Re:    Consulting Services Agreement

Dear Rick:

This letter agreement will confirm the terms and conditions of your engagement to provide consulting services to Hardinge Inc. (“Company”).  The terms of the engagement are as follows:

1.    Engagement.  The Company engages you, and you agree to be engaged by the Company, as an independent contractor to provide consulting services to the Company in connection with transitioning your former duties as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company to your successor (collectively, “Services”).  The Services will include, but not be limited to, introducing your successor to key constituencies of the Company, including, customers, vendors, managers and other strategic partners, and transferring the Company goodwill associated with these relationships to your successor.  You will perform the Services in an efficient, trustworthy and professional manner.  In performing the Services, you will conform to the highest standards of professional practice and performance.  

2.    Manner of Providing Services.  You will provide Services to the Company during normal business hours as and when requested by the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.  You shall not be required to devote more than 80 hours per Month (as hereinafter defined) to the Services.  To avoid inconvenience or conflict with respect to your other business or personal affairs, the Company will use reasonable efforts to allow you to provide Services using telephone, electronic mail or other means of communications.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if reasonably requested by the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, you will agree to travel, including international travel, to perform the Services.  

3.    Independent Contractor.  You will be an independent contractor to the Company.  Except as otherwise specifically contemplated by the terms of your separation of employment from the Company, you will not be entitled to participate in any benefit plan or program for employees of the Company, including, without limitation, any plan or program for life, medical, dental, accident, or travel insurance, profit sharing, vacation, sick leave, retirement savings or retirement benefits.  For all purposes, including, but not limited to, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), the Social Security Act, the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA), income tax withholding and any and all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, you shall be treated as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the Company.  You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for the payment of all income taxes with respect to compensation the Company pays you for the Services.  

4.    Consulting Fee.  In consideration for the Services, the Company will pay you a consulting fee in the amount of $38,500 per Month (the “Consulting Fee”).  The Consulting Fee will be paid to you in arrears, on or about the last day of each Month.  

5.    Expenses.  You will be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses you incur in furtherance of your performance of the Services provided that you submit to the Company, appropriate receipts, reports, and/or documentation with respect to such expenses.  Reimbursement payments will be made within 30 days of receipt of the aforesaid receipts, reports and/or documentation. 

6.    Term of Engagement.  The engagement shall commence on May 11, 2017 and remain in effect for three consecutive Months, unless terminated earlier by either party for cause.  For the purposes of this letter agreement, “Month” means a 30 day period, with the first Month commencing on May 11, 2017.  

7.    Confidential Information.  You acknowledge that in the course of your engagement as a consultant pursuant to this letter agreement, you may continue to have access to certain facts and information regarding the operations, finances and strategic initiatives of the Company and its affiliates.  All such information is to be held by you in strict confidence, and will be subject to the applicable post-separation provisions of your Employment Agreement with the Company.  

8.    Reports.  Throughout the term of the engagement, you will furnish to the Company when and as requested, reports and records relating to Services.  All such reports and records will be the sole property of the Company.  Upon termination of the engagement for any reason, you will promptly deliver to the Company all documents and materials relating to the Company or the Services, without retaining any copy thereof. 

9.    Separation from Service.  Under applicable Treasury Regulations, you are not deemed to have a “separation from service” for purposes of determining when deferred compensation can be paid to you, under your employment agreement and under the Hardinge Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “SERP”), until the date when you and the Company no longer expect you to provide at least 30 hours per month of services to the Company as either an employee or an independent contractor.  Because you may provide more than 30 hours of services per month to the Company as an independent contractor during the 90 day term of this letter agreement, your “separation from service” with the Company for purposes of the deferred compensation payable to you under your employment agreement and the SERP will be your last day as an independent contractor under this letter agreement rather than your last day as an employee under your employment agreement.   Specifically, under your employment agreement your will receive (1) six months of Base Salary in a lump sum within 60 days of your termination of employment as stated in that agreement, and (2) all welfare benefits to be provided to you under the terms of the employment agreement will be provided as started in that agreement, but (3) the balance of your severance pay under Section 5.2.1 that agreement will begin payment on the 6-month anniversary of the day following the last day of this letter  agreement.  Similarly, your “Separation from Service” within the meaning of the SERP will be the 6-month anniversary of the day following the last day of this letter agreement.

10.    Miscellaneous.  This letter agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding your engagement to provide Services to the Company.  This letter agreement may not be modified, except in a writing signed by you and the Company.  

Please indicate your agreement with the foregoing by execution of the enclosed counterpart of this letter.

Very truly yours,

HARDINGE INC.

Section 2.10 [Reserved]. 
 Section 2.11 Mandatory Reduction of L/C Commitments. The L/C Commitments shall be reduced automatically and irrevocably by (a) 50% of the amount by which the Designated Transaction Proceeds since the Effective Date exceed $500,000,000
but do  

  
 38 

 
not exceed $1,000,000,000, plus (b) 100% of the amount by which the Designated Transaction Proceeds since the Effective Date

the L/C Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11 on account of all L/C Lenders and Issuing Bank. 

Section 2.12 Increased Costs. (a) If, due to either (i) after the Effective Date the introduction of or any change in or
in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) made or issued after the Effective Date, there
shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to issue, participate in, fund or maintain, or issuing, participating in, funding or maintaining Letters of Credit (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.12 any such
increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.15 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign
jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the
Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost; provided that a Lender claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.12(a) agrees to use
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Office and/or take other commercially reasonable action if the making of such a designation or the taking of such
actions would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate as to the amount of such
increased cost, submitted to the Borrowers and the Agent by such Lender, shall be entitled to a presumption of correctness. If any Borrower so notifies the Agent after any L/C Lender notifies the Borrowers of any increased cost pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12(a), such Borrower may, upon payment of such increased cost to such L/C Lender, replace such L/C Lender with a Person that is an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the terms of
Section 9.16 (and the L/C Lender being so replaced shall take all action as may be necessary to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Eligible Assignee). 

(b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any change after the Effective Date in law or regulation or any guideline or request after
the Effective Date from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any entity
controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’’s commitment hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, upon demand by
such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or

  
 39 

 
such entity in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’’s commitment hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrowers and the Agent by such Lender shall be entitled to a presumption of correctness. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives
promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case
be deemed to be a change in law covered by this Section 2.12 regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. 

(c) The Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or capital, liquidity or
reserve requirement or pursuant to Section 2.15 for any Taxes incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the change or issuance giving rise to such increased costs or capital, liquidity or
reserve requirement or Tax and of such
Lender’’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the change or issuance giving rise to such increased costs or capital, liquidity or reserve requirement or Tax is retroactive, then the six-month
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 Section 2.13
[Reserved]. 
 Section 2.14 Payments and Computations. 

(a) The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, without any right of counterclaim or set-off, not
later than 2:00 P.M. on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Agent at the
Agent’’s Account in same day funds. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or commitment fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant
to Section 2.12 or 2.15) to the applicable L/C Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its
Applicable Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to
Section 9.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the L/C Lender
assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. 

(b) Each Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed by it to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents, to charge from time to time against any or all of such
Borrower’’s accounts with such Lender any amount so due. Any such Lender so charging such accounts shall deliver the proceeds therefrom to the Agent for distribution to the Credit Parties in the manner set forth herein and
in the other Loan Documents. 

  
 40 

 (c) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on theEurocurrency Rate, Federal Funds Rate and of letter of credit fees, commitment fees and
other fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or commitment fees are payable.
Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

(d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such
payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be. 

(e) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due by it to the Lenders hereunder
that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each
applicable Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount
distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. 

Section 2.15 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrowers to or for the account of any Recipient hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any other
documents to be delivered hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.14 or the applicable provisions of such other documents, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes (except as required
by applicable law). If the Borrowers and/or Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any other documents to be delivered hereunder to any Recipient,
(i) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes (including deductions for
Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) such Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions of Indemnified Taxes been made, (ii) the Borrowers
and/or Agent shall make such deductions as are determined by such Borrowers and/or Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to Sections 2.15(e) and (f) and (iii) the Borrowers
and/or Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In
addition, the Borrowers shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery or

  
 41 

 
registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other documents to be delivered hereunder, but excluding any such taxes that are
Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 9.16) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). Other Taxes shall not include any Taxes imposed on, or
measured by reference to, gross income, net income or gain. 
 (c) Without duplication of any additional amounts paid pursuant to
Section 2.15(a), the Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by
any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 2.15) imposed on or paid by such Recipient or withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any liability (including penalties, interest and reasonable
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from
the date such Recipient or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. 
 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment
of Indemnified Taxes, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other
written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. 
 (e) Any Lender or other Recipient that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender or other Recipient, if reasonably requested by the
Borrowers or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or other Recipient is
subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 
 (i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: 

(1) each Lender that is a United States person (or is a disregarded entity within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 301.7701-3 of a United States person), on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender, and from time to time thereafter as
reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Agent, shall provide each of the Agent and the Borrowers with two executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender (or, in the case or a disregarded entity,
its owner) is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and 

  
 42 

 (2) each Lender that is not a United States person (and is not a disregarded
entity within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 of a United States person): 
 (A) on or prior to
the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers (but only so long as
such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Agent and the Borrowers with two executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender (or, in the case of a disregarded entity, its owner) is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents; and 
 (B) on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement and on the date of the
Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Agent
and the Borrowers with executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 If the form provided by
a Lender or other Recipient at the time such Lender or other Recipient first becomes a party to this Agreement (or, with respect to a Lender, changes its Applicable Office) indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero
(or if no form is provided at such time), withholding tax at such rate (or, respectively, at the maximum rate) shall be considered excluded from Indemnified Taxes unless and until such Lender or other Recipient provides the appropriate forms
certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Indemnified Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided, however, that, if at the date of the Assignment
and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under Section 2.15(a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such
date, then, to such extent, the term Indemnified Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Indemnified Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable
with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this Section 2.15(e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on
the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or W-8ECI, that the Lender or other Recipient reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender or other Recipient shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and shall not be
obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. For purposes of this Section 2.15(e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified
in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. 

  
 43 

 (f) For any period with respect to which a Lender or other Recipient has failed to provide the
Borrowers with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 2.15(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring subsequent to the
date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided, or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under Section 2.15(e)), such Lender or other Recipient shall not be
entitled to indemnification under Section 2.15(a) or (c) with respect to Indemnified Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender or other Recipient
become subject to Indemnified Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Borrowers shall take such steps as the Lender or other Recipient shall reasonably request to assist the Lender or
other Recipient to recover such Indemnified Taxes. Further, if a payment made to a Lender or other Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or other Recipient were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or other Recipient shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or other Recipient has complied with such
Lender’’s or other
Recipient’’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the
Effective Date. 
 (g) Each Lender and other Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to
this Section 2.15 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(h) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent
with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter
accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 (i) If any Lender or other
Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has actually and finally realized, by reason of a refund, a deduction or credit of any Indemnified Taxes paid or reimbursed by the Borrowers pursuant to
Section 2.15(a) or Section 2.15(c) above in respect of payments under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, a current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained, and that would result in the total
payments under this Section 2.15 exceeding the amount needed to make such Lender or other Recipient whole, such Lender or other Recipient shall pay to the Borrowers, with reasonable promptness following the date on which it actually
realizes such benefit, an amount equal to the amount of such excess, net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred 

  
 44 

 
by such Lender or other Recipient reasonably allocable in securing such refund, deduction or credit and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of such Lender or other Recipient, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers to such Lender or other Recipient (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed
by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Lender or other Recipient is required to repay such refund to such jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 2.15(i) shall be construed to require any Lender or other Recipient to
make available to the Borrowers or any other Person its tax returns or any confidential tax information. 
 (j) If the Agent or any Lender
or other Recipient, as the case may be, shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15, including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower, or with respect to which Borrower or a Group Member that is a signatory hereto has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall notify
Borrower of the availability of such refund claim and, if the Agent or any Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, determines in good faith that making a claim for refund will not have any adverse consequence to its taxes or business
operations, shall, after receipt of a request by Borrower, make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund at Borrower’’s expense. 

Section 2.16 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any L/C Lender shall obtain any payment from any Group Member (whether voluntary,
involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Reimbursement Obligations or other amounts owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15) in excess of its ratable share, such
L/C Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other L/C Lenders such participations or other amounts owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing L/C Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing L/C Lender, such purchase from each L/C Lender shall be rescinded and such L/C Lender shall repay to the purchasing L/C Lender the
purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such L/C
Lender’’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such L/C Lender’’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing L/C Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing L/C Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any L/C Lender so purchasing a participation from another L/C Lender pursuant
to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such L/C Lender were the direct creditor of the
Borrowers in the amount of such participation. 
 Section 2.17
Increase of L/C Commitments. At any time and from time to time, upon the request of the Borrowers and with notice to the Agent and the Issuing Bank, any L/C Lender may
increase its L/C Commitment by electing (in its sole discretion) to deposit or cause to be deposited into the Lender Cash Collateral Account of such L/C Lender an amount equal to 102% of such increase; provided, in no event shall the aggregate L/C
Commitments exceed the Facility Cap, provided, further, that each increase after the Effective Date shall be in increments of not less than $25,000,000.

thirty (30) days prior to the L/C Termination Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Bank; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) such Letter of Credit is not a replacement Letter of Credit to which the Required L/C

jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of
Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was
not applicable on the Effective Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; (iii) such issuance would violate one 

  
 46 

 
or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally; (iv) the conditions precedent to each issuance of a Letter of Credit set forth in Section 4.02
have not been satisfied; (v) at the time of such issuance (x) the Cash Collateral Agreement shall have ceased for any reason to be in full force and effect or (y) any L/C Lender or Loan Party shall so state in writing or (z) any
Lien created by the Cash Collateral Agreement shall cease to be enforceable and of the same effect and priority purported to be created thereby; or (vi) at the time of such proposed L/C Extension there has been a drawing on any Letter of Credit
outstanding hereunder for which the Borrowers have not made all payments required to be made by the Borrowers under Section 3.05. 

(d) Unless previously terminated, the L/C Commitments of each L/C Lender shall terminate and be reduced to zero on the L/C Termination Date.

 (e) Notwithstanding Section 3.01(c): 

(i) the Issuing Bank shall not, other than with the written consent of the Required L/C Lenders, issue any Letter of Credit if
such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder or after the expiry date of such Letter of Credit;

beneficiary thereof within the time period specified in such Letter of Credit (which notification shall not exceed ninety
(90be delivered at least sixty (60) days prior to the
then-applicable expiration date), or, if no such time period is specified, at least thirty (30) days prior to the then-applicable expiration date, that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed or extended, and (z). Following (but not before) the earlier of
(i) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default and (ii) October 13, 2018, the Issuing Bank shall make such notification to the beneficiary as described in clause (y) abovethe prior sentence promptly upon request by the Required L/C Lenders. 
 Section 3.02 Procedure for
Issuance of Letter of Credit. Any Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit for its account (on behalf of such Borrower or on behalf of any other Group Member) by delivering to the Issuing Bank and the
Agent at their addresses for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Bank, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Bank may reasonably request.
Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Bank will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly
issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Bank be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents
and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the 

  
 47 

 
beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower. The Issuing Bank shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the applicable Borrower
promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent of the issuance, extension or amendment of Letters of Credit and any drawings or other payments under Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank. A request by a Borrower for issuance of a Letter of Credit may be subject to the effectiveness of an increase in the L/C Commitments of one of more L/C Lenders pursuant to Section
2.17. 
 Section 3.03 Fees and Other Charges. 

(a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired
amount of each Letter of Credit, payable monthly in arrears on the 3rd day subsequent to the last day of each month after the issuance date. 

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrowers shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Bank for such normal and customary costs and expenses
as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Bank in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, unless otherwise agreed. 

Section 3.04 Letter of Credit Participations. 

(a) The Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Lender, and, to induce the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of
Credit, each L/C Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C
Lender’’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Lender’’s L/C Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Bank’’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Bank thereunder. Each L/C Lender agrees with the Issuing Bank
that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank for which the Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Lender shall pay to the Issuing Bank upon
demand at the Issuing
Bank’’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Lender’’s L/C Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that
is not so reimbursed, provided that (x) in lieu of making any demands under this Section 3.04(a), the Issuing Bank may withdraw funds from such L/C
Lender’’s Lender Cash Collateral Account; or (y) so long as funds sufficient to pay such amount are in such L/C Lender’s Lender Cash Collateral Account and are available to the Issuing Bank without stay or
delay, such L/C Lender may satisfy any demands made under this Section 3.04(a) by the Issuing Bank, by directing the Issuing Bank to withdraw funds from such L/C Lender’s Lender Cash Collateral Account, in each case, to satisfy such
payment obligations in accordance with
Section 45 of the Cash Collateral Agreement. The Issuing Bank shall give prompt notice of such withdrawal in accordance with the Cash Collateral Agreement. Each L/C Lender’’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C
Lender may have against the Issuing Bank, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason 

  
 48 

 
whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article IV, (iii) any
adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Lender or (v) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each L/C Lender shall only be obligated to make any such payment in Dollars (and not any foreign currency) in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.10 hereof. 
 (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Lender to the Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 3.04(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Bank within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Lender shall
pay to the Issuing Bank on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the Issuing Bank, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Lender
pursuant to Section 3.04(a) is not made available to the Issuing Bank by such L/C Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Lender, on demand, the BaseEurodollar Rate plus
5.2511% per annum. A certificate of the Issuing Bank submitted to any L/C Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, provided that (x) in
lieu of making any demands under this Section 3.04(b), the Issuing Bank may withdraw funds from such L/C Lender’’s Lender Cash Collateral Account; or (y) so long as funds sufficient to pay
such amount are in such L/C Lender’s Lender Cash Collateral Account and are available to the Issuing Bank without stay or delay, such L/C Lender may satisfy any demands made under this Section 3.04(b) by the Issuing Bank, by
directing the Issuing Bank to withdraw funds from such L/C Lender’s Lender Cash Collateral Account, in each case, to satisfy such payment obligations in accordance with
Section 45 of the Cash Collateral Agreement. The Issuing Bank shall give prompt notice of such withdrawal in accordance with the Cash Collateral Agreement. 

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Bank has made payment under any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank and has received from
any L/C Lender its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.04(a) or (b), the Issuing Bank receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the applicable Borrower or otherwise,
including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Bank), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Bank will distribute to such L/C Lender its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event
that any such payment received by the Issuing Bank shall be required to be rescinded, restored or returned by the Issuing Bank upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Person or otherwise, such L/C Lender shall return to the Issuing
Bank the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Bank to it, provided, further, that if such L/C Lender (x) is an L/C Lender with respect to which an L/C Lender Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing with
respect to such L/C Lender or its Parent Company, or if such L/C Lender or its Parent Company has become the subject of a Bail-In Action, and (y) such L/C Lender has defaulted on its obligations to the Issuing Bank, then the Issuing Bank may
apply any such proceeds first to such defaulted obligations and after such defaulted obligations are paid in full, pay any remainder to such L/C Lender. 

  
 49 

 Section 3.05 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. If any draft is paid under
any Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with such
payment, not later than 12:00 Noon on (i) the Business Day immediately following the day that the applicable draft is paid if Borrower receives notice of such draft on such day prior to 10:00 A.M. or (ii) if clause (i) above does not
apply, the second Business Day immediately following the day that the draft is paid. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is drawn until paid at (x) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant drawing, a rate equal to the BaseEurodollar Rate plus
5.2511% per annum, and (y) thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 8.25%. 
 Section 3.06 Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’’s obligations under this Article III shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment that any Borrower may have or
have had against the Issuing Bank, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. Each Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Bank that the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and such Borrower’’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.05 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in
fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among such Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of such Borrower
against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in
connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank that issued
such Letter of Credit. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on such Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Bank to such Borrower. 

Section 3.07 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank
shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Bank to the Borrowers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank shall, in
addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in
conformity with such Letter of Credit. 

  
 50 

 Section 3.08 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application
related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply. 

Section 3.09 Use of Letters of Credit. The Letters of Credit shall be available (and each Borrower agrees that it shall use such
Letters of Credit) for general corporate purposes of Holdings and its Subsidiaries. 
 Section 3.10 Currency Equivalents Generally;
Exchange Rates. 
 (a) The Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be
used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of Letters of Credit and other Obligations denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting
any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date occurs. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided
herein, the applicable amount of any Alternative Currency for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as determined by the Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, in accordance with the first sentence of this
clause (a). The Borrowers and the L/C Lenders will be promptly informed of the results of such calculations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, where the permissibility of a transaction
or determinations of required actions or circumstances (excluding in connection with the matters referred to in clause (b) below) depend upon compliance with, or are determined by reference to, amounts stated in Dollars, such amounts
shall be deemed to refer to Dollars or Dollar Equivalents and any requisite currency translation shall be based on the Spot Rate, and the permissibility of actions taken under Section 6.02 shall not be affected by subsequent fluctuations
in exchange rates; provided that if Permitted Refinancing Debt is incurred to refinance other Debt, and such Permitted Refinancing Debt would cause the applicable Dollar denominated limitation to be exceeded if calculated at the Spot Rate in
effect on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such refinancing, such Dollar denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of Permitted Refinancing Debt does not exceed the principal
amount of such Debt being refinanced except as permitted hereunder. 
 (b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with any payment of any
Obligations or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Obligation or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such
amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be. 

  
 51 

 Section 3.11 Borrowers Cash Collateral. 

(a) If: 
 (i)
any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Required L/C Lenders require the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the L/C Lender Exposure; 

(ii) an Event of Default set forth under Section 7.01(e) occurs and is continuing; 

(iii) for any reason, any Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time of termination in full of the L/C Commitments and
backstop Satisfactory Letters of Credit are not in place; 
 (iv) for any reason, any Letter of Credit is outstanding at the
time that the aggregate L/C Lender Exposure exceed the L/C Commitments (including as a result of a reduction pursuant to Section 2.11) and backstop Satisfactory Letters of Credit are not in place; or 

(v) any Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time the Existing Credit Agreement or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is
terminated, replaced or refinanced and backstop Satisfactory Letters of Credit are not in place; or 

(i)
 at any time that the aggregate amount of the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement) exceeds the Modified Borrowing Base, as set forth in the most recently delivered Modified Borrowing Base Certificate, 

then the Borrowers shall at such
time (or in the case of clause (vi) within 10 days of such occurrence, provided that the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement) then continue to exceed the Modified Borrowing Base, as set forth in the most recent Modified Borrowing Base Certificate) deposit in a cash collateral account maintained
by the Agent, an amount equal to 102% of the aggregate L/C Lender Exposure (or, in the case of clause (iv) or
(vi), 102% of the amount of such excess), and shall do so not later than 2:00 P.M. on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i), (iii) or (iv), (1) the first Business
Day immediately following the day that the Borrowers receives notice thereof, if such notice is received on such day prior to 12:00 noon or (2) if clause (1) above does not apply, the second Business Day immediately following the day that
the Borrowers receive such notice and (y) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (ii) or (v), the Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under Section 7.01(e) occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately succeeding such day. 
 (b) The Borrowers hereby grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Lenders, a
security interest in all cash collateral accounts established pursuant to Section 3.11(a), and all cash deposited and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash collateral held by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement
(including pursuant to Article VII) may be invested in cash equivalents selected by the Agent in its sole discretion. Upon the drawing of 

  
 52 

 
any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as cash collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Requirements of Law, to reimburse the Issuing Bank,
or, to the extent any L/C Lender has paid the Issuing Bank in respect of any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.04(a), to reimburse the L/C Lenders. To the extent the amount of any such cash collateral exceeds 102% of the then current amount of all L/C Lender Exposure and so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the Borrowers. In the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, if such Event of Default is cured or waived and no other Event of Default is then occurring and continuing, the
amount of any such cash collateral shall be refunded to the Borrowers. 
 Section 3.12 Replacement and Cancellation of
Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent that the Issuer Exposure exceeds the Aggregate L/C Commitments at any time, whether as a result of
Section 2.11, the occurrence of the L/C Termination Date, or otherwise, and regardless of whether there are backstop Satisfactory Letters of Credit, the Borrowers shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause a replacement letter of
credit to be issued, or other credit support or collateral to be provided to the applicable beneficiaries thereof and cause the Letters of Credit to be returned to the Issuing Bank and cancelled, such that after giving effect to all returns and
cancellations pursuant to this sentence, the Issuer Exposure does not exceed the Aggregate L/C Commitments.

such authorization, approval or other action could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

against such Loan Party in accordance with its respective terms subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(g) There is no action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding, including any Environmental Action, which is pending or, to Holdings or
any Borrower’’s knowledge, threatened affecting Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries before any court, Governmental Authority or arbitrator that would, either individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect other than as reported in filings with the SEC made prior to the date hereof. 

(h) Following each L/C Extension, not more than five (5%) percent of the value of the assets of the Borrowers and their respective
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).

meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 (j) All United States Federal income tax returns and all other material tax
returns which are required to be filed have been filed by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries, and all taxes due with respect to Holdings, the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to such returns
or pursuant to any assessment received by Holdings, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary have been paid except to the extent permitted in Section 6.01(b). The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Holdings, the Borrowers and their

such information was stated or certified; provided that with respect to projected financial information, the Loan Parties represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the
time. 
 (l) (i) Each Loan Party has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or
a valid leasehold interest in, all its other property necessary for the conduct of its business and except as, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) no Collateral, DC or Related
Intellectual Property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 6.02(a).

asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor do Holdings or the Borrowers know of any valid basis for any such claim; and
(iii) the use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect. 

(n) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.01(n) or as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
(i) neither a Reportable Event nor a failure to meet minimum required contributions (in accordance with Section 430 or any prior applicable section of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five

that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary duty rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted
or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, in each case that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Loan Party nor
any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or would reasonably be expected to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan, other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA or as would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, no event has occurred which, with the
giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and neither
any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that would reasonably be expected to be subject to Sections 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, neither Holdings,
the Borrowers nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal (as such terms are defined in Sections 4203 and 4205 of ERISA, respectively) from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or would reasonably be expected to

received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability. 

(p) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Co-Collateral Agents, for the benefit of the Credit Parties,
a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the ABL Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement constitutes, to the extent a security interest can be perfected by filing the UCC financing
statements specified on Schedule 5.01(p) and by executing the control agreements described on Schedule 5.01(p), a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the ABL Collateral and the
proceeds thereof, as security for the ABL Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to the Lien or claim of any other Person (except Liens permitted by Section 6.02(a) which by operation of law would have priority over the Liens
securing the ABL Obligations). Each Mortgage, upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, will create in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the L/C Lenders and the
Issuing Bank, a legal, valid and enforceable second lien, subject to Permitted Liens, security interest in all the applicable mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to the Real Estate Collateral subject thereto and the proceeds thereof,
and when the Mortgages have been filed in the appropriate filing or recording office in the jurisdictions specified therein, the Mortgages will constitute a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the mortgagors in the
Real Estate Collateral and the proceeds thereof, prior and superior to the rights of any other Person, except for rights secured by Liens permitted under Section 6.02.

thereto provided pursuant to Section 4.01 are true and correct copies of each such document, each of which is valid and in full force and effect.

forth on Schedule 5.01(t) (as updated by the Borrowers from time to time) (i) no Loan Party or any Subsidiary is a party to or bound by any collective bargaining agreement, management agreement or any material bonus, restricted stock,
stock option, or stock appreciation plan or agreement or any similar plan, agreement or arrangement (excluding in each case individual employment agreements) and (ii) no employee of a Loan Party is also an employee of the Permitted Holder.
There are no representation proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings or any Borrower, threatened to be filed with the National Labor Relations Board, and no labor organization or group of employees of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary has

Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

thereto). 
 ARTICLE VIII 

THE AGENT 

Section 8.01 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Bank as Agent under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. For clarity, and 

  
 79 

 
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, no consent of the Lenders shall be required to amend this Agreement or the Loan Documents to
(i) cause additional assets to become Collateral or to add additional Subsidiaries as guarantors of the Obligations, or (ii) implement the provisions of Section 8.12, and the Agent and the Loan Parties shall be entitled to
execute any and all amendments necessary or desirable to accomplish any of the foregoing and such amendments shall be binding on the other parties hereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agent shall not
have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities,
duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. 

Section 8.02 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or
through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it
with reasonable care. 
 Section 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent (for purposes of this Article VIII,
“Agent” and “Agents” shall mean the collective reference to the Agent and any other Lender designated as an “Agent” for purposes of this Agreement, including any lead arrangers, syndication agent or
documentation agent) nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct); or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for
the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party that is a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder;
provided that the Agent will not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or any Requirement of Law, including for the
avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. 

Section 8.04 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument,
writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by

  
 80 

 
the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings or the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless they shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required L/C Lenders as they deem appropriate or they shall
first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by them by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or
in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required L/C Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all present and future L/C Lenders and all future holders of the Reimbursement Obligations. 

Section 8.05 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or
Event of Default unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender, Holdings or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that
the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required L/C Lenders (or, if so specified
by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 
 Section 8.06 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other
Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent
hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly
required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 

  
 81 

 Section 8.07 Reports and Financial Statements. By signing this Agreement, each
Lender: 
 (a) is deemed to have requested that the Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after they become available, copies of all financial
statements and reports required to be delivered by the Loan Parties hereunder and all commercial finance examinations and appraisals of the Collateral received by the Agent (collectively, the “Reports”); 

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the Reports, and shall not be
liable for any information contained in any Report; 
 (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits
or examinations, that the Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’’ personnel; 

(d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and 

(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Agent and
any such other Lender or Person preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any credit extensions that the indemnifying
Lender has made or may make to the Borrowers, or the indemnifying
Lender’’s participation in any Letter of Credit, or the indemnifying Lender’’s purchase of, a Reimbursement Obligation; and (ii) to pay and protect, and
indemnify, defend, and hold the Agent and any such other Lender or Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney costs) incurred by
the Agent and any such other Lender or Person preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 

Section 8.08 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by
Holdings or the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Holdings or the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective L/C Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or,
if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the L/C Commitments of any L/C Lender shall have terminated, in accordance with such L/C Commitment Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment Reimbursement Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the L/C Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or
any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of 

  
 82 

 
the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Agent’’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall
survive the payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents. 
 Section 8.09 Agent in Its
Individual Capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Agent were not an Agent. With respect to any Letter of Credit issued or
participated in by it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the Issuing Bank or L/C Lender, as applicable, and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms
“Issuing Bank”, “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity. 

Section 8.10 Successor Agent. 

(a) The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. If the Agent shall resign as Agent under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required L/C Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be
subject to approval by the Borrowers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the
Required L/C Lenders and the Borrowers (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall
succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former
Agent’’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of Reimbursement
Obligations. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Agent’’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder, until such time, if any, as the Required L/C Lenders appoint a
successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring
Agent’’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII and Sections 9.04, 9.09, 9.11 and 9.12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 8.11 [Reserved]. 

Section 8.12 [Reserved].

(v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan

of the L/C Obligations owing to, each L/C Lender from time to time, and the account party, beneficiary, amount, expiration date, and other economic terms of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the L/C Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as an L/C Lender hereunder for all purposes of this

responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) [reserved], (iv) the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such L/C Lender in connection with such

a participant’s interest in any L/C Commitment, L/C Obligation or other obligations under the Loan Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such L/C/ Commitment, L/C Obligation or other
obligation under the Loan Documents is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such L/C Lender shall treat

have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries
furnished to such L/C Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Borrower
Information relating to Holdings, the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries received by it from such L/C Lender in accordance with Section 9.08.

special purpose funding vehicles (each, an “SPV”) all or any portion of its funded L/C Obligations (without the corresponding L/C Commitment), without the consent of any Person or the payment of a fee, by execution of a written
assignment agreement in a form agreed to by such L/C Lender and such SPV, and may grant any such SPV the option, in such SPV’’s sole discretion, to provide the Borrowers all or any part of any L/C Obligation
that such L/C Lender would otherwise be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement. Such SPVs shall have all the rights which a L/C Lender making or holding such L/C Obligations would have under this Agreement, but no obligations; provided,
that no SPV shall be entitled to compensation pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15 in excess of that to which the applicable L/C Lender would otherwise have been entitled. The L/C Lender shall remain liable for all its original
obligations under this Agreement, including its L/C Commitment (although the unused portion thereof shall be reduced by the principal amount of any L/C Obligations held by an SPV). Notwithstanding such assignment, the Agent and Borrowers may deliver
notices to the L/C Lender (as agent for the SPV) and not separately to the SPV unless the Agent and Borrowers are requested in writing by the SPV (or its agent) to deliver such notices separately to it.
