the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower and Lenders acknowledge and agree that any conversion or continuation of an existing Loan shall be deemed to be a continuation of that Loan with a converted interest rate methodology and not a new Loan.

notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the

Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower
in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in
accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are Swing

provided above. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the
last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders may require that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans. 
 (d) The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the

uncompleted Drafts held by it or its agents for the Borrower. The signature of any officer of the Borrower on a Draft may be mechanically reproduced and any BA Instrument bearing a facsimile signature shall be binding upon the Borrower as if it had
been manually signed. Even if the individuals whose manual or facsimile signature appears on any BA Instrument no longer hold office at the date of its acceptance by the Revolving Credit Lender or at any time after such date, any BA Instrument so
signed shall be valid and binding upon the Borrower. No Revolving Credit Lender shall be liable for its failure to accept a Draft as required hereby if the cause of such failure is, in whole or in part, due to the failure of the Borrower to provide
Drafts to such Revolving Credit Lender on a timely basis. 
 (ii) The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints each Revolving Credit
Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, manually or by facsimile or mechanical signature, any BA Instrument necessary to enable each Revolving Credit Lender to make Drawings in the manner specified in this Section 2.03.
All BA Instruments signed or endorsed on the Borrower’s behalf by a Revolving Credit Lender shall be binding on the Borrower, all as if duly signed or endorsed by the Borrower. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall (i) maintain a record with
respect to any BA Instrument completed in accordance with this clause (ii), voided by it for any reason, accepted and purchased or purchased or, in the case of a BA Equivalent Note, exchanged for another BA Instrument by it pursuant to this
paragraph (d), and cancelled at its respective maturity; and (ii) retain such records in the manner and for the statutory periods provided by laws which apply to such Revolving Credit Lender and make such records available to the Borrower
acting reasonably. On request by the Borrower, a Revolving Credit Lender shall cancel and return to the possession of the Borrower all BA Instruments which have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on behalf of the Borrower and which are held by such
Revolving Credit Lender and are not required to make Drawings in accordance with this Section 2.03. 
 (e)
Payment, Conversion or Renewal of BA Instruments. (i) Upon the maturity of a BA Instrument, the Borrower may (A) elect to issue a replacement Banker’s Acceptance or Draft by giving a Drawing Notice in accordance with paragraph
(c) of this Section 2.03; (B) elect to have all or a portion of the Face Amount of the BA Instrument converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan (provided that in the case of a conversion of a portion only of the Face Amount
of the BA Instrument, the remaining Face Amount, if any, of such BA Instrument shall not be less than the minimum Face Amount set forth in paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.03) by giving a Committed Loan Notice in accordance with
Section 2.02; or (C) pay, on or before 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on the maturity date for the BA Instrument, an amount in Canadian Dollars equal to the Face Amount of the BA Instrument (notwithstanding that a Revolving Credit Lender
may be the holder of it at 
  

 -59- 

 
maturity). Any such payment shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations under the BA Instrument to which it relates and the relevant Revolving Credit Lender shall (y) then be solely
responsible for the payment of the BA Instrument, and (z) thereafter indemnify the Borrower from any loss, cost or expense suffered by or imposed upon the Borrower in respect of any claim from a holder of such BA Instrument that the Borrower is
liable for payment thereunder or any payment by the Borrower in connection with such claim. 
 (ii) If the Borrower fails to pay
any BA Instrument when due or request a replacement in the Face Amount of such BA Instrument pursuant to paragraph (e)(i) of this Section 2.03, the unpaid amount due and payable shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan and
shall bear interest calculated and payable as provided in Section 2.09. This conversion shall occur as of the maturity date of the BA Instrument and without any necessity for the Borrower to give a Committed Loan Notice. 

(iii) No BA Instrument may be repaid or prepaid prior to the maturity date of such BA Instrument. The Borrower may, however, at its
option, exercisable upon not less than two Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, elect to deposit with the Administrative Agent Canadian Dollars in same-day funds to be held by the Administrative Agent, pursuant to collateral
arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, for application to the payment of any borrowing by way of BA Instrument designated by the Borrower in such notice. If such a deposit is made, then such BA Instrument shall be deemed no longer
outstanding for purposes of this Agreement; provided that the amount of such deposit shall be not less than the full Face Amount of such BA Instrument. Furthermore, in the event the maturity of the Loans is accelerated pursuant to
Article VIII, the Borrower shall cash collateralize all outstanding BA Instruments in same-day funds to be held by the Administrative Agent, pursuant to customary collateral arrangements or arrangements otherwise reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent. 
 (f) Circumstances Making Banker’s Acceptances Unavailable. (i) If, by reason of
circumstances affecting the money market generally, as determined by the Administrative Agent, there is no market for Banker’s Acceptances and Drafts, (i) the right of the Borrower to request a Drawing shall be suspended until the
circumstances causing a suspension no longer exist; and (ii) any Drawing Notice which is outstanding shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice requesting a Canadian Prime Rate Loan unless it has been revoked by the Borrower before the
specified Drawing Date. 
 (ii) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the suspension of the
Borrower’s right to request a Drawing and of the termination of any such suspension. 
 (g) The Borrower shall pay each
Revolving Credit Lender the Drawing Fee in respect of Bankers’ Acceptances or Drafts purchased by such Revolving Credit Lender on each Drawing Date. The Drawing Fee shall be paid by deducting such fee in calculating the amount of the Drawing
Price of the Banker’s Acceptances or Drafts in respect of which such fee is payable. 
 Section 2.04 Letters of
Credit. 
 (a) The Letter of Credit Commitments. 

 

 -60- 

 (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (1) each L/C Issuer agrees,
in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, (x) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to
issue Letters of Credit in Dollars or Canadian Dollars for the account of the Borrower (provided that any Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary of the Borrower) and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by
it, in accordance with Section 2.04(b), and (y) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit and (2) the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this
Section 2.04; provided that no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit if after giving effect to
such L/C Credit Extension, (x) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, or (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within
the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to
replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that each of the letters of credit described in Schedule 2.04(a) (the “Existing Letters of Credit”),
which were issued under the Existing Credit Agreement and remain outstanding on the Closing Date, shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed issued under this Agreement on the Closing Date.

 (ii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or
restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or
direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement
(for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date (for which such L/C Issuer
is not otherwise compensated hereunder); 
 (B) subject to Section 2.04(b)(iii), the expiry date of
such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; 

(C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all
the Revolving Credit Lenders have approved such expiry date; 
 (D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would
violate any Laws binding upon such L/C Issuer; or 
 (E) the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency
other than Dollars or Canadian Dollars. 
  

 -61- 

 (iii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if
(A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of
Credit. 
 (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto Renewal Letters of Credit. 

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the relevant L/C Issuer and
the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such later date and time as the relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a
particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer: (a) the
proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the amount and currency thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (e) the documents to
be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (g) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may
reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to
be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request. 

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by
telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the relevant
L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue
a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, acquire from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of
Credit. 
 (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer shall agree
to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such
renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such
twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C

  

 -62- 

 
Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to
permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the relevant L/C Issuer has
determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.04(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice
(which may be by telephone, followed promptly in writing, or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender, as applicable, or the
Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied. 
 (iv)
Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the relevant L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
 (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of
Participations. 
 (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such
Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. On the Business Day on which the Borrower shall have received notice of any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (or, if
the Borrower shall have received such notice later than 12:00 noon on any Business Day, on the immediately following Business Day) (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the
Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the
unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (as applicable) to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount
of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (as applicable), but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Appropriate Lenders, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
(other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided
that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
 (ii)
Each Revolving Credit Lender (including any such Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer at the
Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Letter of Credit not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the
Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan (as applicable) to
the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant L/C Issuer. 
  

 -63- 

 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Letter of Credit that is not
fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (as applicable) because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed
to have incurred from the relevant L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such
L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.04. 

(iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) to
reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer. 

(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts
drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.04(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Lender may have against the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans (but not L/C Advances) pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for the amount of any
payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Revolving
Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified
in Section 2.04(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the
date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate or CDOR Rate, as applicable. A certificate of the relevant L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.04(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(vii) If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender
such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with this Section 2.04(c), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest
thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to each Revolving Credit Lender its Pro Rata Share
thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 

 

 -64- 

 (viii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer
pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving
Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate or CDOR Rate, as applicable. 
 (d) Obligations
Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 
 (i) any lack
of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan Party may have at any time
against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of
Credit; 
 (iv) any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a
draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

 (v) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or
consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or 

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party; 
  

 -65- 

 provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the
extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. 

(e) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C
Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the
authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any
action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or
(iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary
or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or
transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described
in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.04(e); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be
liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C
Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer 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, and no L/C
Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may
prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
 (f) Cash Collateral. (i) If any Event of Default occurs and is
continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, require the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 8.02(c) or (ii) an Event of Default set forth under
Section 8.01(f) or (g) occurs and is continuing, then the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such Event of
Default), and shall do so not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i), (1) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice thereof, if such notice is received on
such day prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time), or (2) if clause (1) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice and (y) in the case of the immediately preceding
clause (ii), the Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) or (g) occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately succeeding such day, in either case, by 1:00
p.m. on such day. For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge 
  

 -66- 

 
and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant L/C Issuer and the Revolving Credit Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit
account balances (“Cash Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Revolving Credit
Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and
all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked accounts at DB Canada and may be invested in readily available Cash Equivalents at its sole discretion. If at any time the Administrative Agent
determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the deposit accounts at DB Canada as aforesaid, an amount equal to
the excess of (a) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the
drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral
exceeds the then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations plus costs incidental thereto and so long as no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. If such Event of Default is cured or
waived and no other Event of Default is then occurring and continuing, the amount of any Cash Collateral and accrued interest thereon shall be refunded to the Borrower. 

(g) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in
accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Rate for Letter of Credit fees (as applicable) minus the applicable
Fronting Fee described in Section 2.04(h) below and (ii) the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of
credit fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during
such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. 
 (h) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to
L/C Issuers. The Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee (a “Fronting Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily maximum amount
then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fronting fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account
the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are
due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable. 
  

 -67- 

 (i) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary in any Letter of Credit Application, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control. 

(j) Addition of an L/C Issuer. A Revolving Credit Lender (or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates) may become an additional L/C
Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Revolving Credit Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any such additional L/C Issuer. 

Section 2.05 Swing Line Loans. 

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans (each such
loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day (other than the Closing Date) until the Business Day prior to the Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount
not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C
Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, that, Swing Line Loans shall be available by way of incurring overdrafts in the Borrower’s Canadian
Dollar and Dollar accounts with the Swing Line Lender, with overdrafts in Canadian Dollars being deemed to be Prime Rate Loans and overdrafts in Dollars being deemed to be Base Rate Loans; provided further that after giving effect to
any Swing Line Loan, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect; provided further that, the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance
any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.05, prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this
Section 2.05. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan or a Canadian Prime Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. 

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing (other than overdraft Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.05(a))
shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00
p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 or C$100,000 (and any amount in excess thereof shall be an integral multiple of $25,000 or C$25,000), and (ii) the
requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed
by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative 

 

 -68- 

 
Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by
telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of
the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.05(a), or (B) that one or
more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line
Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower. 
 (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

 (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which
hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan (as applicable) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (as applicable), but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each
Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line
Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.05(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds
available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan (as applicable) to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender. 

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with
Section 2.05(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (as applicable) submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving
Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) shall be
deemed payment in respect of such participation. 
 (iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(c) by the time specified in Section 2.05(c)(i), the Swing
Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately
available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate or CDOR Rate, as applicable. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing
under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  

 -69- 

 (iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to
purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans (but not to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans) pursuant to this
Section 2.05(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest
as provided herein. 
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 

(i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line
Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of
time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender. 

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be
returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the
Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The
Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. 
 (e) Interest for Account of Swing
Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan (as applicable) or risk
participation pursuant to this Section 2.05 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line
Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in
respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

 Section 2.06 Prepayments and Offers to Prepay. 

(a) Optional Prepayments. 

The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans and Revolving
Credit Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) (A) two (2) Business Days prior to any
date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (including Canadian Prime Rate Loans that are outstanding after the conversion of the Face Amount of BA Instruments
thereto pursuant to Section 2.03(e)(i)(B) or Section 2.03(e)(ii)); (2) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and
(3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or C$1,000,000 (as applicable) or a whole multiple of $100,000 or C$100,000 (as applicable) in excess thereof or, in each case, if
less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate
Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in
such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall be applied as directed by the Borrower and shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 

(i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time,
voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the
prepayment, and (2) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or C$100,000 (as applicable) or a whole multiple of $100,000 or C$100,000 (as applicable) in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount
thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.06(a)(i) or 2.06(a)(ii) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or
shall otherwise be delayed. 
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments and Offers to Prepay. 

(i) Within five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the
related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a), the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to (A) 50% (such percentage as it may be reduced as described below,
the “ECF Percentage”) of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements (commencing 

 

 -71- 

 
with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 minus (B) the sum of (i) all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans during such fiscal year and (ii) all voluntary prepayments of
Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans during such fiscal year to the extent the Revolving Credit Commitments are permanently reduced by the amount of such payments, in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and
(ii), to the extent such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness; provided that (x) the ECF Percentage shall be 25% if the Total Leverage Ratio for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than
or equal to 5.50:1.00 and greater than 4.50:1.00 and (y) the ECF Percentage shall be 0% if the Total Leverage Ratio for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than or equal to 4.50:1.00. 

(ii) (A) Subject to Section 2.06(b)(ii)(B), if (x) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any property or
assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(a), (b), (c), (d) (to the extent constituting a Disposition to a Loan Party), (e), (g), (h),
(m), (o) or (q)) or (y) any Casualty Event occurs, which in the aggregate results in the realization or receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall make an Offer to
Prepay, in accordance with Section 2.06(b)(ii)(C), an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% (such percentage, the “Asset Percentage”) of all such Net Cash Proceeds realized or received; provided
that no such Offer to Prepay shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(ii)(A) with respect to such portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that the Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the
Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest in accordance with Section 2.06(b)(ii)(B) (which notice may only be provided if no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing). 

(B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition (other than any Disposition specifically
excluded from the application of Section 2.06(b)(ii)(A)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for its business within
(x) fifteen (15) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Borrower enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within fifteen (15) months following receipt thereof, within
the later of (1) fifteen (15) months following receipt thereof or (2) one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date of such legally binding commitment; provided that (i) so long as an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be permitted to make any such reinvestments (other than pursuant to a legally binding commitment that the Borrower entered into at a time when no Event of Default is continuing) and (ii) if any
Net Cash Proceeds are not so reinvested by the deadline specified in clause (x) or (y) above, as applicable, or if any such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of
reinvestment election, an amount equal to the Asset Percentage of any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied, in accordance with Section 2.06(b)(ii)(C), to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.06.

 (C) On each occasion that the Borrower must make an Offer to Prepay the Term Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.06(b)(ii), the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after the date of realization or receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, in the case of prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(ii)(B), within five
(5) Business Days of the deadline specified in clause (x) or (y) thereof, as applicable, or of the date the Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested, as the
case may be), make an offer to prepay, in accordance with Section 2.06(b)(vi) below, the principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to the Asset Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds realized or received (the “Offer to
Prepay”). The Administrative Agent shall give each Term Lender a copy of the Offer 
  

 -72- 

 
to Prepay on the next Business Day following receipt of same. Each Term Lender shall have the right to accept or decline the Offer to Prepay by providing written notice to the Administrative
Agent prior to the thirtieth day following receipt of same (the “Offer Response Date”). The failure of a Term Lender to notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance prior to the Offer Response Date shall be deemed to be a
rejection of the Offer to Prepay. The Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event within three Business Days of the Offer Response Date, notify the Borrower of which Term Lenders have accepted the Offer to Prepay prior to the Offer
Response Date, and such Term Lenders shall be entitled to the prepayment within three (3) Business Days of the Borrower’s receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent. 

(iii) If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued
pursuant to Section 7.03, the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the
receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds. 
 (iv) Within five (5) Business Days following the consummation of any Calgary
Permanent Financing or any sale (including any Sale Leaseback) of the Calgary Property, the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to $10,000,000. 

(v) If for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a fluctuation of currency exchange rates) the aggregate Revolving Credit
Exposures at any time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall promptly prepay or cause to be promptly prepaid Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans and/or Cash
Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds such Revolving Credit Commitments at such time; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash
Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(v) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans such aggregate Outstanding Amount exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments then in effect. 
 (vi) (X) Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be
applied as directed by the Borrower (it being understood and agreed that if the Borrower does not so direct at the time of such prepayment such prepayment shall be applied against the scheduled repayments of Term Loans under
Section 2.08(a) in direct order of maturity); and (Y) each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares subject to clause (vii) of this
Section 2.06(b). 
 (vii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment
of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 2.06(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such
prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Appropriate
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Each Appropriate Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of
Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 2.06(b) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later

  

 -73- 

 
than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice
from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory prepayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such
Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory repayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the
Borrower (“Retained Declined Proceeds”). 
 (viii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Section 2.06(b), (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to an Offer to Prepay pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(ii) (a “Foreign
Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Casualty Event”), or Excess Cash Flow are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to Canada, the
portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.06(b)(i), or the Borrower shall not be required to make an Offer to Prepay at the
time provided in Section 2.06(b)(ii), as the case may be. Instead, such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to Canada (the
Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or
Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such
repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the
Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition, any Foreign Casualty Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax cost consequence (taking into account any
foreign tax credit or benefit received in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary,
provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any Net Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to this
Section 2.06(b) (or such Excess Cash Flow would have been so required if it were Net Cash Proceeds), (x) the Borrower applies an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow to such reinvestments or prepayments as if
such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been received by the Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had
been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary) or (y) such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow are applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a
Foreign Subsidiary. 
 (ix) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during the period commencing on the Closing
Date and ending on the date that is five years and one day after the Closing Date (the “Withholding Tax Period”), regularly scheduled amortization payments and mandatory prepayments otherwise required to be applied to outstanding
Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i), Section 2.06(b)(iii), Section 2.06(b)(iv), Section 2.06(b)(viii) and Section 2.08(a) shall not be required to be applied to any of such loans
if, after giving effect to such application, the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so repaid exceeds 25% of the aggregate principal amount 

 

 -74- 

 
of the Term Loans made on the Closing Date (the “Excess Prepayment Amount”); provided that on the Business Day immediately following the end of the Withholding Tax Period,
the Borrower shall prepay a principal amount of the Term Loans that is equal to the Excess Prepayment Amount. The mandatory prepayments with respect to any Incremental Term Loans or any Additional Incremental Term Loans shall also be subject to the
limitations set forth in this paragraph, provided that, for purposes of calculating the amount of amortization and mandatory prepayments for purposes of complying with such limitations, each Incremental Term Loan or Additional Incremental
Term Loan shall be treated as a separate loan (and shall not be aggregated with the Term Loans or any other loans), and the Withholding Tax Period will commence upon the borrowing of such Incremental Term Loans. The above-described mandatory
prepayments shall be applied to the Term Loans as directed by the Borrower. 
 (c) Interest, Funding Losses, Etc. All
prepayments under this Section 2.06 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any
amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05. 
 Notwithstanding any of the
other provisions of this Section 2.06, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.06, prior to the last day
of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.06 in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole
discretion, deposit with the Administrative Agent the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made hereunder until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further
action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.06. Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the Eurocurrency Rate Loans
to be so prepaid, provided that the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 2.06. 

Section 2.07 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Commitments of any Class, or
from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction,
(ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the
Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The amount of any such Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Letter of Credit Sublimit or
the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all of
the Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed. 
 (b) Mandatory. The Term
Commitment of each Term Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Term Lender’s Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(a). The Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the applicable
Maturity Date. 
  

 -75- 

 (c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent
will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or the Swing Line Sublimit or the unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 2.07. Upon any reduction of unused
Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender
as provided in Section 3.07). All Commitment Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 

Section 2.08 Repayment of Loans. 

(a) Term Loans. The Borrower shall, subject to Section 2.06(b)(ix), repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable
account of the Term Lenders (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last Business Day of December 2007, an aggregate principal amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal
amount of all Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.06) and (ii) on the Maturity Date for the Term Loans, the aggregate
principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date. 
 (b) Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall repay to
the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate Lenders on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility the aggregate principal amount of all of its Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date. 

(c) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay its Swing Line Loans on the earlier to occur of (i) the date five
(5) Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility. 
 (d) For the
avoidance of doubt, all Loans shall be repaid, whether pursuant to this Section 2.08 or otherwise, in the currency in which they were made. 

Section 2.09 Interest. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(b), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof
from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; (iii) each Canadian Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a
rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (iv) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Bate Rate
or Canadian Prime Rate plus the relevant Applicable Rate for Revolving Credit Loans (as applicable). 
  

 -76- 

 (b) The Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder at a fluctuating interest
rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 

(c) Interest on each Loan (other than BA Instruments) shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable
thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief
Law. 
 (d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in the currency in which each Loan was made. 

Section 2.10 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.04(g) and (h): 

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each (i) Revolving
Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Rate with respect to Commitment Fees times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving
Credit Commitment exceeds the sum of (A) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations; provided that any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to any of the Revolving Commitments
of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such
Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no Commitment Fee shall accrue on any of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such
Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The Commitment Fees shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in
Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity
Date for the Revolving Credit Facility. The Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable
Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. 
 (b) Other
Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason
whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Agent). 
 Section 2.11 Computation of
Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate and Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days or three
hundred and sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall
accrue on each Loan (other than BA Instruments) for the day on which such 
  

 -77- 

 
Loan is made, and shall not accrue on such Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any such Loan that is repaid on the same day
on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.13(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error. 
 For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest, discount or fee under this Agreement is
calculated using a rate based on a number of days less than a full year, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, as
the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by the number of days based on which such rate is
calculated. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement. The rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

 Section 2.12 Evidence of Indebtedness. 

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and
evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The
accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments
thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the
accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request
of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans (other than BA Instruments) in
addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.12(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall
maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans.
In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. 
 (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to
Sections 2.12(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable
or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other 

 

 -78- 

 
Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or
such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

Section 2.13 Payments Generally. 

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or
setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative
Agent’s Office in the applicable currency and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata
Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed
received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 
 (b) If any payment
to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided
that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 

(c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it
to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may
(but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds,
then: 
 (i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the
Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the
Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate or CDOR Rate, as applicable; and 

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the
amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent
(the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate or CDOR Rate, as applicable. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment
amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of 
  

 -79- 

 
such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand
therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of
interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender
as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with
respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.13(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (d) If any
Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent
because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such
Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 
 (e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund
participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation. 

(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to
constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 

(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to
pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.04. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under
circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of
the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender. 
 Section 2.14 Sharing of Payments. If, other
than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of
any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent 

 

 -80- 

 
of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans
held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that
if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its
discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total
amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the
right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which
shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.14 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a
participation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations
purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. 

Section 2.15 Incremental Credit Extensions. 

(a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the
Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more additional tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) be made available to an Incremental Borrower, provided that both at the
time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto) no Default
or Event of Default shall exist. Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining
availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans (together with the aggregate amount of any Incremental Second Lien Term
Loans) shall not exceed the sum of $75,000,000 and the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans hereunder and of Second Lien Term Loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement (such sum, the “Incremental
Availability”); provided, that any Incremental Borrower may incur additional Incremental Term Loans hereunder (the “Additional Incremental Term Loans”), so long as, on a Pro Forma Basis after giving
effect to the incurrence of such Additional Incremental Term Loan either (i) the First-Lien Senior Secured Incurrence Test would be satisfied or (ii) the First-Lien Senior Secured Leverage Ratio would be no greater than the First-Lien
Senior Secured Leverage Ratio in effect immediately prior to such incurrence (it being understood that, subject to the satisfaction of such tests, Additional Incremental Term Loans may be effected by the Borrower and/or Incremental Borrower whether
or not there is any unused Incremental Availability). The Incremental Term Loans (a) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Term Loans, (b) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date

  

 -81- 

 
with respect to the Term Loans and (c) shall be treated substantially the same as the Term Loans (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments),
provided that (i) the terms and conditions applicable to Incremental Term Loans and Additional Incremental Term Loans may be materially different from those of the Term Loans to the extent such differences are reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent, (ii) the interest rates and amortization schedule applicable to the Incremental Term Loans and Additional Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereof and (iii) Incremental
Term Loans and Additional Incremental Term Loans may be made available in any Incremental Currency; provided, further, that, as of the date of the incurrence of the Incremental Term Loans or Additional Incremental Term Loans, as the
case may be, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Incremental Term Loans or Additional Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, shall not be shorter than that of the Term Loans. Each notice from the Borrower and/or Other Incremental Borrower
pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Additional Incremental Term Loans, as applicable. Incremental Term Loans and Additional Incremental Term Loans may be
made by any existing Lender (and each existing Term Lender will have the right, but not an obligation, to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan or Additional Incremental Term Loan on terms permitted in this Section 2.15 and
otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”). Commitments in
respect of Incremental Term Loans and Additional Incremental Term Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan
Documents, executed by Holdings, the Borrower, the Incremental Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any
other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this
Section (including, without limitation, such amendments to take into account the accession of an Incremental Borrower to this Agreement and an Incremental Currency other than the Dollars or Canadian Dollars) including, without limitation, the
amendments described in Section 2.15(b). If any Incremental Term Loans or Additional Incremental Term Loans are incurred by an Other Incremental Borrower other than the Borrower, the Borrower shall guaranty such Loans pursuant to a
guaranty consistent with the form of Guaranty provided on the Closing Date. The effectiveness of (and, in the case of any Incremental Amendment for an Incremental Term Loan or an Additional Incremental Term Loan, the borrowing under) any Incremental
Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to “the
date of such Credit Extension” or similar language in such Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower and/or
Incremental Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Additional Incremental Term Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Additional
Incremental Term Loans unless it so agrees. 
 (b) If an Incremental Borrower is a direct or indirect holding company of the
Borrower, the Incremental Amendment shall provide, among other things, that: 
 (i) all financial covenants,
incurrence tests and other provisions calculated prior to such Incremental Amendment by reference to the financial performance or circumstance of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including without limitation Capital

  

 -82- 

 
Expenditure, Capitalized Software Expenditures, Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Expense, Consolidated Lease Expense, Consolidated Senior Secured Debt, Consolidated Total Debt,
Consolidated Working Capital, Cumulative Excess Cash Flow and Excess Cash Flow) shall be, immediately following such Incremental Amendment, calculated by reference to the financial performance or circumstance of such Incremental Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries provided that it is understood and agreed that (A) the applicable maximum or minimum financial ratios or amounts shall not be amended and (B) such covenants, incurrence tests and other calculations shall be
determined without giving effect to the Holdings Loans or any other Indebtedness of Holdings not guaranteed by any other Loan Party; 

(ii) solely in connection with consummation of an acquisition previously identified to the Administrative Agent and the
financing thereof, (A) for purposes of Sections 7.02(j)(ii), 7.03(u)(ii) and 7.03(v)(ii) the incurrence tests set forth therein shall be calculated as if the Holding Loans were Second Lien Loans of the
Borrower at such time, (B) the ratio set forth in the definition of Senior Secured Incurrence Test shall be deemed to be 7.25:1.00 and (C) the ratio set forth in Section 7.03(u)(ii) shall be deemed to be 7.25:1.00; 

(iii) save as provided in this Section 2.15(b) or as the context otherwise requires (A) references to the
Borrower in this Agreement immediately prior to such Incremental Amendment shall include, from and after the effectiveness of such Incremental Amendment, such Incremental Borrower, and (B) if such Incremental Borrower is a holding company of
Holdings, references to Holdings in this Agreement immediately prior to such Incremental Amendment shall mean, from and after the effectiveness of such Incremental Amendment, such Incremental Borrower or the holding company of such Incremental
Borrower; 
 (iv) Holdings, the Borrower, such Incremental Borrower (and any other Intermediate Holding Company)
and the other Loan Parties shall enter into such Loan Documents and take such action to ensure, among other things, that the requirements set forth in the definition of “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement” are and continue to be
satisfied immediately following such Incremental Amendment, including without limitation (A) guaranteeing the Obligations and (B) securing the Obligations and Guarantees by a first-priority security interest in the Equity Interests of the
Borrower, such Incremental Borrower (and establishing a holding company of such Incremental Borrower if required for this purpose) and each Intermediate Holding Company; 

(v) except as set forth in clause (b)(i) above, all representations and warranties, covenants and Events of
Default contained in this Agreement applicable to the Borrower (immediately prior to such Incremental Amendment) and its Subsidiaries or Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis shall be modified to apply to such Incremental Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, on a consolidated basis unless otherwise mutually determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and 

(vi) references in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Holdings, the Borrower and an Intermediate Holding
Company shall be modified to be references to such Incremental Borrower to the extent appropriate as mutually determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. 

 

 -83- 

 (c) This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14
or 10.01 to the contrary. 
 ARTICLE III 

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality 

Section 3.01 Taxes. 

(a) Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments by the Borrower (the term Borrower under
Article III being deemed to include any Subsidiary for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued) or any Guarantor to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding the
Excluded Taxes (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower or any Guarantor shall
be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (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 3.01), each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or
Guarantor shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower or Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after
the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as possible thereafter), the Borrower shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a facsimile copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the
appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to any Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify such Agent and such Lender for any Taxes that may become payable by such Agent or
such Lender arising out of such failure. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp,
court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or
registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document excluding, in each case, such amounts that result from an Assignment and Assumption, grant of a Participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new Applicable Lending
Office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document, except to the extent that any such change is requested in writing by the Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(b) being hereinafter
referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for
(i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable and paid under this Section 3.01) payable by such Agent and such Lender and (ii) any
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the 

 

 -84- 

 
relevant Governmental Authority. Such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, will, at the Borrower’s request, (A) provide the Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts or (B) have the amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes verified by an independent account. Payment under this Section 3.01(c) shall be made within ten (10) days after the
date such Lender or such Agent makes a demand therefor. 
 (d) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion,
that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund (but only to
the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund plus any interest included in such refund by the relevant
taxing authority attributable thereto) to the Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such
refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority.
Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority
(provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential). Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner
it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to do anything
that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled. 

(e) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or
(c) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit
affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Applicable Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further
that nothing in this Section 3.01(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (c). 

(f) Each Lender as at the date hereof, other than Lloyds TSB Bank plc in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender, represents and
warrants that it is a Qualifying Canadian Lender in respect of all payments made by the Borrower to such Lender (other than as a Term Lender hereunder); any Lender, other than Lloyds TSB Bank plc in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender, who is
not, or who for any reason ceases to be, a Qualifying Canadian Lender in respect of all payments to be made by the Borrower to such Lender (other than as a Term Lender) hereunder, shall forthwith use reasonable efforts to notify the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower in writing of such status in a form satisfactory to the Borrower acting reasonably (except upon the occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Default). Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to deliver from time to
time upon the written request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation or certification as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether, and to what extent, payments to be made
by the Borrower hereunder are subject to any withholding or deduction; provided, that, nothing in this Section 3.01(e) shall require a 

 

 -85- 

 
Lender to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns or its calculations). Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Borrower shall have no
obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01 to any Revolving Credit Lender that is not a Qualifying Canadian Lender or in respect of any time after which any such Revolving Credit Lender that is a Qualifying
Canadian Lender has ceased to maintain its status as a Qualifying Canadian Lender, except (i) in the event that the Revolving Credit Lender has ceased to maintain its status as a Qualifying Canadian Lender due to a Change of Law, (ii) upon
the occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Default or (iii) additional amounts payable to Lloyds TSB Bank plc with respect to Lloyds Non-Excluded Taxes. 

(g) Any Lender (other than a Lender in its capacity as a Term Lender) that is a Qualifying Canadian Lender under (a)(ii) of the
definition of “Qualifying Canadian Lender” in Section 1.01 (i) (A) shall designate, for the purpose and throughout the term of this Agreement, an office of such Lender in Canada as its Applicable Lending Office;
(B) represents and warrants that, as of the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, it is an Authorized Foreign Bank; (C) covenants and agrees that at all material times, other than by reason of a change in treaty, law, rule or
regulation occurring after the date of this Agreement (1) such Lender will continue to be an Authorized Foreign Bank, (2) each amount owing to such Lender will be a Canadian Banking Business Asset, and (3) such Lender will record such
Canadian Banking Business Asset and any income thereon in all financial statements for its Canadian Banking Business that are filed (or required to be filed) with the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada, and will include in
its income for a taxation year from the Canadian Banking Business any income in respect of that Canadian Banking Business Asset; and (ii) shall, upon request, provide the Borrower and Administrative Agent with such documentation as may be
reasonably necessary to establish the Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from Canadian withholding tax on payments hereunder (but only so long as such Lender is or remains lawfully entitled to do so). Each Lender that is an Authorized Foreign
Bank at the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or makes an applicable Loan shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing upon becoming aware that it is not in compliance with this Section 3.01(g). 

Section 3.02 Illegality. 

(a) If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority that is a court, statutory board or
commission has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate or to maintain or fund Loans by
way of Banker’s Acceptance as contemplated by this Agreement, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) in respect of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (A) any obligation of such Lender to
make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no
longer exist, (B) upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans that have become unlawful or, if applicable, convert all
Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not
lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (C) upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such

 -86- 

 
and (ii) in respect of Bankers Acceptances, (A) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Loans by way of a Bankers Acceptances shall forthwith be cancelled and (B) the full
face amount of such Lender’s Bankers Acceptances shall be repaid in full on the last day of the then current maturity dates with respect to such Bankers Acceptances (or within such earlier period as shall be required by law) or if not so
repaid, then the full face amount thereof shall be converted to Canadian Prime Rate Loans. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for any such notice and will not, in the good
faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 (b) If any provision of this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Borrower to make any payment of interest with respect to any of the Revolving Credit Exposure or other amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender in an amount or
calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any Law or would result in a receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Revolving Credit Lender of interest with respect to its Revolving Credit Exposure at a criminal rate (as such terms are
construed under any applicable law, including the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rates shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case
may be, as would not be so prohibited by any applicable law or so result in a receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Revolving Credit Lender of interest with respect to its Revolving Credit Exposure at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be
effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: 
 (i) first, by reducing the amount or rates of interest
required to be paid to the Administrative Agent or the affected Revolving Credit Lender under Section 2.09 and the amount or rate of discounts required to be applied to BA Instruments under Section 2.03; and 

(ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees (including any Drawing Fee), commissions, premiums and other amounts required
to be paid to the Administrative Agent or the affected Revolving Credit Lender which would constitute interest with respect to the Revolving Credit Exposure for purposes of any applicable law, including Section 347 of the Criminal Code
(Canada). 
 Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or that the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the
Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the
Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or,
failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 
  

 -87- 

 Section 3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on
Eurocurrency Rate Loans. 
 (a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any Change in Law or a
change in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the date hereof, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan (other
than a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan or BA Equivalent Note) or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for
purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01, (ii) the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any taxes
imposed on or measured by net income (including branch profits) and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes payable by such Lender, or (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by
Section 3.04(c)), then from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with
Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. 

(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation
thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a
consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in
reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts
as will compensate such Lender for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such demand. 
 (c) The
Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal
amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and
(ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the
funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender
(as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received
at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date,
such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice. 
  

 -88- 

 (d) Subject to Section 3.06(b), failure or delay on the part of any Lender to
demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation. 

(e) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use
commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such
Lender and its Applicable Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.04(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the
Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b), (c) or (d). 

Section 3.05 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the
Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of
the Interest Period for such Loan; or 
 (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of
such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan (other than a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan) on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; 

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to
terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. 
 For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to
the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar
market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 

Section 3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation. 

(a) Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting
forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 

(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04,
the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim;
provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower
under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans from one

  

 -89- 

 
Interest Period to another, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the
provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested. 

(c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loan from one Interest Period to another, or to convert
Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current
Interest Period(s) for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the
circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist: 

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of
principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and 

(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as
Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans. 

(d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in
Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do
promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, on the first day(s) of
the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as
to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments. 

Section 3.07 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. 

(a) If at any time (i) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a
result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, on ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to (and such
Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to
clause (iii) above, all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver or amendment) to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided further that (A) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under 
  

 -90- 

 
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) in the case
of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents. 

(b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, as applicable, and (ii) deliver Notes, if any, evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative
Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line
Loans, as applicable, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment
and assumption and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, the assignor Lender shall deliver to the assignee Lender the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender
hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to
such assigning Lender. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer
may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance,
and issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer, or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect
to each such outstanding Letter of Credit and the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09. 

(d) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver
of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the
Lenders with respect to a certain Class of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting
Lender”. 
 Section 3.08 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III
shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

other Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party thereto. This Agreement and each other Loan Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against each Loan Party

simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in, all real property necessary in the ordinary conduct of its business, free and clear of all Liens except for minor defects in title that do not
materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business or to utilize such assets for their intended purposes and Liens permitted by Section 7.01 and except where the failure to have such title or other interest could not
reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 5.08
Environmental Compliance. 
 (a) There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened claims, actions,
suits, or proceedings by or against the Borrower or any Subsidiary alleging potential liability or responsibility for violation of, or otherwise relating to, any applicable Environmental Law that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably

(other than principal and interest, but including Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III) payable to each Agent in its capacity as such; 

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than
principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second
payable to them; 
 Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid
interest (including, but not limited to, post-petition interest), ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them; 

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal, Unreimbursed Amounts or Face
Amounts of the Loans (including by way of BA Instrument), L/C Borrowings and Swap Termination Value under Secured Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Obligations, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described
in this clause Fourth held by them; 
 Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C
Issuers, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit; 

Sixth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties that are due and payable to the Administrative
Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and 

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as
otherwise required by Law. 
  

 -130- 

 Subject to Section 2.04(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate
undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been
fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and, if no Obligations remain outstanding, to the Borrower. 

Section 8.05 Permitted Holders’ Right to Cure. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01(b), in the event that the Borrower fails to comply
with the requirement of the covenants set forth in Sections 7.10 and 7.11, until the expiration of the tenth day after the date on which financial statements with respect to the Test Period in which such covenant is being measured
are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, any of the Permitted Holders shall have the right to make a direct or indirect equity investment in the Borrower in cash (the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by
the Borrower of net cash proceeds pursuant to the exercise of the Cure Right (including through the capital contribution of any such net cash proceeds to such Person, the “Cure Amount”), the covenants set forth in such
Sections shall be recalculated, giving effect to a pro forma increase to Consolidated EBITDA for such Test Period in an amount equal to such net cash proceeds; provided that such pro forma adjustment to
Consolidated EBITDA shall be given solely for the purpose of determining the existence of a Default or an Event of Default under the covenants set forth in such Sections with respect to any Test Period that includes the fiscal quarter for which
such Cure Right was exercised and not for any other purpose under any Loan Document. 
 (b) If, after the exercise of the Cure
Right and the recalculations pursuant to clause (a) above, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the covenants set forth in Sections 7.10 and 7.11 during such Test Period (including for purposes of
Section 4.02), the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such covenants 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 Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01 that had occurred shall be deemed cured; provided that (i) there shall be no more than four (4) fiscal quarters (and no more than two (2) consecutive fiscal
quarters) in which a Cure Right is exercised and (ii) with respect to any exercise of the Cure Right, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the covenant set forth in
Section 7.10. 
 ARTICLE IX 

Administrative Agent and Other Agents 

Section 9.01 Appointment and Authorization of Agents. 

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under
the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the
Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, 

 

 -131- 

 
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under
agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 

(b) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated
therewith, and each such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agents in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of
Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article IX and in the definition
of “Agent-Related Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer. 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its
capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if applicable), L/C Issuer (if applicable) and a potential Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any
security interest, charge or other Lien created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) 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, as “collateral agent” (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact
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 Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies
thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX (including Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the
“collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 
 Section 9.02
Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the
Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through Affiliates, agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact, such sub-agents as shall be deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled to advice of
counsel, both internal and external, 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 agent or sub-agent or attorney-in-fact
that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 Section 9.03 Liability of Agents. No
Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for
any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by 
  

 -132- 

 
any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by
the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority
of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related
Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant 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 or any Affiliate thereof. 
 Section 9.04 Reliance by Agents.

 (a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication,
signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure
to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. 
 (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by
or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto. 

Section 9.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of
any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a
Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent
shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 

 

 -133- 

 Section 9.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender
acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any
Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender
represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made
its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person 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 investigations
as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly
required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person. 

Section 9.07 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders
shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related
Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related
Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding
giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse
the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification,
amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to
herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations
with respect thereto, if any. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. 

 

 -134- 

 Section 9.08 Agents in their Individual Capacities. DB Canada and its Affiliates
may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and
their respective Affiliates as though DB Canada were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, DB Canada or its Affiliates may receive
information regarding any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be
under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, DB Canada shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include DB Canada in its individual capacity. 

Section 9.09 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty
(30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which appointment of a successor
agent shall require the consent of the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or (g) (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent”, shall
mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of
resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall 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. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such
amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may reasonably request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to
be granted by the Collateral Documents or (b) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion,
privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. 

Section 9.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due
and 
  

 -135- 

 
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 the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other 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 and the
Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.04(g) and (h), 2.10 and 10.04) 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 any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is
hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount
due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 10.04. 

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 any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 Section 9.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably agree: 

(a) that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan
Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y) Cash Management
Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and any other obligation (including a guarantee that is contingent in
nature), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than the Borrower or any of
its Domestic Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries, (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (iv) if the property subject to
such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) or (d) below; 
  

 -136- 

 (b) to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(j); 

(c) that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person
ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder; and 
 (d)
if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall cease to be a Material Subsidiary (as certified in writing by a Responsible Officer), (i) such Subsidiary shall be automatically released from its obligations under any Guaranty and (ii) any Liens granted
by such Subsidiary or Liens on the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary shall be automatically released, 
 provided, in each case, the
corresponding release is also provided for in the Second Lien Loan Documents. 
 Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any
time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty
pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each case as specified in this Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent will promptly (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense,
execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral
Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11. 

Section 9.12 Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or
signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent”, or “arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without
limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other
Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
 Section 9.13
Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents. 
 (a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of
litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction
it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to
appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, 

 

 -137- 

 
administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent”
and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”). 
 (b) In the event that the Administrative Agent
appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or
conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to
exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance
thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of
Sections 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the
Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require. 
 (c) Should any instrument in
writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it 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. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a
new Supplemental Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.14 RC Agent as Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement and save where specifically provided for herein, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) RBC shall act as the Administrative Agent for the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit
Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans under and pursuant Articles II and III (and associated definitions in Article I) and references to “the Administrative Agent” therein shall be construed as references to
“the RC Agent”, and (ii) the provisions of Articles IX and X (and associated definitions in Article I) shall apply to the RC Agent mutatis mutandis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
determination to be made by the Administrative Agent under any provision of this Agreement (other than those specified in the preceding sentence to the extent applicable to the RC Agent as determined by DB Canada) or any other Loan Document shall be
made by DB Canada. 
 ARTICLE X 

Miscellaneous 

Section 10.01 Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the
case 
  

 -138- 

 
may be, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no such amendment, waiver or consent
shall: 
 (a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or
increase of any Commitment of any Lender); 
 (b) postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any
payment of principal or interest under Section 2.08 or 2.09 without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of
the Term Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest; 

(c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to
clause (iii) of the second proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood
that any change to the definition of Total Leverage Ratio or in each case in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary
to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate; 

(d) change any provision of this Section 10.01, the definition of “Required Lenders” or
“Pro Rata Share” or Section 2.06(b)(vi)(Y), 2.07(c), 8.04 or 2.14 without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 

(e) other than in a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05, release all or
substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each Lender; or 

(f) other than in a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05, release all or
substantially all of the Guarantees, without the written consent of each Lender; 
 and provided further that (i) no
amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to any
Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender
under this Agreement; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iv) Section 10.07(h) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being
funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification. 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
the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder
requiring any consent of the Lenders). 
  

 -139- 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with
the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the
accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans, the Revolving Credit Loans, the Incremental Term Loans and Additional Incremental Term Loans, if any,
and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders. 

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the
Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan denominated in Dollars
(“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable
Rate with respect to such Replacement Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Replacement Term Loans) shall not be higher than the Applicable Rate for such Refinanced Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to
such Refinanced Term Loans) immediately prior to such refinancing, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the
time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the Refinanced Term Loans) and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans
shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to
any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing. 
 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01, the Intercreditor Agreement, any guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form
reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any
other Lender if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (iii) to cause such Intercreditor
Agreement, guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

Section 10.02 Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies. 

(a) General. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or electronic mail address, and all notices and other
communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows: 

(i) if to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, to the address, facsimile

 -140- 

 (ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic
mail address or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender. 
 All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or
made upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, four
(4) Business Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail (which form of delivery is subject to the
provisions of Section 10.02(b)), when delivered; provided that notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Article II shall not be effective until
actually received by such Person during the person’s normal business hours. In no event shall a voice mail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder. 

(b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or other
electronic communication. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders.

 (c) Reliance by Agents and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon
any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices, Drawing Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or
were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender
from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. All telephonic notices to the
Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 

(d) Notice to other Loan Parties. The Borrower agrees that notices to be given to any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document may be given to the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.02 with the same effect as if given to such other Loan Party in accordance with the terms hereunder or thereunder. 

 

 -141- 

 Section 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other
Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. 

Section 10.04 Attorney Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the
Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents and the Arranger for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), including all Attorney Costs of White & Case
LLP, Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP and one local and foreign counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Arranger and each Lender for all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including
any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs of counsel to the Administrative Agent). The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable search, filing, recording and title insurance charges and fees
related thereto, and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations.
All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. If any Loan Party fails to pay when due
any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. 

Section 10.05 Indemnification by the Borrower. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the
Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, trustees, investment advisors and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the
“Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any
Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use
or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter
of Credit), or (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental
Liability related in any way to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether

  

 -142- 

 
based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) (all the
foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee or (y) a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer,
employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission
systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its
activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be
effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether
or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor;
provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with
respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.05. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of
the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
 Section 10.06
Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part
thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other
party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and
effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus
interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. 

Section 10.07 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, except that, except as otherwise provided herein (including without limitation as permitted under Section 7.04), neither Holdings nor the Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way of

  

 -143- 

 
participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of
Section 10.07(g) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 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, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b)
(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Borrower, provided that, no consent of the Borrower shall be required
for an assignment to a Revolving Credit Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Lender, an Approved Fund relating thereto (or, in the case of an assignment of any Term Loan, to any other Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender or any Approved Fund) or,
if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, with respect to the Borrower only, Section 8.01(f) or (g), has occurred and is continuing, any Assignee; provided, however, that during the 30 day period
following the Closing Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment to any Lender if such Lender was previously identified in the initial allocations of the Loans provided by the Arrangers to the Borrower and reviewed and
approved by the Borrower in writing on or prior to the Closing Date; 
 (B) the Administrative Agent;
provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; 

(C) each L/C Issuer at the time of such assignment, provided that no consent of such L/C Issuers shall be required
for any assignment of a Term Loan or any assignment to an Agent or an Affiliate of an Agent; and 
 (D) in the
case of any assignment of any of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Swing Line Lender and the RC Agent. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the foregoing, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in no event shall a Qualifying Canadian Lender be entitled to assign its interest under the Revolving Credit Facility to any Person who is not a Qualifying Canadian
Lender. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of
the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) 
  

 -144- 

 
shall not be less than $2,500,000 (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility) or $1,000,000 (in the case of a Term Loan) unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents,
provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, with respect to the Borrower only, Section 8.01(f) or (g), has occurred and is continuing
and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption;
and 
 (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire and any documentation required by Section 3.01(e). 
 This paragraph (b) shall not
prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis. 

(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d) and receipt by the
Administrative Agent from the parties to each assignment of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this
Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights 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 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).
Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(e). For greater certainty, any
assignment by a Lender pursuant to this Section 10.07 shall not in any way constitute or be deemed to constitute a novation, discharge, recession, extinguishment or substitution of the existing Indebtedness and any Indebtedness so
assigned shall continue to be the same obligation and not a new obligations. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for
this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, Banker’s Acceptances, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and amounts due under Section 2.04, 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 Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in
the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  

 -145- 

 (e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) or Acceptances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Agents 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 and (iv) if the Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and, in any event, within one (1) Business Day) provide the Borrower
with information concerning any participation sold to a Person who is not a Qualifying Canadian Lender to allow the Borrower to comply with its obligations to withhold and remit Canadian withholding tax. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 10.01(a),
(b), (c), (e) or (f) that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01
(subject to the requirements of Section 3.01(e)), 3.04 and 3.05 (through the applicable Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b).
To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as
though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of each
participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any such Participant Register shall
be available for inspection by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.07(e), in no event
shall a Qualifying Canadian Lender be entitled to sell any participation in its interest in the Commitments or the Loans to any Person who is not a Qualifying Canadian Lender unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 10.07(e), each Lender that is not a Qualifying Canadian Lender shall have the right to sell one or more participations in all or any part of its Loans, Commitments or other Obligations to one or
more lenders or other Persons that provide financing to such Lender in the form of sales and repurchases of participations without having to satisfy the foregoing requirements. 

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 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. 

 

 -146- 

 (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall
release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special
purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would
otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all
or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) in the case of any Swing Line Loan or Revolving Credit Loan, unless an Event of Default exists, the SPC must be a
Qualifying Canadian Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable and
such liability shall remain with the Granting Lender, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record
hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC
may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential
basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee Obligation or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a
security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it
to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions
of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the
Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise. 

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender may, upon thirty
(30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, respectively; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C
Issuer or the Swing Line Lender shall have identified, in consultation with the Borrower, a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable. In the event of any
such resignation of an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by
the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line 

 

 -147- 

 
Lender, as the case may be. If an L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding
as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Canadian Prime Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed
Amounts pursuant to Section 2.04(c)). If the Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of
the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Canadian Prime Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(c).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing any successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender must be a Qualifying Canadian Lender. 

Section 10.08 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information
and to not use or disclose such information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal
counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested
by any Governmental Authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g) or 10.07(i), counterparty to a Swap Contract,
Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; (h) to any Governmental Authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization)
regulating any Lender; (i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties
received by it from such Lender); or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to
the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 10.08,
“Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or its Affiliates or its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors or agents, relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their
subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that,
in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential or (ii) is delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03
hereof. 
 Section 10.09 Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, 

 

 -148- 

 
without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C
Issuer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be
contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender or its Affiliates and no L/C Issuer or its Affiliates shall have
a right to set off and apply any deposits held or other Indebtedness owning by such Lender or its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer or its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary of a Loan Party which is not
a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code unless such Subsidiary is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Borrower. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such L/C Issuer may have.

 Section 10.10 Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document
shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier be confirmed by a manually signed original
thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier. 

Section 10.11 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated
agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan
Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each
Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. 

Section 10.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other
Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each
Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall
continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

 Section 10.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 10.14 GOVERNING LAW. 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
(EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN).

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, the 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 the Borrower (or to any other
Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).

shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents or the Secured Hedge Agreements (including the exercise of any right

any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provision of this Section 10.18 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any
Loan Party. 
 Section 10.19 USA PATRIOT Act. Each 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 the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify
the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. 
 Section 10.20 Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby
authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf and hereby approves and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

ARTICLE II 

The Commitments and Borrowings 

Section 2.01 The Loans. 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make to the Borrower a single loan denominated in
Dollars in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment on the Closing Date. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as
further provided herein. 
 Section 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made
upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) (i) three (3) Business
Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (ii) one (1) Business Day before the requested date of any Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans or any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed
Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in
excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.04(c) and 2.05(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall 

 

 -47- 

 
be in a principal amount of 1,000,000 in the applicable currency or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify
(i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be
(which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of
the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted
to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of,
conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Borrower and Lenders acknowledge and agree that any conversion or continuation of an existing Loan shall be deemed to be a continuation of that Loan with a converted interest rate methodology and not a new Loan. 

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its
Pro Rata Share of the Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or
continuation described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Lender shall make (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to make) the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds
at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01, the Administrative Agent shall
make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or
(ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower. 

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest
Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require
that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error. 
 (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the
other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect.

Section 2.05 [Reserved]. 

Section 2.06 Prepayments and Offers to Prepay. 

(a) Optional Prepayments. 

(i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans
in whole or in part without premium or penalty (except to the extent provided in Section 2.10(a)); provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time)
(A) two (2) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,500,000
or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount
thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the
amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.06(a) shall be applied as directed by the Borrower and shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of
prepayment under Section 2.06(a)(i) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Loans, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. 

(b) Mandatory Prepayments and Offers to Prepay. 

(i) [Reserved]. 

(ii) (A) Subject to Sections 2.06(b)(ii)(B) and 2.06(d), if (x) the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary Disposes of any property or assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(a), (b), (c), (d) (to the extent constituting a Disposition to a Loan Party), (e),
(g), (h), (m), (o) or (q)) or (y) any Casualty Event occurs, which in the aggregate results in the realization or receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall make an Offer to Prepay, in
accordance with Section 2.06(b)(ii)(C), an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% (such percentage, the “Asset Percentage”) of all such Net Cash Proceeds realized or received; provided that no such
Offer to Prepay shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(ii)(A) with respect to such portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that the Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of
its intent to reinvest in accordance with Section 2.06(b)(ii)(B) (which notice may only be provided if no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing). 

 

 -49- 

 (B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect
to any Disposition (other than any Disposition specifically excluded from the application of Section 2.06(b)(ii)(A)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash
Proceeds in assets useful for its business within (x) fifteen (15) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Borrower enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within fifteen
(15) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (1) fifteen (15) months following receipt thereof or (2) one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date of such legally binding commitment; provided that
(i) so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be permitted to make any such reinvestments (other than pursuant to a legally binding commitment that the Borrower entered into at a time when no
Event of Default is continuing) and (ii) if any Net Cash Proceeds are not so reinvested by the deadline specified in clause (x) or (y) above, as applicable, or if any such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so
reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, an amount equal to the Asset Percentage of any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied subject to Section 2.06(d), in accordance with
Section 2.06(b)(ii)(C), to the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in this Section 2.06. 

(C) On each occasion that the Borrower must make an Offer to Prepay the Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.06(b)(ii), the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after the date of realization or receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or, in the case of prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(ii)(B), within five
(5) Business Days of the deadline specified in clause (x) or (y) thereof, as applicable, or of the date the Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested, as the
case may be), make an offer to prepay, in accordance with Section 2.06(b)(vi) below, the principal amount of Loans in an amount equal to the Asset Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds realized or received (the “Offer to
Prepay”). The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender a copy of the Offer to Prepay on the next Business Day following receipt of same. Each Lender shall have the right to accept or decline the Offer to Prepay by providing written
notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the thirtieth day following receipt of same (the “Offer Response Date”). The failure of a Lender to notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance prior to the Offer Response Date shall
be deemed to be a rejection of the Offer to Prepay. The Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event within three Business Days of the Offer Response Date, notify the Borrower of which Lenders have accepted the Offer to Prepay prior to the
Offer Response Date, and such Lenders shall be entitled to the prepayment within three (3) Business Days of the Borrower’s receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent. 

(iii) Subject to Section 2.06(d), the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness
not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03, the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date
which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds. 
 (iv) Subject to
Section 2.06(d), within five (5) Business Days following the consummation of any Calgary Permanent Financing or any sale (including Sale Leaseback) of the Calgary Property, the Borrower shall cause to be repaid an aggregate principal
amount of Loans equal to $10,000,000. 
  

 -50- 

 (v) [Reserved]. 

(vi) (X) Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be applied as directed by the
Borrower; and (Y) each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares subject to clause (vii) of this Section 2.06(b). 

(vii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be
made pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of
such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Each Lender may reject all or a
portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this
Section 2.06(b) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day after the date of such
Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory prepayment of Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender
fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the
total amount of such mandatory repayment of Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the Borrower (“Retained Declined Proceeds”). 

(viii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.06(b) and subject to
Section 2.06(d), (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to an Offer to Prepay pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(ii) (a “Foreign
Disposition”) or the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Casualty Event”), are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to Canada, the Borrower shall not
be required to make an Offer to Prepay at the time provided in Section 2.06(b)(ii). Instead, such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit
repatriation to Canada (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such
affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation)
applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined
in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or any Foreign Casualty Event would have a material adverse tax cost consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit received in
connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds, the Net Cash Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on
which any Net Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to this 

 

 -51- 

 
Section 2.06(b), (x) the Borrower applies an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds had been received by the
Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds that would be calculated if
received by such Foreign Subsidiary) or (y) such Net Cash Proceeds are applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary. 

(ix) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on
the date that is five years and one day after the Closing Date (the “Withholding Tax Period”), mandatory prepayments otherwise required to be applied to outstanding Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(iii),
Section 2.06(b)(iv) and Section 2.06(b)(viii) shall not be required to be applied to any of such loans if, after giving effect to such application, the aggregate principal amount of Loans so repaid exceeds 25% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Loans made on the Closing Date (the “Excess Prepayment Amount”); provided that on the Business Day immediately following the end of the Withholding Tax Period, the Borrower shall prepay a
principal amount of the Loans that is equal to the Excess Prepayment Amount. The mandatory prepayments with respect to any Incremental Loans or any Additional Incremental Loans shall also be subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph,
provided that, for purposes of calculating the amount of mandatory prepayments for purposes of complying with such limitations, each Incremental Loan or Additional Incremental Loan shall be treated as a separate loan (and shall not be
aggregated with the Loans or any other loans), and the Withholding Tax Period will commence upon the borrowing of such Incremental Loans. The above-described mandatory prepayments shall be applied to the Loans as directed by the Borrower.

 (c) Interest, Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.06 shall be accompanied by all
accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to
Section 3.05. 
 (d) Prepayments Subject to First Lien Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in Section 2.06(b), the amount of any prepayment required under Section 2.06(b)(ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be reduced by the aggregate principal amount of the Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit
Agreement) prepaid under such corresponding Sections 2.06(b)(ii), (iii) and (iv), respectively, of the First Lien Credit Agreement. 

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.06, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.06, prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this
Section 2.06 in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit with the Administrative Agent the amount of any such prepayment otherwise
required to be made hereunder until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to
the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.06. Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be so prepaid, provided that the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit
be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 2.06. 
  

 -52- 

 Section 2.07 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) **************** Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused
Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction and
(ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Commitments
if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Loans, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed. 

(b) Mandatory. The Commitment of each Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such
Lender’s Loan pursuant to Section 2.01. 
 (c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the unused Commitments under this Section 2.07. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments, the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). 

Section 2.08 Repayment of Loans. 

(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Maturity Date, the aggregate
principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such date. 
 (b) For the avoidance of doubt, all Loans shall be repaid, whether
pursuant to this Section 2.08 or otherwise, in the currency in which they were made. 
 Section 2.09
Interest. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(b), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 

(b) The Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as
may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 

 

 -53- 

 (d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in the currency in which each Loan was made.

 Section 2.10 Prepayment and Other Fees. 

(a) Prepayment Premium. Each voluntary prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and each mandatory
prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(iii) (which for the avoidance of doubt shall be deemed to include any refinancing of the Loans contemporaneous with a transaction that would constitute a Change of Control if the Loans
were not so refinanced) shall be subject to the payment of a prepayment premium in an amount equal to (a) in the case of a prepayment or repayment made on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date, 3.0% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Loans that are so prepaid or repaid, (b) in the case of a prepayment or repayment made after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date, 2.0% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Loans that are so prepaid or repaid, (c) in the case of a prepayment or repayment made after the second anniversary of the Closing Date and on or before the third anniversary of the Closing Date, 1.0% and (d) in the case of
any prepayment or repayment made after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, zero. 
 (b) Other Fees. The Borrower
shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly
agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Agent.) 
 Section 2.11 Computation of Interest and Fees. All
computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days or three hundred and sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be,
and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which such Loan is made, and
shall not accrue on such Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any such Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.13(a), bear
interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a number
of days less than a full year, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, (y) multiplied
by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by the number of days based on which such rate is calculated. The principle of deemed
reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement. The rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. 

Section 2.12 Evidence of Indebtedness. 

(a) The Borrowings made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by
one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation 
  

 -54- 

 
Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall
be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or
otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute
and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the
date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 (b) [Reserved]. 

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.12(a), and by each Lender in
its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.12(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register,
each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any
finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

Section 2.13 Payments Generally. 

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or
setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s
Office in Dollars in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other
applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the
next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 
 (b) If any payment to be made by
the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such
extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 

(c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it
to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative 

 

 -55- 

 
Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding
amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then: 

(i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent
the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent
to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate; and 

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the
amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent
(the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount
of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative
Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum
equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may
have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any
Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.13(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing
provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in
accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any
date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan. 

(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to
constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
  

 -56- 

 (g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the
Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.04. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or
in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of
the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such
Lender. 
 Section 2.14 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall
obtain on account of the Loans made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall
immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in
respect of such Loans, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in
Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price
paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another
Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.14 and
will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests,
demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. 

Section 2.15 Incremental Borrowings. 

(a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the
Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more additional tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Loans”) be made available to an Incremental Borrower, provided that both at
the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and at the time that any such Incremental Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto) no Default or
Event of Default shall exist. Each tranche of Incremental Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (provided that such amount may be 

 

 -57- 

 
less than $5,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal
amount of the Incremental Loans (together with the aggregate amount of any Incremental First Lien Term Loans) shall not exceed the sum of $75,000,000 and the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of Loans hereunder and of First Lien Term
Loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement (such sum, the “Incremental Availability”); provided, that any Incremental Borrower may incur additional Incremental Loans hereunder (the “Additional Incremental
Loans”), so long as, on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such Additional Incremental Loan, either (i) the Senior Secured Incurrence Test would be satisfied or (ii) the Senior Secured
Leverage Ratio would be no greater than the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio in effect immediately prior to such incurrence (it being understood that, subject to the satisfaction of such test, Additional Incremental Loans may be effected by the
Borrower and/or Incremental Borrower whether or not there is any unused Incremental Availability). The Incremental Loans (a) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Loans, (b) shall not mature
earlier than the Maturity Date and (c) shall be treated substantially the same as the Loans (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments), provided that (i) the terms and conditions applicable to
Incremental Loans and Additional Incremental Loans may be materially different from those of the Loans to the extent such differences are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (ii) the interest rates applicable to the Incremental
Loans and Additional Incremental Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereof and (iii) Incremental Loans and Additional Incremental Loans may be made available in any Incremental Currency; provided, further,
that, as of the date of the incurrence of the Incremental Loans or Additional Incremental Loans, as the case may be, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Incremental Loans or Additional Incremental Loans, as applicable, shall not be shorter
than that of the Loans. Each notice from the Borrower and/or Other Incremental Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Loans or Additional Incremental Loans, as
applicable. Incremental Loans and Additional Incremental Loans may be made by any existing Lender (and each existing Lender will have the right, but not an obligation, to make a portion of any Incremental Loan or Additional Incremental Loan on terms
permitted in this Section 2.15 and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an
“Additional Lender”). Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans and Additional Incremental Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this
Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Holdings, the Borrower, the Incremental Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The
Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to
effect the provisions of this Section (including, without limitation, such amendments to take into account the accession of an Incremental Borrower to this Agreement and an Incremental Currency other than Dollars) including, without limitation, the
amendments described in Section 2.15(b). If any Incremental Loans or Additional Incremental Loans are incurred by an Other Incremental Borrower other than the Borrower, the Borrower shall guaranty such Loans pursuant to a guaranty
consistent with the form of Guaranty provided on the Closing Date. The effectiveness of (and, the borrowing under) any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing
Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Sections 4.01(h) and (i) (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Borrowing” or similar language in such Sections 4.01(h) and
(i) shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Borrower 

 

 -58- 

 
and/or Incremental Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Loans and Additional Incremental Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to
provide any Incremental Loans or Additional Incremental Loans unless it so agrees. 
 (b) If an Incremental Borrower is a direct
or indirect holding company of the Borrower, the Incremental Amendment shall provide, among other things, that: 

(i) all incurrence tests and other provisions calculated prior to such Incremental Amendment by reference to the financial
performance or circumstance of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including without limitation Capital Expenditure, Capitalized Software Expenditures, Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Lease Expense, Consolidated Senior Secured Debt,
Consolidated Total Debt, Consolidated Working Capital, Cumulative Excess Cash Flow and Excess Cash Flow) shall be, immediately following such Incremental Amendment, calculated by reference to the financial performance or circumstance of such
Incremental Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries provided that it is understood and agreed that (A) the applicable maximum or minimum financial ratios or amounts shall not be amended and (B) such incurrence tests and other
calculations shall be determined without giving effect to the Holdings Loans or any other Indebtedness of Holdings not guaranteed by any other Loan Party; 

(ii) solely in connection with consummation of an acquisition previously identified to the Administrative Agent and the
financing thereof, (A) for purposes of Sections 2.15(a)(ii), 7.02(j)(ii), 7.03(u)(ii) and 7.03(v)(ii), the incurrence tests set forth therein shall be calculated as if the Holding Loans were Loans of the
Borrower at such time, (B) the ratio set forth in the definition of Senior Secured Incurrence Test shall be deemed to be 7.25:1.00 and (C) the ratio set forth in Section 7.03(u)(ii) shall be deemed to be 7.25:1.00; 

(iii) save as provided in this Section 2.15(b) or as the context otherwise requires (A) references to the
Borrower in this Agreement immediately prior to such Incremental Amendment shall include, from and after the effectiveness of such Incremental Amendment, such Incremental Borrower, and (B) if such Incremental Borrower is a holding company of
Holdings, references to Holdings in this Agreement immediately prior to such Incremental Amendment shall mean, from and after the effectiveness of such Incremental Amendment, such Incremental Borrower or the holding company of such Incremental
Borrower; 
 (iv) Holdings, the Borrower, such Incremental Borrower (and any other Intermediate Holding Company)
and the other Loan Parties shall enter into such Loan Documents and take such action to ensure, among other things, that the requirements set forth in the definition of “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement” are and continue to be
satisfied immediately following such Incremental Amendment, including without limitation (A) guaranteeing the Obligations and (B) securing the Obligations and Guarantees by a second-priority security interest in the Equity Interests of the
Borrower, such Incremental Borrower (and establishing a holding company of such Incremental Borrower if required for this purpose) and each Intermediate Holding Company; 

(v) except as set forth in clause (b)(i) above, all representations and warranties, covenants and Events of Default
contained in this Agreement applicable to the Borrower (immediately prior to such Incremental Amendment) and its Subsidiaries or Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis shall be modified to apply to such Incremental Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, on a consolidated basis unless otherwise mutually determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and 

 

 -59- 

 (vi) references in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Holdings,
the Borrower and an Intermediate Holding Company shall be modified to be references to such Incremental Borrower to the extent appropriate as mutually determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. 

(c) This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14 or 10.01 to the contrary. 

ARTICLE III  

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality 

Section 3.01 Taxes. 

(a) Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments by the Borrower or any Guarantor to or for the account of
any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all
liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding the Excluded Taxes (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and
liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender,
(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 3.01), each of such Agent and such Lender receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or Guarantor shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower or Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as possible thereafter),
the Borrower shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a facsimile copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to any Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the
Borrower shall indemnify such Agent and such Lender for any Taxes that may become payable by such Agent or such Lender arising out of such failure. 

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise,
property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any
Loan Document excluding, in each case, such amounts that result from an Assignment and Assumption, grant of a Participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new Applicable Lending Office or other office for receiving payments under any
Loan Document, except to the extent that any such change is requested in writing by the Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(b) being hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 

 

 -60- 

 (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount
of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable and paid under this Section 3.01) payable by such Agent and such Lender and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, will, at the Borrower’s
request, (A) provide the Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts or (B) have the amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes verified by an independent account. Payment
under this Section 3.01(c) shall be made within ten (10) days after the date such Lender or such Agent makes a demand therefor. 

(d) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes
as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by
the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund plus any interest included in such refund by the relevant taxing authority attributable thereto) to the Borrower, net of all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the
Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any
information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential). Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any
tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other
refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled. 
 (e) Each Lender agrees that, upon the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or (c) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory
restrictions) to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Applicable Lending Office(s) to suffer no
material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.01(d) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01(a) or (c). 
 Section 3.02 Illegality. 

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority that is a court, statutory board or
commission has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency 

 

 -61- 

 
Rate Loan, to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate as contemplated by this Agreement, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the
Administrative Agent, (A) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, (B) upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans
that have become unlawful or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans
to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (C) upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all
amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 3.05. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for any such notice and will not, in
the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 Section 3.03
Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency
Rate Loan, or that the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that Dollar deposits are not being
offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of
the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request
for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 

Section 3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans. 

(a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any Change in Law or a change in the interpretation of any Law,
in each case after the date hereof, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or a reduction in the amount
received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 3.01, (ii) the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any taxes imposed on or measured by net income (including branch profits) and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes payable by such
Lender, or (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c)), then from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such
demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. 

 

 -62- 

 (b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or
any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon
demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay
to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such demand. 

(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to
liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as
determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any
other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if
necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each
case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest
or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice. 

(d) Subject to Section 3.06(b), failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation. 
 (e) If any
Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event;
provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Applicable Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided
further that nothing in this Section 3.04(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b), (c) or (d). 

Section 3.05 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the
Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of
the Interest Period for such Loan; or 
  

 -63- 

 (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such
Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurocurrency Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; 

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to
terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. 
 For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to
the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar
market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 

Section 3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation. 

(a) Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting
forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 

(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04,
the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim;
provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower
under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another, or to
convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such
suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested. 
 (c) If the obligation of any
Lender to make or continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loan from one Interest Period to another, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s Eurocurrency
Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such
earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no
longer exist: 
 (i) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans have been so converted, all
payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and 
  

 -64- 

 (ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest
Period to another by such Lender as Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

 (d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in
Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do
promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, on the first day(s) of
the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans and by such Lender are held
pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments. 

Section 3.07 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. 

(a) If at any time (i) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a
result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, or (ii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting
Lender, then the Borrower may, on ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to
Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor
any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided further that (A) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender
becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents. 

(b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and

Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans so assigned shall be paid in
full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, the assignor Lender shall deliver to the assignee Lender the
appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans and Commitments, except with respect to
indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. 
 (c) [Reserved]. 

 

 -65- 

 (d) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that
the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the
terms of Section 10.01 and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting

 -72- 

 Section 5.14 Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc. Each of the Loan Parties and
the other Restricted Subsidiaries own, license or possess the right to use, all of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, domain names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, technology, software, know-how database rights, design rights and other

the Loan Parties and any Restricted Subsidiary (including fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations) required to be performed in connection with the Canadian Pension Plans and the funding agreements therefor have been performed
on a timely basis, except to the extent that any failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding disputes concerning the assets of the Canadian Pension Plans or Canadian Benefit Plans

of the applicable jurisdiction’s financial reporting requirements), did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Foreign Plan, and for each Foreign Plan which is not funded, the obligations of such Foreign Plan are properly accrued.

 ARTICLE IX  

Administrative Agent and Other Agents 

Section 9.01 Appointment and Authorization of Agents. 

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under
the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the
Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to
connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral
agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacity as a Lender) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest, charge or other Lien created
by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) 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, as “collateral agent” (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact 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 Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative
Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX (including Section 9.07, as though such coagents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents)
as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 
  

 -103- 

 Section 9.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of
its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies
thereunder) by or through Affiliates, agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact, such sub-agents as shall be deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel, both internal and external, 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 agent or sub-agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct. 
 Section 9.03 Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable to any Lender for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the
final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any
Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be
created under the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or
participant 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 or any
Affiliate thereof. 
 Section 9.04 Reliance by Agents. 

(a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature,
resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified
in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by
the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. 
  

 -104- 

 (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in
Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or
acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto. 

Section 9.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of
any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a
Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent
shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 

Section 9.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has
made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently
and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to
extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person 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 investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent
herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan
Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person. 

Section 9.07 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders
shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related
Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities

  

 -105- 

 
resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no
action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes
of this Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any
Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative
Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under,
this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided that such reimbursement
by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto, if any. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other
Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.08 Agents in their Individual Capacities.
DB Canada and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with
each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though DB Canada were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, DB Canada or its
Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the
Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, DB Canada shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as
though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include DB Canada in its individual capacity. 

Section 9.09 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty
(30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which appointment of a successor
agent shall require the consent of the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or (g) (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent”, shall
mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was the Administrative Agent under this 
  

 -106- 

 
Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of
resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall 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. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such
amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may reasonably request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to
be granted by the Collateral Documents or (b) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion,
privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. 

Section 9.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan 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 the Loans, and all other
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 and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 10.04) 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 any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is
hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount
due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 10.04. 

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 any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 Section 9.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably agree:

 (a) that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan
Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), the expiration or termination of
any other obligation (including a guarantee that is contingent in nature), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder or under any
other Loan Document to any Person other than the Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries, (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in
writing by the Required Lenders, or (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) or (d) below; 

(b) to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any
Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(j); 
 (c) that any Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder; and 

(d) if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall cease to be a Material Subsidiary (as certified in writing by a Responsible Officer), (i) such
Subsidiary shall be automatically released from its obligations under any Guaranty and (ii) any Liens granted by such Subsidiary or Liens on the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary shall be automatically released, 

provided, in each case, the corresponding release is also provided for in the Second Lien Loan Documents. 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s
authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each case as specified in this
Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent will promptly (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party
may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the
Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11. 

Section 9.12 Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or
signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent”, or “arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without
limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other
Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

 Section 9.13 Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents. 

(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction
denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in
particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or
in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a
“Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”). 

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each
and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and
vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such
duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the
Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such
Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require. 

(c) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the
Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it 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. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental
Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

Miscellaneous 

Section 10.01 Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the
case may be, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall: 

(a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being
understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender); 

 

 -109- 

 (b) postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any payment of
principal or interest under Section 2.08 or 2.09 without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans
shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest; 
 (c) reduce
the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or (subject to clause (iii) of the second proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without

such amendment, waiver or other modification. 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 the Commitment of such Lender
may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the
Lenders). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of
the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and
fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans, the Incremental Loans and Additional Incremental Loans, if any, and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and
(b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Loans (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term
loan denominated in Dollars (“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term
Loans, (b) the Applicable Rate with respect to such Replacement Term Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Replacement Term Loans) shall not be higher than the Applicable Rate for such Refinanced Term Loans (or similar
interest rate spread applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans) immediately prior to such refinancing, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of
such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the Refinanced Term Loans) and (d) all other terms
applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for
covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01, the Intercreditor Agreement, any guarantees,
collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended, supplemented and
waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice
of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (iii) to cause such Intercreditor Agreement, guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. 
 Section 10.02 Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies. 

(a) General. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or electronic mail address, and all notices and other
communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows: 

(i) if to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone

 -111- 

 (ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic
mail address or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent. 
 All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of
(i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, four (4) Business Days after deposit in
the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail (which form of delivery is subject to the provisions of
Section 10.02(b)), when delivered; provided that notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to Article II shall not be effective until actually received by such Person during the
person’s normal business hours. In no event shall a voice mail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder. 

(b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or other
electronic communication. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders.

 (c) Reliance by Agents and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon
any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form
of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities
resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. All telephonic notices to the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the
Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
 (d) Notice to other Loan
Parties. The Borrower agrees that notices to be given to any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be given to the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.02 with the same effect
as if given to such other Loan Party in accordance with the terms hereunder or thereunder. 
 Section 10.03 No Waiver;
Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. 

Section 10.04 Attorney Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the
Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents and the Arranger for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated),

  

 -112- 

 
including all Attorney Costs of White & Case LLP, Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP and one local and foreign counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, and (b) to pay or reimburse
the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Arranger and each Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs of counsel to the Administrative Agent). The foregoing costs and
expenses shall include all reasonable search, filing, recording and title insurance charges and fees related thereto, and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.04
shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice
relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party
by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. 
 Section 10.05 Indemnification by the Borrower. Whether or not
the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, trustees, investment
advisors and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements
(including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery,
enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby,
(b) any Commitment or Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the
Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) (all the foregoing,
collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee or (y) a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel,
agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in
connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in
connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether
or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders 
  

 -113- 

 
or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount
to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.05. The
agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other
Obligations. 
 Section 10.06 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is
made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or
required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then
(a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and
(b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at
a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. 
 Section 10.07 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, except that, except as otherwise provided herein (including without limitation as permitted under Section 7.04), neither Holdings nor the Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way of participation in accordance
with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(g) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.07(h) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 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, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or
by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may
assign to one or more assignees (“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Borrower, provided that, no
consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to any other Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender or any Approved Fund) or, if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, with respect to the Borrower only,
Section 8.01(f) or (g), has occurred and is continuing, any Assignee; provided, however, that during the 30 day period following the Closing Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment
to any Lender if such Lender was previously identified in the initial allocations of the Loans provided by the Arranger to the Borrower and reviewed and approved by the Borrower in writing on or prior to the Closing Date; and 

 

 -114- 

 (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the
Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Loan to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. 

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of
the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an
Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, with respect to the Borrower only, Section 8.01(f) or (g), has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its
Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 
 (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption; and 
 (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any documentation required by Section 3.01(e). 

(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d) and receipt by the
Administrative Agent from the parties to each assignment of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this
Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights 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 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).
Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(e). For greater certainty, any
assignment by a Lender pursuant to this Section 10.07 shall not in any way constitute or be deemed to constitute a novation, discharge, recession, extinguishment or substitution of the existing Indebtedness and any Indebtedness so
assigned shall continue to be the same obligation and not a new obligations. 
  

 -115- 

 (d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and
related interest amounts) of the Loans, and amounts due under Section 2.04, 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 Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to
any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it);
provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the
Borrower, the Agents 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 or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells
such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 10.01(a), (b),
(c), (e) or (f) that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 (subject to the
requirements of Section 3.01(e)), 3.04 and 3.05 (through the applicable Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b). To the extent
permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a
Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of each participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any such Participant Register shall be available for
inspection by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.07(e), each Lender shall have the
right to sell one or more participations in all or any part of its Loans, Commitments or other Obligations to one or more lenders or other Persons that provide financing to such Lender in the form of sales and repurchases of participations without
having to satisfy the foregoing requirements. 
  

 -116- 

 (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 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. 
 (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment
shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special
purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would
otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make
all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase
the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or
similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable and such liability shall remain with the Granting Lender, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver
or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by
such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment
with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee
Obligation or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
(1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any
portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee
actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not
be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise. 

(j) [Reserved].

 Section 10.08 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information and to not use or disclose such information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment

provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier.

 U.S. SECOND LIEN GUARANTY 

U.S. SECOND LIEN GUARANTY dated as of August 28, 2007, among SMART TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION (“Smart”), certain
Subsidiaries of the Borrower (defined below) from time to time party hereto and DEUTSCHE BANK AG, CANADA BRANCH, as Administrative Agent. 

Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 28, 2007 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), among SMART Technologies ULC, as borrower (the “Borrower”), SMART Technologies (Holdings) Inc. (“Holdings”), Deutsche Bank AG, Canada Branch, as

Lenders have agreed to extend credit to the Borrower subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Second Lien Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Lenders to extend such credit are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and
delivery of this Agreement. Each Guarantor is an affiliate of the Borrower, will derive substantial benefits from the extension of credit to the Borrower pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement and is willing to execute and deliver this
Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to extend such credit. 
 Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I

meanings specified in the Second Lien Credit Agreement. 
 (b) The rules of construction specified in Article 1 of the
Second Lien Credit Agreement also apply to this Agreement. 
 SECTION 1.02 Other Defined Terms. As used in this
Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below: 
 “Agreement” means this Guaranty.

 “Claiming Party” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 3.02. 

“Contributing Party” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 3.02. 

“Guaranty Parties” means, collectively, Smart and each Guarantor (as defined in the Second Lien Credit Agreement).

 “Guaranty Supplement” means an instrument in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto. 

 “Second Lien Credit Agreement” has the meaning assigned to such term in the

 “U.S. Guarantor” means Smart and each Restricted Subsidiary (other
than any Excluded Subsidiary) that is a wholly-owned Material U.S. Subsidiary that becomes a party to this Agreement after the Closing Date. 

ARTICLE II 

GUARANTY 

SECTION 2.01 Guaranty. Each Guarantor absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors
and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without
notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. Each of the Guarantors waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower or any
other Guaranty Party of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. 

SECTION 2.02 Guaranty of Payment. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of
payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of the Obligations, or to any balance of any deposit account
or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other Person. 

SECTION 2.03 No Limitations. (a) Except for termination of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in
Section 4.13, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be
subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of
each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of
any Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this
Agreement; (iii) the release of any security held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; or (v) any
other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the
Obligations). Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or
apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of
any Guarantor hereunder. 
  

 Page 2 

 (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense
based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Guaranty Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations, or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guaranty
Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents, at their election, foreclose on any security held
by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other
Guaranty Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any other Guaranty Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have
been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to
extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guaranty Party, as the case may be, or any security. 

(c) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that
it is the intention of all such Persons that this Agreement and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the other Secured
Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not
constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 (d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive indirect benefits from
the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in this Agreement are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

SECTION 2.04 Reinstatement. Each of the Guarantors agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of
the Borrower, any other Guaranty Party or otherwise. 
 SECTION 2.05 Agreement To Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the
foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Guaranty Party to pay any
Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for
distribution to the Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guaranty Party
arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article III. 

 

 Page 3 

 SECTION 2.06 Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and
keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s and each other Guaranty Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations, and the nature, scope and extent of the risks
that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or
risks. 
 ARTICLE III 

SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION 

SECTION 3.01 Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to
Section 3.02) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Obligation (the “Claiming Party”), the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the
amount of such payment, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing Parties together
with the net worth of the Claiming Party on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 4.14, the date of the Guaranty Supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor). Any
Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such payment. 

SECTION 3.02 Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors
under Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of
the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 3.01 and 3.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to
its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. 

(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after notice from the
Collateral Agent, all Indebtedness owed by it to any Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. 

ARTICLE IV 

MISCELLANEOUS 

SECTION 4.01 Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in
writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Second Lien
Credit Agreement. 
  

 Page 4 

 SECTION 4.02 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent, any other Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other 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, any other Agent 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 consent to any departure by any Guaranty Party therefrom shall in any event
be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 4.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on
any Guaranty Party in any case shall entitle any Guaranty Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Guaranty Party or Guaranty Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Second
Lien Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 4.03 Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses, Indemnification. (a) The
parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder from each Guarantor as provided in Section 10.04 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement as if such Section were set out in
full herein and reference to “the Borrower” therein were references to “each Guarantor.” 
 (b) Without
limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each Guarantor agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 10.05 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement) against, and
hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing agreements or instruments contemplated
hereby, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulted from (x) the
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee or (y) a material breach of any Loan Document by such Indemnitee or of
any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee. 
 (c) Any such amounts
payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations guaranteed hereby and secured by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 4.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, 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 or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 4.03 shall be payable within ten days of written demand therefor. 

 

 Page 5 

 SECTION 4.04 Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties
hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Guarantor or the Administrative Agent that are contained in this
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. 
 SECTION 4.05 Survival of
Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Guaranty Parties in the 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 shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, and shall
continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.

 SECTION 4.06 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication shall be as effective as
delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a
counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Guarantor and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit
of such Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Guarantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein
(and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Second Lien Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended,
modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder. 

SECTION 4.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 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. 
  

 Page 6 

 SECTION 4.08 Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Guarantor, any such notice being waived by each
Guarantor to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its
Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the respective Guarantor against any and all obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates hereunder, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall
have made demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the relevant
Guarantor and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under
this Section 4.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have. 

SECTION 4.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN).

DATE: AUGUST 28, 2007 

SECOND LIEN GUARANTEE 
  

	TO:	DEUTSCHE BANK AG, CANADA BRANCH, in its capacity as collateral agent for the SECURED PARTIES (the “Collateral Agent”)

 Capitalized terms used but not defined in this second lien guarantee (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise
modified, this “Guarantee”) shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the second lien credit agreement dated as of August 28, 2007 among, inter alia, Smart Technologies ULC (the “Borrower”), Smart
Technologies (Holdings) Inc., the Collateral Agent, Deutsche Bank AG, Canada Branch, as Administrative Agent, and the other Lenders party thereto, as amended, restated, extended, supplemented, replaced, continued, renewed or otherwise modified from
time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). “Guaranteed Parties” means, with respect to each Guarantor, each other Loan Party. Any of the terms defined herein may be used in the singular or the plural, unless the context
otherwise requires. In consideration of the Lenders making certain financial accommodations available to the Borrower and at the request of the Borrower that the undersigned and any other Person that becomes a party hereto (each, together with its
successors and assigns, a “Guarantor”, and collectively, the “Guarantors”) provide this Guarantee, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, each Guarantor
agrees as follows: 
  

	1.	Guarantee 

 Each Guarantor unconditionally
and irrevocably guarantees to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, each as to 100%, the due and punctual payment and performance of the
Obligations other than such Guarantor’s own Obligations. 
  

	2.	Continuing Obligation 

  

	 	(a)	As between the Collateral Agent and the Loan Parties, each Guarantor is and shall continue to be liable under this Guarantee notwithstanding: 

 

	 	(i)	any transaction which may take place between the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties and any Guaranteed Party and whether or not such Guarantor has been given
notice of such transaction and whether or not such Guarantor has consented thereto; and 

  

	 	(ii)	any act (other than a release or termination pursuant to Section 24), omission, neglect or default of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party which might
otherwise operate as a discharge, either partial or absolute, of any Guaranteed Party, and, whether or not such Guarantor has been given notice of such act, omission, neglect or default and whether or not such Guarantor has consented thereto.

	 	(b)	Without restricting the generality of the foregoing, as between the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, each Guarantor
is and shall continue to be liable under this Guarantee, notwithstanding: 

  

	 	(i)	the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party failing to or abstaining from perfecting any security which may be offered by any Guaranteed Party;

  

	 	(ii)	the release, discharge, renewal, modification, variation or amendment, in whole or in part, of the terms of any of the Obligations or any security (including without
restriction any increase or decrease in any Commitment, applicable interest rates, Applicable Rate or fees, or any extension or reduction in the Maturity Date); 

 

	 	(iii)	the granting of any time or other indulgences to the Borrower or anyone else now or hereafter liable to the Secured Parties in respect of the Obligations;

  

	 	(iv)	the taking of collateral security or additional guarantees by the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties; 

 

	 	(v)	the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party failing to or abstaining from realizing upon any security which may be available; 

 

	 	(vi)	the acceptance, by the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties, of any composition or arrangement involving any security which is available, or the variation or
termination of any contract or agreement between any Guaranteed Party and the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties; 

  

	 	(vii)	the release, howsoever obtained or caused, of any Guaranteed Party from any or all of the Obligations; 

 

	 	(viii)	the bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or other judicial proceedings relating to the dissolution of any Guaranteed Party; 

 

	 	(ix)	any compromise, reduction or disallowance of any of the Obligations by virtue of the application of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar such laws, and laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally or general principles of equity; 

  

	 	(x)	the existence of any claims, set-off or other rights that such Guarantor may have against the Borrower, any Secured Party or any other Person, whether or not related to
the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document; 

  

	 	(xi)	any invalidity, illegality, irregularity or unenforceability for any reason of the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document or in any part thereof as regards any
Guaranteed Party, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower of the principal of or interest on any Loan or other Credit Extension or any other amount payable by any Guaranteed Party under the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; 

  

 Page 2 

	 	(xii)	any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any Secured Party or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for
the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Obligations; 

  

	 	(xiii)	any contest by the Borrower or any other Person as to the amount of the Obligations; 

 

	 	(xiv)	the recovery of any judgment against any Guaranteed Party or any action to enforce the same; 

 

	 	(xv)	the transfer of any Guaranteed Party’s obligations under this Guarantee or any other Loan Document to any Secured Party or to anyone else, or the assumption of any
security with or without the release of any Guaranteed Party and with or without consent of the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties, the Borrower or any other Loan Party; or 

 

	 	(xvi)	the termination, for any cause or reason whatsoever, of any right of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties held against any Guaranteed Party pursuant to the
obligations represented by the Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. 

  

	 	    	The Collateral Agent, in its absolute discretion and without diminishing the liability of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder, or incurring any responsibility or
liability to the Borrower or any Guarantor, may do, commit or cause all acts, omission and results which are contemplated by the foregoing subparagraphs (i) through (xvi). 

 

	 	(c)	Any account settled or stated by or between the Secured Parties and any Loan Party, or admitted by or on behalf of any Loan Party, may be adduced by the Collateral
Agent or the other Secured Parties and, shall in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive evidence as against such Guarantor that the balance or amount appearing therein is the sum of money due by Loan Parties to the Secured Parties.

  

	 	(d)	Any rights of subrogation acquired by a Guarantor by reason of payment under this Guarantee shall not be exercised until all of the Obligations have been paid or repaid
in full. In the event of a Guarantor paying to the Collateral Agent (or otherwise making provision for repayment in accordance with the Credit Agreement) all of the Obligations, then such Guarantor shall be entitled, on demand made by it in writing
to the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties, to the assignment of so much of the security, if any, which remains in the Collateral Agent’s or any Secured Party’s possession at the time of receipt of the said payment.

  

	 	(e)	The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to exhaust its legal remedies against the Borrower, any other parties, or any additional or collateral security which it may
hold, prior to becoming entitled to payment hereunder. 

  

 Page 3 

	 	(f)	The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be direct and unconditional and independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, and a separate action or
actions may be brought and maintained against a Guarantor without the necessity of joining or previously proceeding against or exhausting any other remedy against the Borrower or any other Guarantor, or any security then held.

  

	 	(g)	If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then each Guarantor shall forthwith on demand of the Collateral Agent pay to the Collateral Agent for the account
of the Secured Parties all Obligations owing or payable at that time. In the event of a Guarantor’s failure to so pay, the outstanding sum may be recovered by the Collateral Agent against such Guarantor as a just debt due and improperly
withheld and it is the express intention and agreement of the Guarantors and the Secured Parties that such Guarantor shall fully and totally indemnify the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties for all costs, expenses, charges and monies of any
nature whatsoever, including, without restriction, all legal costs as between a solicitor and his own client either directly or indirectly, arising out of or associated with the enforcement of this Guarantee and the collection of all monies owing
hereunder by such Guarantor to the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties. 

  

	 	(h)	It is expressly acknowledged and agreed by each Guarantor that should the Collateral Agent obtain a judgment or judgments from a court of competent jurisdiction
pursuant to a default by a Guarantor with respect to any of the covenants contained in this Guarantee, then interest shall accrue, be calculated, and be payable to the Secured Parties by such Guarantor upon that judgment or judgments at the rate of
interest per annum and at the times as are stipulated in the Credit Agreement. Such interest shall commence on the date that judgment is granted and shall continue to be payable until the judgment monies, including accrued interest, have been paid
to the Secured Parties. 

  

	 	(i)	In its absolute discretion, the Collateral Agent may obtain an additional guarantee or guarantees of the Obligations. The taking of any additional guarantee shall not
reduce the liability of a Guarantor, which liability shall be joint and several with any other guarantor, to the extent that the guarantee is the same for each guarantor. 

 

	 	(j)	A Guarantor’s liability shall not be diminished or affected, where any person expected or believed by such Guarantor to be or to become an additional guarantor, is
not an additional guarantor and does not for any reason whatsoever become an additional guarantor. Further, a Guarantor’s liability shall not be diminished or affected by any transaction whatsoever which may take place between the Collateral
Agent or any Secured Party and any other Guarantor, including but not restricted to any act (other than a release or termination pursuant to Section 24), omission, neglect or default of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party which may vary
or terminate in whole or in part the liability of any other Guarantor. 

  

	 	(k)	No change in the name, objects, share capital, business, director’s powers, organization or management of any Loan Party shall in any way affect the obligations of
the Guarantors hereunder, either with respect to transactions occurring before or after any such change, it being understood that this Guarantee is to extend to the person or persons or corporation or trust or other business entity for the time
being and from time to time carrying on the business now carried on by each Loan Party notwithstanding any change or changes in the name or capitalization of any Loan Party and notwithstanding any reorganization of any Loan Party or its amalgamation
with any other or others or the sale or disposal of its business in whole or in part to another or others. 

  

 Page 4 

	3.	Representation - Authority and Enforceability 

Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties that it has obtained all corporate and other authorizations,
consents and approvals necessary for the granting and performance of this Guarantee and that this Guarantee is enforceable against each Guarantor in accordance with its terms. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall not be concerned to
inquire into the Borrower’s power or the powers of any of its directors or other agents, acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and all moneys, advances, renewals and credits actually borrowed or obtained from the Secured Parties by the
Borrower shall be deemed to form part of the Obligations notwithstanding any lack or limitation of status or power, incapacity of the Borrower or of its directors, or that the Borrower may not be a legal entity capable of being sued, or any
irregularity, defect or informality in the borrowing or obtaining of such moneys, advances, renewals or credits, whether known to the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties or not. 

 

	4.	Postponement of Claims and Subrogation 

  

	 	(a)	All debts and claims against any Loan Party now or subsequently held by the Guarantors and all of each of the Guarantor’s rights of subrogation (all such debts,
claims and rights, the “Claims”) shall be for the Secured Parties’ security and, as between each Guarantor, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, the Claims are postponed to the repayment and performance of the
Obligations. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, each of the Guarantors may receive payment in respect of the Claims except as prohibited under the Credit Agreement. 

 

	 	(b)	As security for and for the purpose of giving effect to the postponement of the Claims, each Guarantor assigns, transfers and sets over to the Collateral Agent all of
the Claims and irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent to be such Guarantor’s attorney upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the name of and on behalf of such Guarantor to collect, and
enforce or prove any such Claims, and for that purpose to execute and do in the name and on behalf of such Guarantor, all deeds, documents, transfers, assignments, assurances and things, and to commence and prosecute, at the Collateral Agent’s
election and, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, any or all proceedings which may appear to the Collateral Agent to be necessary or desirable. 

 

	 	(c)	 In the event of the bankruptcy, winding up or distribution of assets of any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent’s rights shall not be affected or
impaired by its omission to prove its claim in full or otherwise and it may prove such claim as it sees fit and may refrain from proving any claim in its sole discretion; and it may but shall not be obliged to prove in respect of the Claims assigned
as a debt owing to it by the Guarantors and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive all amounts payable in respect of the Claims, such amounts to be applied on such part or parts of the monies payable from time to time on account of the
Obligations as the Collateral Agent shall in its absolute discretion see fit until all of the Obligations shall have 

 

 Page 5 

	 	
been paid in full and thereafter the Guarantors shall be entitled to the balance, if any, of such amounts; all of which the Collateral Agent may do without in any way affecting, relieving,
limiting or lessening any Guarantor’s liability to the Secured Parties under this Guarantee. 

  

	 	(d)	The Collateral Agent shall have no duty, obligation or liability as a result of the assignment of the Claims to the Collateral Agent to protect or preserve the Claims,
or to ensure that the Claims do not become prescribed by statute or otherwise invalidated or rendered unenforceable. 

  

	5.	Subordination 

 Notwithstanding any
provision of this Guarantee to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Section 4 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment
in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required in Section 4 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations
and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. 

 

	6.	Amendments 

 Each Guarantor authorizes the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors and without affecting, relieving, limiting or lessening the Guarantors’ liability under this Guarantee, to alter the terms of all or
any part of the Obligations and any security and guarantees including, without limitation, modification of principal amount, times for payment or interest rates. 
  

	7.	Waivers 

 Each Guarantor waives each of
the following, to the fullest extent permitted by law: 
  

	 	(a)	all statutes of limitations as a defence to any action brought by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties against such Guarantor; 

 

	 	(b)	any defence based upon: 

  

	 	(i)	the unenforceability or invalidity of all or any part of the Obligations, or any security or other guarantee for the Obligations or any failure of the Collateral Agent
or any Secured Party to take proper care or act in a commercially reasonable manner in respect of any security for the Obligations or any collateral subject to such security, including in respect of any disposition of the Collateral;

  

	 	(ii)	any act or omission of the Borrower or any other person, including the Collateral Agent (other than a release or termination pursuant to Section 24) and the
Secured Parties, that directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of the Borrower or any other person or any of the Obligations or any security for the Obligations; or 

 

 Page 6 

	 	(iii)	the Collateral Agent’s or any Secured Party’s present or future method of dealing with the Borrower, any additional guarantor or any security (or any
collateral subject to the security) or other guarantee for the Obligations; 

  

	 	(c)	any right (whether now or hereafter existing) to require the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties, as a condition to the enforcement of this Guarantee:

  

	 	(i)	to accelerate the Obligations or proceed and exhaust any recourse against the Borrower or any other person; 

 

	 	(ii)	to realize on any security that it holds; 

  

	 	(iii)	to marshall the assets of any Loan Party; or 

  

	 	(iv)	to pursue any other remedy that a Guarantor may not be able to pursue itself and that might limit or reduce such Guarantor’s burden; 

 

	 	(d)	presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind including, without limitation, notices of default and notice of acceptance of this Guarantee;

  

	 	(e)	all suretyship defences and rights of every nature otherwise available under Alberta law and the laws of any other jurisdiction; and 

 

	 	(f)	all other rights and defences (legal or equitable) the assertion or exercise of which would in any way diminish the liability of such Guarantor under this Guarantee.

  

	8.	Collateral Agent’s Right to Act 

 The
Collateral Agent has the right to deal with the Loan Parties, the documents creating or evidencing the Obligations and the security (or any collateral subject to the security) now or subsequently held by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party
(including without limitation, all modifications, extensions, replacements, amendments, renewals, restatements, and supplements to such documents or security) as the Collateral Agent may see fit, including without limitation, to: 

 

	 	(a)	grant time, renewals, extensions, indulgences, releases and discharges to the Guaranteed Parties; 

 

	 	(b)	take new or additional security (including without limitation, other guarantees) from the Guaranteed Parties; 

 

	 	(c)	discharge or partially discharge any or all existing security; 

  

	 	(d)	elect not to take security from any Guaranteed Party or not to perfect security; 

 

	 	(e)	cease or refrain from, or continuing to, giving credit or making loans or advances to the Borrower; 

 

	 	(f)	accept partial payment or performance from any Guaranteed Party or otherwise waive compliance by any Guaranteed Party with the terms of any of the documents or
security; 

  

 Page 7 

	 	(g)	assign any such document or security to any person or persons in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; 

 

	 	(h)	deal or dispose in any manner (whether commercially reasonably or not) with any security (or any collateral subject to the security) or other guarantee for the
Obligations; or 

  

	 	(i)	apply all dividends, compositions and moneys at any time received from the Borrower or others or from the security upon such part of the Obligations;

 in each case, without notice to the Guarantors or any additional guarantor and without in any way affecting, relieving,
limiting or lessening the Guarantors or additional guarantor’s liability under this Guarantee. 
  

	9.	Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses, Indemnification 

  

	 	(a)	The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 10.04 of the Credit

 (e) each of the
Grantors has the power and authority to pledge the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or contemplated;

of the pledge effected hereby (other than such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect); 
 (g) by virtue of the
execution and delivery by the Grantors of this Agreement, when any Pledged Securities are delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Agreement, the Collateral Agent will obtain a legal, valid and perfected lien upon and security
interest in such Pledged Securities as security for the payment and performance of the Obligations; and

 SECTION 2.06 Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest. 

(a) Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Borrower
that the rights of the Grantors under this Section 2.06 are being suspended: 
 (i) Each Grantor shall be
entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents; provided that such rights and powers shall not be exercised in any manner that could materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of any Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of any of the
Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Second Lien Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same. 

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to each
Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as each Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to
subparagraph (i) above. 
 (iii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends,
interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or
distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Laws; provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute
Pledged Equity or Pledged Debt, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or
in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall
not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and shall be forthwith delivered to the
Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent). 

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Borrower of
the suspension of the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06, then all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to
paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest,
principal or other distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be
segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent).

to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Collateral Agent shall
promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 and that
remain in such account. 
 (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent
shall have notified the Borrower of the suspension of the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, then all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise
pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent,
which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to
time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or
consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06 and the Collateral Agent shall have all the obligations it would otherwise have under
paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06. 
 (d) Any notice given by the Collateral Agent to the Grantors suspending the
rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 (i) shall be given in writing, (ii) may be given with respect to one or more of the Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of
the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise
affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

SECTION 2.07 Uncertificated Securities. With respect to an Uncertificated Security (other than an Uncertificated Security credited
on the books of a Clearing Corporation of Securities Intermediary) held by any Grantor, such Grantor shall execute and cause the issuer of such Uncertificated Security to duly authorize, execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent or the First Lien
Collateral Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, within 60 days after the date of this Agreement (as such date may be extended by the Collateral Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent, as
applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, in their sole discretion, as the case may be) such Uncertificated Security or, if later, within 60 days of acquiring such Uncertificated Security, an agreement
satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to which such issuer agrees to comply with any and all instructions
originated by the Collateral Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, without further consent by such Grantor and not to comply with instructions regarding such
Uncertificated Security (and any partnership interests and limited liability company interests issued by such issuer) originated by any other Person other than a court of competent jurisdiction.

Security Interests in Personal Property 

SECTION 3.01 Security Interest. 

(a) As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Obligations, including the Guaranty, each Grantor
(other than the Borrower) hereby assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, a security interest (the “Security Interest”) in all right, title or interest in or to any and all of the following assets and properties now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor
now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Article 9 Collateral”):

(xi) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing and all supporting
obligations, collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing; 
 provided that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in (A) motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title, letter of credit rights and commercial tort
claims, (B) any Equity Interests in any Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary acquired pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition financed with Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.03(g) of the Second
Lien Credit Agreement if such Equity Interests are pledged as security for such Indebtedness or if and for so long as the terms of such Indebtedness prohibit the creation of any other lien on such Equity Interests, (C) Equity Interests of any
Person to the extent that such Person is an Unrestricted Subsidiary or an Excluded Subsidiary, (D) any asset with respect to which the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have agreed that the costs of obtaining such a security interest or

 Page 8 

 
(E) security interests prohibited by law or by agreements containing anti-assignment clauses not overridden by the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law, (F) any assets
(including deposit and securities accounts) specifically requiring perfection through control agreements, (G) any property of the Borrower, other than its right, title and interest in, to and under its Equity Interests in SMART Technologies
Corporation and all Proceeds thereof or (H) any General Intangible, Investment Property or other rights of a Grantor arising under any contract, lease, instrument, license or other document or any assets subject thereto if (but only to the
extent that) the grant of a security interest therein would (x) constitute a violation of a valid and enforceable restriction in respect of such General Intangible, Investment Property or other such rights in favor of a third party or under any
law, regulation, permit, order or decree of any Governmental Authority, unless and until all required consents shall have been obtained (for the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions described herein shall not include negative pledges or similar
undertakings in favor of a lender or other financial counterparty) or (y) expressly give any other party in respect of any such contract, lease, instrument, license or other document, the right to terminate its obligations thereunder,
provided, however, that the limitation set forth in clause (G) above shall not affect, limit, restrict or impair the grant by a Grantor of a security interest pursuant to this Agreement in any such Collateral to the extent that an
otherwise applicable prohibition or restriction on such grant is rendered ineffective by any applicable law, including the Uniform Commercial Code. Each Grantor shall, if requested to do so by the Administrative Agent, use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain any such required consent that is reasonably obtainable with respect to Collateral which the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be material. 

(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties at any time and from time to
time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements (including fixture filings) with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) indicate the Collateral as all assets of
such Grantor or words of similar effect or being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (ii) contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or the analogous legislation of each applicable
jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including (A) whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor and (B) in the case of
a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of the real property to which such Article 9 Collateral relates. Each Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request.

 (c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party
to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral. 

SECTION 3.02 Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor jointly and severally represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent
and the other Secured Parties that: 
 (a) Each Grantor has good and valid rights in and title to the Article 9 Collateral
with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the Collateral Agent the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained. 

 

 Page 9 

 (b) The Perfection Information has been duly prepared, completed and executed and the
information set forth therein, including the exact legal name of each Grantor, is correct and complete in all material respects as of the Closing Date. The UCC financing statements (including fixture filings, as applicable) or other appropriate
filings, recordings or registrations prepared by the Collateral Agent based upon the information provided to the Collateral Agent in the Perfection Information for filing in each governmental, municipal or other office specified in Schedule 5
to the Perfection Information (or specified by notice from such Grantor to the Collateral Agent after the Closing Date in the case of filings, recordings or registrations required by Section 6.11 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement), are all
the filings, recordings and registrations that are necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which
the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording,
registration or reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation statements. 

(c) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the
payment and performance of the Obligations, including the Guaranty and (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(b), a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected
by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the relevant jurisdiction. The
Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than (i) any nonconsensual Lien that is expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement and has
priority as a matter of law, (ii) Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement and (iii) Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the First Lien Credit Agreement. 

(d) The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for (A) Liens expressly permitted
pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement and (B) Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the First Lien Credit Agreement. None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any
financing statement or analogous document under the New York UCC or any other applicable laws covering any Article 9 Collateral or (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or
similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in
each case, for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement and Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the First Lien Credit Agreement. 

SECTION 3.03 Covenants. 

(a) Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any change (i) in legal name of any Grantor,
(ii) in the identity or type of organization or corporate structure of any Grantor, or (iii) in the jurisdiction of organization of any Grantor. 

(b) Each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the
Article 9 Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent in the Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Second
Lien Credit Agreement and Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the First Lien Credit Agreement. 
  

 Page 10 

 (c) (i) Each quarter, at the time of delivery of quarterly financial statements with
respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Collateral Agent the information required pursuant to Sections 1(a), 1(c), 1(e), 1(f) and 2(b) of the
Perfection Information and (ii) annually, the Company shall deliver to the Collateral Agent the information required pursuant to Section 9 of the Perfection Information, or confirm that there has been no change in such information since
the date of such certificate or the date of the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03(c). 
 (d)
The Company agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Grantor, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent
may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of
the Article 9 Collateral that is in excess of $1,000,000 shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument, such note or instrument shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. 
 (e) At its option, the Collateral
Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Second Lien Credit
Agreement or Section 7.01 of the First Lien Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Second Lien Credit Agreement or this
Agreement and within a reasonable period of time after the Collateral Agent has requested that it do so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent within ten days after demand for any payment made or any
reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

 (f) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person, the
value of which is in excess of $1,000,000, to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Such assignment need not be filed
of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest. 

 

 Page 11 

 (g) Each Grantor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable
(as between itself and any relevant counterparty) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance
with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance. 

SECTION 3.04 Other Actions. In order to further insure the attachment, perfection and priority (in the case of priority, subject
to Liens granted to the First Lien Collateral Agent) of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Security Interest, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to
the following Article 9 Collateral: 
 (a) Instruments. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any
Instruments constituting Collateral and evidencing an amount in excess of $1,000,000, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent or First Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable may from time to
time reasonably request. 
 (b) Investment Property. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article II, if any
Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, may from time to time
reasonably request. If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, upon the Collateral Agent’s request (or the request of the First
Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable) and following the occurrence of an Event of Default such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, thereof and, at the Collateral Agent’s
reasonable request, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, either (i) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the
Collateral Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, as to such securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, to
become the registered owner of the securities. 
 SECTION 3.05 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the
event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. 

ARTICLE IV  

Remedies 

SECTION 4.01 Remedies upon Default. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with 

 

 Page 12 

 
respect to the Obligations under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon
request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably
convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its
rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such
occupancy; (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable
Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such exercise; and (iv) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral
securing the Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized
at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a
view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale
of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has
or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. 
 The Collateral
Agent shall give the applicable Grantors ten days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral
Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or
exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and
at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral
Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have
been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further
notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale
price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such
Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of
redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby 
  

 Page 13 

 
waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such
Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes
hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of
the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an
alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or
decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as
provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions. 
 Each Grantor irrevocably
makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default and
after notice to the Borrower of its intent to exercise such rights, for the purpose of (i) making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any
check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance, (ii) making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto and (iii) obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance required by
Section 6.07 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement or paying any premium in whole or in part relating thereto. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs,
expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, within ten days of demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby. 

SECTION 4.02 Application of Proceeds. 

(a) The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash,
in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement. 
 (b) The Collateral Agent shall have absolute
discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial
proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money therefor by the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be
obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. 

(c) In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 4.02, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon
information supplied by the Administrative Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Obligations, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for
actions 
  

 Page 14 

 
taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so
supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire
as to the application by the Administrative Agent of any amounts distributed to it. 
 ARTICLE V  

Subrogation and Subordination 

SECTION 5.01 Contribution and Subrogation. Each Grantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to
Section 5.02) that, in the event assets of any other Grantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall be sold pursuant to any Collateral Document to satisfy any Obligation owed to any Secured Party, the Contributing Party shall indemnify
the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the
denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing Parties together with the net worth of the Claiming Party on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Grantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 6.14, the date of the
Security Agreement Supplement executed and delivered by such Grantor). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such
payment. 
 SECTION 5.02 Subordination. 

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Grantors under Section 5.01 and all other
rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of any Grantor to make the payments required by
Section 5.01 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the
full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder. 
 (b) Each Grantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default and after notice from the Collateral Agent all Indebtedness owed by it to any Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. 

ARTICLE VI  

Miscellaneous 

SECTION 6.01 Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in
writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Second Lien Credit
Agreement. 
  

 Page 15 

 SECTION 6.02 Waivers; Amendment. 

(a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent, any other Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any
other 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 Collateral Agent, any other Agent 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 consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of
whether the Collateral Agent, any other Agent, any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant
to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01
of the Second Lien Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 6.03 Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.

 (a) The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder
as provided in Section 10.04 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement as if such section were set out in full herein and references to “the Borrower” therein were references to each Guarantor. 

(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Collateral
Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 10.05 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable
and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing agreements or instruments contemplated hereby, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as
to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer,
employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee or (y) a material breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee. 

(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents.
The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this 

 

 Page 16 

 
Agreement or any other Loan Document, 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 Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 6.03 shall be payable within ten days of written demand
therefor. 
 SECTION 6.04 Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to,
such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure
to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. 
 SECTION 6.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors in the 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 shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral
Agent, any other Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as
long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. 

SECTION 6.06 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall
constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication shall be as effective as delivery of
a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall
have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such
assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Second Lien Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified,
supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder. 

SECTION 6.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 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. 
  

 Page 17 

 SECTION 6.08 Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Grantor, any such notice being
waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Grantor and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the respective Grantors and their Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its
Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and
application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 6.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that the Collateral Agent, such Lender may have.

Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and notice by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower of its intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral
Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof;

be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any
action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually

negligence or willful misconduct or that of any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents or attorneys-in-fact.

amalgamated under the Province of Alberta, SMART TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, the Subsidiaries of the Borrower from time to time party thereto and DEUTSCHE BANK AG, CANADA BRANCH, as Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties.

 A. Reference is made to the second lien credit agreement dated as of August 28, 2007 (as amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), among SMART Technologies ULC., as borrower (the “Borrower”), SMART Technologies (Holdings) Inc. (“Holdings”), Deutsche Bank
AG, Canada Branch, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), each Lender from time to time party thereto and each other
party thereto. 
 B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such
terms in the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement referred to therein. 
 C. The Grantors have entered into
the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans under the Second Lien Security Agreement. Section 6.14 of the Second Lien Security Agreement provides that certain Persons may become Grantors under the Second Lien Security
Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Person (the “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Second Lien Credit Agreement to
become a Grantor under the Second Lien Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans from time to time under the terms of the Second Lien Credit Agreement. 

Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.14 of the Security Agreement, the New Grantor by its signature below becomes a Grantor under
the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and
(b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor , as security for the payment and
performance in full of the Obligations does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New
Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) of the New Grantor. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Grantor. The
Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 

 SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity. 
 SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by
different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have
received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Grantor, and the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other
electronic communication shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement. 
 SECTION 4.
The New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the Pledged Collateral and (b) set forth under its signature hereto is the true and correct legal name of the
New Grantor, its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office. 
 SECTION 5. Except as expressly
supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
 SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 7. In case any one or more of
the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto 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 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 6.01 of the Security
Agreement. 
 SECTION 9. The New Grantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in
connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent.
