and (2) directly affects
such Participant, and (y) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 10.04, the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.06 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that
sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register in the United States on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts and stated interest
of each Participant’s interest in the Revolving Facility Loans, Commitments or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or
any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan
Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans are in registered form under Treas. Reg. § 5f.103-1(c). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and
such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement. 

  
 151

 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Section 2.17(e) and
(f) as though it were a Lender. 
 (e) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and in the case of any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any pledge or assignment to
any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender, including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section 10.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;
provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(f) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to
facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above. 
 (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit
Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each of Holdings, the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby
confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar
law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and
hold harmless each other party hereto and each Loan Party for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. 

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment may be made or participation sold to an Ineligible Institution. 

Section 10.05 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication of the Commitments or the
administration of this Agreement (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence), and initial and ongoing Collateral examination to the extent incurred with the reasonable prior approval of the Borrower and the reasonable fees,
disbursements and charges for no more than 

  
 152

 
one counsel in each jurisdiction where Collateral is located) or in connection with the administration of this Agreement and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or
thereof (whether or not the Transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated), including the reasonable and documented fees, out-of-pocket charges and disbursements of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and
the Joint Lead Arrangers, and, if necessary, the reasonable and documented fees, out-of-pocket charges and disbursements of one local counsel per jurisdiction, and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Other
Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made or the Letters of Credit
issued hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent (including any special and local counsel). 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective
directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, trustees and advisors (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses, including reasonable and documented fees, out-of-pocket charges and disbursements of one counsel (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel) for all such Indemnitees (plus one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the
event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, additional counsel appointed with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way
connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective
obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Letter of Credit, or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (for purposes of this proviso only, each of the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be
treated as several and separate Indemnitees, but each of them together with its respective Related Parties, shall be treated as a single Indemnitee). Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Borrower agrees to
indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented counsel or consultant fees, out-of-pocket charges and disbursements
(limited to not more than one counsel, plus, if necessary, one local counsel per jurisdiction) (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result
of (A) any Environmental Laws and related in any way to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (B) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on, from or to
any property related in any way to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries; 

  
 153

 
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available (i) to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, (ii) to the extent arising from a material breach
of any such Indemnitee’s obligations under the Loan Documents, or (iii) to the extent arising out of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Loan Parties or any of their affiliates
and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Joint Lead Arranger or any similar role under the Loan
Documents). None of the Indemnitees (or any of their respective affiliates) shall be responsible or liable to the Fund, Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries, Affiliates or stockholders or any other person or entity for any
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which may be alleged as a result of any Revolving Facility or the Transactions. The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the
expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or
any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any
reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested. 
 (c) Except as expressly provided in Section 10.05(a) with
respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17, this Section 10.05 shall not apply to Taxes. 
 (d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Holdings and the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it
through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

(e) The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the
replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.06 Right of Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit
or the account of Holdings, 

  
 154

 
the Borrower or any Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of Holdings or the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or
such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing
Bank under this Section 10.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have. 
 Section 10.07 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 Section 10.08 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or
delay of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure
by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except
(x) as provided in Section 2.21 or 2.23, or in the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to the extent
otherwise provided for therein, (y) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders, and (z) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant
to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that except as expressly set forth in Section 2.21 or 2.23, no
such agreement shall: 
 (i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or
decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any L/C Disbursement, or extend the stated expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,
except as provided in Section 2.05(c); provided that any amendment to the “Borrowing Base,” “Availability” and related definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for
purposes of this clause (i); 

  
 155

 (ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease the
Commitment Fees or L/C Participation Fees or other fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or
Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender); 
 (iii) extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; 

(iv) change the definition of the term “Borrowing Base” or any component definition thereof if as a result
thereof the amounts available to be borrowed by the Borrower would be increased (provided that the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the Administrative Agent to change, establish or eliminate any Reserves without the prior written
consent of any Lenders), in each case without the prior written consent of the Super Majority Lenders; 
 (v)
amend or modify the provisions of this Section 10.08 or the definition of the terms, “Required Lenders,” “Super Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders
required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that with the consent of the Required
Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders and Super Majority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing
Date); 
 (vi) release all or substantially all the Collateral or release any of Holdings, the Borrower or all or
substantially all of the Subsidiary Loan Parties from their respective Guarantees under the applicable Security Document (unless, in each case, any assets or Equity Interests are sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this
Agreement) without the prior written consent of each Lender; or 
 (vii) change the order of application of
proceeds of Collateral set forth in Section 2.18(b) or modify the ratable sharing or payments required thereby without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby; 

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or an
Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification
authorized by this Section 10.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 10.08 shall bind any assignee of such Lender. 
 (c) Without the consent of any Syndication Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger or Lender or Issuing Bank, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent may (in their respective

  
 156

 
sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to
effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or
protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrower (i) to
add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Facility Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof, and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders or
the Super Majority Lenders. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents
may be made with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary to integrate any Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Facility Loans. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment,
waiver or consent hereunder, except that (1) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender, (2) the date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any
fees is due may not be extended without the prior written consent of such Lender, to the extent such Lender is adversely affected thereby, and (3) this Section 10.08 may not be amended or modified without the prior written consent of such
Lender to the extent such Lender is adversely affected thereby. 
 (g) The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may, with
the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender.

 Section 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the
applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or
otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such
Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided that such excess amount shall be paid to
such Lender or such Issuing Bank on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation. 

  
 157

 Section 10.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the
agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the
subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this
Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents. 
 Section 10.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT
NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11. 

Section 10.12 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

Section 10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission (or other electronic
transmission (e.g., a “pdf” or “tif”) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original. 

Section 10.14 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of
reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 Section 10.15 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof (collectively, “New York Courts”), in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other 

  
 158

 
Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may
be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction, except that each of the Loan Parties agrees that (i) it will not bring any such action or proceeding in any court other than New York Courts (it being acknowledged and agreed
by the parties hereto that any other forum would be inconvenient and inappropriate in view of the fact that more of the Lenders who would be affected by any such action or proceeding have contacts with the State of New York than any other
jurisdiction), and (ii) in any such action or proceeding brought against any Loan Party in any other court, it will not assert any cross-claim, counterclaim or setoff, or seek any other affirmative relief, except to the extent that the failure
to assert the same will preclude such Loan Party from asserting or seeking the same in the New York Courts. 
 (b) Each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance
of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 Section 10.16 Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders, each Issuing
Bank and each of the Agents agrees that it shall maintain in confidence any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower and any Subsidiary furnished to it by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than information that
(a) has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party, (b) has been independently developed by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Agent without violating this Section 10.16, or
(c) was available to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Agent from a third party having, to such person’s knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party), and shall not reveal the same
other than to its directors, trustees, officers, employees and advisors with a need to know or to any person that approves or administers the Loans on behalf of such Lender (so long as each such person shall have been instructed to keep the same
confidential in accordance with this Section 10.16, except: (i) to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the requirements of any Governmental Authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of
any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, (ii) as part of normal reporting or review procedures to, or examinations by, Governmental Authorities or
self-regulatory authorities, including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (iii) to its parent companies, Affiliates or auditors (so long as each such person shall have
been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 10.16), (iv) in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding, (v) to any pledgee under Section 10.04(e) or any other
prospective assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (so long as such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this

  
 159

 
Section 10.16), and (vi) to any 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 10.16). 
 Section 10.17 Platform; Borrower Materials. 
 (a) The Borrower hereby
acknowledges that (i) the Administrative Agent and/or the Joint Lead Arrangers will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively,
“Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”), and (ii) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e.,
Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify
that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (iii) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word
“PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (iv) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United
States Federal and state securities laws, (v) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”, and (vi) the
Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public
Investor.” 
 (b) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS
RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR
NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S
TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT. 

  
 160

 Section 10.18 Release of Liens and Guarantees. In the event that any Loan Party
conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of any of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Loan Party or any assets to a person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction
not prohibited by Section 6.05, any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Equity Interests or assets shall be automatically released and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the
Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Holdings or the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense to release any Liens created by any Loan Document in
respect of such Equity Interests or assets, and, in the case of a disposition of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Loan Party in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05, and as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party would cease to be
a Subsidiary Loan Party, such Subsidiary Loan Party’s obligations under its Guarantee shall be automatically terminated and the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative
Agent and/or the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Holdings or the Borrower to terminate such Subsidiary Loan Party’s obligations under its Guarantee. In addition, the
Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent agrees to take such actions as are reasonably requested by Holdings or the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense to terminate the Liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents when
all the Obligations (other than in respect of contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made) are paid in full and all Letters of Credit are cash collateralized or terminated and Commitments are
terminated. 
 Section 10.19 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the
first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement
Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking
procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower
agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the
sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). 

  
 161

 Section 10.20 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as
hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA
PATRIOT Act. 
 Section 10.21 No Liability of the Issuing Banks. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither any Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made
of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in
any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any
reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such
Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as
determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s willful
failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such
Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

 Section 1.02 Terms Generally. The definitions set forth or referred to in
Section 1.01 shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,”
“includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” All references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed references to Articles and
Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Cash Flow Credit Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any reference in this Cash Flow Credit Agreement to any Loan
Document shall mean such document as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in
accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the
Closing Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of
whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective
until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any changes to GAAP after the Closing Date with respect to the accounting treatment of leases

Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of Alternate Currency Letters of Credit. Such Spot Rate shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rate employed in converting any amounts between
the Dollars and each Alternate Currency until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein,
the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as determined by the Administrative Agent. No Default or Event of Default shall arise as a result of any limitation
or threshold set forth in U.S. Dollars in Article 6 or paragraph (f) or (j) of Section 8.01 being exceeded solely as a result of changes in currency exchange rates from those rates applicable on the first day of the fiscal
quarter in which such determination occurs or in respect of which such determination is being made. 

  
 50 

 (b) Wherever in this Cash Flow Credit Agreement in connection with an Alternate Currency
Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, such amount shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternate Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being
rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable. 
 ARTICLE 2 

THE CREDITS 
 Section 2.01 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans to the Borrower from time to time during
the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Cash Flow Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitment or (ii) the total
Cash Flow Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeding the total Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Cash Flow
Revolving Facility Loans. 
 Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a
Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations
hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any
ABR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance
with the terms of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and such Lender shall not be entitled to any amounts payable under Section 2.15 or 2.17 solely in respect of increased costs resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such
exercise. 
 (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Cash Flow Revolving Facility Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. At the time that each ABR Cash Flow Revolving Facility Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an
aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided that an ABR Cash Flow Revolving Facility Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire
unused available balance of the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments, or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the
same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than 10 Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding under the Cash Flow Revolving Facility. 

  
 51 

 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, the Borrower
shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Maturity Date. 

Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. (a) To request a Cash Flow Revolving Facility Borrowing or a Borrowing of Other
Cash Flow Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed
Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an ABR Cash Flow Revolving Facility Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of
an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by
hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written (including by facsimile or other electronic
transmission) Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(i) whether such Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans or Other Cash Flow Revolving Loans;

 (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 

(iii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iv) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; 

(v) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and 
 (vi) the location and
number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed. 
 If no election as to the Type of Revolving Facility
Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Facility Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to
be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 
 (b) Disbursement. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Loan requested pursuant to this Section 2.03. The proceeds of each Loan requested under this Section 2.03 shall be disbursed by the Administrative Agent in Dollars in immediately
available funds, in the case of the initial Borrowing, in 

  
 52 

 
accordance with the terms of the written disbursement letter from the Borrower, and in the case of each subsequent borrowing, by wire transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from the Borrower. If at any time any Loan is funded in excess of the amount requested by the Borrower, the Borrower agrees to repay the excess
to the Administrative Agent promptly upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Borrower’s discovery of the error and (ii) notice thereof to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender. 

Section 2.04 [Reserved]. 
 Section 2.05 Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of (x) trade letters of credit in
support of trade obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries incurred in the ordinary course of business (such letters of credit issued for such purposes, “Trade Letters of Credit”) and (y) standby letters of credit issued
for any other lawful purposes of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (such letters of credit issued for such purposes, “Standby Letters of Credit”) for its own account or for the account of any Subsidiary in a form reasonably
acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period and prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Maturity Date; provided that Credit Suisse
shall not be required to issue any Trade Letter of Credit hereunder without its consent. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of
credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement shall control. “Letters
of Credit” shall include Standby Letters of Credit and Trade Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event that a Revolving Facility Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the
participation in Letters of Credit by all such Defaulting Lenders, including by cash collateralizing, or obtaining a backstop letter of credit from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank to support, each such Defaulting Lender’s
ratable share of each L/C Disbursement. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension: Certain Conditions. To
request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal (other than an automatic extension in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section) or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or
telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (three Business Days in advance of the requested date of
issuance, amendment or extension or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank in their sole discretion may agree) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or
extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount and currency (which
may be Dollars or Alternate Currency) of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, whether such letter of credit constitutes a Standby 

  
 53 

 
Letter of Credit or a Trade Letter of Credit, and such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the
Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment
or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) the total Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed the Letter of Credit
Sublimit, and the Revolving L/C Exposure with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment, (ii) the total Cash Flow Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall
not exceed the total Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments and (iii) in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, the total Revolving L/C Exposure with respect to all Alternate Currency Letters of Credit would exceed $20.0 million.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Credit Suisse shall not be required to issue any Trade Letter of Credit hereunder without its consent. 
 (c) Expiration Date. Each Standby Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year (unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Bank in their sole discretion) after the date of the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year (unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the
Issuing Bank in their sole discretion) after such renewal or extension), and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Maturity Date; provided that any Standby Letter of Credit with one year tenor
may provide for automatic renewal or extension thereof for additional one year periods (which, in no event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (c)) so long as such Standby Letter of Credit permits the
Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof within a time period during such
twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Standby Letter of Credit is issued; provided, further, that if the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent each consent in their sole discretion, the expiration date on any
Standby Letter of Credit may extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above; provided that (x) if any such Standby Letter of Credit is outstanding, or is issued after the date that is 30 days prior to the Cash Flow
Revolving Facility Maturity Date, the Borrower shall provide cash collateral pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank in an amount equal to 105% of the face amount of each such
Standby Letter of Credit on or prior to the date that is 30 days prior to the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Maturity Date or, if later, such date of issuance and (y) each Revolving Facility Lender’s participation in any undrawn Letter of
Credit that is outstanding on the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Maturity Date shall terminate on the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Maturity Date. Each Trade Letter of Credit shall expire on the earlier of (x) 180 days after such Trade Letter of
Credit’s date of issuance or renewal or extension or (y) the date five Business Days prior to the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Maturity Date. 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing
Bank or the Revolving Facility Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Facility Lender, and each Revolving Facility Lender hereby acquires from such 

  
 54 

 
Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Facility Lender’s Cash Flow Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under
such Letter of Credit (calculated, in the case of Alternate Currency Letters of Credit, based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof). In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in Dollars, such Revolving Facility Lender’s Cash Flow Revolving Facility Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank
and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason (calculated, in the case of any Alternate Currency Letter of
Credit, based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof). Each Revolving Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments or the fact that,
as a result of changes in currency exchange rates, such Lender’s Cash Flow Revolving Facility Credit Exposure at any time might exceed its Commitment at such time (in which case Section 2.11(d) would apply), and that each such payment
shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (e) Reimbursement. If the applicable
Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars equal to such L/C Disbursement (or, in the case of an
Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent thereof) not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the third Business Day after the Borrower receives notice under paragraph (g) of this Section of such L/C Disbursement,
together with accrued interest thereon from the date of such L/C Disbursement at the rate applicable to ABR Loans; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with
Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Cash Flow Revolving Facility Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the
resulting ABR Cash Flow Revolving Facility Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to reimburse any L/C Disbursement when due, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each other Revolving Facility Lender of the
applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and, in the case of a Revolving Facility Lender, such Lender’s Cash Flow Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice,
each Revolving Facility Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars its Cash Flow Revolving Facility Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by
such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Facility Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by
it from the Revolving Facility Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to
the extent that Revolving Facility Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Facility Lender
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any 

  
 55 

 
L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to
reimburse such L/C Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse L/C
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other
document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or
equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility
by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission,
interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical
terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank, or any of the circumstances referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to
excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law)
suffered by the Borrower that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply
with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such
determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit,
the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make
payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (g)
Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any such demand for payment under a Letter of Credit and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to
give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Facility Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. 

  
 56 

 (h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement, then,
unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the
date that the Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Cash Flow Revolving Loans; provided that, if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by the Borrower when due pursuant to paragraph
(e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving
Facility Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Facility Lender to the extent of such payment. 

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall
pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the
replaced Issuing Bank under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous
Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and
obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 

(j) Cash Collateralization Following an Event of Default. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) in the
case of an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(h) or (i), on the Business Day or (ii) in the case of any other Event of Default, on the third Business Day, in each case, following the date on which the Borrower receives notice from
the Administrative Agent (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Facility Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral
pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with or at the direction of the Collateral Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash in Dollars equal to the Revolving L/C
Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 8.01, the obligation to
deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind. Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph shall be held by the Collateral
Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such
account. Other 

  
 57 

 
than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing,
the Collateral Agent and (ii) at any other time, the Borrower, in each case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of the Borrower, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall
accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for
the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Facility Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure
representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a
result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 

(k) Cash Collateralization Following Termination and Prepayment of the Facility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
in the event of the prepayment in full of all outstanding Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans and the termination of all Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.08(b) (a “Facility Termination
Event”) in connection with which the Borrower notifies any one or more Issuing Banks that it intends to maintain one or more Letters of Credit initially issued under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement in effect after the date of such Facility
Termination Event (each, a “Continuing Letter of Credit”), then the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral under the Security Documents may be terminated in accordance with Section 7.15 of the Collateral
Agreement and replaced with cash collateral, in an amount in Dollars equal to 102% of the Revolving L/C Exposure with respect to each such Continuing Letter of Credit as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, which shall be
deposited in an account with or at the direction of each such Issuing Bank. 
 (l) Additional Issuing Banks. From time to
time, the Borrower may by notice to the Administrative Agent designate any Lender (in addition to Credit Suisse) which agrees (in its sole discretion) to act in such capacity and that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as an
Issuing Bank. Each such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank
hereunder for all purposes and shall have a Letter of Credit Commitment in the amount set forth in such counterpart. 
 (m)
Reporting. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall (i) provide to the Administrative Agent copies of any notice received from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(b) no later than the next
Business Day after receipt thereof and (ii) report in writing to the Administrative Agent (A) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance,
amendment or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed),
and the Issuing 

  
 58 

 
Bank shall be permitted to issue, amend or extend such Letter of Credit if the Administrative Agent shall not have advised the Issuing Bank that such issuance, amendment or extension would not be
in conformity with the requirements of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, (B) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any L/C Disbursement, the date of such L/C Disbursement and the amount of such L/C Disbursement and (C) on
any other Business Day, such other information with respect to the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, including but not limited to prompt verification of such information
as may be requested by the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall
make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to
the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower specified in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR
Cash Flow Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of a L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender
will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this
Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available
to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans at such time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such
Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 
 (c) The foregoing notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent, in its sole
discretion, may from its own funds make a Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loan on behalf of the Revolving Facility Lenders. In such event, the applicable Revolving Facility Lenders on behalf of whom the Administrative Agent made the Cash Flow Revolving
Facility Loan shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all or any portion of such Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loan made on its behalf upon written notice given to each applicable Revolving Facility Lender not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time,
on the Business Day such reimbursement is requested. On each such settlement date, the Administrative Agent will pay to each such Revolving Facility Lender the net amount owing to such Revolving Facility Lender in connection with such settlement,
including amounts relating to Loans, fees, interest and other amounts payable hereunder. The entire amount of interest attributable to such Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loan for the period from and including the date on which such Cash Flow
Revolving Facility Loan was made on 

  
 59 

 
such Revolving Facility Lender’s behalf to but excluding the date the Administrative Agent is reimbursed in respect of such Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loan by such Revolving Facility
Lender shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for its own account. 
 Section 2.07 Interest Elections.
(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower
may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with
respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of
such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each
such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in the form of Exhibit C and signed by the
Borrower. 
 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request
applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and
(iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made
pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting
Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a
Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by clause (a) of the definition of the term “Interest Period.” 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall
be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest
Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

  
 60 

 (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a
Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding
any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long
as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 Section 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless
previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Maturity Date. 
 (b) The Borrower
may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of
$1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments) and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments if, after
giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the total Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments. 

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of
this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
applicable Revolving Facility Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments
delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

 Section 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loan to the Borrower on the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Maturity Date. 

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower
to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

  
 61 

 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and
(iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded
therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Cash Flow Credit Agreement. 
 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note substantially
in the form of Exhibit E hereto (a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such
Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns. 

Section 2.10 Repayment of Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans. 

(a) To the extent not previously paid, all outstanding Loans shall be due and payable on the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Maturity Date.

 (b) Prior to any repayment of any Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings
to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, on the day of the scheduled date of such repayment, and
(ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. In the case of prepayments under Section 2.11(a), the Borrower may in its sole discretion select the Borrowing or Borrowings to
be prepaid. Each repayment of a Borrowing (x) in the case of the Cash Flow Revolving Facility, shall be applied to the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Revolving Facility Lender receives its
ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective Cash Flow Revolving Facility Credit Exposures of the Revolving Facility Lenders at the time of such repayment) and (y) in all other cases, shall be applied ratably to the Loans included
in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments of Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid. 

Section 2.11 Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any
Loan in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount
outstanding, subject to prior written notice in accordance with Section 2.10(b), which notice shall be irrevocable except to the extent conditioned on a refinancing of all or any portion of the Cash Flow Revolving Facility, in which case such
notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. 

  
 62 

 (b) In the event the total Cash Flow Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeds the total
Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments, then the Borrower shall promptly prepay outstanding Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans and/or cash collateralize Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(j) in an aggregate amount equal to such
excess. 
 (c) In the event and on such occasion as the Revolving L/C Exposure exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit, at the
request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j) in an amount equal to such excess. 

(d) If as a result of changes in currency exchange rates, on any Revaluation Date, the Revolving L/C Exposure with respect to all
Alternate Currency Letters of Credit exceeds $20.0 million, the Borrower shall at the request of the Administrative Agent, within 5 Business Days of such Revaluation Date, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 2.05(j), in an aggregate amount such that the applicable exposure does not exceed the applicable commitment, sublimit or amount set forth above. 
 Section 2.12 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, on the date that is five (5) Business Days
after the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year, and three Business Days after the date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a
“Commitment Fee”) on the daily amount of the Available Unused Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the date on which the last of the Commitments of
such Lender shall be terminated) at a rate equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to
accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Facility Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and
December of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) on such Lender’s Cash Flow Revolving
Facility Percentage of the daily aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements), during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the
Cash Flow Revolving Facility Maturity Date or the date on which the Commitments shall be terminated) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Cash Flow Revolving Facility Borrowings effective for each day in such period,
and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account (x) three Business Days after the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Commitments of all the
Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the 

  
 63 

 
period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum of the daily
average stated amount of such Letter of Credit), plus (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of any such Letter of Credit or any L/C Disbursement thereunder, such Issuing Bank’s customary documentary and
processing fees and charges (collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees that are payable in Dollars on a per annum basis shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
in a year of 360 days. 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay the agency fees to (x) the Administrative Agent, for the account
of the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent Fees”) and (y) to the Collateral Agent, for the account of the Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Agent Fees”), in each case set forth in the Fee Letter, as
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, at the times specified therein. 
 (d) All Fees shall
be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Banks. Once paid, none
of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. 
 Section 2.13 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising
each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency
Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon
acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided
in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that this paragraph (c) shall not
apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.08. 
 (d) Accrued interest on
each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and (ii) in the case of Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (A) interest accrued pursuant
to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest
on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (C) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on
such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

  
 64 

 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
interest computed by reference to the ABR at times when the ABR is based on the prime rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable ABR, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

Section 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall
give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to
or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto an ABR Borrowing, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 

Section 2.15 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank; 
 (ii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other
obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or 
 (iii) impose on
any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent of making or maintaining any Loan (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or

  
 65 

 
receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or the
Administrative Agent, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or the Loans made by, or
participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from
time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any
such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that any such
certificate claiming amounts described in clause (x) or (y) of the definition of Change in Law shall, in addition, state the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certify that such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s method
of allocating such costs is fair and reasonable and that such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s demand for payment of such costs hereunder, and such method of allocation, is not inconsistent with its treatment of other borrowers which, as a
credit matter, are substantially similar to the Borrower and which are subject to similar provisions. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof. 
 (d) Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased
compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or
reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period
of retroactive effect thereof. 

  
 66 

 (e) The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not apply in the case of any
Change in Law in respect of Taxes imposed on payments on the Loans, which shall instead be governed by Section 2.17. 

Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other
than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure
to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a
result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or
expense to any Lender shall be the amount determined by such Lender (it being understood that the deemed amount shall not exceed the actual amount) to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the
principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the
case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurocurrency Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the
interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount
or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to such Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 Section 2.17 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of any Loan Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if a Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such
payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing
Bank, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other
Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, on
or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including 

  
 67 

 
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender or an Issuing Bank,
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, on behalf of another Agent or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a
certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified
Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do
so), (ii) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes that are attributable to such Lender
and are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and
apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

 (f) In the event the Borrower is a resident for tax purposes in a jurisdiction other than the United States of America, any
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax or backup withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower, in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to the date such documentation is due under applicable law to permit such
payments to be made without such withholding Tax or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation under this paragraph (e) with respect to any withholding Tax imposed by any jurisdiction other than
the United States if in the reasonable judgment of such Lender such compliance would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect.

 (g) In the event the Borrower is a resident for tax purposes in the United States of
America, each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two original copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), claiming
eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), (iii) in the
case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the
meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), (iv) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, together
with forms and certificates described in clauses (i) through (iii) above (and additional Form W-8IMYs) as may be required or (v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in
United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. In addition, in each of
the foregoing circumstances, each Foreign Lender that is not an exempt recipient within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c) shall deliver such forms, if legally entitled to deliver such forms, promptly upon the obsolescence,
expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. If a payment made to a Lender or Agent hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Agent were to fail to comply with
the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed
by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or Agent has complied
with such Lender’s or Agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 2.17(g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the
date of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement. Each Foreign 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 United States of America or other taxing authorities for such purpose). In addition, each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W9 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party and upon the expiration of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
paragraph, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. 

  
 69 

 (h) (i) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers (in such number of copies as
shall be requested by the Borrowers) on or prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and from time to time thereafter (A) promptly upon the obsolescence,
expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered to the Administrative Agent and (B) upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers, a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8IMY (or any other form
prescribed by Applicable Laws reasonably requested by the Borrowers). 
 (ii) If the Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch
described in Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) of the Treasury Regulations and delivers to the Borrowers a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY pursuant to Section 2.17(f)(i) certifying that the
Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch and intends to be treated as a U.S. person for purposes of withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. person for
purposes of withholding under Chapter 3 of the Code, pursuant to Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(v) of the Treasury Regulations. 

(i) If the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender determines in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a
refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan
Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion, and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, agrees to repay as soon
as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in the event the
Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.17(i) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to make
available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems, in good faith and in its sole discretion, to be confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other person. 

Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set Offs. (a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower
shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16, or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on
the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in

  
 70 

 
the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to
the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to
Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly
following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon
shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under the Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the
Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such
payment. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to
pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees and other Obligations then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements and any other applicable
intercreditor agreements: first, ratably, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Bank from the Borrower under the Loan Documents; second, ratably, to pay
interest due and payable in respect of any unreimbursed L/C Disbursements; third, ratably to pay principal of unreimbursed L/C Disbursements; fourth, ratably, to pay any fees or expenses reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower under
the Loan Documents; fifth, ratably, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans; sixth, ratably, to pay principal of Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans then due from the Borrower hereunder and any Pari Passu
Secured Swap Obligations; seventh, ratably, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j); eighth, ratably, to the payment of any Secured Swap Obligations that do not constitute Pari
Passu Secured Swap Obligations; ninth, ratably, to the payment of any other Obligations due to the Agents or any Lender by the Borrower; and tenth, to the Borrower or as the Borrower shall direct or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise
direct. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect
of any principal of or interest on any of its Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Cash Flow Revolving Facility
Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Cash Flow
Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are 

  
 71 

 
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any payment obtained by
a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant (other than to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower as to which
the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

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

 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b)
or (c), or 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 Section 2.19 Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such
Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the 

  
 72 

 
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent,
require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement to an assignee that
shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if in respect of
any Commitment, Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loan or Other Cash Flow Revolving Loan, each Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or
the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will
result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. 

(c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver,
discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 10.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower shall have the right
(unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) at its sole expense (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(b)(ii)(B)) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by deeming (by notice to
such Non-Consenting Lender) such Non Consenting Lender to have assigned its Loan, and its Commitments hereunder, to one or more assignees that have consented to such assignment and that are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and
the Issuing Bank; provided that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender (including accrued Fees and any amounts due under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17) being replaced shall be paid in full to such
Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the
Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 10.04. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with
an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interest hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.19(c)
and the Administrative Agent agrees to effect such assignment; provided that, if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 10.04 within three Business Days after the Borrower’s request, compliance with
Section 10.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment. 
 Section 2.20 Illegality. If any Lender
reasonably determines that any change in law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date 

  
 73 

 
that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative
Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert all Eurocurrency Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings,
either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 

Section 2.21 Incremental Commitments. 
 (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time after the Closing Date, and prior to the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Maturity Date, request that the Incremental
Amount be provided by one or more Incremental Cash Flow Revolving Facility Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments in their own discretion; provided that
each Incremental Cash Flow Revolving Facility Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such Incremental Cash Flow Revolving Facility Lender is a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $5.0 million), (ii) the date on
which such Incremental Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments are requested to become effective (the “Increased Amount Date”) and (iii) whether such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments are to be Cash Flow Revolving
Facility Commitments or commitments to make revolving loans with pricing terms, final maturity date, upfront or similar fees and/or participation in prepayments different from the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans (“Other Cash Flow
Revolving Loans”). If the initial pricing terms on the requested Other Cash Flow Revolving Loans (which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above Adjusted LIBO Rate on the requested Other Cash Flow Revolving Loans and
(y) any original issue discount or upfront fees paid to all lenders providing such Other Cash Flow Revolving Loans with respect to the requested Other Cash Flow Revolving Loans divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of
such Other Cash Flow Revolving Loans and (B) four) exceeds the pricing terms of any of the then existing Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans (which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the Applicable Margin then in effect for such existing Cash
Flow Revolving Facility Loans that are Eurocurrency Cash Flow Revolving Loans and (y) any original issue discount or upfront fees payable to all Revolving Facility Lenders with respect to such existing Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans,
divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such existing Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans and (B) four) by more than 50 basis points, then the applicable margin then in effect for each such existing Cash Flow Revolving
Facility Loan shall automatically be increased to the extent necessary such that the pricing terms (as defined above) of each such existing Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans is equal to the pricing terms of the requested Other Cash Flow Revolving
Facility Loans minus 50 basis points, effective upon the making of the requested Other Cash Flow Revolving Loans. 

  
 74 

 (b) The Borrower and each Incremental Cash Flow Revolving Facility Lender shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitment of such Incremental Cash
Flow Revolving Facility Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that (i) the Other Cash Flow Revolving Loans shall have the
same guarantees as and rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security with the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans and, except as to pricing, final maturity date, participation in prepayments and/or upfront or similar fees,
shall have (x) the same terms as the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans, or (y) intercreditor arrangements and such other terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) the final maturity date of any Other
Cash Flow Revolving Loans shall be no earlier than the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Maturity Date then in effect, and (iii) the Other Cash Flow Revolving Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater
than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayment or commitment reduction hereunder. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement in accordance with its terms, this Cash
Flow Credit Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments evidenced thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
Section 10.08 of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement. Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.

 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitment shall become effective under this
Section 2.21 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, both before and after such effectiveness, (x) there is no Default or Event of Default and (y) the Borrower shall be in Pro Forma Compliance, (ii) the Administrative
Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and containing calculations in reasonable detail demonstrating compliance with the requirement contained in preceding
subclause (i)(y), and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received customary legal opinions, board resolutions and other customary closing certificates and documentation as required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement and, to
the extent required by the Administrative Agent, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02 and such additional customary documents and filings (including amendments to the Mortgages and other Security Documents and
title endorsement bringdowns) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to assure that the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans and/or Other Cash Flow Revolving Loans in respect of the Incremental Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments are
secured by the Collateral ratably with (or, to the extent agreed by the applicable Incremental Cash Flow Revolving Facility Lenders in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, junior to) the existing Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans.

 (d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably
necessary to ensure that all Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans in respect of Incremental Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments (other than Other Cash Flow Revolving Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Cash
Flow Revolving Facility Loans on a pro rata basis. The Borrower agrees that Section 2.16 shall apply to any conversion of Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing.

  
 75 

 Section 2.22 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Cash Flow
Credit Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such
Commitment Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender); and 
 (b) any amount
payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c)) shall, in lieu of being
distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent
(i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank
hereunder, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any Issuing Bank, to cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Cash Flow Revolving Facility Percentage of the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by
such Issuing Bank other than any Letter of Credit (or portion thereof) as to which such Defaulting Lender’s participation obligation has been cash collateralized by pledging and depositing with or delivering to the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Issuing Banks and the non-Defaulting Lenders, as collateral for the Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent and the Issuing Banks (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders), (iv) fourth, as the Borrower may request, to the funding of any Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has
failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (vi) fifth, held in such account as cash collateral and released, pro rata, in order to (x) satisfy such
Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ potential future fronting exposure with
respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to potential future Letters of Credit issued under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, (vii) seventh, to the payment
of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Cash Flow
Credit Agreement, and (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans
in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and that were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 were satisfied, such 

  
 76 

 
payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Cash Flow Revolving
Facility Loans of any Defaulting Lender. 
 (c) In the event that the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Borrower
each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans of the other Lenders or
take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be in accordance with its Cash Flow Revolving Facility
Percentage, as applicable. 
 Section 2.23 Extended Revolving Facility Commitments. 

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or any portion of the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments
under any Facility (an “Existing Revolving Facility”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) and/or termination date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of the loans or commitments in
respect of such Existing Revolving Facility (any such Cash Flow Revolving Facility which has been so converted, an “Extended Revolving Facility”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.23. In order to
establish any Extended Revolving Facility, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolving Facility) (an “Extension
Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Facility to be established which shall be substantially identical to the Existing Revolving Facility which is being converted except that: 

(i) all or any of the scheduled payments of principal (including the maturity date) and/or termination dates of the
Extended Revolving Facility may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled payments of principal (including the maturity date) and/or termination dates of such Existing Revolving Facility to the extent provided in the applicable Extension
Amendment; 
 (ii) the interest margins and commitment fees with respect to the Extended Revolving Facility may
be different than the interest margins and commitment fees for the Existing Revolving Facility and upfront fees may be paid to the Extending Lenders, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; 

(iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the latest
final maturity or termination date of the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Facility; and 

(iv) no commitments in respect of such Extended Revolving Facility may be optionally reduced or terminated prior to the
date on which the commitments under the Existing Revolving Facility from which they were converted are terminated unless such optional reduction or termination is accompanied by a pro rata optional reduction of the commitments under such Existing
Revolving Facility. 

  
 77 

 (b) Any Extended Revolving Facility converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be
designated a series (an “Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Facility Commitments for all purposes of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Facility converted from an Existing Revolving Facility
may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolving Facility. 

(c) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders
under the Existing Revolving Facility are requested to respond. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Loans and commitments of any Existing Revolving Facility converted into an Extended Revolving Facility pursuant to any
Extension Request. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or any portion of its Loans and commitments under the Existing Revolving Facility subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Revolving
Facility, shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Loans and commitments under the Existing Revolving Facility which it has
elected to request be converted into Extended Revolving Facility. In the event that the aggregate amount of commitments under an Existing Revolving Facility subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of commitments under an Extended Revolving
Facility requested pursuant to the Extension Request, commitments subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to commitments under an Extended Revolving Facility on a pro rata basis based on the amount of commitments included in each such
Extension Election. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any other

case prior and superior in right to any other person (other than with respect to the rights of a person pursuant to (i) Permitted Liens and (ii) Liens permitted hereby that are pari passu or have priority by operation of law).

 (e) Notwithstanding anything herein (including this Section 3.17), or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, other
than to the extent set forth in the applicable Foreign Pledge Agreements, no Borrower or any other Loan Party makes any representation or warranty as to the effects of perfection or non-perfection, the priority or the enforceability of any pledge of
or security interest in any Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party, or as to the rights and remedies of the Agents or any Lender with respect thereto, under foreign law.

after giving effect to the Transactions on the Closing Date, (i) the fair value of the assets of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, respectively; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated

otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or

engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date. 

  
 85 

 (b) On the Closing Date, neither Holdings nor the Borrower intends to, and neither Holdings
nor the Borrower believes that it or any of its subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by it or any such subsidiary and the timing and
amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness, or the Indebtedness of any such subsidiary.

against Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of Holdings, the Borrower or such Subsidiary to the
extent required by GAAP. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to a right of termination or right to renegotiation on
the part of any union under any material collective bargaining agreement to which Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is a party or by which Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is
bound. 
 Section 3.21 Insurance. Schedule 3.21 sets forth a true, complete and correct description of
all material insurance maintained by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower or the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. As of such date, such insurance is in full force and effect. 

Section 3.22 No Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 Section 3.23
Intellectual Property; Licenses; Etc. Except as to matters that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect: (a) the Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries owns, or possesses the
right to use, all of the patents, registered trademarks, registered service marks or trade names, registered copyrights or mask works, domain names, and applications and registrations for any of the foregoing (collectively, “Intellectual
Property Rights”) that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, without conflict with the rights of any other person; (b) to the knowledge of the Borrower, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries are not
interfering with, infringing upon, misappropriating or otherwise violating Intellectual Property Rights of any person; and (c) no claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened.

“Designated Senior Debt” (or the equivalent thereof) under the Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture and under the documentation governing any Permitted Additional Debt constituting subordinated Indebtedness or any Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness or Permitted Additional Refinancing Debt in respect of the Senior Subordinated Notes or any Permitted Additional Debt constituting subordinated Indebtedness.

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS 
 The Borrower covenants and agrees with each Lender that so long as this Cash Flow Credit Agreement shall remain in effect (other than in respect of contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement

connection with the acquisition of such Subsidiary, (v) any assets acquired after the Closing Date, to the extent that, and for so long as, taking such actions would violate applicable law or an enforceable contractual obligation binding on
such assets that existed at the time of the acquisition thereof and was not created or made binding on such assets in contemplation or in connection with the acquisition of such assets (except in the case of assets acquired with Indebtedness of the
type permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.01(j) that is secured by a Permitted Lien), (vi) those assets as to which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine that the costs of obtaining or perfecting

deposit accounts or security accounts.

Security Documents, or any other Loan Document, (i) the Administrative Agent may grant extensions of time for or waivers of the requirements of creating or perfecting security interests in or the obtaining of title insurance, legal opinions,
appraisals, flood insurance and surveys with respect to particular assets (including extensions beyond the Closing Date for the perfection of security interests in the assets of the Loan Parties on such date) where it reasonably determines, in

Documents, (ii) Liens required to be granted from time to time pursuant to this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and the Security Documents shall be subject to exceptions and limitations set forth in the Security Documents and (iii) the

 123

 (l) (i) any material provision of any Loan Document shall for any reason be asserted in
writing by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary not to be a legal, valid and binding obligation of any party thereto, (ii) any security interest purported to be created by any Security Document and to extend to assets that are not
immaterial to Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis shall cease to be, or shall be asserted in writing by the Borrower or any other Loan Party not to be, a valid and perfected security interest (perfected as or having
the priority required by this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or the relevant Security Document and subject to such limitations and restrictions as are set forth herein and therein) in the securities, assets or properties covered thereby, except to the
extent that any such loss of perfection or priority results from the limitations of foreign laws, rules and regulations as they apply to pledges of Equity Interests in Foreign Subsidiaries or the application thereof, or from the failure of the
Collateral Agent (or such other Person as is provided in the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement) to maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Collateral Agreement or to file Uniform

Notes Indenture and under the documentation governing any Permitted Additional Debt constituting subordinated Indebtedness or any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the Senior Subordinated Notes or any Permitted Additional Debt
constituting subordinated Indebtedness, or (ii) the subordination provisions thereunder shall be invalidated or otherwise cease, or shall be asserted in writing by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party to be invalid or to cease to
be legal, valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with their terms; 
 then, and in every such event
(other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice
to the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the
principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due
and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, and (iii) if
the Loans have been declared due and payable pursuant to clause (ii) above, demand cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(j); and in any event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) above, the
Commitments shall automatically terminate, the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued

  
 124

 
hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have made a demand for cash collateral to the full extent
permitted under Section 2.05(j), without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding. 
 Section 8.02 Exclusion of Immaterial Subsidiaries. Solely for the purposes of determining
whether an Event of Default has occurred under clause (h), (i) or (l) of Section 8.01, any reference in any such clause to any Subsidiary shall be deemed not to include any Immaterial Subsidiary affected by any event or
circumstance referred to in any such clause. 
 Section 8.03 Right to Cure. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in Section 7.01, in the event that the Borrower fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 8.03, would fail) to comply with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant, until the expiration of the 10th
day subsequent to the date the certificate calculating such Financial Performance Covenant is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(c); and 
 (b) Holdings and the Borrower shall have the right to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions and, in the case of Holdings, to contribute any such cash to the
capital of the Borrower (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Borrower of such cash (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by Holdings or the Borrower of such Cure Right such Financial
Performance Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to a pro forma adjustment by which EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable quarter and any four-quarter period that contains such quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring
the Financial Performance Covenant and not for any other purpose under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; provided that (i) in each four consecutive fiscal quarter period there shall be at least two
fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than five times, and (iii) for purposes of this Section 8.03, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for
purposes of complying with the Financial Performance Covenant. If, after giving effect to the adjustments in this Section 8.03, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or
default of the Financial Performance Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 THE AGENTS 

Section 9.01 Appointment. (a) Each Lender (in its capacity as a Lender and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as
potential counterparties to Swap Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Swap Agreements) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as
the agent of such Lender under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including as the Collateral Agent for such Lender and the other applicable Secured Parties under the applicable Security Documents, and each such Lender
irrevocably authorizes the 

  
 125

 
Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and
perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent
required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States, each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Security Document governed by the laws of
such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s behalf. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not 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 Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or
otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender (in its capacity as a
Lender and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Swap Agreements) and each Issuing Bank (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Swap Agreements), hereby appoints
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such
powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent (and any Subagents appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the
Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights or remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article 9 (including,
without limitation, Section 9.07) as though the Administrative Agent (and any such Subagents) were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 

(c) Each Lender (in its capacity as a Lender and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Swap Agreements)
and each Issuing Bank (in such capacities and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Swap Agreements) irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (i) to release any Lien
on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (A) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than in respect of contingent indemnification expense reimbursement
obligations for which no claim has been made) and the expiration, termination or cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit, (B) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other
Loan Document, or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.08 hereof, (ii) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents if such person ceases to be a Subsidiary Loan
Party as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, and (iii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by
Section 6.02(i) or 6.02(j). Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or
to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents. 

  
 126

 (d) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, (i) the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (A) to file and prove a
claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of any or all of the Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and any Subagents allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (B) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and
(ii) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if
the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the
claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding. 
 Section 9.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative
Agent may execute any of its duties under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) by or through agents, employees or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent may also from time to time, when the Administrative Agent deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents,
collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and
except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Subagent so appointed by the Administrative Agent to more fully or
certainly vest in and confirm to such Subagent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the
Administrative Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be
exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney-in-fact or Subagent that it selects in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02 in the absence of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

  
 127

 Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent or its Affiliates nor any
of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such person under or in connection with this Cash Flow Credit
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 (b) 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 Cash Flow Credit 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 Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be
under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of any Loan Party. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the
Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as
the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the
Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (C) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Cash Flow
Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (E) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral,
or (F) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

Section 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur
any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution), or conversation believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person,
and shall not incur any liability for 

  
 128

 
relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to any Credit Event, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any Issuing Bank, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to such Credit Event. The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed
with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of
the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, all or other Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in
accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, all or other Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all
future holders of the Loans. 
 Section 9.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender, Holdings or the Borrower referring to this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, describing such Default or
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent
shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, all or other Lenders); 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. 
 Section 9.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender
expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken,
including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Cash Flow Credit 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 

  
 129

 
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 Cash Flow Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for
notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of
its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 
 Section 9.07 Indemnification. The
Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and the Revolving Facility Lenders agree to indemnify each Issuing Bank, in each case in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Holdings or the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of
Holdings or the Borrower to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its aggregate Cash Flow Revolving Facility Exposure and, in the case of the indemnification of each Agent, and unused Commitments hereunder; provided
that the aggregate principal amount of L/C Disbursements owing to any Issuing Bank shall be considered to be owed to the Revolving Facility Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Cash Flow Revolving Facility Credit Exposure) (determined
at the time such indemnity is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or
after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Cash Flow Credit 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 or such Issuing Bank 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 or such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its
ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender’s ratable share of such
amount. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

Section 9.08 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 Letter of Credit participated in, by it, each
Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Cash Flow Credit 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.

 Section 9.09 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 Cash Flow Credit 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 8.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) 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 Cash Flow Credit 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. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 9.10 Agents and Arrangers. Neither the Syndication Agents nor any of the Joint Lead Arrangers shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their capacity as such. 

Section 9.11 Secured Swap Obligations. (a) The Borrower and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender (the
“Secured Swap Counterparty”) may from time to time designate the obligations in respect of a Swap Agreement to which they are parties as being “Secured Swap Obligations” upon written notice (a “Designation
Notice”) to the Administrative Agent from the Company and the Swap Counterparty, in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which Designation Notice shall include (i) a description of such Swap Agreement and
(ii) the maximum amount (expressed in Dollars) of the Swap Termination Value thereunder, if any, that is elected by the Company and the Swap Counterparty to constitute “Pari Passu Secured Swap Obligations” (each, a “Designated
Pari Passu Amount” and such Secured Swap Obligations (to the extent of such Designated Pari Passu Amount), “Pari Passu Secured Swap Obligations”). 
 (b) The Borrower and the applicable Secured Swap Counterparty may increase, decrease or terminate any Designated Pari Passu Amount in respect of a Swap Agreement upon written notice to the Administrative
Agent; provided that any increase in a Designated Pari Passu Amount shall be deemed to be a new designation of a Designated Pari Passu Amount pursuant to a new Designation Notice and shall be subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 9.11(a). For the avoidance of doubt, Secured Swap Obligations under any Swap Agreement designated pursuant to this Section 9.11 in excess of the applicable Designated Pari Passu Amount shall constitute Secured Swap Obligations but
shall be entitled to a lesser priority of payment as set forth in Section 2.18(b). 

  
 131

 (c) No holder of Secured Swap Obligations that obtains the benefits of Section 2.18(b),
any Guarantee of such obligations or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any other Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Article 9 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent (including in its capacity as Collateral Agent) shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to,
Secured Swap Obligations unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the parties to the applicable agreements.

the Borrower’s behalf on an Internet or intranet website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided that
(A) the Borrower shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent or any Lender that requests the Borrower to deliver such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, and (B) the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender (by telecopier or electronic mail) of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail
electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in every instance the Borrower shall be required to provide paper copies of the certificates required by Section 5.04(c) to the
Administrative Agent. Except for such certificates required by Section 5.04(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain copies of the documents referred to above, and

  
 133

 
in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrower with any such request for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or
maintaining its copies of such documents. 
 Section 10.02 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein, in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and each Issuing Bank and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the issuance of the Letters of Credit,
regardless of any investigation made by such persons or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement or any Fee or any other amount payable under
this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements contained
herein, indemnification and reimbursement obligations contained herein (including pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 10.05) shall survive the payment in full of the principal and interest hereunder, the expiration of the Letters of Credit and
the termination of the Commitments or this Cash Flow Credit Agreement. 
 Section 10.03 Binding Effect. This Cash
Flow Credit Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures
of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Holdings, the Borrower, each Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

 Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), and (ii) no Lender may
assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.04. Nothing in this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the
parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 10.04), and, to
the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees
(each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of: 
 (A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall
be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under Sections 8.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, any other person; 

  
 134

 (B) the Administrative Agent; and 

(C) each Issuing Bank. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the
amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2.5
million with respect to Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans or Commitments, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of
Default under Sections 8.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds (with simultaneous assignments to or by two
or more Related Funds shall be treated as one assignment), if any; 
 (B) the parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the
Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that only one such fee shall be due in respect of a simultaneous assignment to
more than one Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund; 
 (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17; and 
 (D) the Assignee shall not be (1) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (2) a Defaulting Lender or (3) a natural person. 

For the purposes of this Section 10.04, “Approved Fund” means any person (other than a natural person) that is
engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a 

  
 135

 
Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender, or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to
assign or transfer any portion of its rights and obligations under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement to any entity previously identified in that certain letter provided on or prior to the Closing Date from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) below, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Cash
Flow Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and
10.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender
of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 10.04. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any
written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or
not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (b)(v). 

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder shall be deemed
to confirm to and agree with each other 

  
 136

 
and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse
claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance;
(ii) except as set forth in clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Cash Flow Credit Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the
financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) the Assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) the Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Cash
Flow Credit Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 (or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04), and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) the Assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender 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 decisions in taking or not taking action under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement; (vi) the Assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) the Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the
same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

(d) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or
other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that
(A) such Lender’s obligations under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement. Any agreement
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and the other Loan 

  
 137

 
Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (x) such agreement may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 10.04(a)(i) or
clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi) or (vii) of the first proviso to Section 10.08(b), and (2) directly affects such Participant, and (y) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist
between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 10.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were
a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.06 as though it were a Lender;
provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register in
the United States on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts and stated interest of each Participant’s interest in the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans, Commitments or other obligations under the
Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any
information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans are in registered
form under Treas. Reg. § 5f.103-1(c). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement. 
 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is
made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Section 2.17(e)
and (f) as though it were a Lender. 
 (e) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and in the case of any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any pledge
or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender, including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section 10.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a
security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(f) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to
facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above. 

  
 138

 (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it
may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each of Holdings, the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a
Conduit Lender or join any other person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment
in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto and each
Loan Party for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. 
 (h) If the Borrower wishes to replace the Loans or Commitments with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three
Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders to assign such Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its
designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 10.08 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 10.08(d)). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans and
Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrower),
accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 10.05(b). By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments pursuant
to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit A, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph (h) are intended to
facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement. 
 (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment may be made or participation sold to an Ineligible Institution. 
 Section 10.05 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative
Agent in connection with the preparation of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication of the Commitments or the administration of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement
(including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence), and initial and ongoing Collateral examination to the extent incurred with the reasonable prior approval of the Borrower and the reasonable fees, disbursements and charges for no more
than one counsel in each jurisdiction where Collateral is located) or in connection with the administration of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the
Transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated), including the reasonable and documented fees, out-of-pocket charges and disbursements of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers,
and, if necessary, the reasonable and documented fees, out-of-pocket charges and disbursements of one local counsel 

  
 139

 
per jurisdiction, and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement
or protection of their rights in connection with this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for
the Administrative Agent (including any special and local counsel). 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative
Agent, the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, trustees and advisors (each such person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented fees, out-of-pocket charges and disbursements of one
counsel (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel) for all such Indemnitees (plus one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, additional counsel appointed with the consent
of the Borrower such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Cash Flow Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other
transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Letter of Credit, or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is
a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee (for purposes of this proviso only, each of the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be treated as several and separate Indemnitees, but each of them together with its respective Related
Parties, shall be treated as a single Indemnitee). Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented counsel or consultant fees, out-of-pocket charges and disbursements (limited to not more than one counsel, plus, if necessary, one local counsel per jurisdiction)
(except the allocated costs of in-house counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (A) any Environmental Laws and related in any way to Holdings, the Borrower or any of
their respective Subsidiaries, or (B) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on, from or to any property related in any way to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective
Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available (i) to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, (ii) to the extent arising from a material breach of any such Indemnitee’s obligations
under the Loan Documents, or (iii) to the extent arising out of any claim, litigation, investigation or 

  
 140

 
proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Loan Parties or any of their affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than claims against an
Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Joint Lead Arranger or any similar role under the Loan Documents). None of the Indemnitees (or any of their respective affiliates) shall be responsible
or liable to the Fund, Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective subsidiaries, Affiliates or stockholders or any other person or entity for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which may be alleged as a result of any
Cash Flow Revolving Facility or the Transactions. The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other
amount requested. 
 (c) Except as expressly provided in Section 10.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be
duplicative with any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17, this Section 10.05 shall not apply to Taxes. 
 (d) To the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Holdings and the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter
of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other
information transmission systems in connection with this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 (e) The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement. 

Section 10.06 Right of Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing
Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), at any time held and other indebtedness at any
time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of Holdings or the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Cash Flow Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or such other Loan Document and although
the obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 10.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have.

  
 141

 Section 10.07 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS CASH FLOW CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

Section 10.08 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in
exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on
Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 (b) Neither this Cash Flow Credit Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) as provided in Section 2.21 or 2.23, or
in the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Collateral Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to the extent otherwise
provided for therein, (y) in the case of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders, and (z) in the case of any other Loan Document,
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that except as expressly set forth in Section 2.21 or
2.23 no such agreement shall: 
 (i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity
of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any L/C Disbursement, or extend the stated expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Maturity Date, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby, except as provided in Section 2.05(c); provided that any amendment to the financial covenant definitions in this Cash Flow Credit Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause
(i); 
 (ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease the Commitment Fees or L/C Participation
Fees or other fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that waivers 

  
 142

 
or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of
any Lender); 
 (iii) extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any
Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; 
 (iv) amend the
provisions of Section 5.02 of the Collateral Agreement, or any analogous provision of any other Security Document, in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of
each Lender adversely affected thereby; 
 (v) [Reserved]; 

(vi) amend or modify the provisions of this Section 10.08 or the definition of the term, “Required
Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of
each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Cash Flow Credit Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on
substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date); 
 (vii) release all
or substantially all the Collateral or release any of Holdings, the Borrower or all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Loan Parties from their respective Guarantees under the applicable Security Document (unless, in each case, any assets or
Equity Interests are sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Cash Flow Credit Agreement) without the prior written consent of each Lender; or 

(viii) effect any waiver, amendment or modification that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments
or collateral of Lenders participating in any Facility differently from those of Lenders participating in another Facility, without the consent of the Required Lenders participating in the adversely affected Facility (it being agreed that the
Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment or Commitment reduction required by Section 2.11 so long as the application of any prepayment or Commitment reduction still required to be made is not changed); 

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or an
Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification
authorized by this Section 10.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 10.08 shall bind any assignee of such Lender. 
 (c) Without the consent of any Syndication Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger or Lender or Issuing Bank, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent may (in their respective

  
 143

 
sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to
effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or
protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Cash Flow Credit Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the
Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share
ratably in the benefits of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Cash Flow Revolving Facility Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof, and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such
credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming
modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary to integrate any Incremental Cash Flow Revolving Facility Commitments on substantially the same basis as the Cash
Flow Revolving Facility Loans. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right
to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (1) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender, (2) the date on which payment of interest on any
Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any fees is due may not be extended without the prior written consent of such Lender, to the extent such Lender is adversely affected thereby, and (3) this Section 10.08 may not be amended or modified
without the prior written consent of such Lender to the extent such Lender is adversely affected thereby. 
 (g) The
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Cash Flow Credit Agreement to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or
supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender. 
 Section 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein
or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be limited to the Maximum
Rate; provided that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender or such Issuing Bank on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation. 

  
 144

 Section 10.10 Entire Agreement. This Cash Flow Credit Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates
with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and
remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or
liabilities under or by reason of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 10.11 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CASH
FLOW CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS CASH FLOW CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11. 
 Section 10.12 Severability. In the event any one or more
of the provisions contained in this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and
therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 
 Section 10.13 Counterparts. This Cash Flow
Credit Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03. Delivery
of an executed counterpart to this Cash Flow Credit Agreement by facsimile transmission (or other electronic transmission (e.g., a “pdf” or “tif”) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent) shall be as effective
as delivery of a manually signed original. 
 Section 10.14 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Cash Flow Credit Agreement. 

  
 145

 Section 10.15 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any
appellate court from any thereof (collectively, “New York Courts”), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in
such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in
this Cash Flow Credit Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction, except that
each of the Loan Parties agrees that (i) it will not bring any such action or proceeding in any court other than New York Courts (it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that any other forum would be inconvenient and
inappropriate in view of the fact that more of the Lenders who would be affected by any such action or proceeding have contacts with the State of New York than any other jurisdiction), and (ii) in any such action or proceeding brought
against any Loan Party in any other court, it will not assert any cross-claim, counterclaim or setoff, or seek any other affirmative relief, except to the extent that the failure to assert the same will preclude such Loan Party from asserting or
seeking the same in the New York Courts. 
 (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives,
to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Cash Flow Credit Agreement or the other Loan
Documents in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such
court. 
 Section 10.16 Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and each of the Agents agrees that
it shall maintain in confidence any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower and any Subsidiary furnished to it by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than information that (a) has become generally available to
the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party, (b) has been independently developed by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Agent without violating this Section 10.16, or (c) was available to such Lender, such
Issuing Bank or such Agent from a third party having, to such person’s knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party), and shall not reveal the same other than to its directors, trustees,
officers, employees, numbering, administration and settlement service providers and advisors with a need to know or to any person that approves or administers the Loans on behalf of such Lender (so long as each such person shall have been instructed
to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 10.16, except: (i) to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the requirements of any Governmental Authority, the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, (ii) as part of normal reporting 

  
 146

 
or review procedures to, or examinations by, Governmental Authorities or self-regulatory authorities, including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., (iii) to its parent companies, Affiliates or auditors (so long as each such person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 10.16), (iv) in order to enforce its
rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding, (v) to any pledgee under Section 10.04(e) or any other prospective assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Cash Flow Credit Agreement (so long as such
person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 10.16), and (vi) to any 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 10.16). 
 Section 10.17 Platform; Borrower Materials. 
 (a) The Borrower hereby
acknowledges that (i) the Administrative Agent and/or the Joint-Lead Arrangers will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively,
“Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”), and (ii) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e.,
Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify
that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (iii) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word
“PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (iv) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United
States Federal and state securities laws, (v) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”, and (vi) the
Administrative Agent and the Joint-Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public
Investor.” 
 (b) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS
RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS 

  
 147

 
RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE
LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 

Section 10.18 Release of Liens and Guarantees. In the event that any Loan Party conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or
otherwise disposes of all or any portion of any of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Loan Party or any assets to a person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction not prohibited by Section 6.05, any Liens
created by any Loan Document in respect of such Equity Interests or assets shall be automatically released and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent to) take
such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Holdings or the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense to release any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Equity Interests or assets, and, in the
case of a disposition of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Loan Party in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05, and as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party would cease to be a Subsidiary Loan Party, such Subsidiary Loan
Party’s obligations under its Guarantee shall be automatically terminated and the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent to) take
such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Holdings or the Borrower to terminate such Subsidiary Loan Party’s obligations under its Guarantee. In addition, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent
agrees to take such actions as are reasonably requested by Holdings or the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense to terminate the Liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents when all the Obligations (other than in respect of
contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made) are paid in full and all Letters of Credit are cash collateralized or terminated and Commitments are terminated. 

Section 10.19 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum
due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other
currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall,
notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Cash Flow Credit Agreement (the “Agreement
Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking
procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so 

  
 148

 
purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such
currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). 
 Section 10.20 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies
the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information
that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. 
 Section 10.21 No Liability of the Issuing Banks. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of
such Letter of Credit. Neither any Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in
connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by
such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances
whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not
consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction
in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it
of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.
